E. coli Testkit

This testkit allows you to test for E. coli without bringing samples to a lab. It’s accurate enough to help you understand if there are issues, but it is not sensitive enough to determine official swimming standards. We recommend this method to help uncover issues related to spills, leaks, and run-off and their effects (testing before and after).

Each testkit contains:

• 5 x R-Card packs. In each one, you have:
  • 3 x R-Card E. coli test cards
  • 1 x 1ml syringe-style pipette
  • 2 x nitrile gloves
  • 1 x 4×6″ plastic sealable bag
  • 1 x field sheet
• 1 x cooler bag to keep samples cool in the summer (ice pack not included)
• Conductivity meter (temperature is integral, and conductivity is useful for context)
• 1 x sampling tray
• 1 x reacher stick and sample cup
• Field guide
• 1 x towel
• 3 x stickers
• 2 x badges
• 1 x tote bag
• 1 x magnet

We recommend buying additional E. coli replenishment packs.
