Bacto H2S Strip Kit
First Water supplies water quality testing kits which detect hydrogen sulphide generated by bacteria. This cheap and simple method has been shown to be a reliable indicator of faecal contamination of water. H2S kits are particularly useful where laboratory facilities do not exist and have been recommended as a tool for community monitoring of water supply and for health education purposes.

A comprehensive evaluation of the method was prepared for the World Health Organisation and can be downloaded here.

First Water H2S kits are available with test media in powder or paper form. Full instructions can be supplied and will be posted on this site in the near future.*
