Rapid and onsite detection of copper and lead in drinking water

Uncategorized

In this video we show the onsite, rapid detection of lead and copper in drinking water.

What You’ll See in This Video:

✅ Live sample preparation – I’ll test a water sample collected earlier from a tap on the top floor of a three-story house. ✅ Real-time analysis – Watch as the SenseItAll meter processes the sample in just 4 minutes, delivering instant results. ✅ Multi-location testing – Results from four different taps (ground floor, middle floor, and top floor) compared for lead and copper levels. ✅ Cost & efficiency benefits – Traditional lab testing can cost $200 per sample with lengthy admin, while SenseItAll offers rapid, low-cost testing (~$5 per test) with cloud-based data storage.

Key Findings:

Lead levels were below 5 ppb (parts per billion) in all tested taps.

Copper levels varied, with the highest reading at 667 ppb (0.667 ppm), still within regulatory safety limits.

Top-floor tap results: Lead – Low, Copper – 417 ppb (0.417 ppm).

Why This Matters:

Many assume their tap water is free from contaminants, but copper pipes and old infrastructure can introduce trace metals. SenseItAll makes it easy to: ✔ Test water on-site in minutes. ✔ Avoid lab delays & high costs. ✔ Store & share results instantly via the cloud.
