The media in the vial is non-toxic and therefore poses no significant hazard provided directions for use are followed. DO NOT INGEST. Do not attempt to open the vials after test or dispose of content down your sink

If any E.Coli or other coliform bacteria are detected, the water either be boiled before use or not consumed until the issue is resolved. Further investigation of the system and disinfection of the water will be required.
