Well I bought a copper test kit to check for copper in my water ... and there is none. it is good for 70 tests...I did 2 so ... if anyone ever needs to do a test for copper ... well I have a test kit...

Sheesh, I don't know what to say. I was hoping you'd have your smoking gun ... mind you on the other hand it's probably good that this is a variable that is now eliminated.

Copper test kits are sometimes geared to only pick up certain types of copper, chelated vs nonchelated, I think??

Em, you are correct....

Emily the kit I have does both chelated and regular tests for copper. In the chelated case you have to wait much longer before adding the indicator.

Now a question, would one have to add chelated copper? I'm thinking it would not occur naturally.
