User questions & answers

Question:	Under my sink smells like mold, but i don't see anything... can your product , mold test kit, detect mold even if you don't see where it is
Answer:	It will grow mold if there's mold, but if you want to know what kind of mold, you have to send it away. For example, when I followed the directions and placed mine out in open, a little bit of mold started growing. We then knew there were mold spores in the area and it was slow growing mold, based of length of time and amount of mold present in petrie dish. If you want to know if it's the dangerous kind, etc., then you would have to send away. Hope that helps.
Question:	Why does it state results in 48 hours if have to mailed to be tested
Answer:	Yes! I did 5 kits (outdoors, two bathrooms, garage, under the kitchen sink). Two of the tests (the well-ventilated bathroom and the kitchen sink) had no mold after 96 hours. The other three had mold of different amounts/types.
Question:	hi Does this need to be sent away for $40 to determine mold
Answer:	No this product is not lead free. It cannot be connected up to or used with potable water
Question:	Has anyone used this kit and NOT have a positive test for mold
Answer:	I think constant flow means no trigger to pull. Twist on and off to adjust spray. It's a great nozzle

User questions & answers

Question:	How much does it costs to send in your test
Answer:	Yes. I would. I took two samples. I did one air sample that showed nothing and I did one swab sample that filledThe Petri dish with multiple types of mold.
Question:	I was getting ready to mail my test sample and noticed water in my dish. Is this the solution melting after 4 days can I still mail it? Its dripping
Answer:	Straight from the back of the package: " offers 4 easy sampling methods. The first two air sampling methods can indicate the presence of a hidden or an elevated mold problem in as little as 48 hours. If mold growth occurs after the air sample is taken, an OPTIONAL LAB ANALYSIS ( $40) is available which identifies the type ( Genus name) of mold present. If you see mold growing in your home or office, the third or fourth method allows you to take a sample and send it to our laboratory for analysis to determine the type of mold present. A minimum of 2 test kits are required for air sampling in order to compare indoor to outdoor air quality. Hope that helps answer your questions.
Question:	Should I buy two of these if I know I'm going to be sending it in for further analysis
Answer:	It takes one hour to collect a sample.
Question:	what does the lab results look like? Do the test for all types of mold? Do they tell you how harmful the mold is
Answer:	I cannot speak to rodents in ducts - that is a serious problem unrelated to mold. The mold test worked well. We were able to isolate one area in the house that had a significant mold problem that was corrected by repeated floor washings and replacing an older mattress.

Question:	I smell mildew in a section of my cabinets. I’ve inspected inside the cabinet but don’t see anything. How would this work for air sample
Answer:	Probably no difference. There isn't any thing fancy about a driver bit or an entire set. If it all looks the same, then it's probably made in the same factory with a different name put on the box.
Question:	Do you have to pay for the lab analysis? Is there any other fees associated with this test kit
Answer:	You will hate these . Do yourself a favor and skip these. I used this set and they stripped out within 5 screws .

User questions & answers

Question:	How many different rooms, areas can be tested with 1 kit
Answer:	It test for the 2 worst kinds which are labeled on the testers themselves. The kit also comes with additional swabs that can be mailed in if you want a more detailed report. But the 2 square testers are labeled so at least you'll know right away if you have either or both of the bad stuff
Question:	Do you have to visually see something suspicious? I just smell a mildewy smell
Answer:	I would use the IAQ Pro 5 - Min. Home test for 2 reasons. 1st. You will know the truth about the mold , do you have it or not. 2nd. If the IAQ
Question:	How does it work? If you get a pos do you mail it in to find out how much mold and what types? Thanks
Answer:	$40
Question:	My mother has COPD. How can I test mold myself? WE rent our duplex. Should I trust the landlord to it
Answer:	No, neither of mine (study one & control one) ever had water in them. Since the testing cost way more than the actual Petri Dish itself I suggest you purchase another Petri Dish and repeat the study.

User questions & answers

Question:	I see there are air holes in the back, so if it is placed against a surface, won't it impede the airflow into the detector
Answer:	According to the company's website, the unit should be placed on its back (display facing upwards), on a flat surface, at breathing-level height, and away from windows, doors, air vents, etc. See https://support.airthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003370189-How-do-I-place-my-Home-radon-detector-to-obtain-correct-measurements- Or as their FAQ answer states: "You can just lay it flat on a table or a shelf. The air flows into the Radon chamber as usual." https://support.airthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001097069-Can-I-just-lay-the-unit-flat-on-its-back-side-
Question:	what is the shortest amount of time you can do a test with this device? a home inspection last only a few hours..will it have to be left over night
Answer:	Professional testers need to be used for a 48 hour test. For this home unit, it should run at least a week to be somewhat accurate. A month would be better. It will have a 20% deviation for a 48 hour test. 7 day test should be around 10% deviation and 2 months around 5%. Right now, mine has about a 30% deviation compared against professional 48 hour testers. I'm contacting support now for help. I've owned it for about 6 months.
Question:	Are we positive the readings are accurate? I have now tested the first floor of the house and am getting a reading of 7.5 pCi/l
Answer:	We have two older (15+ years) Safety Siren meters that read 2.3 & 2.4 for both long and short readings and seem stuck even after a reset/retest in our radon mitigated basement. The new Airthings 223 started a little over 2.0 and slowly dropped to 1.8. Yesterday I resealed the sump pit covers to the floor and the Airthings 223 1-day average already (
Question:	how often does the tester need to be calibrated and how much does it cost to calibrate
Answer:	My answer has nothing to do with radon concentration in the tested environment, but incorrect terminology being used on this discussion thread. Resetting the radon sensing instrumentation means system initialization to factory calibration, as the unit is not user calibrate able. Calibration implied by this question is to a standard, and it must have been done with the prototype designs when tested against known radon concentrations in chambers...using perhaps master instrumentation. I think this device can give you values within some level of confidence like 95%...but the measure value of any unit like this is not to be taken with 100% confidence.

Question:	Does this test show results for Histoplasma capsulatum
Answer:	Hello, those molds should be able to grow on the petri dishes that come with the kit. But because many different molds can have a similar appearance, the only way to definitively identify them is if you order the optional lab test. Thanks.

Product description

If you suspect that you have mold in your home, but can’t find the source of the contamination, then this is the smartest most economical mold test kit offered in home mold testing and detection. This mold test and retest kit is designed to help you find the location of a source of hidden mold contamination in your home or office. This is a search kit. This type of kit does not identify the molds, it guides you to the mold source by showing what’s in the air in each room. This whole house kit contains 10 tests designed to test many rooms or test and retest several suspect rooms. The vibrant visual mold colors and numbers of mold collected will allow you to compare and find the room with the most likely source of the mold contamination. The kit also contains a thoughtful-helpful mold investigation guide and a mold clean up guide. Each of the ten mold test films will support all the typical molds found growing on water-damaged wet building materials such as wood, sheetrock, insulation paper, glues and paints, etc. These molds include the black “toxic mold” Stachybotrys, and various Penicillium and Aspergillus and Cladosporum molds and other wet indicator mold species, which can cause illness. You simply open the film in each location and allow the air to settle on it for one hour. Add a drop of activating liquid and let it grow. The test develops each mold captured, in full color, at home for less than $4.99 per mold test. There are no lab fees with this kit. Other, one shot, mail-it-in lab test kits which offer to test a single air mold sample for $30-$40 are ineffective because they don’t help you pinpoint the location of the highest mold count, which is the likeliest location of the moisture problem, damage and mold growth in your home or office. Once you locate the mold source, if you choose, you can purchase a DIY mold identification kit or send a swab or tape to a mold identification testing laboratory, suggested in the kit insert.

• A kit with multiple mold tests to locate and pinpoint the source of the mold. Conduct a simple visual comparison of all areas to find which has the most mold to doscover the real mold source without calling a contractor
• No Lab Fee. This is a search-to-find-it mold investigation kit, not a mold identification kit
• At $45.95 per kit of 10 tests, yields the most economical mold test kit at $4.99/test
• Bright, easy to read comparisons of mold tests by color contrast and quantities per room
• A superior test kit that allows you to test and retest until you find the mold source

Question:	How can you determine what type of mold you have in your house
Answer:	I think 99% of amazon products are made in China. The price is a dead giveaway
Question:	We need to determine if the number of mold spores is increasing over a period of 2 years. Are the test films reliable when they are 2 years old
Answer:	no but pretty hard and last
Question:	Since there are always mold spores in our environment does the test determine if there is minimal or serious mold
Answer:	It does - but any bit set will work in that regard as the shank is just standard 1/4 hex shaft that can be chucked into anything big enough to accept 1/4" diameter drill bits.

By checking suspicious water stains with a moisture tester around the house, you can determine whether the area is wet (a perfect breeding ground for mold) or has long since dried. This water leak detector also is helpful for new home inspections and home restorations, locating roof leaks or simply to ensure firewood is ready to burn. It also ensures the appropriate level of surface dryness before painting, sealing or treating wood or drywall. The moisture meter is easy to use: simply stick the stainless steel pins into the surface of what you are measuring in order to get a read-out. Overall measurement range of 5 to 50% for wood and 1.5 to 33% for building materials. The backlit, large, easy-to-read digits and clearly-designed LED alerts tell you immediately if the moisture content is high, medium or low. Plus, the moisture meter has audible high, medium, low alerts so you will be able to hear the level even if you are in a dark or awkward space where you can’t see the screen. The sturdy, ergonomic shape and rubber side grips allow for comfort even when using for multiple measurements. Every moisture meter also feature a hold function to freeze a reading to read later, auto power off and a low battery indicator. Every package includes extra 0.3 in. (8mm) stainless steel pins, a protective cap that doubles as a calibration checker and a “9V” battery.

User questions & answers

Question:	made in USA
Answer:	Nathan, Thanks for the question. The Moisture Range on this Hand Held meter for CORN is 10 - 40%. However, the clear plastic funnel which is provided to assist with consistent filling of the test cell, will not work well on corn over say 25 - 30%. This is due to the lack of flowability in the higher moisture content. I would suggest that you still fill the funnel, but pour the sample back out the large end at just 1 - 2" above the test cell. EVERY TIME and at the same Rate. With this consistency, you would have much greater repeatability between different tests. I would also suggest using the feature to average three readings to allow for some fill variation. Hope that this has help with the operation of the meter. Tom Runyon Seedburo Equipment Co.
Question:	I have a wooden floor that is swelling little bit. I know I had a small water leak. Can this tool help me to check if there is moisture underneath
Answer:	Not on the standard instrument, but YES, Long Grain and Medium Grain Rough Rice have recently been added to the available Calibration list. These would need to be substituted on the list, for example, Oats and Milo could come off and we add in the Long Grain & Medium Grain Rough Rice. Just let us know at the time you place your order and we will make this substitution free of charge. Seedburo Equipment Co.
Question:	Can I use this product to rule out a plumbing leak under my concrete bathroom floor. The outer bathroom wall is concrete & paint is bubbling
Answer:	Es el mismo equipo, la unica diferencia es que el GACMINI2500 es mas preciso.
Question:	accuracy
Answer:	Thank you for your question. No, the GACMINI testers do not test frozen grains, only the GAC2500UGMA or GAC2500AGRI have the capability of reading this much lower temperature and compensating for this in the calibration. You can view a list of the available calibrations for the MINI testers at the following website: http://cal.dickey-john.com/calibrations.aspx Please let us know if you have any other questions - Kathy at Seedburo Equipment Company

User questions & answers

Question:	We have a weird smell in our home, do you think this test would be worth Tim to see if it’s a mold
Answer:	Dear customer, the box is 9.05 x 1.59 x 11.61 inch when closed for your reference. The open dimension depend on how you open it.
Question:	Does it detect radon
Answer:	Thank you for your question. In this CCSTV208 Bit set, the T20 and T25 are different bits. There's no details yet if there will be 2 size in one bit. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.
Question:	Does this kit detect Lithium and Chromium in the air from Chemtrail planes
Answer:	These are 1/4" bits and are designed for 1/4" drive impact drivers and power screw drivers that take 1/4" bits. You can use them with a ratchet fitted with a 1/4" socket, but it would be somewhat awkward to use that way.
Question:	sure is a lot for one pop...if you could use it 10 times it might be worth it
Answer:	Hi there! Yes, you can use the red clip of CCSTV208 with a double ended Screwdriving bit. However, when you purchase is, bits are already included. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.
