Selected User Reviews For Radon Gas Test Kit AccuStar Charcoal Short Term 48-96 Hour Test
I followed all the directions to the letter and ran a 48 hour short term test in perfect weather, 70 degrees and 50% humidity. My canister test results showed that they were blocked due to excessive weight gain, which means that the device suffered from high humidity, and I need to repeat the test. In the end, it was not possible to do anything else. Once the test was completed, I was instructed to send the canister to a different address from the one included with the prepaid shipping label, which resulted in an additional shipping charge, which I was supposed to cover. I feel I have been robbed of $25 plus the additional shipping charges I had to pay because this product is totally useless. It is not suggested that you purchase this product. The reason is that a short test testing device like this could and most likely will give you a false positive or negative reading because Radon levels fluctuate You can get the Airthings Wave to take long and continuous measurements if you are concerned about Radon and wish to reduce the likelihood of your death.
I bought one of these and a First Alert RD1 Radon test. I chose them because they are relatively cheap (compared to the cost of unneeded mitigation) and something that can be easily overlooked (aka redundancy). Although the price difference might seem significant, it can be explained by the fact that the AccuStar includes return shipping (the First Alert costs $10 for UPS shipping). Not to mention the AccuStar is a nice tin test kit while the First Alert is the cheapest plastic or paper piece. My form for sending off the two kits was mailed on Tuesday afternoon, and I got the AccuStar results on We are still waiting on First Alert, but you are getting what you pay for with these two.
According to the report emailed to me, I could not get a test result because I had left the test running for 96 hours and 7 minutes or 0 hours. We have 0012% too long a sentence. The thing that annoyed me quite a bit and I was in a bad mood for unrelated reasons made me upset. In any case, 7 minutes isn't going to make a difference since the test is already not particularly accurate. Therefore, I immediately replied to the email address of the lab with a one sentence rant telling them to go friend themselves and so forth. A moment I would not choose to remember. Exactly one hour later, I received a response offering to calculate the results for 96 hours without slipping in a passive aggressive dig at my After I awoke the next morning, I had my.
This is the result of A. Com ) on 8/1 via e-mail The company. 1) Turnaround times are very quick and are based on mail-out time (MA for Accustat, TX for First Aert)
I used AccuStar before for my parent's basement and was very satisfied. Aside from the container and the way the lid is sealed, I like the product. While waiting for tin to be exposed to the atmosphere during testing, you need to make sure the testing area is not ventilated since tin will be exposed to the air there during the 48-hour testing period. I can complete the process in 96 hours. It's very simple and straightforward. A recommendation from the Environmental Protection Agency 4 on the level scale. A recommended action from the World Health Organization (WHO) is in effect There is a Level 2 for this course. The concentration in each liter is 7pCi/L.
Amazon is where I bought the test canisters. It was easy to follow the instructions and I provided my response A 19-day period has passed since that happened. Neither the USPS nor my email results are ever delivered to me. My email was sent 4 days ago. I asked what was going on. I never received a response to my email. As I have tried several times to contact ACCUSTAR, it always leads to "The Voice Mail box is full. " So I spent the money, took the test, and ACCUSTAR did not respond to my questions or provide me with the The strangest thing ever.
It was purchased as a 2 pack so that I could test two As I explained in the paperwork, the first kit I used in this case was rejected by the lab because regular priority mail fell short of the deadline due to time constraints (read the fine print). With regard to the second sample, overnight mail worked well and an answer was received promptly. lab's report showed a tad higher concentration than the level obtained by the remediation contractor prior to their work, but it was not high enough to change the need for cleanup.
Very fast delivery. Did just what I wanted and got results fast. This was a better deal than the kit I bought from the big orange box store since shipping was already included. To ensure my letter was received properly, I dropped mine off at the post office. I'd like to give you some background information picked this particular brand because my mom needed a radon mitigation system, and this is the brand that my installer used to verify his work. My results came back quickly and the unit he used seemed to be of higher quality than the one I initially bought (metal canister with sealing tape instead of plastic containers). Here is what I have to say In my case, I received a unit that was different from what my I had the same kind, but it was one or two inches smaller than yours.
It was horrible to deal with the customer service. This was the first time I performed my own My test results on a home I had not officially bought would not be released to me. This project is being handled by the client (which is under Sorry to hear that. It took me calling my state's department of environmental protection agency to get in touch with.
