Water testing

Water, read through a scientist.

Drinking water from the tap, a private well, or a softener line. Heavy metals, bacteria, contaminants the utility report doesn't cover.

What we look for

The full panel.

  • Heavy metals

    Lead, arsenic, copper, mercury, manganese. Trace-level detection.

  • Bacteria

    Total coliform + E. coli presence/absence screening.

  • Nitrate / nitrite

    Agricultural and septic-system markers — most relevant for private wells.

  • PFAS panel (optional)

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Add-on; state availability varies.

How it works

From kit to report.

  1. 01 · Pick the right kit

    City water, well, softener line, or post-filter — each has a different starting question. The kit details tell you which sampling vessel matches the source.

  2. 02 · Collect and ship

    Run the tap per the included instructions, fill the vessels, ship same-day. Most water panels have a 1–3 day hold time.

  3. 03 · Reviewed and reported

    Results return with context against EPA action levels and what the numbers mean for the household, not just whether they crossed a threshold.

A utility water report tells you what the city found at the source. It does not tell you what came out of your tap. That gap is where most surprises live.
