Basic City Water Testing Kit – 32 Contaminants

EMPTY DOM REMOVE PROTECTOR
$195.00

Know exactly what's in your tap water. This professional lab test screens your city water for 32 contaminants — from lead and chlorine to disinfection byproducts — and delivers results measured against EPA drinking water standards.
Overview

Most city water goes through treatment before it reaches your tap — but treatment isn't the same as clean. Disinfection chemicals, aging pipes, and distribution byproducts can all affect what ends up in your glass. This test kit gives you a clear, lab-verified picture of what your water actually contains.

Developed by National Testing Laboratories — a NELAP-certified lab certified in 38 states and territories — this is an ideal starting point for any city water household. Collect your sample at home, ship it to the lab, and receive a detailed report comparing your results side-by-side with national EPA standards.
