Order the kit, collect a sample, mail it back with the prepaid label, and get certified results in about 5 business days. Then a real expert tells you what your numbers mean and exactly what to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Test for This\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour city's annual report describes water at the treatment plant, not at your tap, and it covers a limited set of regulated contaminants. This panel goes far deeper: 109 parameters including lead and copper from your own plumbing, a full 60-compound VOC scan, the trihalomethane disinfection byproducts formed by chlorination, a broad pesticide screen, and a 25-metal list, plus hardness, pH, fluoride, and core chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacteria is intentionally excluded because municipal water is disinfected and monitored, so it would only add cost. What is left is everything that can change between the plant and your faucet, or that the utility simply does not report, which is exactly what a homeowner wants to know.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho This Test Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou want the most thorough picture of your municipal tap water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou live in an older home (lead and copper plumbing risk)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour area has industrial history or disinfection-byproduct concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou are planning whole-house treatment and want a complete baseline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the Lab Measures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis test reports 109 parameter(s) for 109 contaminants using EPA 200.7\/200.8 (metals), 300.0 (inorganics), 524.2 (VOCs + disinfection byproducts), at a NELAC\/ELAP-accredited laboratory. Each contaminant compared against its EPA primary or secondary standard. No bacteria panel (municipal water is disinfected).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIndependent, Third-Party Lab Testing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe do not test your water ourselves, and that is the point. Your sample is sent to one of over 200 NELAC\/ELAP-accredited laboratories across the United States, the same independent labs used by state health departments. The result is impartial, then we help you act on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Fixes It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf treatment is needed, the typical solution is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/whole-house-carbon-filters\"\u003eWhole House Carbon Filters\u003c\/a\u003e.

After your independent lab results come back, Aidan (one of our owners, 30+ years in water treatment) personally reviews your numbers and tells you whether you need treatment, exactly what equipment and size, the correct installation order, and what maintenance to expect. If your water is within safe limits, he will tell you that too.
