Arsenic Speciation Water Test Kit: Arsenite & Arsenate (Certified Lab)
Measure total arsenic and split it into arsenite (As III) and arsenate (As V), the speciation that decides the right removal system.

What makes step 4 different from every other water test
Other companies hand you a lab report and say good luck. We are a water treatment company that has solved well and city water problems for over 30 years. The testing is done by an independent, third-party certified lab so the data is unbiased. Then we tell you exactly how to fix what the lab found, and we have the equipment and expertise to back it up.
What This Test Measures
3
Arsenate, Arsenic, Arsenite.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring, invisible, tasteless contaminant found in bedrock wells across many regions. It is a known human carcinogen, and the EPA limit is just 10 parts per billion. Knowing the total number matters, but for arsenic, the form matters just as much.
Arsenic exists as arsenite (As III) and arsenate (As V). Arsenate is relatively easy to remove with adsorptive media; arsenite is poorly removed unless it is first oxidized to arsenate. A system designed without knowing the split can underperform badly. This speciation test reports total arsenic, arsenite, and arsenate from a certified lab, so the removal system is designed for your actual chemistry, including whether pre-oxidation is required.
Method: Total arsenic, arsenite (As III), and arsenate (As V) reported separately (field-preserved speciation)
Reference: EPA maximum contaminant level: 10 ppb (total arsenic), a known carcinogen.
What fixes it: Whole House Arsenic Filter
Adsorptive arsenic media sized to your level; speciation confirms whether pre-oxidation is needed.
When your independent lab report comes back, it goes to Aidan, one of our owners and a water treatment specialist with over 30 years of hands-on experience. Because the testing is done by a third-party lab, the data is impartial. He reads your numbers, knows what matters for arsenic (as iii / as v), and gives you a clear recommendation for your situation.
You Get a Clear, Specific Recommendation
→ Whether this contaminant needs treatment, and how urgently
→ The exact equipment and size for your home, if any is needed
→ The correct installation order alongside anything else you treat
→ Estimated cost and what maintenance to expect
If Your Water Tests Clean, We Tell You That
We would rather earn your trust by being honest than sell you equipment you do not need. If your result comes back within safe limits, Aidan will tell you exactly that. No upselling, no fear tactics.
"I had my water tested and sent Aidan the results. Within hours he told me exactly what I needed: an iron filter and a neutralizer. After watching his YouTube videos I already trusted him. The recommendation was spot on and the system works perfectly." ★★★★★
Amber G., Verified Buyer
"I did two water tests at home and got inconsistent results. Called Aidan and he walked me through everything. Explained what the numbers meant, which ones mattered, and put together the right package for my house. No pressure, just honest advice." ★★★★★
Jerry S., Verified Buyer
"Water treatment is confusing. There's so much hype out there. I sent my test results to Mid Atlantic Water and Aidan cut through all the noise. Told me exactly what I needed, no more, no less. Been running the system for months now and the water is perfect." ★★★★★
Chuck B., Verified Buyer
For Arsenic, the Form Decides the System. This Test Reveals Both.
Total arsenic plus arsenite (As III) and arsenate (As V) measured at an independent certified lab, with a personal removal-system design from a 30-year well water expert.
Arsenic is a naturally occurring, invisible, tasteless carcinogen found in bedrock wells across many regions, and the EPA limit is just 10 parts per billion. The total number matters, but for arsenic the form matters just as much: arsenate (As V) is readily removed by adsorptive media, while arsenite (As III) passes through unless it is oxidized first.
This speciation test reports total arsenic, arsenite, and arsenate separately from an independent, NELAC/ELAP-accredited lab. That split is what tells us whether a standard adsorptive system will work or whether pre-oxidation has to be built in, the difference between a system that brings arsenic below the limit and one that quietly fails.
Aidan reviews the full breakdown and designs the exact removal approach, sized to your level and household. For a confirmed carcinogen, this is the test that makes sure the system is right the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because the form of arsenic decides whether a removal system will actually work. Arsenate (As V) is readily captured by adsorptive media; arsenite (As III) slips through unless it is oxidized to arsenate first. If you build a system around the wrong assumption, it can fail to bring arsenic below the limit. Speciation tells us the exact split so the system is designed correctly the first time, which matters a great deal for a confirmed carcinogen.
The EPA maximum contaminant level is 10 parts per billion, and because arsenic is a known carcinogen there is no level considered beneficial. Many households choose to treat below 10 ppb. Your total number plus the As III / As V split determine both whether to treat and how.
Whole-house adsorptive media (often iron-based) is the standard for arsenate, with pre-oxidation added when arsenite is present. Reverse osmosis is effective at the point of use for drinking and cooking. The right design depends on your speciation result and whether you want whole-house or point-of-use protection.
Aidan reviews your total arsenic, arsenite, and arsenate numbers and designs the exact removal approach, including whether pre-oxidation is needed, sized to your level and household. This is precisely the kind of result where getting the system right the first time protects your family.

The Cost of Guessing Wrong
A focused lab test vs thousands in wrong equipment.
What happens when you skip the test
Without a lab number, you are guessing. We have seen it hundreds of times: a homeowner buys the wrong system, or the wrong size, because staining or smell or scale looked a certain way. Wrong equipment means wasted money, an unsolved problem, and an eventual second purchase.
A focused lab test tells you exactly what is in your water so you buy the right equipment the first time. It is not a cost. It is insurance against a much larger mistake.

Why DIY Test Strips Can't Compare
+
DIY test strips test a handful of parameters with color-changing pads you match against a chart. They cannot detect contaminants at the low levels that matter for health, and they miss critical analytes entirely.
Our test uses the same certified-lab method state and federal drinking-water programs use: Total arsenic, arsenite (As III), and arsenate (As V) reported separately (field-preserved speciation). The difference between a strip and a certified lab is the difference between guessing and knowing.
