Lead and Copper Water Test
Recommended for targeted, high-precision testing of lead and copper in drinking water. Lead and copper are commonly found in drinking water in homes, business, or other facilities with aging pipes and fixtures. These metals may leach from distribution lines or other plumbing into the water supply even after it leaves a utility or from on-premise lead and copper pipes. Even in "safe" cities, changes in water chemistry can dissolve these metals from old pipes and deposit them in drinking water supplies.
This package also includes an on-site DIY test strip for pH measurement, as water pH can impact plumbing. Subsequently, pH serves as a crucial indicator of overall water quality and is particularly valuable to know when configuring water filtration and treatment solutions. Reported results will include detailed, analysis of lead and copper by EPA method 200.8 (or equivalent).
- All cold water faucets and fountains
- The cold water side of all single-handled and dual-handled faucets that dispense both hot and cold water
- Filtered water dispensers
- Water dispensed by refrigerators
Each test kit package will be suitable for collecting one sample at a single tap. To test multiple taps/faucets/fountains, requires multiple packages.
