Description
Recommended for basic water quality testing in any home, building, or facility served by a water utility.
The Essential City Water package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a water sample for certified laboratory testing. The results will include a detailed analysis of common water health concerns and in particular, contamination from questionable plumbing and distribution lines.
This is the right test if you:
-
- Served by a water utility with known contamination issues.
- Live in a home built before 2010 or an area served by old infrastructure.
- Have young children or other vulnerable individuals in your home.
- Mainly concerned about metals and other inorganics.

How it works
What’s inside your testing kit?
Sample Collection Bottles
Your kit includes all the bottles, tubes or vials necessary to collect your water sample. For most kits, however, there is only one collection bottle needed.
Sample Information Card
Your kit includes a postcard/leaflet that asks for a few details about how and where you collected your sample (i.e. kitchen faucet). Just fill it out, drop it in the return box, and we’ll do the rest.
Shipping
Shipping is always on us. When your sample is ready for collection, let us know and we will send a courier to collect.
Return Container (If Applicable)
Some of our tests require your water sample to be cold when it reaches our labs. If this applies to your test, the proper refrigeration items will be included.
