Drinking Water Test: Level 2 + Bacteria

Expanded drinking water quality testing for one (1) sample in a home, building, or facility served by a municipal water utility supply or well. Analyzes for common drinking water health concerns–including heavy metals, common bacteria, nitrates, and general chemistry–as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can result from chlorine disinfection or nearby agricultural or industrial activity. This RKIN test package, in collaboration with SimpleLab, includes all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Testing includes: Heavy metals, minerals, general chemistry, silica, coliform and E. coli, trihalomethanes, disinfection byproducts, and volatile organic compounds. Report analysis includes: Health-risk assessment, potential plumbing and aesthetic issues (taste, odor, appearance), and comparison to any regulatory limits and/or public health guidelines.

If you require a specific method or MDL, please contact us before placing your order. Water Test Kits are available within the US only. How it works This mail-in laboratory testing package includes: sampling vial(s) sampling instructions prepaid return shipping label sample information card/chain of custody document shipping container Once the lab receives the sample, your personalized SimpleLab Report will arrive by email within 5 business days. Each testing package is intended for one sample from a single location unless otherwise specified. Informational testing By default, this broad-based chemical and biological water quality screening package is designed to provide you with general information about your water for personal use. Each report includes analysis for specific numerical concentration levels of each contaminant and details about the potential sources and health effects associated with each parameter. We are not medical doctors and SimpleLab does not provide medical advice. For medical concerns always consult your doctor. As an informational water quality test, this package is not meant for state or federal compliance water testing. If you or your organization requires compliance with State or Federal Law, or compliance with a particular regulatory requirement then you must contact the SimpleLab support team and we will use the appropriate certified laboratory facilities to ensure your compliance testing requirements are met.
