Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Water Test

Recommended for targeted testing for dissolved sulfide. Dissolved sulfide is often used to measure hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas that dissolves in water and partitions into different sulfide species depending on the pH of the water. Hydrogen sulfide gas is one of the most common explanations for a rotten egg or sulfur smell in drinking water. While hydrogen sulfide does not typically present a health risk in domestic drinking supplies, it is a nuisance and can contribute to your water’s acidity—leaching potentially hazardous metals from plumbing and appliances. This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of hydrogen sulfide.  Note: Every Tap Score Essential, Advanced, and Extended test in the Well Water test collection includes an H2S self-test strip for on-site screening.
