Lead and Copper Water Test

Recommended for targeted testing of lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in drinking water. Provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, quantified analysis of lead and copper. 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. 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. Included in every Tap Score Essential, Advanced, and Extended test in the City and Well water collections.
