Metals and Minerals Water Test

Recommended for basic water quality testing for a broad array of metals and minerals in drinking water. Many naturally occurring metals (such as arsenic), as well as those related to on-premise plumbing issues (such as lead), may lead to negative health outcomes. Additionally, minerals may impact the physical properties of water like hardness, as well as have aesthetic impacts (such as imparting taste) in water. This testing package is ideal for retesting specific known concerns. This RKIN test package, in collaboration with SimpleLab, provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a water sample for certified laboratory testing. The results will include a detailed, quantified analysis of common metals and minerals, as well as calculated parameters such as hardness.

If you require a specific method or MDL, please contact us before placing your order. Report analysis includes: Health-risk assessment, potential plumbing and aesthetic issues (taste, odor, appearance), comparison to any regulatory limits and/or public health guidelines. If you are noticing yellow coloration of water or staining, a tannins test is also required. 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.
