Lead and Copper Water Test
Recommended for targeted testing of lead and copper in drinking water. 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.
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.
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, analysis of lead and copper by EPA method 200.8 (or equivalent).
Included in every Tap Score Essential, Advanced, and Extended test in the City and Well water collections.
Lead and Copper Water Test
Is this the right test for you?
What our scientists say:
“ Lead and copper are often found in drinking water in older buildings. They can enter water from distribution lines or on-premise plumbing. Lab testing is important, because these metals become dangerous at levels far below what test strips detect. "
This is the right test if you:
- Live in a home built before 1986 or an area served by old infrastructure.
- Have young children or other vulnerable individuals in your home.
