SimpleLab Metals and Minerals Water Test Kit

SimpleLab Metals and Minerals Water Test Kit

Recommended by SimpleLab™ 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. Additional, minerals may impact physical properties of water like hardness, as well as have aesthetic impacts (such as imparting taste) in water.

This testing package is ideal for specific re-testing of known concerns. For a more complete assessment of water quality, we strongly recommend a more comprehensive City or Well water testing package.

This SimpleLab test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a water sample for certified laboratory testing. The results will include detailed, quantified analysis of common metals and minerals, as well as calculated parameters such as hardness.

Metals and Minerals Water Test Kit Key Features

Easy Sample Collection: This DIY kit includes everything you need to collect a water sample from your home. Simply follow the instructions, send your sample to a certified lab, and receive your results in a detailed report.

Comprehensive Detection of Metals and Minerals:

• Heavy Metals: Detects lead, arsenic, copper, iron, mercury, chromium, and more, which can leach from plumbing or enter your water through environmental pollution.
• Essential Minerals: Measures levels of calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and other naturally occurring minerals that influence water hardness and taste.
• Trace Elements: Analyzes the presence of lesser-known but potentially harmful elements like barium, manganese, and zinc.

Certified Lab Testing: Your water sample is analyzed by accredited labs using EPA-approved methods, ensuring highly accurate and reliable results.

In-Depth Report: The results report breaks down the concentrations of metals and minerals found in your water, explains any potential health risks, and compares your water quality to federal safety standards (such as EPA guidelines).
