How to Test Water for Toxins

About 75% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, but only about 0.7% of that is fresh water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and treatment professionals work to ensure that our drinking water is safe, but contaminants can still enter the water supply. The USEPA recommends that you test your water at least once a year. Regular testing is important if you are on an untreated well since the water quality is your responsibility.

The most common source of toxins in your drinking water comes from inside the pipes, connections and faucets in your home and office.

Home water quality test kits give you an easy, safe, and economical way to test for several of the most common contaminants found in your drinking water. The test strips in these kits are based on recognized test methods. Instructions are clear, no harsh chemicals are used, no expensive equipment is required, and results are easy to see. The included tables and color charts let you to record and compare your results to the USEPA recommended levels.
