Why test your own water?

EPA standards apply to public water systems. Private wells aren't regulated by the federal government, so testing is up to you. And even city water can pick up lead or copper from old pipes inside your home.

A test kit is a quick, affordable first check. It tells you when to look closer. A certified lab tells you exactly how much.
