Drinking Water Test Kit
Protect the people in your home & buildings from impurities.
Contaminated Drinking Water is One of the Oldest Known Public Health Hazards
EMSL has created these informational drinking water packages which, in the absence of any specific local or state analytical requirements, are based upon the Federal Housing Authority’s (FHA) and Department of Veteran’s Affairs’ (VA) minimum panels for drinking water contaminants. These kits offer the necessary equipment to quickly and efficiently collect a drinking water sample within a clean, complete and professionally crafted package.
Regular users of a water supply can develop a tolerance for the contaminants present within their water supply, while infrequent users may become sick by drinking the same water. Contaminated drinking water can be a threat to anyone’s health, especially young children.
Your samples will be analyzed for the following drinking water contaminants:
- Total Coliform
- E. coli
- Lead
- Nitrate
- Nitrite
- Turbidity
- Iron
- Manganese
- pH
Ensure the Safety of Your Drinking Water Test for a wide range of contaminants to keep your water safe and clean.
