Premium City Water Test

$239.00

Your city tests water before it leaves the treatment plant, not after it travels through miles of pipes to reach your kitchen sink. That gap is where most tap water problems start.

The Premium City Water Test screens 108 substances in one kit, including lead, arsenic, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals. Homes built before 1986 carry extra risk from lead service lines and solder that can leach into water long after it leaves a clean treatment plant.

Want to scale up or down? Compare our Basic City Water Test against the Ultimate City Water Test, or add our PFAS “Forever Chemical” Test for 18 more compounds.

Every test we run includes free expert consultation to go over your results, free shipping both ways, and a money-back guarantee.

What’s Inside Your Testing Kit?

Sampling Instructions

Every test comes with step-by-step instructions on how to prepare your water source, collect your water sample, and prepare your sample for return shipment to our lab.

Collection Bottles

Pre-labeled, sterile collection bottles sized correctly for each test. Just fill from your tap or well following the included instructions.

Sample Information Form

A short form to fill out with basic information about your water source. This helps our lab technicians process your results accurately.

Prepaid Shipping Label

A pre-paid return shipping label is included — just drop the sealed package in any mailbox or hand it to your mail carrier. No extra cost.

How It Works

01

Collect a Water Sample

We’ll mail you a kit that includes everything you’ll need to collect a water sample and mail it back to us.

02

Get Your Results

After the test is completed, we’ll email you an in-depth technical report with a full breakdown of your results.

03

Free, Expert Follow-up Consultation

We offer complimentary follow-up phone calls with our experts—and you’re always welcome to email us with questions anytime.

Who It's For

This test fits renters and homeowners alike, since testing your tap does not require any changes to your plumbing or fixtures. It also works well for new parents who want a baseline before mixing formula or filling a humidifier with tap water.

If your neighborhood has had a boil water notice, a water main break, or noticeable discoloration in the past year, this panel is worth running now rather than waiting. Our Well & City Water Testing FAQ covers more scenarios specific to municipal supply.

Not sure what a specific result means? Our contaminant glossary explains each substance in plain language. Buying a home on city water? Our real estate water testing service covers exactly that situation.
