Tap Water Test Kits

Tap Water Toxicants

Consistently rated the best overall tap water test for how comprehensive and easy to use it is, the Advanced City (or Well) Water Test kits from MyTapScore assess levels of 111 analytes common, including lead and 22 other heavy metals, benzene, xylene, styrene, vinyl chloride from PVC pipes, 46 types of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), water disinfection byproducts, E. coli, and more.

Tap Water Mold, Yeast, and Fungus

Mold can grow in water pipes if there is a nutrient source within them, such as biofilm or sediment. This is recommended if you are noticing a musty or moldy taste in your water, or if your water has been stagnant (vacation or part-time home, for example). Also recommended if your home has undergone mold remediation or you see a biofilm buildup on water fixtures.

Tap Water VOCs and Plastics

If your primary concern is plastics and VOCs, or your water has a funny chemical smell, this is the best test to consider. It tests for125 VOCs and plastic chemicals in your water, including vinyl chloride and styrene, that come from decaying plastic plumbing, tanks, and sealants.

Tap Water PFAS

This MyTapScore kit tests for 14 different PFAS. Because they are associated with hormone dysfunction, developmental issues, cancer, asthma, and other disease, the results help you make decisions about whether you need to install water filters and what type is best.
