This RKIN test package in collaboration with SimpleLab. Basic water quality testing for one (1) drinking water sample in any home, building, or facility served by a municipal water utility supply or well. Analyzes for common drinking water health concerns–such as heavy metals, common bacteria, nitrates, and general chemistry. Ideal for those concerned about questionable plumbing or aging pipes and distribution lines. This RKIN test package, in collaboration with SimpleLab, includes all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Report analysis includes: Health-risk assessment, potential plumbing and aesthetic issues (taste, odor, appearance), and comparison to any regulatory limits and/or public health guidelines.

Each testing package is intended for one sample from a single location unless otherwise specified. Informational testing By default, this broad-based chemical and biological water quality screening package is designed to provide you with general information about your water for personal use. Each report includes analysis for specific numerical concentration levels of each contaminant and details about the potential sources and health effects associated with each parameter. We are not medical doctors and SimpleLab does not provide medical advice. For medical concerns always consult your doctor. As an informational water quality test, this package is not meant for state or federal compliance water testing. If you or your organization requires compliance with State or Federal Law, or compliance with a particular regulatory requirement then you must contact the SimpleLab support team and we will use the appropriate certified laboratory facilities to ensure your compliance testing requirements are met.
