Product Overview
The FHA/VA Basic and BasicPlus Drinking Water Test Kits provide you wiht the necessary equipment to quickly and efficiently collect a drinking water sample within a clean, complete, and professionally crafted package. EMSL has created this informational drinking water package which, in the absence of any specific local or state analytical requirements, is based upon FHA & VA minimum tests for drinking water contaminants.
BASIC KIT includes testing for Total Coliform, E. coli, Lead, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Turbidity
BASIC PLUS KIT includes testing for Total Coliform, E. coli, Lead, Nitrate, Nitrite, and Turbidity PLUS Iron, Manganese, and pH.
The corresponding informational water quality testing report will be issued within two or three days of sample receipt (for those who choose the pre-pay option), and will compare your sample results to national standards that are defined within the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations. Federal public health goals as well as state, county, municipal, and local health department regulations may recommend stricter standards for the same target contaminants. Therefore, these test results are intended to be used for informational purposes only and are not intended to be used for state or regulatory compliance. Should you require laboratory state certification or licensing, please contact EMSL prior to placing your order so that we can confirm the specific certifications and/or licenses required.
One drinking water test kit represents a single drinking water outlet. If you require testing of multiple drinking water outlets, you will need to purchase one water test kit for each outlet to be tested. These kits shall not be redistributed to third parties.
