Should I test for PFAS?
Our Core Kits focus first on the most well-established and high-priority contaminants—those backed by decades of research. You can add a PFAS kit to your order if you have reason to believe it's present in your water.
Looking for the most exhaustive test panel available? This is the kit for you—no other test screens for more. While our core kits over what most households need, this kit is for those who want to leave no stone unturned in their water analysis.
