Advanced Bottled Water Test
Couldn't load pickup availability
Recommended for assessing the quality of a non-carbonated bottled water sample.
Although it depends on the company, bottled water is not always inherently safer than tap water and there are numerous other drawbacks, including cost and sustainability. Bottled water is tested for bacteria and many synthetic organic chemicals far less frequently than tap water.
This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed analysis of common bottled water health concerns related to natural water chemistry and associated risks from storage containers (ie. plastic bottles)–such as heavy metals, minerals, hardness, and volatile organic compounds (related to plastic leaching).

About the Advanced Bottled Water Test:
This is the right test for you if:
- Looking to test packaged, bottled water for safety and quality.
- Bottled water that tastes of chemicals, plastic, metallic, bitter or musty.
- Water smells or tastes like plastic, chemicals, or fruity.

You'll get everything you need to collect your drinking water sample, including easy-to-follow instructions.
2. Ship
Shipping is free, so getting your sample to the lab won't cost you a thing.
3. Test
We route your sample to an independent, certified lab in our network that's best equipped to analyze your water.
4. Report
Once the lab analysis is complete you'll get an interactive digital report that explains your results and what to do next.
