ETBE Water Test

1 Analyte Tested
See Full List

Recommended for targeted testing for ethyl-tert butyl ether (ETBE) in drinking water. ETBE is a common gasoline additive during the production of gasoline from crude oil. ETBE may enter the drinking water supply as a result of nearby oil and gas activity, gasoline spills, leakage from underground storage tanks, or improper gasoline disposal. This testing package is suggested for those particularly concerned with petroleum-related contamination, those noticing an oily sheen on water surfaces, or encountering a gasoline-like taste or smell in their 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, quantified analysis of ETBE.

After our certified labs receive and test your water sample, we will email your custom Tap Score Report, a simple digital tool that helps you understand exactly what’s in your water and what you can do about it.

Customer Kudos

"It was easy and gave us a lot of good details. We learned that we do not have arsenic in our well water. We also learned our water is super hard and the report actually said "do not water your plants with this water, it will kill them" I just thought I sucked at growing plants, it's nice to know its not me, it's the hard water."

AMAZON CUSTOMER

"This test is worth it. It is the same price or cheaper than any lab I've seen, but you just mail it in. The results were were extremely detailed and the online interface is very user-friendly and easy to understand."

AMAZON CUSTOMER

Simple interface and useful information make this a good value. I live in a 1956 airspace condo with good pipes but bad maintenance, so for everyone’s peace of mind I went ahead and got this done (and also previously ran basic asbestos tests on the plasterboard and ceiling popcorn. We’re all good here!

The testing done is superior to what we had done by a local company. This makes it an excellent value for those of us that are on our own wells. If you want a water test that is outstanding check these folks out.
