Recommended by SimpleLab™ for targeted testing for Pseudomonas aeruginosa in drinking and surface water. Pseudomonas bacteria are naturally present in the ground and within many well and surface drinking water sources. When present in the water supply, P. aeruginosa can form biofilms on surfaces of pipes and other fixtures–such as home water treatment devices using carbon filters or membranes. In high concentrations, Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria can cause problems with color, taste, odor and turbidity in drinking water–as well as present a potential dangerous health infection (particularly for those with already compromised immune systems).

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 Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Testing includes: Pseudomonas aeruginosa by SM 9221 (or equivalent). 

Report analysis includes: Health-risk assessment, potential plumbing and aesthetic issues (taste, odor, appearance), comparison to any regulatory limits and/or public health guidelines, and unbiased treatment recommendations.
