Lab-certified results. Expert interpretation. A personalized treatment plan. The only well water test that tells you what is wrong and exactly what to do about it.Lab-certified results, expert interpretation, and a personalized treatment plan — for city water households that want data-backed clarity about their specific tap. Optional if you're ready to buy a filter, useful if you suspect an unusual issue.
Free shipping both ways · Results in 3–5 days · Full credit toward system purchase recommended by Certified Water Specialists
Most city water households can move straight to a filtration system
with confidence — utilities publish annual water quality reports, and
our city water systems are engineered for the contaminants common to
municipal supply. Consider this test if you suspect an unusual issue
(strange taste or smell, lead concerns from older service lines worries in your area.)
Your test doesn't end with a PDF. A real expert calls you, walks through every result, and tells you exactly what your water needs. No charge. No sales pitch. Just answers.
Order the lab test now. Buy the system your Specialist recommends, and the entire test fee comes back as a credit. You pay nothing for the test.
Amazon test strips give you a rough guess on 5–17 parameters. Our test combines certified lab analysis of 56 well water contaminants with an on-site testing kitOur test sends your sample to a certified laboratory that measures 113 city water contaminants — bacteria, heavy metals, nitrates, minerals, water quality indicators — with the precision you need before making a treatment decision worth $1,000 or more.
Other water tests send a report. We pair your lab data with a one-on-one call from a Certified Water Specialist who translates every number into plain language and recommends the specific system your water needs. You hang up knowing exactly what to do.
The bacteria behind black slime and rust stains die in the mail. The rotten-egg gas escapes a sealed bottle. Your kit adds a live bacteria culture and an H₂S test tube you run right at the tap — where the evidence still exists.
City water arrives treated — but the treatment itself leaves residuals behind. We measure chlorine, chloramines, trihalomethanes, haloacetic acids, lead from aging service lines, and dozens of other municipal-specific contaminants a standard consumer test won't flag.
Your full test fee applies toward any qualifying whole-house system from US Water Systems. Most people who test their well water end up buying treatment. When you do, the test was effectively free — and you bought with confidence instead of guessing.
Place your order and the test kit arrives at your door. Inside: collection containers, step-by-step instructions, and a prepaid return label. Nothing extra to buy.
Follow the guide, fill the containers, seal the box. No tools. No plumbing. Drop it in the mail with the prepaid label — return shipping is free.

Thousands of families tested first and bought right. Here is what that looks like.
"Moved from the city to 5 acres with a well. Had no idea what was in the water. Test came back showing high iron, moderate hardness, and trace bacteria. The Specialist called, explained everything, and recommended a softener plus UV. We installed it ourselves that weekend. Night and day. If we had guessed, we would have bought the wrong system."
"That sulfur smell was driving us crazy and I was genuinely worried about the kids. Lab showed elevated hydrogen sulfide and coliform bacteria. The Specialist laid out treatment options and helped us pick the right setup. No more smell. No more worry. Went from scared to confident in about a week."
"Bought two different Amazon test kits. One said iron was fine, the other said it was high. Fifty bucks and still no real answer. The US Water test gave me actual lab numbers, a Specialist who explained them, and a recommendation that solved my staining problem completely. Should have started here."

Because they are fundamentally different products. A cheap strip kit gives you a rough color-match reading on a handful of parameters. It cannot tell you whether your water is safe, and it cannot tell you which treatment system to buy. This test includes certified lab analysis of 56 well water contaminants, an on-site testing kit, and a one-on-one consultation with a Certified Water Specialist who builds your personalized treatment plan.This test includes certified lab analysis of 113 city water contaminants and a one-on-one consultation with a Certified Water Specialist who builds your personalized treatment plan. A strip kit is a screening tool. This is a diagnostic.
No. For city water, this test is optional — not a prerequisite. Your utility publishes an annual water quality report, and our whole-house city water systems are engineered for the contaminants common to municipal supply: chlorine, chloramines, disinfection byproducts, sediment, and with our RO options, PFAS and dissolved solids. If you're ready to buy a system, you don't need to wait on lab results to move forward. Order this test if you suspect something unusual — an off taste or smell, lead concerns from older service lines, a health-sensitive household, or if you simply want lab-verified certainty about what's coming out of your specific tap before investing.
Free dealer tests typically check 2–4 basic parameters — usually just hardness and iron — and exist to sell you a specific product. Our test covers 56 well water contaminants, combining certified lab analysis with an on-site testing kit.Our test covers 113 city water contaminants at a certified independent lab. The treatment recommendation comes from a Specialist reviewing your complete water chemistry, not a sales rep working from a dealership inventory.
Two common well water problems don't survive the mail — live bacteria die in transit, and rotten-egg gas escapes a sealed bottle. Your kit adds a bacteria culture and an H₂S test tube you run at the tap, where those problems still exist.
Your utility tests water at the treatment plant and at select points in the distribution system — not at your tap. A lot happens between the plant and your faucet: aging service lines can leach lead, disinfection byproducts form during transport, and many emerging contaminants aren't on the utility's required testing list. Our 113-contaminant panel tells you what's actually coming out of your tap today.
3–5 business days after the lab receives your sample. We ship your kit free and include a prepaid return label. Most customers have their complete results and treatment plan within about two weeks of ordering.
A Certified Water Specialist reviews your lab report, calls you, and walks through every finding in plain language. They recommend the specific treatment system your water needs. If you buy a system from US Water Systems, your full test fee applies as a credit toward your purchase.
Yes. The EPA recommends annual testing for bacteria, nitrates, and contaminants of local concern. Wells change over time — seasonal variation, nearby agricultural activity, aging well components. If you notice any change in taste, smell, color, or pressure, test immediately. Annual testing is standard responsible well ownership.
That is why expert interpretation is built in. You are never left alone with raw lab data. Your Certified Water Specialist explains every finding, answers every question, and tells you exactly what needs to happen next. Follow-up questions go to our US-based support team.
