The Dual Lead test checks for the presence of lead in your water and determines the lead content in a “first draw” sample and a “flush” sample. This test is helpful for concerns about the amount of lead that may be found in the water from the plumbing.
Lead is rarely found in source water, but usually enters tap water through corrosion of plumbing materials. Homes built prior to 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, fixtures and solder. New homes are also at risk, even though they may be "legally lead-free", plumbing may still contain up to 8 percent lead. The most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and fixtures which can leach significant amounts of lead into the water. Lead in water can be a serious health risk for babies and young children has been linked to delayed development in children.
The test kit contains all the materials needed to collect the water sample, including detailed instructions on how to collect your sample and where to return it. The sample does not require overnight shipping. Test results are typically completed and e-mailed within 5-7 business days from the date the sample is received at the laboratory.
NOTE: Orders over $99.00 qualify for free shipping within the continental U.S.
