Sick wife Everything with this company was easy to use and hopefully helpful. Going to order a new kit soon as I installed a Kind hole house water system. We had issues THMS 11.11ppb Bromo 2.5 ppb Chloroform 5.96 ppb Dibrom 2.64 ppb and of course Lead .0036 ppb With my wife being sick for years and testing for heavy metals including lead I hope this works!!

When I got my test results I was very… When I got my test results I was very surprised to see fluoride at over 5 ppm as we are on a well. After speaking with several local water experts it was even stranger as flouride is very uncommon in our area. The water was retested and showed flouride at 1.5ppm. So I'm not totally sure what to make of this but I have questions about the accuracy of my test results.

Easy test of critical info Easy to test, fast and thorough answers. I was surprised that the bathroom showed lead in the water but not the kitchen, of my NYC apartment building - however, on the 2nd test of the kitchen and this time with the recommended carbon block filter, the kitchen also showed lead in the water. In an old Bronx building, it is well known to have the problem so the question is: why didn't the lead show up initially?

"Simple Lab" - Makes Lab Results Simple to Understand I am the caretaker for a Class B water system in Washington state. We test our water every two years and the results are vitally important to nine households. In the past I have used a local lab. They are technically quite competent and reliable but the results are not very "user friendly." Compiling a report for dissemination to the water system members was tedious and time consuming. This year I had Simple Lab analyze our water and I could not be more pleased. From start to finish the process was "Simple" (pun intended) to use but with robust and multi-tiered informational support. The analyses required are chosen from a menu of options. The selections range from a single item to well-explained "packages." For me(us) the basic "Well Water" compilation was perfect. It was more complete and nearly half the cost compared to our previous lab. Simple Labs out-sources the actual analysis. They are partnered with a vast network of fully certified and accredited facilities across the U.S. and they unequivocally guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the results. Other reviewers have adequately detailed the smooth and easy logistics: - prompt delivery of well-packaged collection containers, - clear, concise directions, - mailing label and prepaid postage for return in the same container. It simply could not be easier. The presentation of results is where Simple Lab truly exceeded my expectations. Their Tap Score web site is beautifully crafted and exceptionally user-friendly. The basic information is clear, concise and easy to interpret. Simple Lab "flag" items that they feel warrant further explanation, but ALL of the results have links to additional information. A simple drop-down menu allows the application of different regulatory benchmarks (federal MCL, federal MCLG, etc.). In addition, there is easily accessible information on various water treatment options; how the assessment profile might effect "aesthetics" (odor and taste) and plumbing; and much more. The "depth" of the web site is truly impressive. All of this information is easily downloaded and can be shared with others via a secure link. The final element that adds sparkle to this five-star review is Robin, the customer service representative. I had a nerdy-type question concerning the size of the local well-water comparison group and sent off an e-mail with little expectation that it would actually be answered. I could not have been more wrong. Within minutes I received a response from Robin. She is an absolute delight -- efficient, personable, and tenaciously reliable. She explained that she needed to contact another department to answer my question and that might take some "persistence" but she WOULD get back to me within a week. Much to my surprise, that is precisely what occurred. Our brief e-mail exchange convinced me that Robin is the perfect person for the customer support role. If you have questions or needs they WILL be dealt with in a timely and pleasant manner. Those of you who routinely research products and services online are likely familiar with "Wirecutter" -- the N.Y. Times review arm -- which is how I discovered Simple Lab / Tap Score. I can't recall ever disagreeing with a Wirecutter recommendation and this is certainly no exception. Simple Lab is unequivocally a Five Star company.

was skeptical was skeptical, but the customer service was really good, the results website is very well laid out, and shipping back and forth was easy. tests results matched other water tests i had so it seems to be very accurate. I like that its not tied directly to any specific filter system sales pitch.
