Testing for hydrogen sulfide at home

Testing for H2S: Unlike most other chemical and biological tests included in this testing package, the H2S (hydrogen sulfide) test is best conducted by you at the tap. Your package will include an H2S test strip and instructions for entering those results online on your Report Dashboard.

When testing is complete, you will receive a Tap Score Water Quality Report including a comprehensive analysis of all test results, health impacts, treatment options, and household water appliance risks. If all you want is the raw result data, we can do that too. This mini-tour highlights some of what makes Tap Score unique.

Executive summary

Understand the meaning of your results in one quick glance. Can you rest easy or is there something to be concerned about?

Health analysis

The report summarizes the most trustworthy research available on the potential health effects of each contaminant detected.

What's that smell?

The potential sources of any strange tastes, colors, or smells in your water are also analyzed.

What to do next

If you need it, our legendary treatment support team makes unbiased recommendations for the products that can treat the contaminants found in your water. In this example, the test results showed high arsenic, lead, and sodium from a salt-based softener.

Pipes and plumbing

Whether or not something is in your water that can affect your health, we let you know if your pipes and appliances are also in the clear.

This package is designed for customers who:

• Are served by a private or shared well.
• Have a septic tank near the well or other source of potential bacterial contamination
• Are concerned about runoff from agricultural activity.
• Have young children or other vulnerable individuals in their home.
• Are treating their own well water.
• Are concerned about contamination from oil and gas operations.
• Want to test for radiation related to a variety of sources.
• Are concerned about pesticides.
• Want to check silica and tannins levels to optimize treatment.
