Comprehensive Water Test $169 159
About The Test
The Comprehensive Water Test was designed by Xperiential’s scientists for our customers who want a truly in depth picture of their water quality, covering major classes of contaminants such as bacterial contamination, agricultural runoff, inorganic contaminants and additives such as sulfates and fluoride, toxic and heavy metals, as well as an understanding of the general characteristics of their water: mineral content, pH, hardness, and so on.Is This The Right Test For Me?
Because the Comprehensive Water Test covers such a broad range of contaminants and characteristics, this certified laboratory test package is perfect both for those on well water and those on public water supplies, often referred to as “city water”. If you have never tested your water, have young children or anyone in your home with health issues, or it has been more than a year since you have tested your private well, then this is the test for you.

PFAS Standard Test $277
About The Test
Poly and perfluoroalkyl substances, PFAS, are a group of man-made organic chemicals commonly found in many everyday products, including nonstick cookware, clothing made to be waterproof, certain types of carpet, food wrappers, and stain repellent fabric protectors. Water sources may become contaminated with PFAS through these manufacturing activities, landfill leachate, or runoff from fire-fighting foams, posing risk to your drinking water. PFAS take a long time to break down in the environment and they can bio-accumulate (build up over time), leading to the nickname forever chemicals. Your water sample will be analyzed using state of the art liquid chromatography – dual mass spectroscopy methods (LC-MS/MS) for the utmost in precision and accuracy.Is This The Right Test For Me?
The PFAS Standard Test covers the 14 major PFAS chemicals, including PFOA and PFOS, common analytes of concern uncovered in recent news reports from around the country. Please note that the nature of this particular test requires a 10 business day turn around time.

Iron Reducing Bacteria Test $29
About The Test
Iron reducing bacteria are naturally present in the environment and feed on iron. They often find their way into wells and groundwater sources when new wells are drilled. This test assesses your well water for this commonly found bacteria. The Iron Reducing Bacteria Test may only be ordered as an add-on to our other Xpress Water Testing®.Is This Test Right For Me?
Iron reducing bacteria are a common cause of issues such as yellow water or metallic taste. If you have noticed that your water has turned yellow or if you have a slimy film on the surface of your plumbing, then it may be due to iron reducing bacteria. Please note that the nature of this particular test requires a 9 business day turn around time.
Sulfate Reducing Bacteria Test $29
About The Test
Sulfate reducing bacteria may be found in groundwater, wells, or plumbing systems, including water heaters. Sulfur bacteria can produce a slime that may clog plumbing, wells, and your irrigation system. This test assesses your well water for sulfate reducing bacteria. The Sulfate Reducing Bacteria Test may only be ordered as an add-on to our other Xpress Water Testing®.Is This Test Right For Me?
If you are experiencing white, grey, black, or reddish-brown slime buildup in your plumbing system, it may be due to sulfate reducing bacteria. Sulfate reducing bacteria can also cause corrosion of your plumbing and may be found in conjunction with a rotten egg smell and hydrogen sulfide gas. This test is often ordered along with our Hydrogen Sulfide Test Strip. Please note that the nature of this particular test requires an 8 business day turn around time.
Chlorine Test Strip $2.50
About The Test
Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant for drinking water, particularly for those on a public water supply or city water. Because chlorine dissipates quickly, it is not appropriate for laboratory based testing and our scientists recommend testing both free and total chlorine on site. To provide accurate results, this is a single-use, at home test strip you can use to measure free and total chlorine levels right at your tap. Our scientists have reviewed the performance of these test strips in our laboratory so you can be confident in their quality. Chlorine Test Strips may only be ordered as an add-on to our other Xpress Water Testing®.Is This Test Right For Me?
Testing for chlorine is important not only for sanitation reasons but is of growing interest as reports of health issues related to high or long-term exposure to chlorinated drinking water become more common.
Hydrogen Sulfide Test Strip $2.50
About The Test
Hydrogen sulfide gas can be naturally occurring, such as a result of decay and reactions with soil and rocks, produced by bacteria, or, less commonly, from pollution. It typically produces a classic rotten egg or sulfur smell. Because hydrogen sulfide gas dissipates quickly, it is not appropriate for laboratory based testing and our scientists recommend testing be performed on site. To provide accurate results, this is a single-use, at home test strip you can use to measure hydrogen sulfide levels right at your tap. Our scientists have reviewed the performance of these test strips in our laboratory so you can be confident in their quality. Hydrogen Sulfide Test Strips may only be ordered as an add-on to our other Xpress Water Testing®.Is This Test Right For Me?
If you are experiencing a rotten egg or sulfur smell to your water, or have black stains on your silverware or plumbing fixtures, then it may be due to hydrogen sulfide gas. It can also lead to corrosion of the metal parts of your plumbing system and, in addition to the unpleasant smell, hydrogen sulfide gas that builds up in the air in such areas as well pits or well houses can be harmful. Related sulfur bacteria can produce a slime that may clog plumbing, wells, and your irrigation system so this test is often ordered along with our Sulfate Reducing Bacteria Test.
Tannin/Lignin and Iron Test $59
About The Test
Tannins and lignin are organic compounds that come from the breakdown of vegetation. They can cause discoloration of your water, staining of plumbing fixtures and laundry, and affect the overall quality of your drinking water. Our scientists include testing for iron levels with this package because the presence of iron in your water can cause misleading tannin and lignin test results if not analyzed and reviewed together; this gives you the additional confidence in your results of scientist testing at our certified laboratory. The Tannin/Lignin and Iron Test may only be ordered as an add-on to our other Xpress Water Testing®.Is This Test Right For Me?
If you are experiencing yellow water or a musty or tart taste or smell to your water, then it may be due to tannins or lignin. These compounds can also lead to yellow staining of laundry, plumbing fixtures, or dishes. The Tannin/Lignin and Iron Test is especially popular with our professional customers and those on well water.What kind of water you want tested.
