Our Top Water Testing Kits

We offer a range of tap water testing kits  to suit your needs. Our testing kits are easy to use, with detailed instructions and results available within a few days in most cases. We also offer a water hardness test as part of all packages, which will help you determine if your tap water is too hard or soft for the intended use. So if you’re looking for an accurate and reliable way to test your tap water, look no further than Aquavue! Thanks for choosing us!

Unless mentioned otherwise, all our tests are certified in a UKAS approved lab (or ISO equivalent if based in Europe) and independently tested. As ground and surface water can also be easily contaminated by other chemicals such as PFAS or volatile organic compounds, you can also add these other packages to the below tap water tests.

Need some extra help?

This can all be confusing, so if you need any help from our scientists, get in touch with us and we'd be happy to assist you with ordering the right water test for your needs.

This depends entirely on how many contaminants you would like to test for, and this will depend on the area you live in. Do you live in a new or old house? Do you live near a military base or in a more rural area? Contact us for assistance in choosing the best kit for you.

Once you place the order online, we ship the testing kit to your address. You then fill the bottle with water, place it in the water-tight bag, and ship it to one of our UKAS approved labs around the country. The report will then be delivered to you within 5-7 working days.

Once we receive the report from the lab, we will review the results and customize the report producing recommendations backed by our scientists. All of our recommendations are independent and we are in no way partnered with any of the filtration companies we may recommend.

Once you place the order, we will ship the package to you within 1-2 business days. You can then ship the item to the lab and should be delivered the next day. We will then send you the report within 5 calendar days.
