How To Test Your Tap Water

One of our readers sent in a comment regarding the post on pharmaceuticals in the water. 

She was interested in finding a way to test the tap water in her house.
I have included the reply that I sent her below:

 As far as your questions are concerned:

I found the information for the post on one of the local T.V. news shows. An independent research firm tested the water in the L.A. basin for pharmaceuticals.

This is significant because the water company is not required to test for pharmaceuticals.

As far as your home drinking water is concerned:

There are two websites that may be of interest to you.

www.AquaMD.com

This site does affordable testing of your tap water by asking you a series of questions along with analyzing tests done by your local water company. They have a video which explains the whole process. It is quite interesting.

http://www.allaboutwater.org/

This site has all kinds of info regarding various types of filtration systems for your house, as well as useful information about bottled water.

Both sites are great resources.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Talk to you soon,
