So as a former environmental engineer one thing should be understood with any laboratory data. There is variability. When working a particularly complex site all of the samples would be split between two labs to insure confirmation for any future litigation. At times there would be differences that would be reconciled with further analysis. Your water well sample is a snapshot in time. If there is an out of range contaminant additional testing is required before developing a treatment system. I have found that the data provided by tapscore is reliable. While one does wish to be economical getting a second test for the monthly cost of your cable/internet service makes sense. We are after all talking about your drinking water.

Simple process, Comprehensive
Simple process. Prompt delivery of kit and updates as to timing on results (some test’s evaluation timelines are longer than others) and notification of when test results are published.
Website - ez-pz.
Comprehensive explanations of what the tests mean and possible solutions for issues.
Scores are measured against a multiple of standards, ie epa, CA.
Help line was awesome as I had screwed up a package mailing.

Peace of mind
We live in an old logging town in a rural area where most of the homes are old and the infrastructure isn’t great. Testing our water gave me a lot of peace of mind that our pipes aren’t leaching anything harmful. This test cost about the same as it would have cost me to test it through the county, but it was more comprehensive and more convenient (because I live somewhere rural I am an hour and a half from where I would have had to drop off my sample to the county, mailing it in was much simpler). Collecting the sample was simple and the results were returned within the advertised window. I will definitely use this service again when we move next.

Tapscore saved our lives
My family has used TapScore three times, and it literally saved our life. Here’s our story:
Three four years ago, we were living in Costa Rica, A place often referred to for its blue zones, and focus on eco-friendly approaches. Well, we drank the water. My wife started getting sick, and an intuitively thought to test the water. We flew back to the United States with the water sample and shipped it to tap the score. When we got aWell, we drank the water. My wife started getting sick, and a intuitively thought to test the water. We flew back to the United States with the water sample and shipped it to tap the score. When we got a results, we realize why my wife was ill. There were high amounts of pesticides and heavy metals in the water. This discovery definitely saved our lives, as we were both experiencing declining health with unusual symptoms. We’ve now planted ourselves in the mountains in northern New York, with a tap score of 99. We are drinking straight from the well and experiencing the health benefits. I applaud this company For their efforts to provide top-notch scientific analysis and educate us about what we are pouring into our bodies.
As human beings on this planet, and water being the most pivotal resource we have, I’m constantly surprised about how little attention is put on water quality.
Human beings seem to just accept blindly what they’re told by their water regulatory agencies around the planet. One of my favorite reoccurring experiences is when I visit a friend in another town or city, and 95% of the time they’re drinking the tapwater, claiming that it is one of the “best waters in the country”, with of course, no efficacious evidence to support their claims.
For those of you who are thinking, oh well, that’s another country that won’t happen to us here in the United States. Think again. I went to visit my aunt in kerrsville Texas this year, and her water was noticeably foul, straight from the tap, we tested it with tap score, and the results were worse than Costa Rica.
I was visiting my aunt at the time, because my uncle was in his last few days of his life, dying from bone cancer. Shockingly, one of the heavy metals found in her tapwater, contributes To the development of bone cancer.
As global citizens on this planet, no matter what country you reside, you need to demand that clean water is being provided to you and your homes. The starting place to determine whether or not you are receiving clean water is to scientifically analyze your water. Don’t trust what your water company or government is telling you. Test yourself. Then take action.

The service was efficient and timely
The service was efficient and timely. A little more expensive than expected. I didn't realise the quote was in USD.

Great customer service!
I ordered and received the kit quickly and even got results back a day sooner than they estimated! The results ratings and explanations were easy to understand and each line had information on what kind of water treatment system would take care of that particular item. Very helpful.
I also reached out for some clarification and Robin was quick to respond and gave detailed explaination and comparisons to help understand the results and options going forward.
Will be using them again in the future to monitor the quality of our water, especially after we put in a treatment system to make sure that system does what we need it to do.
