The Quick FHA/VA testing package is designed for FHA/VA required testing when there are no specific local or state testing requirements. You should always check with your local health department prior to testing. The Quick FHA/VA is based on a minimum test package for drinking water contaminants included in the EPA Primary and Secondary Drinking Water Regulations.
This kit requires Next Day return shipping. Return shipping not included.

Customer Questions
How do I know which test to buy?
The type of analysis you choose should be based upon your specific concerns, your water source and what contaminates may potentially be in the water. If you are on a city water supply, you may want to test for the by-products of disinfection and heavy metals as they are likely to be in the water. If you are on a private well it is important to test for bacteria as that is a common contaminant, as well as naturally occurring contaminants such as arsenic, radon, barium, iron and manganese.
How often should I test my water?
Water quality can vary greatly based upon natural fluctuations in the water source and the types of treatment techniques utilized by the water department. If you are on a private well, there are no regulations which require regular testing of the water, so you are responsible for ensuring the water is safe to drink. The EPA recommends minimally testing your water at least once a year for bacteria and nitrates.
When do I get the results?
This Quick Series test package is designed to be reported within three days after receipt at the laboratory. While this is considered an estimate due to factors such as laboratory volume, instrument availability, and other resource limitations, we strive to meet this target.
