WaterSafe® Lead Test Kit

Drinking Water Test
for Lead

Lead from pipes can leach into household water used for drinking, cooking and washing.

Many homes and buildings have pipes and plumbing fixtures tha contain lead. Lead can leach from pipes into household water, making this plumbing a major source of water contamination and a potential source of toxic lead poisoning. Lead is so toxic that even very low levels may be dangerous.

Lead consumption and poisoning has been linked to many serious illnesses, especially in young children. Lead can harm mental and physical development and may cause brain abnormalities, kidney damage and hypertension. As with other water contaminants, the risk of lead damage is much greater for children than for adults - families should be particularly concerned about the health of the water supply.

Lead accumulates in the body. Chronic exposure to low levels of lead can result in learning disabilities, muscle and bone disorders and kidney damage in children under six. In the U.S., about 900,000 children aged one to five years old have a blood lead level exceeding the level of concern.

Consumers should test lead levels at each faucet in the home, especially if the plumbing fixtures could be from the 1980's or older.

The WaterSafe® Lead in Water Test Kit is safe and easy to use and provides reliable results in 10 minutes. The WaterSafe® Lead Test can detect dissolved lead at levels below the EPA Action level of 15 ppb. Single test included in test kit.
