What is in this panel?
These three tests answer different questions about your water. Lead can enter water through plumbing corrosion; nitrate and nitrite can reach groundwater from sources such as fertilizer and waste. Testing measures the collected sample.
02
Nitrate
Measures nitrate in the sample, a common consideration for private-well testing.
03
Nitrite
Measures nitrite alongside nitrate and lead in this combined panel.
This page covers lead in water. Paint and building-material lead testing are a separate service. If the report is for a school, daycare or lender, share the written sampling requirements so we can quote the correct scope.
A test for your next question

- A private well where nitrate or nitrite testing is requested.

Your testing questions
Are lead, nitrate and nitrite all included?
Yes. This service is the combined lead, nitrate and nitrite panel. Bacteria, water quality and turbidity are separate panels.
Is this the same as lead paint testing?
No. This panel checks lead in water. Testing paint or other building materials requires a different service and sampling method.
Why does the collection method matter?
Different purposes can require different tap locations, first-draw samples or flushed samples. We confirm the instructions for your report before collection.
Will this panel satisfy my lender?
Send the lender’s written test list and collection instructions. Some loans require a broader kit, including bacteria, iron and turbidity, rather than this three-substance panel alone.
