BASELINE RESIDENTIAL WATER ANALYSIS PANEL
Once our EPA-verified lab completes the analysis, you won't be left staring at a confusing data sheet. Your report includes a Result Interpretation Guide that compares your levels against the EPA's Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs).
We help you understand:
Action Levels: Does your water exceed safety thresholds?
Aesthetic Issues: Is the mineral content causing your staining or taste problems?
Next Steps: We provide clear guidance on what type of filtration or mitigation may be necessary based on your specific chemical profile.
Accuracy starts the moment the water hits the bottle. Unlike basic hardware store tests, this kit is engineered to maintain sample integrity from your faucet to our facility.
Professional-Grade Hardware: Includes pre-cleaned, certified HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) sample bottles. These specialized containers ensure no chemicals leach into your water, keeping your sample pure.
Temperature Controlled: We include a cooling gel pack to preserve the chemical state of your water during transit, ensuring the lab analyzes exactly what you’re drinking.
Comprehensive Heavy Metal Sweep: High-sensitivity testing for Lead, Arsenic, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, and Iron.
EPA-Verified Accuracy: Your samples are analyzed in a certified laboratory using gold-standard methods, not unreliable "at-home" color strips.
Clear Answers: You won't just get a spreadsheet of numbers. You’ll receive a full result interpretation that explains what your levels mean and how they compare to safety standards.
Certified HDPE Bottles: Pre-cleaned and ready for collection.
Preservation Gear: Cooling gel pack for shipping.
Simple Instructions: Step-by-step guide to capturing a perfect sample.
Prepaid Shipping Label: Fast, documented transit to our lab.
Lab Analysis & Report: EPA-verified results and expert interpretation.
Analyte
How it gets in your water
Potential Health Impact
Lead
Corroded plumbing, lead solder, or aging brass fixtures and faucets.
Can cause developmental delays in children and kidney issues or high blood pressure in adults.
Arsenic
Naturally occurring in the earth's crust; often enters groundwater through rock erosion or agricultural runoff.
Long-term exposure is linked to skin damage, circulatory problems, and increased cancer risk.
Copper
Primarily from the corrosion of household copper pipes, especially in homes with acidic water.
Can cause gastrointestinal distress in the short term and liver or kidney damage over time.
Manganese
Naturally occurring in minerals; often found in well water or entering via industrial waste.
High levels can impact the nervous system and cause "black water" staining on laundry and fixtures.
Chromium
Enters the water supply through erosion of natural deposits or industrial discharge from plating and leather tanning.
Hexavalent chromium (Cr-VI) is a known carcinogen and can cause skin reactions or internal damage.
Iron
Seeps into groundwater from the earth or from corroding iron/steel pipes.
While mainly an aesthetic concern (metallic taste/orange stains), high levels can harbor "iron bacteria."
Stop wondering what’s in your tap and start knowing.
Your water might look clear, but heavy metals like Lead and Arsenic are invisible, tasteless, and odorless. Our Baseline Water Panel takes the guesswork out of your home’s safety. We provide the same professional-grade tools used by environmental scientists, simplified for your kitchen counter.
Advanced Detection Technology: ICP-MS
Your water is analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). This technology is capable of detecting metals at "parts per trillion" levels. By ionizing your sample with a plasma torch, we can identify the exact "fingerprint" of each heavy metal with unparalleled precision.
EPA-Certified Methods
We strictly adhere to federal regulatory protocols to ensure your data is accurate and actionable:
Method EPA 200.8: The "Gold Standard" for the determination of trace elements in water. This method is required for regulatory compliance and provides the most reliable data for Lead, Arsenic, and other toxic metals.
Sample Integrity: By using our certified HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) bottles and cooling gel packs, you ensure your sample arrives at the lab in the exact state it left your faucet—preventing the degradation or "plating out" of metals on container walls.
Sacred Sampling Solutions provides professionally prepared sampling kits designed to bring laboratory-grade environmental testing into the home.
Each kit is assembled using cleaned, certified sampling containers and documented materials to help preserve sample integrity from collection through laboratory analysis. Every shipment includes step-by-step collection instructions, chain-of-custody documentation, protective packaging, and a pre-addressed return shipping label for secure delivery to our laboratory.
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days, and most customers receive their kit within 3–5 business days depending on location.
Once your sample is collected, simply seal the containers, complete the included chain-of-custody form, and return the package using the provided shipping label.
Upon arrival at the laboratory, samples are logged into the laboratory information system and prepared for instrument-based analytical testing using certified laboratory methods. Most results are available within 5–10 business days after the laboratory receives your sample.
Sacred Sampling Solutions currently ships sampling kits within the United States.
Because when it comes to your water and environment, clarity should be measured — not assumed.
To ensure accurate laboratory results, samples must be collected according to the provided instructions and procedures.
If a sample is collected incorrectly — including but not limited to:
Using containers improperly
Collecting the wrong sample type
Contaminating the sample
Failing to complete required documentation
Failing to follow shipping instructions
The laboratory may be unable to perform testing or guarantee accurate results.
Sacred Sampling Solutions is not responsible for samples that cannot be analyzed due to improper collection procedures, and refunds may not be available once a sample has been collected or submitted.
