Buying Guide: Choosing a Home Test Kit

Water Test Kits
Pro-Lab water kits include a bacteria in water test that indicates the presence of bacteria in 48 hours, a lead in water test that reveals lead down to 1 PPB, a total water analysis kit and a water quality test kit. Optional lab analysis is available for the bacteria kit.

Lead, Radon, Mold and CO Tests
Lead kits cover paint and dust, as well as surfaces such as dinnerware, ceramics, plumbing pipes and toys. Radon kits come as a radon gas test and a radon test, and a carbon monoxide kit checks for CO from sources such as chimneys and space heaters. The mold test kit uses dust sampling.

Septic and Plumbing Treatment
The One Flush No Scent septic and plumbing treatment comes as an 8 oz stick for home septic systems, which rely on bacteria to digest and process waste. Harsh drain cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners and detergents can kill those bacteria, so keep them out of the system.
