Does anybody know of a good and affordable way to test lead in water levels? I want to test my tap water at various times and spouts (hot, cold, shower, etc) but all of the at home kits seem to be focused on testing lead paint and physical/dry items vs water testing. Or if I need to send results in to a lab are there any affordable ones out there that are recommended?

- CalRobert 4y agoI can't speak to how rigorous they are but searching Amazon for "water test kit" shows a lot of results. I used some to test my own water for lead, pesticides, etc. Though I'd want a lab test to be sure.

Clicking on my state brought me to my state's Department of Health website, whose Public Health Laboratory offers a send-in water lead test for $20.
