A More Personal View of Your Water
Municipal water systems monitor and treat water across the communities they serve. A sample collected at home adds a more personal layer of information: results specific to the water collected at your faucet at that point in time.
A Kleer Blue Water™️ tap water test reports results for the substances included in the testing panel you select. Depending on the City kit, testing may include lead, copper, metals, minerals, VOCs, disinfection byproducts, pH, hardness, and other water-quality indicators.
City water testing can be especially helpful after moving into a new home, following plumbing work, when older fixtures or service lines are a concern, or simply when you want to better understand the water your household uses every day.
Choose the Level of Testing That Works for You
City Core, City Complete, and City Comprehensive offer progressively broader testing. The right choice depends on how much detail you want and the questions you would like your testing to address.
Every City Water Testing Kit includes simple at-home sample collection, Professional Laboratory Analysis, a Free & Total Chlorine strip, prepaid return shipping, and clear results in your Personalized Dashboard.
Each product page lists the specific tests included in that kit, making it easier to compare the three options. A broader panel does not mean every household needs every available test. It simply provides results across more substances and water-quality measurements.
Professional Water Testing, Made Simple
At-home strips and digital meters can provide useful information, but each is limited to the reading it is designed to measure. A chlorine tester for drinking water, for example, provides a quick screening for chlorine. A total dissolved solids meter provides a general reading but does not identify the individual substances contributing to that number.
A mail-in tap water test with Professional Laboratory Analysis offers a more detailed view. The laboratory measures and reports results for the substances included in the selected testing panel rather than providing a single general reading.
Kleer Blue Water makes the process straightforward. Collect your samples at home, return them using the included prepaid shipping materials, and review your results through your Personalized Dashboard. Each result is presented clearly, with information to help you understand what was measured and how it compares with the applicable reference value.
Understanding Common City-Water Questions
Lead is a common reason customers consider a tap water lead test. Lead may enter water through service lines, solder, fixtures, and other plumbing materials. A sample collected at your faucet provides a point-in-time result for lead in that submitted sample.
VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are a broad group of substances that may enter water from different sources. The VOCs included vary by City testing panel, so each product page identifies the specific tests included.
Many municipal systems use disinfectants such as chlorine as part of water treatment. Disinfection byproducts can form when disinfectants react with naturally occurring material in the water. Depending on the selected panel, a City tap water test may include results for certain disinfection byproducts in addition to the Free & Total Chlorine strip included with every City kit.
