However, in areas of soft water there is greater risk of lead piping causing lead pollution in the water. Again, we think DIY lead-test kits are an excellent value, and if lead is your only worry, they are a quick and inexpensive way to tell whether you have a problem. Our services are designed for home testing, as such, the water samples are not taken by certified specialists and therefore cannot be used for official or legal purposes.

The UK maximum contaminant levels (by DWI/DEFRA) for lead in water is 10µg/l (from 25th December 2013), which equates to 10ppb or 0. Protect your family from the harmful effects of lead poisoning in water by utilising our Quick Lead Water Test.Laboratory Test for Lead: a laboratory test gives a very detailed measurement of the amount of lead in water.

Water is considered to be hard if it has a high mineral content such as salts containing calcium and magnesium. Ask your surveyor to check the nature and condition of the outside and internal pipes as part of the survey, making special mention of lead. When arranging this you should also notify your water company because they are legally required to replace their communication pipe, if it is made of lead and is at risk of contributing to the amount of lead in the drinking water supply.

Our Service may contain links to third-party web sites or services that are not owned or controlled by the Company. It allows water utility professionals to carry out testing at consumers’ taps and efficiently and quickly identify corroded LSLs, which can cause lead contamination in drinking water. Lead, a heavy metal with the chemical formula Pb is different from other contaminants in that the problem is likely to be caused inside your home or workplace, rather than one associated with the mains water supply coming from your local water utility company. Then we reached out to all of our contenders to verbally confirm that they actually had the proper paperwork, and we reconfirmed this via public records. None the less, particles of lead may build up in these older pipes and intermittently appear in tap water.
