Discover how water picks up contaminants as it flows through your home's pipes, appliances, and fixtures.
Why This Matters
Municipal water is tested when it leaves the plant, and traditional testing is important to understand what contaminants it picks up as it travels through miles of aging pipes to reach your house.
But Trace takes it one step further. You're not really testing what you're drinking unless you test it from the sources you actually consume it from—after it sits in your hot water heater, flows through your coffee maker, or stagnates in your fridge lines.
Testing at your kitchen faucet isn't enough. You need to trace the water journey through your home.
This quiz will help you:
- 1Identify all the places where you drink or use water
- 2Understand which contaminants each source might carry
- 3Get a personalized testing plan for your home
