Recommended by SimpleLab™ for targeted testing of total bismuth concentrations in drinking water. Bismuth is metal that is sometimes used as safer substitute for lead during the manufacture of certain solders and alloys. It occurs naturally, as well as can result as a byproduct of lead and copper smelting. Even at low concentrations, bismuth may cause a bitter or metallic taste in drinking water.

This Tap Score water test package provides all required materials to properly collect and submit a sample for certified laboratory testing. Reported results will include detailed, analysis of bismuth.
