Hexavalent Chromium Water Test Kit: Chromium-6 (Certified Lab)

Hexavalent Chromium Water Test Kit: Chromium-6 (Certified Lab) Hexavalent Chromium Water Test Kit analyzed by an independent, third-party certified lab in the SimpleLab network, with a personal results review from a water treatment expert with 30+ years of experience. Order the kit, collect a sample, mail it back with the prepaid label, and get certified results in about 10 business days. Then a real expert tells you what your numbers mean and exactly what to do. Why Test for This Hexavalent chromium, chromium-6, is the contaminant made famous by the Erin Brockovich case. It comes from industrial processes (plating, manufacturing, certain corrosion control) and can also occur naturally. It is a recognized carcinogen, and it is colorless and tasteless. Notably, there is no enforceable federal drinking-water limit specifically for chromium-6 yet, so it is easy to overlook. This test measures hexavalent chromium specifically by EPA Method 218.7 at a certified lab, distinct from total chromium. If you live near industry, in an area with known chromium-6 contamination, or you simply want to rule out a known carcinogen, this is how you find out. Who This Test Is For You live near manufacturing, plating, or industrial sites Your area has known or suspected chromium-6 contamination You want to rule out a recognized carcinogen the federal rules miss A total-chromium result came back elevated and you need the Cr VI split What the Lab Measures This test reports 1 parameter(s) for chromium-6 (cr vi) using EPA 218.7 (ion chromatography, hexavalent chromium specific), at a NELAC/ELAP-accredited laboratory. No enforceable federal MCL for chromium-6 specifically. Total chromium MCL: 100 ppb. Some states set far lower Cr VI goals (e.g. California 10 ppb). Independent, Third-Party Lab Testing We do not test your water ourselves, and that is the point. Your sample is sent to one of over 200 NELAC/ELAP-accredited laboratories across the United States, the same independent labs used by state health departments. The result is impartial, then we help you act on it. What Fixes It If treatment is needed, the typical solution is Reverse Osmosis (point-of-use). Reverse osmosis reliably reduces chromium-6 at the drinking-water tap; whole-house options exist for higher levels. What Happens After Your Results This is what separates us from every other water test. After your independent lab results come back, Aidan (one of our owners, 30+ years in water treatment) personally reviews your numbers and tells you whether you need treatment, exactly what equipment and size, the correct installation order, and what maintenance to expect. If your water is within safe limits, he will tell you that too. No sales pitch. Related Guides Reverse Osmosis for Well Water - How RO reduces dissolved metals like chromium-6.
