wow! i got a full, professional analysis from a simple, at-home / mail-in kit !
at first, i was hesitant to spend this amount on a kit i'd never used (...or even heard-of) before.  but, it sounded very thorough, and that's what i was looking for, so i took the 'leap of faith.'  the kit showed up in the mail the same week and arrived in great shape.  the test bottles were very-well packaged/protected, and the instructions were easy to follow.  minus my time to register online (10-15 minutes?), the actual testing only took 10 minutes.  put it all back in the box, throw in a frozen cold-pack (included ! ), seal it, drop it off at usps or ups. results came via email in approx. 10 days. a sample of their report is attached to this review.  their color-coding for each test/component made it easy to understand.  green = good.  red = bad.  yellow= marginal. then, i was pleasantly surprised by a follow-up phone call about 2 weeks later.  ( believe it or not, there are actually real, live people out there, after all. )  i ranked 'accuracy' as a 4  only because i have nothing else to compare this against. it might be a 5, and i'm just a novice at this. i ranked 'easy - to - read' is a 4 only because i don't have a lot of experience with the terminology, and the report didn't include a 'water-analysis for dummies'  cheat-sheet to explain all this stuff.  i google-d the red items on my report (thank goodness there were only 3... out of 300 ? items included in the lab screening process...) and found that they weren't a concern for human health / well-being.
