5 out of 5 stars
Great service and fantastic product!
i just spoke with the Tap Score engineers on the phone -- first of all, awesome that they put kind, smart water chemistry PhDs and engineers on the phone, not just token customer service bots. Anyway, they did an amazing job all around. the test was easy, fast, and really really informative. They charged no extra money to spend 20 minutes on the phone with me and helped me pick out the right water treatment equipment for my home. this is a great service. if you have questions about your water and you can afford this $, i strongly recommend tap score. they score your water health out of 100 and then if you fall short, tell you how to get there affordably.
Thank you for your feedback

    The test was easy to order, perform, send back, to register and check results. It's also easy to download the report to email to water treatment companies to get recommendation for how to treat my water's specific issues. Yes, it took a couple of weeks to get results, but the wait was worth it. The report is very easy to read and I could click on individual components for more information. There's so much more information than what I got from the basic test the county health department does for free. It was also cheaper than the county's fees for the extensive additional testing I wanted performed. The report also included information about which water treatment technologies will solve each of my specific water issues. We have a new build with a new well. The report showed a couple areas of concern and gave me information to make informed decisions on treatment that will meet my goal of retaining minerals in our water. It still took me some time to research, talk to treatment companies, and create a workable solution. I ran into some roadblocks with treatment companies just wanting to do standard treatments like a salt-based water softener and an RO system but that wouldn't meet our goals or health needs. Customer Service was very responsive and was able to educate me on a couple points so that I could keep moving with putting together a solution. They even went above and beyond answering not only the question I came to them with but helping answer a deeper question that actually solves my issue even though it took a little more time and effort for the customer service representative to talk with others there and get a thorough answer to my question. I'm more than impressed (and I don't impress easily). I'll be using them in the future for my water testing needs for sure!

  • Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024
    Easy to use, with a lengthy list of analytes. The results have really helped both reassure us on our quality of water, as well as identify a couple of issues related to older plumbing (which we assumed we would need to replace, but these tests have confirmed some needs that we didn't originally consider)!.
    Knowing about these issues has informed us on what we can do to mitigate it, until we finish our plumbing upgrades. I think this was well worth the cost.

    The support via chat was very helpful in understanding how the tests were done, and on interpretation of the results, and on what items were tested from each vial / draw.

    Just be aware that the elemental portion of the test is only performed on the First Draw sample in the Advance Test. My only wish is that there was an option to have elementals be tested on both First Draw and Full Flush samples, in order to conclusively identify plumbing vs. source water issues within a single sample and test, and to show the reduction levels achieved on contaminants via the full flush.
    One will have to obtain an additional test or tests if one wishes to do an elementals test on a Full Flush sample.

    Of course, that would be additional cost to fully test the advanced list of elements on two vials, but it would be nice to have a kit that option.

    That said, the elementals detected in our sample are almost always related to plumbing, and we need to upgrade older plumbing anyway. This will likely reduce or eliminate the items detected, so we'll just retest again after we have the plumbing work done.

    All in all, the testing was very helpful and worth the investment. If you have any question about the quality of your water or on potential contaminants, I would recommend.

  • Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2023
    Simple to use. Service was fairly prompt - about 7 days from my return date. Don't be spooked by some numbers that show some chemicals above Health Guidance Level (HGL). They set certain heavy metal level thresholds at zero (e.g. Lead, Arsenic and Uranium). My reaction was one of immediate concern. However, I checked HGL levels that Federal and State agencies consider safe for these elements in drinking water and found the reported levels are well within their accepted levels. Like all data, context is needed. Good service and I would use them again.

    It was pretty straight forward to use. The results are pretty detailed. Not only does it tell you what is in the water but what home filtration systems might be best for you. It even can link you to someone in your area that can install one.
