Sample report

๐Ÿšจ 2 violations found

๐Ÿงช
Lead โ€” action level exceeded (2024)

Plain English: your system found more lead than the EPA action level allows. Even low lead exposure matters for kids. โ†’ Next: flush taps 30 seconds before use; consider an NSF/ANSI 53 certified filter.

๐Ÿงช
Total coliform โ€” monitoring violation

Plain English: the system missed required bacteria testing that month โ€” not proof of contamination, but a gap in oversight. โ†’ Next: ask your utility for the follow-up results.

What to do next: filter types that remove lead, your utility's contact, and how your system compares to nearby systems โ€” all in the $19 decoded report + PDF.
FAQ

Plain answers

Where does the data come from?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's public drinking-water records (SDWIS) โ€” the same database utilities report violations to. We show the "data as of" date on every verdict so you know how fresh it is.

Is the free verdict really free?

Yes. The badge (Safe / Caution / Violations), the violation count, your water system's name, and the data date are free with no signup required. Free checks are limited per device to keep the service fair.

Why not just order a $189 lab kit?

A lab kit tests your tap โ€” valuable, but it costs $189 and takes weeks. PureTap answers a different, faster question first: does your water system already have known violations on record? That takes 60 seconds and starts free. If your system looks clean and you still want certainty, a lab test is a great next step.

What does the $19 decoded report include?

Every violation on your system's record translated into plain English, what each contaminant means for health, what to do next (filter types, who to call), and a printable PDF for your records. One-time payment โ€” no subscription.

Do I need an account?

No. No accounts, no passwords. We only ask for your email if you want your result emailed โ€” and every email we send has a one-click unsubscribe link.

What if my ZIP isn't found?

Some ZIPs span multiple water systems or use private wells (which aren't in EPA's public system records). If we can't match your ZIP, we'll say so honestly rather than guess.
