Heavy metal analysis of drinking water

Only for Germany and Austria

• We would like to point out that these tests and the shipping processes are optimized for Germany and Austria and are prepaid.
• Samples must be delivered to the German laboratory within 4 days. This cannot be guaranteed for samples shipped from other countries!
• Orders from countries other than Germany and Austria are therefore at your own risk. In this case, we only accept the payment method "Prepayment (directly to us)", as customers cannot then cancel the purchase, e.g., because the sample arrived at the laboratory unusable through their own fault. Purchases made with any other payment methods that customers could unlawfully reverse will be immediately canceled and refunded.
• You can find more information about this from the manufacturer!

Heavy metal analysis of drinking water for domestic drinking water systems

The quality of our drinking water is strictly regulated by the Drinking Water Ordinance. However, this regulation does not cover private drinking water systems, as it ends at the property boundary. Consequently, hazards arising within a property’s own drinking water system often go unnoticed. 

The concentration of heavy metals in drinking water should be tested to minimise potential health risks to consumers. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic should not be ingested in high concentrations and can cause long-term health problems if present in elevated levels in drinking water. Regular testing of heavy metal concentrations helps to ensure that drinking water complies with the applicable limit values and quality standards and is therefore safe for human consumption. This testing can minimise potential exposure to harmful heavy metals, thereby protecting people’s health.

The Medivere heavy metal drinking water analysis also assesses water hardness by measuring the concentrations of calcium and magnesium.

The test kit includes:

• 1 sampling guide
• 1 set of instructions for interpreting results
• 1 sample accompanying form
• 1 warranty certificate
• 1 sample tube
• 1 dispatch envelope

Legal notice: All samples must be taken by the client. This drinking water analysis is an indicative test which is not carried out in accordance with the current Drinking Water Ordinance. The test results cannot be recognised by the authorities or in court.
