[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is excellent. Can anyone provide a link to a water testing company? I want to put water from my tap and send it for analysis. Secondly, what reusable bottle options are there? I would actually prefer a stainless steel container with a filter inside. I know one company that offers a bottle with a filter inside, but it is made of plastic (#4).[/quote] Actually, it looks like D.C. will test your water for lead for free: https://www.dcwater.com/lead-testing We paid an extra fee to our home inspector to do it when we were getting our house inspected before we bought it. (At the time, no one had lived there for three years, which the inspector said would mean the lead results would show the highest possible lead amounts, because frequently using the pipes for normal household activities flushes the lines a bit, but our results still came back well below levels the federal guidelines say should cause alarm.) As for a water bottle, there are tons on Amazon. Here's one that's stainless steel with a filter: https://www.amazon.com/Erba-Stainless-Activated-removes-Chlorine/dp/B01NBEISS4/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1498240659&sr=8-15&keywords=water+bottle+with+filter But a few more minutes of poking around would probably turn up many more options.
