PFAS Essentials Water Test Kit – Low-Level Detection of PFAS in Drinking Water

What’s in Your Water?

PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)—often called “forever chemicals”— are invisible, tasteless, and found in many Australian water sources. These contaminants don’t break down easily and can accumulate in your body over time are are linked with cancer, fertility, and childhood development issues.

Our PFAS Essentials Water Test Kit helps you detect and measure the most common PFAS compounds found in drinking water—giving you peace of mind and the information you need for your health and safety.

This Test detects:

  • PFOS (Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid)
  • PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic acid)
  • PFHxS (Perfluorohexanesulfonic acid)
  • PFNA (Perfluorononanoic acid)
  • 6:2 Fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (6:2 FTS)
  • 8:2 Fluorotelomer sulfonic acid (8:2 FTS)

This test focuses specifically on PFAS. If you want to test for heavy metals, fluoride, nitrates, or bacteria, see our advanced drinking water test kit here.
