PFAS, nitrate, microplastics, pesticide residue. Utilities test a few dozen substances and publish annual averages — nobody measures what's actually coming out of your tap today except you. We make the tools to do it accessible.
We only recommend what we'd use ourselves. If you click and buy, bad.earth earns a small commission from Amazon — your price stays the same. That's how this site stays ad-free and free.
The simplest entry into water analysis. Dip, read, done. Measures dissolved solids as TDS — the fastest indicator that something is off. Also ideal for comparing filter performance before vs. after.
Measures water activity (aw) precisely — relevant for food, water storage and microbiological risk. USB cable included, values exportable. Hard to beat if you measure and document regularly.
When you really want to know: send in a sample, an accredited lab analyses heavy metals, nitrate, bacteria and more. Express results explained by an expert — not a dry table. Ideal once a year — especially for older buildings and unclear plumbing.
Filters contaminants, microplastics, heavy metals and chlorine right at the kitchen tap. Low maintenance, no plastic-bottle nonsense. If your test results call for action — this is the long-term answer.
Press-filter bottle that turns any stream, well or hotel tap into drinkable water in 8 seconds. Eliminates bacteria, viruses, protozoa, heavy metals and microplastics. Gold standard for travel outside Europe.
One tablet, one liter, clear drinking water — even from questionable sources. The classic for emergency packs, outdoor trips, crisis prep. No filter, no power, no maintenance. Works where nothing else does.
Coatings from cookware, outdoor gear, food packaging. Don't break down. Not searched for in routine utility tests.
From washing machines, tire wear, packaging. Study after study finds them in tap water, bottled water, blood, placentas.
Manure and fertilizer leach into groundwater. Many EU countries exceed limits in farming regions for years — usually quietly, without consequence.
Pick a kit above that fits your situation: quick test for screening, lab test for depth, filter for instant improvement.
Sample in the morning after 6 hours of stagnation — that's the honest reading. Instructions come with every kit. Time: 5–10 minutes.
Compare values to your country's drinking water standards. If something's off: notify landlord, install a filter, contact the health authority.
What I mostly want to know is …
A simple TDS meter shows you in seconds whether something is fundamentally off with your tap water — the fastest entry point with zero prior knowledge.
