Five taps feed a nursery and most families have thought about one
Water in baby's everyday environment
Professional testing can evaluate the water source used for bottles, food and household drinking.
Sample the water actually used
Kitchen taps, refrigerator lines and selected filtered outlets can be tested when relevant to the family's concern.
Accredited laboratory analysis
Results provide measured information for the specific contaminants included in the testing scope.

Five departure locations
Five taps feed a baby and most families have thought about one
| Route | Which tap | Where lead sits in it |
|---|---|---|
| Bottles and formula | Kitchen, often first thing in the morning | Largest single pathway for a formula fed infant |
| Bath | Bathroom, often on a different branch | Ingested rather than absorbed, and frequently untested |
| Bottle washing and sterilizing | Kitchen, often the hot supply | Hot water is more aggressive toward metal |
| Humidifier | Whichever tap is nearest | Same supply, running in a closed room all night |
| Fridge dispenser or ice | A narrow accessory line | Holds standing water for hours between uses |
Lead in Water Testing Across Every Nursery Water Use
Tap water reaches an infant through several distinct routes. Bottles and formula, bath water, bottle washing and sterilising, humidifier fill and refrigerator dispensers all draw from the same supply, sometimes through different branch lines.
Olympian Water Testing performs lead in water assessments for households with infants and young children across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
The Routes Households Consider Least
Bath water is an ingestion route for an infant, since bath water is swallowed and washcloths are mouthed, and in many properties the bathroom sits on a different branch line from the kitchen.
Accessory tubing serving a refrigerator dispenser holds standing water between uses, and stagnation is the dominant variable for anything the plumbing contributes.
Where Lead Enters
Three pathways account for most of it: the buried service line, solder at the joints of the branch line or riser, and brass within valves and fixtures.
A current plumbing system can carry lead in faucet cartridge housings and stems, backflow preventers and pressure reducing valves, faucet bodies in kitchens and bathrooms, well pump and booster pump wetted components, tub and shower mixing valves, water heater nipples and relief valves, brass pipe fittings including tees, elbows, couplings, unions and adapters, hose bibbs and exterior spigots, ball and gate valves on domestic hot and cold isolation. Analysis routinely returns measurable lead from fixtures meeting the standard, which is why age is not the deciding factor.
How the Sampling Event Is Conducted
Our highly trained and skilled laboratory technicians perform the site visit and identify every cold water point of use, and the household confirms which points matter.
The draws are taken in sequence along the supply path, stagnation is requested where the parameter requires it, and outlet screens are not disturbed for the property concerned.
Understanding Our Reporting
Our reporting identifies each sampling point and the use it represents, the method applied, the reporting limit and the measured concentration.
Olympian Water Testing has worked with families throughout the region for thirty five years, with NELAP accredited laboratory analysis.
