US water contains more ‘forever chemicals’ than EPA tests show

It’s really a shame how bad water has gotten in my lifetime. I only trust protecting my family with a RO because I no longer trust our government preventing corporations from poisoning our water or trust our government to safely filter and transport water to our household.

I installed a whole-house filter that was great when the EPA's recommended limit was 70 ppt, since mine drops it to < 10 ppt. Now that it's something on the order of ppq, I may have to add RO to at least the fridge, since that's where we get drinking water.

In the UK we don't even test AFAIK. Presumably one day some academics will do it here and come up with horrifying results.

Does anyone know how to go about getting home water tested? Is there a place you can send it, or kits to buy? 23andMe for water?
