Practitioners
For Health Practitioners
Water quality is a clinical blind spot. Most practitioners don't know their patients' contaminant exposure — because the data has never been accessible in a clinical context. WaterHealthCheck makes it accessible.
The problem
Your patients drink tap water every day. Do you know what's in it?
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Information System contains monitoring results for every public water utility in the United States. UCMR5 added the most comprehensive PFAS dataset ever compiled for public water. All of it is publicly available.
None of it is accessible in clinical practice — not because the data doesn't exist, but because it exists in formats designed for regulatory compliance, not patient consultations.
WaterHealthCheck pulls from these federal sources and presents contaminant data in a format that belongs in a clinical conversation.
Clinical applications
What it's used for.
Pregnancy & prenatal care
PFAS, nitrates, lead, and trihalomethanes all carry documented risks in pregnancy and early development. Reports can be calibrated for pregnant patients to surface these contaminants first, with the relevant EWG health guidelines and citations.
Environmental load assessments
Chronic daily exposure to low-level contaminants is an underexamined variable in functional medicine protocols. Reports show the full contaminant profile against both EPA limits and stricter EWG health guidelines — including UCMR5 PFAS data from 2023–2025.
Infant and child exposure
Infants mixing formula are particularly vulnerable to nitrates, lead, and fluoride at certain levels. Reports calibrated for infant household profiles surface these contaminants with infant-specific context and filter recommendations.
Immunocompromised & oncology
Immunocompromised patients have different risk thresholds for microbial and chemical contaminants. Reports note where utility data includes pathogen monitoring results and treatment compliance records.
How to use it
Three steps, no setup required.
Run a report for your patient's ZIP
Enter the patient's ZIP code at waterhealthcheck.com. The report is generated from EPA records for their utility — no account or signup required.
Share the link or download the PDF
Each report has a shareable URL at the city level. A PDF version with full source citations is available for download — suitable for clinical notes or patient handouts.
Use the contaminant data in your consultation
The report surfaces detected contaminants, their levels relative to EPA and EWG thresholds, and filter recommendations specific to what's in the water. All numbers are source-linked to the underlying EPA data.
Independence
WaterHealthCheck is an independent water-health information service. We do not sell water filters, take affiliate commissions, or have relationships with filter manufacturers. Filter recommendations in reports are data-driven — based on the contaminant profile only. Reports are free, source-linked, and designed to enter the clinical conversation without a commercial agenda.

Want to discuss a patient's water report?
For complex cases — high PFAS exposure, pregnancy with multiple contaminants of concern, or immunocompromised patients — a consultation with a water specialist can help interpret the data and filter options in the clinical context. Book through Vital Water Co.
