I agree, but the test was pretty expensive (about $400) so I only opted to test the "filtered" output since that's what I end up drinking and cooking with. I would definitely like to do a comparison test in the future.

Testing your unfiltered water as a control to your filter is a good idea, but also you're still bathing in that water.

$400 seems quite high. There are much cheaper tests available, such as the National Testing Labs City Check test ($126 + return shipping) at https://www.purewaterproducts.com/watercheck/
