I bought a no name brand battery for my laptop once off of ebay. Had zero problems with it. The battery life was like 1 year instead of 2 or something but otherwise it performed the same. Just make sure you pick a reputable seller or something with a lot of positive ratings.

I just wanted to add that a reverse osmosis system would bypass the lead and I think everything else there in your drinking water. If you are going to have kids in the house then you need to fix the lead issue because especially little ones will drink the bath water.

But yes, knowing why you have that much lead in your water and the source is important. It could be lead pipes or soldering. From my own research I found that, especially if it is an older well, if there is a lead packer installed down in the well then you’ll have to get it lined at some point to stop the problem.

Check locally and state websites. You should be able to find some local labs if you want something this detailed otherwise if you want to spend less with less precise results you can look for well water test strips online that will test for like 15 different things. It will not test for bacteria or PFAs. Those are separate tests.

There’s enough shit posts to keep most people happy.
