Straight answers. Where the science is not settled, we say so.
Everything people ask us before they trust us with their water, their air, and the light their family lives in. What the app and the kit do, what we test, what it costs, and what happens to your data. Nothing on this page is for sale.

What this is
What is Stasis, exactly?
Stasis reads your home the way a doctor reads bloodwork. The gap we close is the one between what is legal and what is healthy: a legal limit is set for a whole city at once, and the level where health risk actually begins often sits well below it. We work in two parts.
The app starts from your address, gives you a first read of your water, air, and light in seconds, and then keeps watch: it tracks the smoke, pollen, heat, and smog outside your door and turns that into daily and seasonal guidance for your home. The mail-in kit tests your tap water in an accredited lab and feeds real numbers into the same plan.
Sometimes the honest answer is that your home is fine and you should do nothing, and we will tell you that too.
So it is an app and a water test. What do they actually do?
The app is the part that never stops. It reads the conditions outside your home, smoke, pollen, heat, wind, and smog, and tells you what they mean for the air you are about to breathe: when to run the purifier, when to keep the windows shut, when the light in a room is working against your sleep.
That guidance shifts with the day and the season, because your home does. The mail-in kit is the deeper read: you collect your own tap water into the vials we send, ship it to an accredited lab, and the measured results replace the estimate in your plan. One app, one plan, kept current.
How is this different from the free test the water company offers?
The free test looks at hardness and chlorine, the things that sell a water softener, and stops. We test in an accredited lab for the contaminants tied to health, like lead, disinfection byproducts, and PFAS, the forever chemicals, where your water warrants it, and we grade them against peer-reviewed limits, which are often stricter than the legal ones.
Testing and recommending what to do about it are two different jobs, and the research is clear that the company selling you the fix should not be the one grading your water. So the reading comes first, on its own.
Can't I just buy a filter or an air monitor myself?
You can, and sometimes that is the right answer. The catch is knowing what to buy and whether you need it at all. A monitor on a shelf gives you a number, not an answer, and the number is only useful if someone reads it across water, air, and light together and over time. Think of us as the friend who knows this stuff: we point you to the fix that fits, and just as often tell you to save your money. That reading is the product.
The science, and where we draw the line
My water and air are probably fine. Do I really need this?
“Fine” depends on whose line you use. A legal limit is set as much by what treatment can realistically achieve across a whole city as by pure health risk. The level where health risk begins often sits well below it, and that gap can be widest for kids, for pregnant women, and for the slow, cumulative exposures you never notice.
You spend more of your life inside your home than anywhere else, drinking and breathing the same inputs every day, and almost no one ever measures them. We measure against health-based science, including the parts still emerging, and tell you which findings actually matter for the people who live there.
We exist to close the gap between what is legal and what is actually healthy.
Is this backed by real science?
Every threshold we measure against comes from peer-reviewed research or a public health body, in plain language so you can check it. We are all for wellness, and we follow the emerging science closely. The line we hold is evidence.
Some topics are still early or debated, and some sit outside what we cover, and if those matter to you, good, we are not here to talk you out of anything. We build our recommendations on the findings with the highest impact and the strongest support, the ones we would act on for our own kids and parents. We tell you plainly what is settled and what is not.
What about EMF, mold illness, or things I have read about that you don't list?
If it does not have a peer-reviewed threshold we can act on, we do not measure it. That is why we stick to your water, your air, and your light, and not everything you have read about. EMF research has not converged on a health-based threshold we could defend, so we do not build recommendations on it, and we are not going to tell you to stop caring about it.
Mold is real, and a surface test can tell you what is growing on a spot you can see, but we do not diagnose illness, and we do not run the blood-panel or detox protocols you may have seen, because that science has not held up. When a topic moves from debated to established, we will measure it and tell you.
Pricing, the app, and your score
Is the app free?
No. The app is a paid membership, because a daily score, location-aware alerts, and tracking only mean something if we keep them current. The App Store will show the membership price before you start, and water tests are sold in the app.
Why is the deep read a one-time fee but the app a membership?
Because they do two different jobs. The deep read is one moment done thoroughly: the kit tests your water in a lab, and the app runs a week of air and light, then it all gets ranked into a plan. You pay for it once and you own the findings. The app is the part that has to stay alive.
Your water shifts with the season, smoke and smog come and go, and a score is only worth anything if it tracks today, not the day you tested. The membership covers keeping it current: the alerts, the tracking, the new science as it lands. You buy the read once. The membership keeps it true.
What is the Stasis Score, and what does my number mean?
The Stasis Score is a zero-to-one-hundred read of your home across water, air, and light, and higher is better. The number comes with one word: Good for 75 and up, Fair for 50 to 74, or Poor below 50. Water, air, and light each get their own word too, so you can see which part pulls the number down.
The free score from the address quiz is an estimate built from public data, like your utility's water report and your regional air quality, and it is labeled that way. Testing replaces the estimate with measured readings from your own home. The score exists so you can see which part of your home to look at first; the full findings sit underneath it.
Is it HSA or FSA eligible?
For some customers, yes, with the right documentation. A health savings or flexible spending account can cover testing tied to a documented health need, and that is the most likely path here. The paperwork that establishes the need has to be handled independently of us, so the call is never ours to make. Eligibility depends on your plan and your situation; where a path exists, we point you to it.
Getting started, and your data
How does the collection work, and is the sample reliable?
Yes, when you follow the steps, and we built the steps so it is hard to get wrong. For water, you collect from your own tap into the vials we send, in a set order, and ship it to an accredited lab. First-draw timing matters for things like lead, so the instructions are specific about it, because the number is only honest if the sample is. A lab reads every sample the same way, so the standard does not change with who holds the vial.
What exactly do you test for?
What can do the most harm to the people in your house, with the strongest evidence behind it. In water, that means lead, which harms children’s developing brains, and the chemicals tied to long-term cancer risk. An accredited lab can test your own tap for over a hundred markers, and your address tells us which test your home needs.
In air, Stasis watches the smoke, smog, fine particles, and pollen around your home every hour, the things that inflame lungs and strain hearts, and warns you before they arrive. For light, Stasis helps you get the daylight your body clock runs on and keep your evenings calm. Each result is read against a health line we can stand behind.
What happens to my data and my privacy?
Your results are yours. We collect what we need to do the work: your address to pull your utility's public water report and your local air conditions, and your email or phone to send your findings and alerts. We do not sell your personal information. You can ask us to delete your account and your data. The full detail lives on our privacy page: what we keep, how long we keep it, and your choices.
When and where can I get it?
Late 2026. The app and the mail-in Home Kit launch together and work nationwide, and the app needs only your address to start. The waitlist gets first access.
Do you remediate mold?
No, and that is on purpose. If something we find points to moisture or mold, we tell you what we found and point you to a vetted remediation crew. We do not hold a contractor license and we never will, because the company that inspects your mold should not be the company that gets paid thousands to remove it. We assess and we refer, and we stay clear of the removal itself.
