Potable water testing

We have a 100 gallon glass/ply conformal water tank on the Lady J. We "shocked" the tank and lines overnight with bleach, drained, and refilled twice. The First Mate still detects an odor (not bleach) from the water. We've been using the water for washing and rinsing, but drink from bottled water. Has anyone tested their water for purity? A filter system is in future, but I'd like to know where we stand on quality right now. I don't have a problem with "city" water from any marina. Just need a starting reference. Any ideas on testing kits? Where to get and what cost? Thanks.
