Tim Heffernan ni umwanditsi ukubiyemo ubwiza bw’ikirere n’amazi hamwe n’ikoranabuhanga rirambye. Ahitamo kugerageza ibyogajuru hamwe numwotsi wimikino ya Flare.
Twongeyeho kandi uburyo bwiza, Cyclopure Purefast, filteri ihuza na Brita ihuza NSF / ANSI yemerewe kugabanya PFAS.
Niba ushaka uburyo bworoshye bwo kubona amazi yo kuyungurura murugo, turasaba inama ya Brita Elite Water Filter, hamwe na Brita Standard Buri munsi 10-Igikombe cyangwa (niba ukoresha amazi menshi murugo rwawe) Ubwongereza Bwiza 27-Igikombe Ubushobozi cyangwa Ikwirakwizwa ryamazi ya Brita Ultramax. Ariko mbere yo guhitamo kimwe, menya ko nyuma yimyaka hafi icumi yo gushyira mu bikorwa amazi yo murugo, twizera ko muyungurura amazi munsi ya sink cyangwa munsi ya robine aribwo buryo bwiza. Bimara igihe kirekire, bigatanga amazi meza byihuse, bigabanya ibyanduye, ntibishobora gufunga, kandi bifata iminota mike yo gushiraho.
Iyi moderi ifite ibyemezo birenga 30 bya ANSI / NSF, birenze gushungura mubyiciro byayo, kandi byateguwe mumezi atandatu yo gusimbuza intera. Ariko nkibiyungurura byose, birashobora gufungwa.
Isafuriya ya Brita iri muburyo bwinshi isobanura akayunguruzo kayunguruzo kandi biroroshye gukoresha no kugira isuku kurusha izindi moderi nyinshi za Brita.
Dispenser ya Brita ifite imbaraga zihagije zo guhaza amazi ya buri munsi yumuryango mugari, kandi robine yayo idashobora kumeneka yagenewe kuba yoroshye kandi yoroshye kubana gukoresha.
Dispenser ya LifeStraw Yageragejwe cyane kugirango ikureho ibintu byinshi byanduza, harimo na gurş, kandi akayunguruzo kayo ntigashobora kwihanganira gufunga kurusha ayandi mashusho yose twagerageje.
Dexsorb muyunguruzi, yapimwe kubipimo bya NSF / ANSI, ifata neza ibintu byinshi byimiti ikomeza (PFAS), harimo PFOA na PFOS.
Iyi moderi ifite ibyemezo birenga 30 bya ANSI / NSF, birenze gushungura mubyiciro byayo, kandi byateguwe mumezi atandatu yo gusimbuza intera. Ariko nkibiyungurura byose, birashobora gufungwa.
Akayunguruzo keza cyane ka Brita ni Brita Elite. Ni ANSI / NSF yemejwe kandi ikuraho umwanda mwinshi kuruta ayandi mazi yose yagaburiwe imbaraga. ibyo bihumanya birimo gurş, mercure, kadmium, PFOA, na PFOS, hamwe ninganda nyinshi zinganda zinganda hamwe n’amazi yanduza amazi agenda arushaho kuba "umwanda ugaragara." Ifite ubuzima bwa litiro 120, cyangwa amezi atandatu, ibyo bikubye inshuro eshatu igihe cyagenwe cyayandi mayunguruzo. Mugihe kirekire, ibyo bituma Elite ihenze kuruta ibisanzwe amezi abiri yo kuyungurura. Nyamara, imyanda iri mumazi irashobora kuyifunga mbere y'amezi atandatu. Niba uzi ko amazi yawe ya robine afite isuku ariko ukaba ushaka ko aryoha neza (cyane cyane niba ahumura nka chlorine), isafuriya isanzwe ya Brita hamwe na filteri ya dispenser ntabwo bihenze kandi ntibishobora gufunga, ariko ntabwo byemewe kubamo isasu cyangwa izindi nganda zose. ibice.
Isafuriya ya Brita iri muburyo bwinshi isobanura akayunguruzo kayunguruzo kandi biroroshye gukoresha no kugira isuku kurusha izindi moderi nyinshi za Brita.
Mubibindi byinshi byabongereza, dukunda cyane ni Brita Standard Buri munsi 10-Igikombe. Igishushanyo mbonera-kidapfa-cyoroshe gukora isuku kuruta andi macupa ya Brita, kandi uburyo bumwe bwo gukuramo igikumwe-guhinduranya bituma kwuzuza byoroshye. Igikoresho cyacyo kigoramye C nacyo kiroroha kuruta imfuruka ya D ifite inguni iboneka kumacupa menshi ya Brita.
Dispenser ya Brita ifite imbaraga zihagije zo guhaza amazi ya buri munsi yumuryango mugari, kandi robine yayo idashobora kumeneka yagenewe kuba yoroshye kandi yoroshye kubana gukoresha.
Dispenser ya Brita Ultramax ifite ibikombe bigera kuri 27 byamazi (ibikombe 18 mubigega byayunguruzo hamwe nibindi bikombe 9 kugeza 10 mubigega byuzuye byuzuye). Igishushanyo cyacyo cyoroheje kibika umwanya muri firigo, kandi robine ifunga nyuma yo gusuka kugirango birinde gutemba. Nuburyo bworoshye bwo guhora ufite ubukonje bwinshi, bwungurujwe mukiganza.
Dispenser ya LifeStraw Yageragejwe cyane kugirango ikureho ibintu byinshi byanduza, harimo na gurş, kandi akayunguruzo kayo ntigashobora kwihanganira gufunga kurusha ayandi mashusho yose twagerageje.
Twakoresheje LifeStraw Home Dispenser yo gushungura litiro 2,5 zamazi yanduye cyane, kandi mugihe umuvuduko wagabanutseho gato ugana kumpera, ntabwo yigeze ihagarika kuyungurura. Iki gicuruzwa nicyo twatoranije kubantu bose bahuye nayunguruzo rwamazi muyandi mashanyarazi, harimo nitorero ryambere, Brita Elite, cyangwa gushaka igisubizo cyamazi meza cyangwa yanduye. LifeStraw ifite kandi ibyemezo bine bya ANSI / NSF (chlorine, uburyohe n'impumuro, isasu, na mercure) kandi byageragejwe byigenga na laboratoire yemewe kugirango byuzuze ibipimo bitandukanye byogusukura ANSI / NSF.
Dexsorb muyunguruzi, yapimwe kubipimo bya NSF / ANSI, ifata neza ibintu byinshi byimiti ikomeza (PFAS), harimo PFOA na PFOS.
Cyclopure's Purefast filter ikoresha Dexsorb, ibikoresho bimwe bikoreshwa ninganda zimwe na zimwe zitunganya imiti ikuraho amazi (PFAS) mumazi rusange. Ikorana na keteti ya Brita dusabwa hamwe na dispenser. Irapimwe kuri litiro 65, muyungurura vuba mubizamini byacu, kandi ntigenda gahoro gahoro mugihe, nubwo nkayunguruzo yagaburiwe imbaraga zose, irashobora gufunga niba amazi yawe arimo imyanda myinshi. Akayunguruzo kandi kaza mu ibahasha yishyuwe mbere; ohereza akayunguruzo kawe usubire muri Cyclopure, kandi isosiyete izongera kuyitunganya muburyo bwangiza PFAS iyo ari yo yose ifata kugirango idasubira inyuma mubidukikije. Brita ubwayo ntabwo isaba iyungurura ryabandi, ariko urebye ko byombi byungurura Purefast hamwe nibikoresho bya Dexsorb ari NSF / ANSI byemewe kugabanya PFAS, twabasaba dufite ikizere. Menya ko ifata gusa PFAS na chlorine. Niba ufite izindi mpungenge, hitamo Brita Elite;
Nagerageje gushungura amazi ya Wirecutter kuva mu 2016. Kuri raporo, nagiranye ibiganiro birebire na NSF hamwe n’ishyirahamwe ry’ubuziranenge bw’amazi, ibigo bibiri binini byungurura amazi muri Amerika, kugira ngo nsobanukirwe uburyo bwo gupima. Nabajije abahagarariye inganda nyinshi zungurura amazi kugirango menye ibyo basaba. Nakoresheje amazi menshi muyungurura nibibindi mumyaka myinshi kuko muri rusange kuramba, koroshya nigiciro cyo kubungabunga, no koroshya imikoreshereze nibyingenzi kubintu bikoreshwa inshuro nyinshi kumunsi.
John Holecek wahoze ari umuhanga mu buyobozi bw’inyanja n’ikirere (NOAA) yakoze ubushakashatsi kandi yandika verisiyo yabanjirije iki gitabo, akora ibizamini bye bwite, anatanga ubundi bushakashatsi bwigenga.
Aka gatabo kagenewe abashaka akayunguruzo k’amazi kayunguruzo (imwe ikusanya amazi muri robine ikayifata muri firigo).
Ubwiza bwa kayunguruzo ni byoroshye gukoresha. Wuzuza gusa amazi ya robine hanyuma utegereze kuyungurura gukora. Mubisanzwe ntibihendutse: gushungura muyungurura (mubisanzwe bigomba gusimburwa buri mezi abiri) mubisanzwe bitwara amadorari 15.
Bafite inenge nke. Zifite akamaro mukurwanya umwanda muke kuruta iyungurura munsi ya sink cyangwa munsi ya robine kuko zishingiye kuburemere aho gushingira kumuvuduko wamazi, bisaba gushungura munsi.
Gukoresha imbaraga za rukuruzi bisobanura kandi ko akayunguruzo ka keteti gahoro: kuzuza amazi ava mu kigega cyo hejuru bifata hagati yiminota 5 na 15 kugirango unyure muyungurura, kandi akenshi bisaba kwuzura byinshi kugirango ubone ikibindi cyuzuye cyamazi meza.
Akayunguruzo k'isafuriya akenshi iba yuzuyemo imyanda iva mu mazi ya robine cyangwa ndetse n'uduce duto duto two mu kirere dukora mu byuma bya moteri hanyuma tugafatwa.
Kubera izo mpamvu, turasaba gushiraho akayunguruzo munsi yumwobo cyangwa kuri robine niba ibintu bibyemereye.
Muri Amerika, amazi rusange agengwa n’ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije (EPA) hashingiwe ku itegeko ry’amazi meza yo kunywa, kandi amazi ava mu nganda zitunganya amazi rusange agomba kuba yujuje ubuziranenge bukomeye. Ariko, ntabwo ibintu byose bishobora kwanduza byateganijwe.
Byongeye kandi, umwanda urashobora kwinjira nyuma y’amazi avuye mu bihingwa bivura binyuze mu miyoboro yamenetse cyangwa (ku bijyanye n’isasu) mu kuva mu miyoboro ubwayo. Gutunganya amazi ku gihingwa (cyangwa kunanirwa kubikora) birashobora no gutuma imyanda itemba nabi, nkuko byagenze i Flint, muri Michigan.
Kugirango umenye icyo uwaguhaye asize inyuma, mubisanzwe urashobora kubona isoko ryibanze ryabatanga isoko rya EPA Raporo Yizere Yumuguzi (CCR) kumurongo. Bitabaye ibyo, abatanga amazi rusange basabwa gutanga CCR babisabwe.
Ariko kubera ubushobozi bwo kwanduza epfo, inzira yonyine yo kumenya neza ibiri mumazi y'urugo rwawe nukugerageza. Laboratoire yujuje ubuziranenge yamazi irashobora kuyigerageza, cyangwa urashobora gukoresha ibikoresho byo gupima murugo. Twasuzumye 11 muri zo kandi twatangajwe na Tap Score ya SimpleLab, yoroshye kuyikoresha kandi itanga raporo yuzuye, isobanutse yerekana ibihumanya, niba bihari, biri mumazi yawe.
Ikizamini cya SimpleLab Kanda amanota meza yo mumujyi meza atanga isesengura ryuzuye ryamazi yo kunywa hamwe nibisubizo byoroshye-gusoma.
Kugirango tumenye neza ko akayunguruzo k'amazi dusaba ko kwizerwa, duhora dushimangira ko amahitamo yacu yujuje ubuziranenge bwa zahabu: Icyemezo cya ANSI / NSF. Ikigo cy’Abanyamerika gishinzwe ubuziranenge (ANSI) n’ikigo cy’igihugu gishinzwe ubumenyi (NSF) ni imiryango yigenga, idaharanira inyungu ikorana n’ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije, abayikora, n’izindi mpuguke mu guteza imbere ubuziranenge bw’ibicuruzwa ibihumbi n’ibihumbi, birimo gushungura amazi, no gupima inzira.
Akayunguruzo kuzuza gusa ibipimo byemeza nyuma yo kurenza ubuzima bwabo buteganijwe no gukoresha ingero za "test" zanduye cyane kuruta amazi menshi.
Hano hari laboratoire ebyiri zingenzi zemeza koza amazi: imwe ni Laboratwari ya NSF indi ni Ishyirahamwe ry’amazi meza (WQA). Imiryango yombi yemerewe byimazeyo na ANSI hamwe n’inama y’ubuziranenge ya Kanada muri Amerika ya Ruguru kugira ngo ikore ibizamini bya ANSI / NSF.
Ariko nyuma yimyaka myinshi yo kujya impaka imbere, ubu twemeye kandi ikirego cyagutse "cyageragejwe kubipimo bya ANSI / NSF," ntabwo cyemejwe kumugaragaro, ariko kigomba kuba cyujuje ibisabwa: icya mbere, ikizamini gikozwe na laboratoire yigenga idakorwa na muyunguruzi; icya kabiri, laboratoire ubwayo ni ANSI cyangwa yemewe nandi mashyirahamwe yigihugu cyangwa imiryango itegamiye kuri leta gukora ibizamini bikomeye ukurikije ibipimo byashyizweho; icya gatatu, laboratoire yo gupima, ibisubizo byayo, nuburyo bwayo byatangajwe nuwabikoze. Icya kane, uwabikoze afite amateka maremare yo kubyara muyunguruzi. Inyandiko zerekanye umutekano, kwiringirwa, nukuri nkuko byasobanuwe.
Twakomeje kugabanya urugero muyungurura rwemejwe cyangwa ruhwanye nibura n’ibipimo bibiri by'ingenzi bya ANSI / NSF (Standard 42 na Standard 53, bikubiyemo chlorine n’ibindi byanduza “estetique”, hamwe n’ibyuma biremereye nka gurşide hamwe n’ibinyabuzima nka pesticide ). Ikigereranyo gishya 401 gikubiyemo "ibyuka bihumanya" nka farumasi igaragara cyane mumazi yo muri Amerika, kandi twita cyane kubayunguruzo hamwe niri tandukaniro.
Twatangiye tureba ibyamamare 10 kugeza 11-bikwirakwiza amazi, hamwe nogutanga ubushobozi bunini cyane cyane bubereye ingo zikoresha amazi menshi. (Ibigo byinshi bitanga kandi disipanseri ntoya kubantu badakeneye disikuru yuzuye.)
Twahise tugereranya ibisobanuro birambuye (harimo uburyo bwo gufata neza no guhumurizwa), koroshya kwishyiriraho no gusimbuza akayunguruzo, umwanya ikibindi na disipanseri bifata muri firigo, hamwe nubunini bwikigega cyo hejuru cyuzuye ugereranije nikigereranyo cya tank yo hepfo "yungurujwe" (hejuru yikigereranyo, nibyiza, kubera ko uzabona amazi yungurujwe igihe cyose ukoresheje robine).
Muri 2016, twakoze ibizamini byinshi murugo muyungurura byinshi kugirango tugereranye ibisubizo byacu hamwe nimpamyabumenyi ya ANSI / NSF nibisabwa nababikoze. John Holecek yapimye buri filteri yo gukuramo chlorine muri laboratoire. Kuburyo bubiri bwa mbere, twashizeho laboratoire yigenga yo kugerageza kuvanaho ikiyobora dukoresheje ibisubizo bifite urwego rwo hejuru rwanduye rwanduye kuruta NSF isaba muri protocole yicyemezo.
Umwanzuro wingenzi duhereye mubizamini byacu nuko icyemezo cya ANSI / NSF cyangwa icyemezo gihwanye nicyitegererezo cyizewe cyo gupima imikorere ya filteri. Ntabwo bitangaje urebye imiterere ikaze yubuziranenge. Kuva icyo gihe, twashingiye ku cyemezo cya ANSI / NSF cyangwa icyemezo gihwanye kugirango tumenye imikorere ya filteri yatanzwe.
Igeragezwa ryacu ryakurikiyeho ryibanda kumikoreshereze yisi-nyayo, kimwe nibintu-nyabyo biranga isi nibitagenda neza nyuma yo gukoresha ibyo bicuruzwa igihe kirekire.
Iyi moderi ifite ibyemezo birenga 30 bya ANSI / NSF, birenze gushungura mubyiciro byayo, kandi byateguwe mumezi atandatu yo gusimbuza intera. Ariko nkibiyungurura byose, birashobora gufungwa.
Akayunguruzo k'amazi ya Brita Elite (yahoze yitwa Longlast +) ni ANSI / NSF yemerewe gukuraho ibintu birenga 30 byanduye (PDF), birimo gurş, mercure, microplastique, asibesitosi, na PFAS ebyiri zisanzwe: acide perfluorooctanoic (PFOA) na aside octane sulfonique (PFOS) ). Ibyo bituma iba ibyemewe byemewe cyane byayungurujwe twagerageje, kandi turasaba abashaka amahoro yumutima.
Byemejwe gukuraho ibindi byinshi bihumanya. Muri ibyo bihumanya harimo chlorine (yongewe ku mazi kugirango igabanye bagiteri nizindi ndwara ziterwa na virusi, ari nayo mpamvu nyamukuru itera “uburyohe bubi” mu mazi ya robine), ibinyabuzima bihindagurika bishobora kwangiza umwijima, ndetse n’ubwoko bwinshi “bugaragara”; hamenyekanye ibice nka bispenol A (BPA), DEET (imiti yica udukoko dusanzwe), na estrone, uburyo bwa sintetike ya estrogene.
Mugihe ibibindi byinshi bifite akayunguruzo k'amazi bigomba gusimburwa buri litiro 40 cyangwa amezi abiri, akayunguruzo k'amazi Elite kamara litiro 120 cyangwa amezi atandatu. Mubyigisho, bivuze ko ukeneye gukoresha gusa Elite ebyiri zungurura amazi mumwaka aho kuba esheshatu - gukora imyanda mike no kugabanya amafaranga yo gusimburwa hafi 50%.
Kubibindi byungurura, bikora vuba cyane. Mu bizamini byacu, kuzuza byuzuye Elite muyunguruzi byatwaye iminota 5-7 gusa. Ibisa-binini byungurura twagerageje bifata igihe kirekire - akenshi iminota 10 cyangwa irenga.
Ariko hariho ikibazo. Kimwe hafi ya byose byayunguruzo, Elite ikunda gufunga, irashobora kugabanya umuvuduko cyangwa guhagarika kuyungurura, bivuze ko ugomba kuyisimbuza kenshi. Abakoresha benshi binubiye iki kibazo, kandi mugupima kwacu, Elite yatangiye kugenda gahoro mbere yuko igera kuri 120-gallon. Niba ufite ikibazo cyimyanda mumazi yawe ya robine (akenshi ni ikimenyetso cyumuyoboro wangiritse), ushobora kuba uhura nikintu kimwe.
Kandi ntushobora gukenera uburinzi bwa Elite. Niba ufite ikizere ko amazi yawe meza ari meza (urashobora kubwira hamwe nugupima urugo), turasaba ko twazamura icyayi cyibanze cya Brita hamwe nayungurura amazi. Ifite gusa ibyemezo bitanu bya ANSI / NSF (PDF), harimo chlorine (ariko ntabwo iyobora, ibinyabuzima, cyangwa ibyanduye bihumanya), bikaba bike cyane ugereranije na Elite. Ariko ni bihenze cyane, bidafite akayunguruzo gashobora kunoza uburyohe bwamazi yawe.
Biroroshye gushakisha mugihe ushyira muyunguruzi ya Brita. Ubwa mbere, akayunguruzo gasa nkaho kanyuze ahantu hizewe bihagije. Ariko mubyukuri bisaba gusunikwa kugirango ubone inzira zose. Niba udasunitse hasi, amazi adafunguye arashobora kuva kumpande zayunguruzo mugihe wujuje ikigega cyo hejuru, bivuze ko amazi yawe "ayungurujwe" atazaba mubyukuri sohoka. Amwe muyungurura twaguze kubizamini 2023 nayo yari akeneye guhagarikwa kugirango umwanya muremure kuruhande rumwe rwa filteri unyerera hejuru yumusozi uhuye mubibindi bimwe bya Brita. .
