Tumaze imyaka isaga 120 dukora ubushakashatsi no kugerageza ibicuruzwa byigenga. Niba uguze ibicuruzwa binyuze mumihuza yacu, dushobora kubona komisiyo. Wige byinshi kubyerekeye gahunda yo gusuzuma.
Niba wishingikirije kumazi ya robine kugirango uyumunsi, birashobora kuba igihe cyo gushungura akayunguruzo k'amazi mugikoni cyawe. Akayunguruzo k'amazi kagenewe kweza amazi ukuraho umwanda wangiza nka chlorine, gurş na pesticide, hamwe nurwego rwo kuyikuramo iratandukanye bitewe nuburyo bugoye bwo kuyungurura. Barashobora kandi kunoza uburyohe bwamazi, hamwe na hamwe, birasobanutse neza.
Kugirango ubone akayunguruzo keza k'amazi, abahanga bo mu kigo cyiza cyo kubungabunga urugo baragerageje neza banasesengura amazi arenga 30. Akayunguruzo k'amazi dusubiramo hano harimo akayunguruzo k'amazi yo munzu yose, munsi yayungurura amazi, ibibindi byungurura amazi, amacupa yungurura amazi, hamwe nayungurura amazi.
Mugusoza iki gitabo, urashobora kwiga byinshi kubyerekeranye nuburyo dusuzuma akayunguruzo k'amazi muri laboratoire yacu, kimwe nibintu byose ukeneye kumenya bijyanye no kugura akayunguruzo keza. Urashaka kongera amazi yawe mugihe cyurugendo? Reba ubuyobozi bwacu kumacupa meza yamazi.
Gusa fungura igikanda hanyuma ugere kumezi atandatu y'amazi yungurujwe. Sisitemu yo kuyungurura munsi ya sink ikuraho chlorine, ibyuma biremereye, cysts, ibyatsi byica udukoko, imiti yica udukoko, ibinyabuzima bihindagurika nibindi byinshi. Iki gicuruzwa nacyo gikoreshwa mu rugo rwa Dr. Birnur Aral, wahoze ayobora Laboratwari ya Laboratwari y'Ubuzima, Ubuzima na Sustainability.
Agira ati: "Nkoresha amazi yungurujwe hafi ya byose kuva guteka kugeza ikawa, kugirango akayunguruzo k'amazi ntikankore." Ati: “Ibi bivuze ko nta mpamvu yo kuzuza amacupa y'amazi cyangwa ibikoresho.” Ifite umuvuduko mwinshi ariko bisaba kwishyiriraho.
Imwe mumashanyarazi yo hejuru, filteri ya Brita Longlast + ikuraho umwanda urenga 30 nka chlorine, ibyuma biremereye, kanseri, abangiza endocrine, nibindi byinshi. Twishimiye kuyungurura byihuse, bifata amasegonda 38 gusa mugikombe. Ugereranije nuwayibanjirije, imara amezi atandatu aho kuba abiri kandi ntisize ibibara byirabura bya karubone mumazi.
Rachel Rothman, wahoze ari umuyobozi mukuru w’ikoranabuhanga akaba n’umuyobozi mukuru ushinzwe tekinike mu kigo cy’ubushakashatsi cya GH, akoresha iki kibindi mu muryango we w’abantu batanu. Akunda uburyohe bwamazi no kuba atagomba guhindura akayunguruzo kenshi. Ikibi gito ni uko gukaraba intoki bisabwa.
Mu buryo butazwi nka "umutwe woguswera wa interineti," nta gushidikanya ko Jolie yabaye umwe mu mitwe yo kwiyuhagira izwi cyane ku isi, cyane cyane kubera igishushanyo cyayo cyiza. Igeragezwa ryinshi ryurugo ryemeje ko rihuye nibisakuzo. Bitandukanye nandi mashusho yo kwiyuhagira twagerageje, Jolie Filter Showerhead ifite igishushanyo kimwe gisaba imbaraga nke zo gushiraho. Jacqueline Saguin, wahoze ari umwanditsi mukuru w’ubucuruzi muri GH, yavuze ko byamutwaye iminota 15 yo gushiraho.
Twasanze ifite ubushobozi bwiza bwa filteri ya chlorine. Akayunguruzo kayo karimo uruvange rwa KDF-55 na calcium sulfate, ibyo biranga bavuga ko ari byiza kuruta ibiyungurura bisanzwe bya karubone mu gufata umwanda mu mazi ashyushye kandi y’umuvuduko mwinshi. Nyuma y’umwaka hafi yo gukoresha, Sachin yabonye “ubwiyongere buke hafi y’amazi yo kogeramo,” yongeraho ko “amazi yoroshye adatakaza igitutu.”
Wibuke ko umutwe woguswera ubwawo uhenze, nkigiciro cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo.
Iki kibindi gito ariko gikomeye cyikirahure cyamazi yungurura ipima ibiro 6 gusa iyo byuzuye. Nibyoroshye kandi byoroshye gufata no gusuka mubizamini byacu. Iraboneka kandi muri plastiki, itezimbere uburyohe nubusobanuro bwamazi. Menya ko ugomba kuzuza kenshi kuko ifata ibikombe 2,5 gusa byamazi ya robine kandi twasanze kuyungurura buhoro.
Byongeye kandi, iyi nkongoro ikoresha ubwoko bubiri bwa filteri: micro membrane filter hamwe na carbone ikora ya filteri hamwe na ion ihindura. Isuzuma ryacu ryerekana amakuru y’ikigereranyo cya gatatu cy’ibizamini bya laboratoire yemeza ko rikuraho umwanda urenga 30, harimo chlorine, microplastique, imyanda, ibyuma biremereye, VOC, abahungabanya endocrine, imiti yica udukoko, imiti, E. coli, na cysts.
Brita ni ikirango gihora gikora neza mubizamini bya laboratoire. Ikizamini kimwe yavuze ko bakunda icupa ryurugendo kuko bashobora kuzuza ahantu hose kandi bakamenya ko amazi yabo aryoshye. Icupa riza mubyuma cyangwa plastike - abapima ubushakashatsi basanze icupa ryikuta ryuzuye ibyuma icupa ryamazi yatumaga amazi akonja kandi meza umunsi wose.
Iraboneka kandi mubunini bwa 26-une (ihuza abafite ibikombe byinshi) cyangwa ubunini bwa 36-ounci (ibyo bikaba byoroshye mugihe ukora urugendo rurerure cyangwa udashobora kuzuza amazi buri gihe). Byubatswe mu gutwara ibintu nabyo byoroshye gutwara. Abakoresha bamwe bagaragaje ko igishushanyo cyibyatsi bituma bigorana kunywa.
Brita Hub yatsindiye igihembo cya GH Kitchenware nyuma yo gushimisha abacamanza bacu hamwe n’ikwirakwizwa ry’amazi yohereza amazi mu ntoki cyangwa mu buryo bwikora. Uruganda ruvuga ko akayunguruzo gashobora gusimburwa nyuma y'amezi atandatu. Icyakora, Nicole Papantoniou, umuyobozi wa Laboratoire yo mu gikoni na Laboratwari yo mu kigo cya GH, akeneye gusimbuza akayunguruzo buri mezi arindwi.
Ati: “Ifite ubushobozi bunini kuburyo utazongera kuyuzuza kenshi. [Nkunda] gusuka mu buryo bwikora kuko nshobora kugenda igihe cyuzuye ”, Papantoniou. Ni izihe nenge abahanga bacu bavuga? Mugihe icyerekezo gitukura cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo ibintu kimurika, gihagarika gukora. Gusa menya neza ko ufite izindi filteri zihari.
Ikibindi kinini cya Larq PurVis kirashobora gushungura umwanda urenga 45 nka microplastique, ibyuma biremereye, VOC, abahungabanya endocrine, PFOA na PFOS, imiti nibindi. Isosiyete kandi iratera indi ntera ikoresha urumuri rwa UV kugirango idakora bagiteri E. coli na salmonella zishobora kwirundanyiriza mu bibindi byungurura amazi mugihe zungurura chlorine.
Mu kugerageza, twakunze ko porogaramu ya Larq yoroshye kuyikoresha kandi ko ikurikirana igihe ukeneye guhindura muyungurura, kubwibyo rero nta gukeka birimo. Isuka neza, ntisuka, kandi ni ibikoresho byoza ibikoresho, usibye uruti ruto rushobora kwishyurwa twasanze byoroshye gukaraba intoki. Nyamuneka Icyitonderwa: muyunguruzi irashobora kuba ihenze kuruta iyindi muyunguruzi.
Iyo ubucuruzi burangiye, urashobora kwerekana ishema iki kayunguruzo k'amazi kumeza yawe hamwe nuburyo bwiza kandi bugezweho. Ntabwo igaragara gusa nigishushanyo cyayo kidasanzwe, ariko ibyiza byacu tunakunda ko imiterere yikirahure cyamasaha yoroshye kuyifata.
Muyungurura chlorine hamwe nibyuma bine biremereye, harimo kadmium, umuringa, mercure na zinc, binyuze mumashusho ya cone yihishe neza hejuru ya carafe. Abanyamwuga bacu basanze byoroshye gushiraho, kuzuza no gusuka, ariko bisaba gukaraba intoki.
Umuyobozi wa GH's Home Improvement and Outdoor Lab, Dan DiClerico yagize ati: "Biroroshye gushyiramo, bihendutse kandi bipimwa ku bipimo bya ANSI 42 na 53, bityo rero byungurura mu buryo bwizewe ibintu byinshi byanduza." Yakunze cyane cyane igishushanyo no kuba Culligan ari ikirango cyamenyekanye.
Akayunguruzo kagufasha guhinduranya byoroshye kuva mumazi adafunguye ukajya mumazi uyungurura ukurura gusa valve ya bypass, kandi nta bikoresho bisabwa kugirango ushire akayunguruzo kuri robine yawe. Iyungurura chlorine, imyanda, isasu nibindi. Ikibi kimwe nuko ikora robine bulkier.
Mu kigo cyiza cyo kubungabunga urugo, itsinda ryacu ryaba injeniyeri, abahanga mu bya shimi, abasesengura ibicuruzwa ninzobere mu guteza imbere urugo bakorera hamwe kugirango bamenye akayunguruzo keza k'urugo rwawe. Mu myaka yashize, twagerageje gushungura amazi arenga 30 kandi dukomeza gushakisha uburyo bushya ku isoko.
Kugerageza gushungura amazi, turasuzuma ubushobozi bwabo, uburyo byoroshye gushiraho, kandi (niba bishoboka) uburyo byoroshye kuzuza. Kugirango bisobanutse, dusoma kandi buri gitabo cyamabwiriza hanyuma tukareba niba ikibindi cyerekana koza ibikoresho. Turagerageza ibintu bikora nkuburyo ikirahure cyamazi yungurura amazi kandi tugapima amazi ikigega cyamazi gishobora gufata.
Tugenzura kandi ibirego byo gukuraho ikizinga dushingiye kumibare yabandi. Mugihe cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo kuri gahunda yabashinzwe gukora, dusubiramo buri muyunguruzi igihe cyo kubaho no kuyungurura ibiciro buri mwaka.
✔️ Ubwoko nubushobozi: Mugihe uhisemo ibibindi, amacupa nibindi bikoresho bifata amazi yungurujwe, ugomba gutekereza ubunini nuburemere. Ibikoresho binini ni byiza cyane kugabanya ibyuzuye, ariko bikunda kuba biremereye kandi birashobora gufata umwanya munini muri firigo yawe cyangwa mugikapu yawe. Moderi ya konttop ibika umwanya wa firigo kandi irashobora gufata amazi menshi, ariko bisaba umwanya wa konte kandi ikoresha amazi yubushyuhe bwicyumba.
Hamwe namazi yungurura amazi, akayunguruzo ka robine, akayunguruzo koga hamwe nayunguruzo rwinzu yose, nta mpamvu yo guhangayikishwa nubunini cyangwa ubushobozi kuko bishungura amazi akimara gutemba.
TypeFiltration Ubwoko: Twabibutsa ko muyunguruzi nyinshi zirimo ubwoko bwinshi bwo kuyungurura kugirango ikureho umwanda utandukanye. Moderi zimwe zirashobora gutandukana cyane mubihumanya bakuramo, nibyiza rero kugenzura icyo moderi yungurura mubyukuri kugirango urebe ko ihuje nibyo ukeneye. Inzira yizewe cyane yo kumenya ibi nukugenzura ibipimo bya NSF muyunguruzi byemewe. Kurugero, ibipimo bimwe bikubiyemo isasu gusa, nka NSF 372, mugihe ibindi nabyo bikubiyemo uburozi bwubuhinzi ninganda, nka NSF 401. Byongeye kandi, dore uburyo butandukanye bwo kuyungurura amazi:
Akayunguruzo Gusimbuza Inshuro: Reba inshuro ukeneye guhindura muyungurura. Niba ufite ubwoba bwo guhindura akayunguruzo cyangwa wibagiwe kuyisimbuza, urashobora gushaka gushakisha igihe kirekire. Byongeye kandi, niba ugura kwiyuhagira, ikibindi, hamwe nuwungurura, ugomba kwibuka gusimbuza buriyungurura kugiti cyawe, birashobora rero kuba byiza usuzumye akayunguruzo k'inzu yose kuko uzakenera gusimbuza akayunguruzo kamwe inzu yawe yose.
Ntakibazo cyayungurura amazi wahisemo, ntacyo bizakora niba utagisimbuye nkuko byasabwe. Aral agira ati: “Gukora neza muyungurura amazi biterwa n'ubwiza bw'isoko y'amazi ndetse n'incuro uhindura muyungurura.” Moderi zimwe zifite ibikoresho byerekana, ariko niba icyitegererezo kidafite icyerekezo, gutinda buhoro cyangwa ibara ritandukanye ryamazi nikimenyetso cyuko akayunguruzo gakeneye gusimburwa.
Igiciro: Reba igiciro cyambere cyayunguruzo cyamazi nigiciro cyo kuyuzuza. Akayunguruzo k'amazi karashobora kugura byinshi muburyo bwambere, ariko igiciro ninshuro zo gusimburwa birashobora kugukiza amafaranga mugihe kirekire. Ariko ibi ntabwo buri gihe bigenda, bityo rero menya neza kubara amafaranga yo gusimbuza buri mwaka ukurikije gahunda isabwa yo gusimburwa.
Kubona amazi meza yo kunywa nikibazo cyisi yose yibasira abaturage muri Amerika yose. Niba utazi neza ubwiza bw’amazi yawe, Itsinda rishinzwe Ibidukikije (EWG) ryavuguruye ububiko bw’amazi yo mu 2021. Ububikoshingiro ni ubuntu, biroroshye gushakisha, kandi bukubiyemo amakuru kuri leta zose.
Injira kode yawe cyangwa ushakishe leta yawe kugirango ubone amakuru arambuye kubyerekeye ubwiza bwamazi yawe yo kunywa ukurikije amahame ya EWG, akomeye kuruta amahame ya leta. Niba amazi yawe ya robine arenze amabwiriza yubuzima bwa EWG, urashobora gushaka kugura akayunguruzo k'amazi.
Guhitamo amazi yamacupa nigisubizo cyigihe gito cyamazi yo kunywa ashobora kuba adafite umutekano, ariko bitera ikibazo kinini ningaruka zikomeye zigihe kirekire ziterwa no kwanduza. Buri mwaka Abanyamerika bajugunya toni zigera kuri miliyoni 30 za plastiki buri mwaka, muri zo 8% gusa ni zo zongera gukoreshwa. Byinshi muri byo birangirira mu myanda kuko hari amategeko menshi atandukanye yerekeye ibishobora gutunganywa. Ibyiza byawe ni ugushora muyungurura amazi hamwe nicupa ryamazi meza, rishobora gukoreshwa - ndetse bamwe bafite akayunguruzo.
Iyi ngingo yanditswe kandi igeragezwa na Jamie (Kim) Ueda, umusesenguzi wibicuruzwa byungurura amazi (numukoresha usanzwe!). Ni umwanditsi wigenga kabuhariwe mu gupima ibicuruzwa no gusuzuma. Kuri uru rutonde, yagerageje gushungura amazi menshi kandi akorana ninzobere muri laboratwari nziza yikigo cyita ku rugo: Ibikoresho byo mu gikoni & Udushya, Gutezimbere Urugo, Hanze, Ibikoresho & Ikoranabuhanga;
Nicole Papantoniou avuga kubyoroshye byo gukoresha inkongoro n'amacupa. Dr. Bill Noor Alar yafashije gusuzuma ibisabwa byo gukuraho umwanda buri kimwe mubisubizo byacu. Dan DiClerico na Rachel Rothman batanze ubuhanga bwo gushungura.
Jamie Ueda numuhanga mubicuruzwa byabaguzi bafite imyaka irenga 17 yo gushushanya ibicuruzwa nuburambe bwo gukora. Yagiye mu myanya y'ubuyobozi mu masosiyete aciriritse y’ibicuruzwa by’umuguzi ndetse nimwe mu bicuruzwa bizwi cyane kandi binini ku isi. Jamie agira uruhare muri laboratwari nyinshi za GH Institute zirimo ibikoresho byo mu gikoni, itangazamakuru n'ikoranabuhanga, imyenda n'ibikoresho byo mu rugo. Mu gihe cye cy'ikiruhuko, akunda guteka, gutembera no gukina siporo.
Gukora neza Inzu yitabira gahunda zitandukanye zo kwamamaza zishamikiyeho, bivuze ko dushobora kubona komisiyo zishyuwe kubicuruzwa byatoranijwe byahinduwe byaguzwe binyuze mumihuza kurubuga rwabacuruzi.
