Igurishwa rya Amazon mu kwezi kwa cumi rirakomeje. Kugira ngo ubone andi masezerano ya Wirecutter akwiye kugurwa, reba urutonde rwacu rw'amasezerano meza ya Prime Day.
Umuntu wese unywa litiro zirenga nke z'amazi yo kunywa ku munsi ashobora kunyurwa cyane n'uburyo bwo kuyungurura amazi munsi y'amazi nka Aquasana AQ-5200. Bitandukanye n'ikibindi, akayunguruzo ka munsi y'amazi gatanga amazi ahoraho igihe cyose abikeneye. Turasaba Aquasana AQ-5200 kuko ibyemezo byayo ari byo byiza kurusha ubundi buryo bwose twabonye; birimo (nk'ibindi bisubizo byacu hano) chlorine, lisansi, mercure, PFAS, ubwoko butandukanye bw'imiti yica udukoko, na microplastics.
Aquasana AQ-5200 ifite icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF kandi ishobora gukuraho ibintu byinshi byanduye, harimo lisansi, mercure, imiti yica udukoko, mikoroplastike, imiti n'ibindi bikoresho bike bishobora gufatwa n'abanywanyi bake. Ni imwe muri filter nke zemewe kuba zirimo PFOA na PFOS, imiti ibiri idashira ihangayikishije Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije.
Igiciro cyo gusimbuza urusenda rw'amafiriti ni hafi $60, cyangwa $120 ku mwaka, hashingiwe ku gihe cy'amezi atandatu Aquasana isaba gusimbuza. Kandi iyi sisitemu ni nini gato ugereranyije n'amacupa make ya soda, bityo ntifata umwanya munini w'agaciro munsi y'igikoni. Ifite ibikoresho by'icyuma byiza kandi robine ziboneka mu buryo butandukanye.
AO Smith AO-US-200 isa na Aquasana AQ-5200 mu buryo bwose bw'ingenzi. (Ibyo ni ukubera ko AO Smith yaguze Aquasana mu 2016.) Ifite imiterere imwe y'igiciro, ibikoresho by'icyuma byose, n'imiterere nto, ariko kubera ko igurishwa muri Lowe's gusa, ntabwo iboneka cyane kandi robine zayo zifite iherezo rimwe gusa. : nikeli yometse. Ibiciro byo gusimbuza filter birangana: hafi $60 kuri seti, cyangwa $120 ku mwaka ku mezi atandatu asabwa na AO Smith.
Ifite ibyemezo byiza cyane nk'ibya AQ-5200, hamwe n'ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura no kuyungurura bwinshi kurusha AQ-5200, hamwe n'akayunguruzo ko gukuraho ingese.
Aquasana AQ-5300+ Max Flow ifite ibyemezo byiza nk'ibyo twahisemo cyane, ariko itanga amazi menshi (0.72 gpm ugereranyije na 0.5 gpm) n'ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura (800 gpm ugereranyije na 500). Ibi bituma iba amahitamo meza ku ngo zikeneye amazi menshi yayunguruwe kandi zigashaka vuba bishoboka. Yongeraho kandi akayunguruzo ka mbere y'amazi AQ-5200 idafite; ibi bishobora kwagura akayunguruzo kanduye ku muvuduko mwinshi w'amazi mu ngo zifite amazi menshi yavuye mu mazi. Ariko, AQ-5300+ (ifite akayunguruzo kangana n'icupa rya litiro eshatu) ni nini cyane kurusha AQ-5200, kandi ikiguzi cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo ni kinini gato (hafi $80 kuri seti cyangwa $160 ku mwaka).
Ishyirwamo nta gucukura kandi itanga amazi ayunguruye agera kuri litiro 1.5 ku munota binyuze mu miyoboro isanzwe.
Claryum Direct Connect ya Aquasana ihuza neza na robine zisanzwe, bigatuma iba amahitamo meza cyane ku bakodesha (bashobora kuba babujijwe kwimuka) ndetse n'abadashobora gushyiraho robine itandukanye. Ntabwo ari ngombwa ko ishyirwa ku rukuta rw'akabati kari munsi y'akabati, ihagaze ku ruhande rwayo gusa. Ifite icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF kimwe n'izindi modeli za Aquasana na AO Smith kandi ishobora gutanga litiro 1.5 z'amazi yayunguruwe ku munota. Iyi filtre ifite ubushobozi bwa litiro 784 kandi igomba kumara amezi atandatu. Ariko nta filtre ifite mbere yo kuyungurura. Kubwibyo, niba ufite ikibazo cy'ibumba, iyi si yo nzira nziza kuko ishobora kuziba byoroshye. Kandi ni nini—santimetero 20.5 x 4.5—bityo niba akabati kawe k'akabati ni gato cyangwa kuzuyemo abantu benshi, gashobora kutagakwira.
Ifite ibyemezo byiza cyane nk'ibya AQ-5200, hamwe n'ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura no kuyungurura bwinshi kurusha AQ-5200, hamwe n'akayunguruzo ko gukuraho ingese.
Ishyirwamo nta gucukura kandi itanga amazi ayunguruye agera kuri litiro 1.5 ku munota binyuze mu miyoboro isanzwe.
Kuva mu 2016 maze igihe ngerageza filters z'amazi za Wirecutter. Muri raporo yanjye, naganiriye birambuye n'ibigo byemeza filters kugira ngo ndumve uburyo isuzuma ryabo rikorwa, kandi nasuzumye amakuru rusange yabo kugira ngo nemeze ko ibirego by'abakora filters bishyigikiwe na: Isuzuma ryemewe. Naganiriye kandi n'abahagarariye abakora filters z'amazi benshi, barimo Aquasana / AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita na Pur, kugira ngo mpunge ibirego byabo. Ku giti cyanjye nagerageje amahitamo yacu yose kuko muri rusange kwizerwa, kuramba, no gukoresha neza ni ingenzi cyane ku gikoresho gikoreshwa inshuro nyinshi ku munsi.
Uwahoze ari umuhanga mu bya siyansi wa NOAA, John Holecek, yakoze ubushakashatsi anandika igitabo cya mbere cya Wirecutter water filter, akora isuzuma rye bwite, ashyiraho andi masuzuma ku giti cye, ananyigisha byinshi mu byo nzi. Akazi kanjye gashingiye ku byo yakoze.
Ikibabaje ni uko nta gisubizo rusange ku kibazo cyo kumenya niba ukeneye akayunguruzo k'amazi cyangwa utagakeneye. Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, amazi rusange agenzurwa n'Ikigo cya Amerika gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije hakurikijwe Itegeko ry'Amazi Asukuye, kandi amazi ava mu nganda zitunganya amazi rusange agomba kuba yujuje ibisabwa byose by'ubuziranenge. Ariko si imyanda yose ishobora kwanduza igenzurwa. Byongeye kandi, imyanda ishobora kwinjira mu mazi nyuma yo kuva mu ruganda, haba binyuze mu miyoboro ivamo amazi (PDF) cyangwa binyuze mu kuva mu miyoboro ubwayo. Gutunganya amazi bikorwa (cyangwa byirengagijwe) mu ruganda bishobora kongera kuva mu miyoboro iri munsi y'amazi, nk'uko byagenze i Flint, muri Michigan.
Kugira ngo umenye neza ibiri mu mazi y'umutanga serivisi, ubusanzwe ushobora gushakisha kuri interineti raporo y'icyizere cy'abaguzi yemewe na EPA y'umutanga serivisi wo mu gace utuyemo; bitabaye ibyo, abatanga serivisi z'amazi rusange bose basabwa kuguha CCR zabo igihe babisabye. Ariko kubera ko hari ubwandu bushobora kwanduzwa mu mazi, uburyo bwonyine bwo kumenya ibiri mu mazi yo mu rugo rwawe ni ukwishyura laboratwari y'amazi yo mu gace utuyemo kugira ngo igerageze.
Muri rusange, uko inzu yawe cyangwa abaturanyi bawe bashaje, ni ko ibyago byo kwanduzwa birushaho kwiyongera. Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije kivuga ko “amazu yubatswe mbere ya 1986 ashobora kuba afite imiyoboro y’amazi, ibikoresho byayo n’ibisundisha”—ibikoresho bishaje, byahoze ari ibintu bisanzwe kandi bitujuje amategeko agezweho. Imyaka yongera kandi amahirwe yo kwanduzwa kw’amazi yo munsi y’ubutaka ashaje n’inganda zari zisanzwe zigenzurwa, ibyo bikaba bishobora guteza akaga, cyane cyane iyo bihujwe no kwangirika kw’imiyoboro yo munsi y’ubutaka bitewe n’imyaka.
Niba umuryango wawe ukoresha amazi arenga litiro ebyiri cyangwa eshatu ku munsi, akayunguruzo k'amazi gashyirwa munsi y'amazi gashobora kuba amahitamo meza kuruta akayunguruzo k'amazi gashyirwa munsi y'amazi. Sisitemu zo mu mazi zitanga amazi asanzwe igihe cyose abikeneye, bikuraho gutegereza ko inzira yo kuyayungurura irangira nk'uko bigenda ku gasuku. Kuyungurura igihe bibaye ngombwa bivuze ko sisitemu yo mu mazi asanzwe ishobora gutanga amazi ahagije yo guteka—urugero, ushobora kuzuza inkono amazi asanzwe yo guteka makaroni, ariko ntuzigera ukenera kongera kuzuza agasuku kubera iyo mpamvu.
Ugereranije n’udukingirizo tw’amazi, udukingirizo tw’amazi dukoreshwa munsi y’amazi dukunda kugira ubushobozi bwinshi kandi tukamara igihe kirekire—ubusanzwe galoni magana menshi n’amezi atandatu cyangwa arenga ugereranije n’ingano ya galoni 40 z’udukingirizo twinshi tw’amazi dukoreshwa munsi y’amazi n’amezi abiri. Kubera ko udukingirizo tw’amazi dukoresha umuvuduko w’amazi aho gukoresha imbaraga z’uburemere kugira ngo dusunike amazi muri aka gakingirizo, udukingirizo twatwo dushobora kuba twinshi bityo tugakuraho ubwoko bwinshi bw’ibintu bishobora kwanduza.
Ingorane ni uko bihenze cyane imbere kurusha amafiriti, kandi amafiriti asimbuza nayo ahenze cyane mu buryo bufatika kandi mu buryo busanzwe uko igihe kigenda gihita. Iyi sisitemu kandi ifata umwanya w’akabati munsi y’igikoni cyashoboraga gukoreshwa mu kubika.
Gushyiramo akayunguruzo kari munsi y’isahani bisaba gushyiraho amazi n’ibikoresho by’ibanze, ariko akazi koroshye gusa iyo isahani yawe ifite umwenge w’isahani itandukanye. Bitabaye ibyo, uzagomba gukuraho imwe mu miyoboro yubatswemo (disiki iri hejuru ku isahani y’icyuma cyangwa ikimenyetso ku isahani y’amabuye y’ubukorikori). Niba udafite umwobo wo gutobora, uzagomba gutobora umwobo mu isahani cyangwa ku meza niba isahani yawe idashyizwemo neza. Niba ufite icyuma gitanga isabune cyangwa imashini isuka intoki ku isahani yawe, ushobora kuyikuramo ugashyiraho isahani. (Ntugashyiremo isahani aho hari umwuka ufunze - ibi ni ukugira ngo wirinde ko amazi yanduye yoza yinjira mu isahani yoza amasahani.)
Hafi kimwe cya kabiri cy'amazi yose yo muri robine arimo imiti idakira. Dore uburyo bwo kumenya niba uri mu kaga no kugabanya ibyago byo kwandura.
Iyi mfashanyigisho ivuga ku bwoko bwihariye bwa filter munsi y’amazi: izikoresha filter ya cartridge. Zifata umwanya muto cyane kandi muri rusange zoroshye gushyiraho no kubungabunga. Zikoresha ibikoresho bikurura (ubusanzwe ni resins za karubone na ion zikoreshwa nka filters za pitcher) kugira ngo zifatanye kandi zigabanye imyanda. Inyinshi muri zo zishyirwa kuri robine itandukanye (zirimo), bivuze ko uzakenera umwobo wo gushyiramo kuri konteri; Umwobo wakoreweho imashini itera spray uzakora, cyangwa ushobora gucukura umwobo mushya. Ntabwo tuvuga ku filters zo gushyiramo robine, sisitemu ya reverse osmosis, cyangwa izindi pitchers cyangwa se dispenser z'amazi.
Kugira ngo tumenye neza ko dutanga inama ku byuma bifata amazi ushobora kwizera gusa, duhora dushimangira ko ibyo twatoranyije byemewe n’amahame ngenderwaho y’inganda: ANSI/NSF. Ikigo cy’Igihugu cy’Ubuziranenge cya Amerika na NSF International ni imiryango yigenga, idaharanira inyungu ikorana n’Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije, inganda n’izindi mpuguke kugira ngo hatezwe imbere amahame ngenderwaho y’ubuziranenge n’amabwiriza yo gupima ibicuruzwa ibihumbi, harimo n’ibyuma bifata amazi. Laboratwari ebyiri z’ingenzi zo kwemeza ibyuma bifata amazi ni NSF International ubwayo n’Ishyirahamwe ry’Ubuziranenge bw’Amazi (WQA). Ibicuruzwa byombi byemewe byuzuye na ANSI n’Inama Nkuru y’Ubuziranenge ya Kanada muri Amerika y’Amajyaruguru mu gupima ibyuma bifata amazi, kandi byombi bigomba kubahiriza amahame amwe n’amabwiriza yo gupima. Nyuma yo gukoresha ingero zateguwe z’ “ibizamini”, zari zanduye cyane kurusha amazi menshi yo mu robine, ni bwo ibyuma bifata amazi bimara igihe kirekire cyane kandi byujuje amahame ngenderwaho y’ibyemezo.
Muri iyi mfashanyigisho, tuzibanda ku byuma byemewe ko bifite chlorine, lead, na organic compounds (VOCs).
Icyemezo cya chlorine ni ingenzi kuko chlorine ari yo mpamvu ikunze kugaragara mu "mpumuro mbi" mu mazi ya robine. Ariko ibi ni byiza cyane: ubwoko bwose bwa filters z'amazi bufite icyemezo.
Kubona icyemezo cy’ubuziranenge bw’ubuziranenge biragoye kuko bivuze kugabanya ibisubizo bikungahaye kuri ubu buryo ku kigero kirenga 99%.
Icyemezo cya VOC nacyo kiragoye kuko bivuze ko akayunguruzo gashobora gukuraho ibintu birenga 50 by’umwimerere, harimo n’ibintu byinshi bikunze gukoreshwa mu buvuzi bw’ibinyabuzima n’ibindi bintu bikoreshwa mu nganda. Si ko akayunguruzo kose kari munsi y’amazi gafite ibyemezo byombi, bityo rero twibanda ku makayunguruzo afite ibyemezo byombi, twabonye akayunguruzo gakora neza cyane.
Twagabanyije ubushakashatsi bwacu cyane, duhitamo ibyuma biyungurura (filters) hamwe n’ibindi byangombwa bishya kuri ANSI/NSF 401, bikubiyemo ibintu bihumanya bikomeje kuboneka mu mazi muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, nk’imiti. Mu buryo nk’ubwo, si ibyuma byose biyungurura (filters) bifite ibyangombwa bingana na 401. Bityo, ibigo bifite ibyangombwa bingana na 401 (ndetse n’iby’uburobyi n’iby’uburobyi) biri mu itsinda ryatoranijwe neza.
Hanyuma, muri uru rwego rukomeye, dushaka ibicuruzwa bifite ubushobozi bwo gukora litiro 500. Ibi bingana n'amezi atandatu yo gukoresha litiro mu gihe cyo kuyungurura amazi (litiro 2.75 ku munsi). Aya mazi yayunguruwe arahagije ku ngo nyinshi mu kunywa no guteka buri munsi. (Abakora batanga gahunda yo gusimbuza litiro, akenshi mu mezi aho kuba litiro; dukurikiza izi nama mu bigereranyo byacu no mu mibare y'ibiciro. Turasaba ko buri gihe dukoresha ibice by'umwimerere by'abakora litiro aho gukoresha litiro z'abandi.)
Amaherezo, twapimye ikiguzi cya mbere cya sisitemu yose ugereranyije n'ikiguzi gihoraho cyo gusimbuza filters. Ntabwo twashyizeho igiciro cyangwa igipimo, ariko ubushakashatsi bwacu bwagaragaje ko nubwo ikiguzi cya mbere cyari hagati ya $100 na $1,250 naho ikiguzi cya filters kikaba hagati ya $60 na $300, iri tandukaniro ntiryatumye habaho imikorere myiza cyane. Moderi zihenze cyane. Twabonye filters nyinshi zidafite aho zihuriye n'amazi zigura munsi ya $200 ariko zigifite ibyemezo byiza kandi ziramba. Aba nibo bantu babaye aba mbere mu gusoza. Mu bindi bintu turimo gushaka:
Mu bushakashatsi bwacu, rimwe na rimwe twakiraga raporo z’amazi aturuka munsi y’amazi asohoka nabi aturutse ku bafite filters z’amazi zikoreshwa munsi y’amazi. Kubera ko filter ihujwe n’amazi akonje, iyo connector cyangwa iy’amazi yangiritse, amazi ashobora kuva kugeza igihe valve ifunze, bityo bishobora gufata amasaha cyangwa iminsi kugira ngo umenye ikibazo, bikakuviramo ingaruka zikomeye. Kwangirika kw’amazi. Ntabwo ari ibintu bisanzwe, ariko iyo urimo gutekereza kugura filters zikoreshwa munsi y’amazi, ugomba gusuzuma ingaruka zishobora kubaho. Niba waraguze, kurikiza amabwiriza yo kuyishyiraho witonze, witondere kugoreka connectors nabi, hanyuma usubize amazi buhoro buhoro kugira ngo urebe niba hari amazi asohoka. Kugira ngo wongere amahoro mu mutima (gukemura ibibazo byawe byose by’amazi, atari filters zikoreshwa munsi y’amazi gusa), tekereza gushyiraho icyuma gipima amazi gikoresheje ubwenge.
Utuyungurura two mu bwoko bwa reverse osmosis (R/O) mu ntangiriro tugira ubwoko bumwe bwa cartridge filter nk'ubwo twahisemo hano, ariko ongeramo uburyo bwa kabiri bwo kuyungurura osmosis: membrane ifite utwenge twinshi ituma amazi anyuramo ariko ikayungurura imyunyungugu yashongeshejwe n'ibindi bintu.
Dushobora kuganira ku byuma biyungurura bya R/O mu buryo burambuye mu nyigisho itaha. Aha turabyanga byimazeyo. Bifite inyungu nke mu mikorere yabyo ugereranyije n'ibyuma biyungurura amazi; bitanga amazi menshi yanduye (ubusanzwe galoni 4 z'amazi "yoza" kuri galoni imwe iyunguruye), mu gihe ibyuma biyungurura amazi bidatanga amazi yanduye; Bifata umwanya munini kuko, bitandukanye n'ibyuma biyungurura amazi, bikoresha ikigega cya galoni 1 cyangwa 2 kugira ngo bibike amazi yayunguruye; kandi bikora buhoro cyane ugereranije n'ibyuma biyungurura amazi munsi y'amazi.
Tumaze imyaka myinshi dupima amazi muri laboratwari, kandi ikintu cy'ingenzi twakuye mu isuzuma ryacu ni uko icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF ari ikimenyetso cyizewe cy'imikorere y'aya mavuta. Ibi ntibitangaje bitewe n'ubukana bukabije bw'ibizamini by'ibizamini. Kuva icyo gihe, twishingikirije ku cyemezo cya ANSI/NSF kugira ngo duhitemo abanywanyi aho kuba ibizamini byacu bike.
Mu 2018, twagerageje sisitemu izwi cyane yo kuyungurura amazi ya Big Berkey, itarimo icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF ariko ivuga ko yageragejwe cyane kugira ngo yuzuze amahame ya ANSI/NSF. Ubu bunararibonye bwakomeje gukomeza umurava wacu wo kwemeza ANSI/NSF by’ukuri no kutizera ibirego bya “ANSI/NSF Verified”.
Kuva icyo gihe, ndetse no mu 2019, isuzuma ryacu ryibanze ku buryo bwo gukoresha ibintu mu buryo bufatika n'imikorere yabyo ndetse n'intege nke zigaragara iyo ukoresha ibyo bikoresho.
Twahisemo Aquasana AQ-5200, izwi kandi nka Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Kugeza ubu ikintu cy'ingenzi ni uko filters zayo zifite certifications nziza za ANSI/NSF mu bahanganye bacu kuri chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercure, VOCs, "imyanda myinshi ituruka," microplastics, na PFOA na PFOS. Byongeye kandi, robines n'ibikoresho byazo bikozwe mu byuma biramba, biruta pulasitiki ikoreshwa n'abandi bakora. Byongeye kandi, sisitemu ni nto cyane. Amaherezo, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni imwe mu mahitamo meza twabonye ku filters ziri munsi y'amazi, aho sisitemu yose (filters, housing, robines, na hardwares) igura hafi $140 mbere cyangwa seti ebyiri z'filters zisimbura $60. Ibi ni bike ugereranije n'abandi bahanganye bafite certifications nke.
Icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF (PDF) kuri AQ-5200 Gikubiyemo chlorine, ikoreshwa mu kwica udukoko mu mazi yo mu mujyi kandi ni yo mpamvu ikomeye itera "impumuro mbi" mu mazi yo mu robine; icyuma cy'ubutare, gishobora kuva mu miyoboro ishaje no mu muyoboro w'amazi. ; mercure; Cryptosporidium ikora neza na Giardia, udukoko tubiri dushobora gutera; Chloramine ni umuti wica udukoko wa chlorine-ammonia ukomeza gukoreshwa cyane mu nganda ziyungurura mu majyepfo ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika. Chlorine nziza ibora vuba mu mazi ashyushye. AQ-5200 kandi yemejwe ko irwanya "imyanda" 15 igaragara cyane mu mazi, harimo BPA, ibuprofen na estrone (estrogen ikoreshwa mu kuboneza urubyaro), microplastics, ndetse na PFOA na PFOS, imvange zishingiye kuri fluoride mu nganda, ziboneka cyane mu mazi yo mu robine yo muri Amerika. Ifite kandi icyemezo cya VOC. Ibi bivuze ko ishobora gukuraho neza ibintu birenga 50 bitandukanye by'umwimerere, harimo imiti yica udukoko n'inganda zikoreshwa mu nganda.
Uretse resin ya karuboni ikora na iyoni (ikoreshwa mu byuma byinshi bicukura munsi y’amazi, niba atari byose), Aquasana ikoresha ubundi buryo bubiri bwo kuyungurura kugira ngo ihabwe icyemezo. Kuri chloramines, hongerwamo karuboni ikora, ni ukuvuga karuboni ikora, ikaba ifite imyenge bityo ikaba ishobora gukora neza, ikorwa no gutunganya karuboni ikoresheje umwuka ushyushye cyane. Kuri cryptosporidium na giardia, Aquasana ikora ibyuma bifite imyenge ingana na mikoroni 0.5, ikaba nto bihagije kugira ngo ifate neza.
Icyemezo cy’akayunguruzo ka Aquasana AQ-5200 ni cyo cyatumye tugihitamo. Ariko imiterere yacyo n’ibikoresho byacyo nabyo biragitandukanya n’ibindi. Robine ikozwe mu cyuma gikomeye, kimwe n’agace ka T gahuza akayunguruzo n’umuyoboro. Bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha pulasitiki kuri kimwe cyangwa byombi, bigabanya ikiguzi ariko byongera ibyago byo kwambuka buto no kuyishyiraho nabi. AQ-5200 ikoresha ibikoresho byo gukanda kugira ngo ikore agafunga gakomeye kandi gahamye hagati y’umuyoboro n’umuyoboro wa pulasitiki ujyana amazi kuri akayunguruzo no kuri robine. Bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha ibikoresho byoroshye, bitari ibyizerwa cyane. Robine ya AQ-5200 iboneka mu byiciro bitatu (nikeli ya brushed, chrome irangijwe n’umuringa urimo amavuta), mu gihe bamwe mu banywanyi batagira amahitamo.
Dukunda kandi uburyo bworoshye bwo gushyiramo ibikoresho bya AQ-5200. Ikoresha ibyuma bibiri binini, buri kimwe kinini gato kurusha agacupa ka soda; izindi mashini ziyungurura, harimo na Aquasana AQ-5300+ ziri hepfo, zagenewe amacupa ya litiro. Iyo mashini ifunguye ishyizwe ku gice cyo kuyishyiraho, AQ-5200 ifite uburebure bwa santimetero 10, ubugari bwa santimetero 10, na santimetero 10 z'ubujyakuzimu; Aquasana AQ-5300+ ifite santimetero 13 x 12 x 4. Ibi bivuze ko AQ-5200 ifata umwanya muto cyane w'akabati ko munsi y'amazi, bigatuma gashyirwa ahantu hato aho sisitemu nini zidashobora gushyirwaho, bigatuma hasigara umwanya munini wo kubika munsi y'amazi. Uzakenera umwanya wa santimetero 10 uhagaze (upimwe uhereye hejuru y'akabati ugana hepfo) kugira ngo usimbuze mashini ifunguye n'umwanya wa santimetero 10 ugororotse ku nkuta z'akabati kugira ngo ushyireho akabati.
AQ-5200 yahawe ibitekerezo byiza cyane nk'akayunguruzo k'amazi, yinjije inyenyeri 4.5 kuri 5 kuri 800 ku rubuga rwa Aquasana n'inyenyeri 4.5 kuri 500 ku rubuga rwa Home Depot.
Amaherezo, ku giciro cy’ubu kingana na $140 kuri sisitemu yose (ubusanzwe igura hafi $100) na $60 kuri seti y’ibikoresho byo gusimbuza (120 ku mwaka hamwe n’igihe cyo gusimbuza cy’amezi atandatu), Aquasana AQ-5200 niyo dushaka. Imwe mu biciro byiza cyane mu bahanganye kandi ihendutse cyane kurusha amwe mu mamodeli afite ibyangombwa bike. Iyi mashini ifite igihe cyo gusimbuza igihe iyo ukeneye guhindura icyuma, ariko turakugira inama yo gushyiraho uburyo bwo kwibuka kalendari kuri telefoni yawe. (Ntabwo ushobora kubura ibi.)
Ugereranyije n'abandi bahanganye, Aquasana AQ-5200 ifite igipimo cyo hasi cy'amazi (0.5 gpm ugereranije na 0.72 cyangwa irenga) n'ubushobozi buke (galoni 500 ugereranije na galoni 750 cyangwa irenga). Ibi ni ingaruka zitaziguye z'ingano nto y'akayunguruzo. Muri rusange, dutekereza ko izi nenge nto ziruta ingano yayo nto. Niba uzi ko ukeneye amazi menshi n'imikorere yayo, Aquasana AQ-5300+ ifite amanota 0.72 GPM na galoni 800 ariko ifite gahunda imwe yo gusimbuza akayunguruzo mu mezi atandatu, mu gihe Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect ifite igipimo cyo kugera kuri galoni 1.5 ku munota. , igipimo cyo hejuru cy'amazi ni galoni 1.5 ku munota, kugeza kuri galoni 784 n'amezi atandatu.
Amabwiriza y'imikorere ya sisitemu ya AQ-5200 ntasobanutse neza kandi bimwe mu bice ntibigaragara ku rutonde rw'ibice cyangwa ku mbonerahamwe. Ibi ntibizabangamira ba nyirabyo benshi. Muri make, icyo ugomba gukora ni uguhuza imiyoboro mike n'amazi n'amarobine, kandi byose bizasobanura neza. (Icyagaragaye ni imashini yo gukaraba ibyuma bitagira umugese, itagaragara ku rutonde; ibanza gushyirwa ku robine, igakurikirwa n'imashini yo gukaraba intoki.) Mu by'ukuri, dukurikije ibyo twabonye mu bushakashatsi bwacu. Ariko twizeye ko amabwiriza azavugururwa mu gihe kizaza. Hagati aho, dore videwo ya Aquasana ivuga uburyo bwo gushyiraho AQ-5200.
Nkuko byavuzwe haruguru mu gice cya How We Choose, filters z'amazi ziri munsi y'amazi (harimo na AQ-5200) rimwe na rimwe zirananirwa cyane, bigatera kwangirika gukomeye kw'amazi iyo ikibazo kidagaragaye kandi kigakosorwa vuba. Witondere cyane cyane mu gihe ushyiramo kandi ntushyiremo connectors zihuza amazi kandi urebe neza ko imiyoboro y'amazi irinzwe neza hanyuma usubize amazi buhoro buhoro kugira ngo ubashe kubona no gukosora imyanda mbere yuko ihinduka ibiza. Smart leak detectors zishobora kubona imyanda ikabije, hatitawe ku cyayiteye, mbere yuko itera ingaruka mbi cyane.
Kimwe n'izindi moderi zacu zose, Aquasana AQ-5200 iza ifite robine yayo yihariye, ishobora kutajyana n'uburyo bwawe. Ushobora kandi gushyiraho robine itandukanye wihitiyemo igihe cyose ingano y'aho robine ihurira ari santimetero 1.5. Ariko ugomba kugereranya umuvuduko wayo n'umuvuduko wa Aquasana wa 0.5 GPM kuko icyemezo cy'akayunguruzo gishingiye ku muvuduko w'amazi. Nyamuneka menya ko mu by'ukuri, gukoresha robine yawe bwite bivuze ko sisitemu yawe itagifite icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF.
Niba ukeka ko amazi yawe arimo ibisigazwa (ibara ry'umuhondo riterwa n'ingese ni ikimenyetso; ndetse n'uburambe bwa kera ku bwoko ubwo aribwo bwose bwa filter, harimo n'ibigega, biziba mbere y'igihe biteganijwe), ushobora kureba izindi filter zisa nazo. Aquasana AQ-5300 hamwe n'urundi filter mbere y'igihe.
Igurishwa nk'akayunguruzo k'amazi meza karubone gafite ibyiciro bibiri (bitegura kurumwa) gakoreshwa mu kuyungurura amazi munsi y'amazi, AO Smith AO-US-200 isa neza n'iya Aquasana AQ-5200 yo mu rwego rwo hejuru mu buryo bwose bw'ingenzi. Ifite ibyangombwa bimwe bya ANS/NSF (PDF), ingano imwe, ikoranabuhanga ryo kuyungurura, imiterere y'icyuma cyose, ibikoresho byo gukanda, igipimo cy'amazi cya 0.5 GPM, n'ubushobozi bwa litiro 500. Akenshi iza n'urufunguzo rusimbuza ku giciro kimwe. Nta kintu kibi kirimo: AO Smith yaguze Aquasana mu 2016 kandi, nk'uko umuvugizi wa AO Smith yabitubwiye, irimo "gukoresha" ubuhanga bwa Aquasana kandi nta gahunda ifite yo guhagarika ikirango cya Aquasana.
