Ntabwo twemera kwinjira. Izina ryawe ry'ukoresha rishobora kuba aderesi yawe ya imeri. Ijambobanga rigomba kuba rifite inyuguti 6-20 kandi rikagira nibura inomero 1 n'inyuguti.
Iyo uguze ukoresheje amahuza yacu y'abacuruzi ku rubuga rwacu, dushobora kubona komisiyo y'abafatanyabikorwa. 100% by'amafaranga dukusanya ashyigikira intego yacu idaharanira inyungu. Kugira ngo umenye byinshi.
Niba ikiguzi cy'amazi yo mu macupa (ku mufuka wawe n'ibidukikije) kiguhenze cyane, tekereza ku muyunguruzo w'amazi wo ku meza. Ku madolari 100 cyangwa munsi yayo, ushobora kugura umuyunguruzo wo ku meza ukuraho imyanda y'uburozi mu mazi yawe yo mu robine, ugakuramo umufuka wawe, isanduku y'imyanda, n'ibidukikije mu macupa ya pulasitiki yanduza.
Kimwe n’ibikoresho byo mu mazi bishyirwa ku robine, ibikoresho byo mu mazi bifatanya na robine ariko bigasohora amazi binyuze mu gakoresho gato ko gusukura ku ruhande rw’isafuriya gafite umunwa. Akenshi bihenda cyane kurusha ibikoresho byo mu mazi n’ibikoresho byo mu mazi kuko bitanga imbaraga zo kuyungurura amazi no gukoresha uburyo bwo gusukura amazi mu buryo butandukanye. Nanone ibuka ko ibikoresho byo gusimbuza ibikoresho byo mu mazi bishyirwa ku meza byari bihenze cyane kuruta ibikoresho byo gusimbuza ibikoresho byo mu mazi bishyirwa ku robine cyangwa ibikoresho byo mu mazi twagerageje.
Utwuma two ku meza ni amahitamo meza ku batuye mu mazu cyangwa abakodesha bashobora kuba badafite uburenganzira buturutse ku ba nyir'inzu bwo gushyiraho sisitemu ihujwe n'imiyoboro. Gushyiraho biroroshye: kura gusa icyuma gihumeka robine hanyuma ushyiremo twuma kuri robine. Iyo umaze gushyiraho, amazi menshi ashobora guhindurwa hagati y'amazi yayunguruwe n'adafite twuma, bigatuma twuma ryawe rimara igihe kirekire. Urugero, niba woza amasahani cyangwa ibimera byo kuhira, ushobora gukoresha amazi adafunguye.
Utwuma tw’amazi two ku meza dutandukanye cyane mu buryo dukuraho imyanda. Tumwe twica bagiteri na virusi, tugabanya PFAS, lisade na chlorine, naho utundi twuma tworoheje dushobora kunoza uburyohe no kugabanya impumuro mbi. Ntukishingikirize ku kwamamaza - uburyo bwonyine bwo kumenya niba akayunguruzo kagabanya imyanda runaka ni ukwemeza ko kemejwe na laboratwari izwi nka National Sanitation Foundation (NSF), Water Quality Association (WQA), Standards Canada, nibindi. . Ishyirahamwe (CSA) cyangwa Ishyirahamwe Mpuzamahanga ry’Abafundi n’Abakanishi (IAPMO). Ibicuruzwa byemejwe n’iyi miryango bipimwa buri gihe kandi bigakurikiranwa mu gihe runaka.
Mu manota yacu, tugaragaza ibyuma byemewe n'umwe muri iyi miryango kugira ngo bigabanya chlorine, lisansi, na PFAS. Iki cyemezo ntikigaragara mu bipimo byacu by'imikorere, bipima imikorere y'amazi, ubushobozi bwo kudafunga, n'uburyo icyuma gitera uburyohe n'impumuro nziza.
Ku madolari agera ku 1,200, Amway eSpring niyo firigo ihenze cyane y’amazi yo ku meza twagerageje, kandi iyi niyo mpamvu: Bitandukanye n’izindi firigo z’amazi, ikoresha urumuri rwa ultraviolet mu gusukura amazi hamwe no gutunganya karubone. (Amakarito asimbuza agura $259 ku mwaka, bityo nayo ntabwo ahendutse.) Ariko NSF yemejwe ko ikuraho PFOA, PFOS, lisansi, n’ibindi bintu bihumanya, birimo mercure, radon, asbestos, n’ibindi bintu bihumanya ikirere. Urumuri rwayo rwa ultraviolet rwagenewe kwica bagiteri na virusi. Yakoze neza mu bizamini byacu, igaragaza uburyohe bwiza n’impumuro nziza ndetse n’ubushobozi bwiza bwo gutemba, kandi icyuma cyayo cyo kuyungurura ntikizagufunga mu gihe cyose cy’ifirigo ya litiro 1,320 (ikimenyetso cy’iherezo ry’ubuzima kizagaragara igihe kirangiye). Mbwira igihe). Kubera ko ari yo firigo nini y’amazi twagerageje, ifata umwanya munini (ni nini kurusha Amazon Echo). Ariko niba amazi meza ari ingenzi kuri wewe, iyi firigo y’amazi ishobora kuba ikubereye.
Niba ukeneye ikintu gishobora kuyungurura amazi menshi, Apex MR 1050 iragukorera. Iyi filtre isobanutse neza itanga icyo isosiyete ivuga ko amazi y’imyunyu ngugu afite pH nyinshi akungahaye kuri kalisiyumu, manyeziyumu na potasiyumu. (Menya ko nubwo hari abantu bavuga ko amazi y’imyunyu ngugu afite akamaro ku buzima, ibi bivugwa ntibiragaragazwa, nk'uko bivugwa na Mayo Clinic.) Mu igerageza ryacu, twasanze Apex igabanya uburyohe n’impumuro mbi, itemba neza, kandi ntiyicagagura. Igihe cyo gukoresha cartridge ni litiro 1500.
Iyi filter ya Home Master countertop ifite agaciro gakomeye ni yo filter y'amazi ihendutse kurusha izindi zose dukurikije urutonde rwacu. Ariko, dutekereza ko gusimbuza filters, buri imwe ifite litiro 500 gusa za filters, bizatwara hafi $112 ku mwaka, ni ukuvuga kimwe cya gatatu cy'ubushobozi bw'izindi countertops twagerageje. Iboneka mu ibara ry'umukara cyangwa umweru, irushaho kunoza uburyohe kandi ikagabanya impumuro mbi, kandi ifite umuvuduko mwiza wo gutemba udashobora kugabanya igihe cyo kubaho kwa filter.
Utwuma twose tw’amazi twapimye dukoresha uburyo bwo kuyungurura amazi mu mazi yo mu igorofa. Utwo twuma dutwikiriwe na karubone y’umukara (GAC), ikora nk’ingufu ku cyuma kandi ikanyunyuza uburozi bukomeye n’umwuka buva mu mazi no mu mwuka binyuramo. Dukurikije ikigo gishinzwe kurwanya no gukumira indwara, ikoranabuhanga rya karubone rituma amazi afunguka neza cyane mu kuyungurura impumuro mbi, chlorine, sediment, ndetse rimwe na rimwe na lisade, imiti yica udukoko n’imiti yica udukoko. Ariko, utuyungurura karubone ntabwo dukora neza mu kwica bagiteri.
Kugira ngo ubikore, uzakenera akayunguruzo ka UV gafite ubushobozi bwo kwica bagiteri na virusi, cyangwa akayunguruzo k'amazi gafite ibyiciro byinshi gashobora gukuraho imyanda myinshi, harimo n'ibintu bihinduka (nka benzene na formaldehyde) n'ibyuma by'uburozi (nka lead, arsenic, mercure na chrome).
Dr. Eric Boring, umuhanga mu bya chimie muri gahunda ya CR yo gusuzuma umutekano w’abaguzi, yavuze ko ibi bintu bishobora kuba biri mu mazi yo kunywa, ariko mu bwinshi bukabije ku buryo bitamenyekana bitewe n’impumuro, uburyohe cyangwa uko bigaragara. Bolin yagize ati: “Ariko, nubwo byaba biri ku rugero ruto, ibi bintu bishobora kongera ibyago byo kurwara indwara, kanseri, diyabete, ubugumba no gukura k’ubwonko ku bana.” “Akayunguruzo k’amazi gashobora gufasha.”
Niba uhangayikishijwe n'ikintu runaka cyanduye kiri mu mazi ya robine yawe, shaka raporo y'icyizere cy'abaguzi ku mutanga amazi cyangwa niba ufite amazi yo mu iriba, jya gupima amazi yawe. Hanyuma hitamo akayunguruzo kemewe gukuraho ibintu byose bifatika nk'uko ibi bizamini byerekana. Ntugatekereze ko akayunguruzo kose ari kamwe cyangwa ngo ukoreshe ikoranabuhanga rimwe. Urugero, nk'uko Ikigo gishinzwe kurwanya no gukumira indwara (CDC) kibitangaza, akayunguruzo gakuraho imiti muri rusange nta cyo kamaze mu gukuraho bagiteri, kandi ibinyuranye n'ibyo.
Tugerageza umuvuduko w'amazi mu gupima igihe bifata mu gushungura litiro imwe y'amazi. Duha buri firigo igipimo cy' "kuziba" hashingiwe ku buryo umuvuduko w'amazi ugabanuka mu gihe cy'ubuzima bwavuzwe mu firigo. Niba uruganda ruvuga ko firigo yujuje ibisabwa na NSF/ANSI mu gukuraho imyanda imwe na imwe nka chlorine, lisansi na PFAS, tuzagenzura ibyo birego.
Twasuzumye kandi ibivugwa ko bigabanya uburyohe n'impumuro mbi binyuze mu kongeramo ibintu bisanzwe mu mazi y'isoko bishobora guha amazi impumuro n'uburyohe nk'ubw'inganda zitunganya imyanda, ubutaka butose, ibyuma, cyangwa pisine. Itsinda ry'abahanga mu gusesengura uburyohe bw'amazi basuzuma uburyo akayunguruzo gakuraho ubwo buryohe n'impumuro mbi.
Utwuma twose two ku meza twagaragajwe mu isuzuma ryacu dukura neza impumuro mbi n'impumuro mbi mu mazi ya robine. Ariko moderi nziza nazo zitanga amazi yayunguruwe vuba kandi zigakomeza kubikora ubuzima bwose bwa filter idafunze.
Kate Flamer kuva mu 2021 yabaye umuhanga mu gukora inyandiko zijyanye n'amashusho (multimedia) kuri Consumer Reports, asobanura ibijyanye no kumesa imyenda, isuku, ibikoresho bito n'ibijyanye n'amazu. Ashishikajwe n'imiterere y'imbere, ubwubatsi, ikoranabuhanga n'ibindi byose bijyanye n'imashini, ahindura akazi k'abahanga mu bya CR mo ibintu bifasha abasomyi kubaho neza kandi mu buzima bwiza. Mbere yo kwinjira muri CR, Keith yakoraga ku bikoresho by'akataraboneka n'imitungo itimukanwa, vuba aha muri Forbes, yibanda ku mazu, imiterere y'imbere, umutekano w'amazu n'imico igezweho.
