Wirecutter ifasha abasomyi. Iyo uguze ukoresheje umurongo uri ku rubuga rwacu, dushobora kubona komisiyo y'abafatanyabikorwa. Menya byinshi kuri iyi karita.
Twanagize Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect amahitamo meza - biroroshye kuyishyiraho kandi ishobora gutuma amazi anyura kuri robine zisanzwe.
Umuntu wese unywa amazi arenga litiro nke ku munsi ashobora gukoresha sisitemu yo kuyungurura munsi y’ikigega nka Aquasana AQ-5200. Niba ukunda (cyangwa ukeneye) amazi yayunguruwe, ashobora gutangwa buri gihe mu robine itandukanye uko bikenewe. Turagusaba ko Aquasana AQ-5200 itangwa kuko icyemezo cyayo ari cyo cyiza kurusha izindi sisitemu zose twabonye.
Aquasana AQ-5200 yabonye icyemezo cy’umwanda kurusha ibindi byose, iraboneka cyane, ihendutse, kandi ifite imiterere mito. Ni bwo buryo bwa mbere bwo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’ikigega dushaka.
Aquasana AQ-5200 yemejwe na ANSI/NSF kandi ishobora gukuraho imyanda igera kuri 77 itandukanye, harimo lisade, mercure, ibinyabutabire bihindagurika, imiti, n'ibindi bikoresho bidakunze gufatwa n'abanywanyi. Ni imwe muri filter nke cyane zemejwe na PFOA na PFOS. Izi myanda zikora ibikoresho bidafatana kandi zahawe inama ku buzima bwa EPA muri Gashyantare 2019.
Igiciro cyo gusimbuza urusenda rw'ibikoresho biyungurura ni hafi amadolari 60 y'Amerika, cyangwa igihe cy'amezi atandatu cyo gusimbuza gisabwa na Aquasana ni amadolari 120 y'Amerika ku mwaka. Byongeye kandi, iyi sisitemu ni nini kuruta amacupa make ya soda kandi ntifata umwanya munini w'agaciro munsi y'igikoni. Iyi sisitemu ikoreshwa cyane ikoresha ibikoresho by'icyuma byiza cyane, kandi amarobine yayo aza mu buryo butandukanye.
Imodoka ya AO Smith AO-US-200 ni imwe na Aquasana AQ-5200 mu bijyanye n'impamyabushobozi, imiterere n'ingano. Ni umwihariko wa Lowe's bityo ikaba idakunze kuboneka cyane.
AO Smith AO-US-200 isa na Aquasana AQ-5200 muri buri gice cy'ingenzi. (Ibi ni ukubera ko AO Smith yaguze Aquasana mu 2016.) Ifite icyemezo cyiza kimwe, ibikoresho by'icyuma byose, n'imiterere mito, ariko kubera ko igurishwa muri Lowe's gusa, ingano yayo yo kugurisha si nini, kandi robine yayo ifite iherezo rimwe gusa: nikeli ya brushed. Niba ibi bihuye n'uburyo bwawe, turakugira inama yo kugura hagati y'izo moderi ebyiri ku giciro: imwe cyangwa indi ikunze kugabanyirizwa ibiciro. Ibiciro byo gusimbuza filter birasa: hafi $60 kuri seti, cyangwa $120 ku mwaka mu gihe cy'amezi atandatu cyasabwe na AO Smith.
AQ-5300+ ifite icyemezo cyiza cyane, ariko kubera ko ifite umuvuduko mwinshi w’amazi n’ubushobozi bwo kuyayungurura, ikwiriye ingo zikoresha amazi menshi, ariko igiciro ni kinini kandi ifata umwanya munini munsi y’igikoni.
Aquasana AQ-5300+ ifite impushya 77 za ANSI/NSF nk'izindi serivisi dukunda, ariko itanga impushya nyinshi (galoni 0.72 na 0.5 ku munota) n'ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura (galoni 800 na 500). Ibi bituma iba amahitamo ya mbere ku miryango ikeneye amazi menshi yayunguruwe kandi ishaka kuyakoresha vuba bishoboka. Yongeraho kandi akayunguruzo ka mbere y'amazi, kataboneka muri AQ-5200; ibi bishobora kongera umuvuduko mwinshi w'akayunguruzo k'umwanda mu ngo zikungahaye ku mazi yanduye. Mu yandi magambo, moderi ya AQ-5300+ (ifite akayunguruzo k'amacupa ya litiro eshatu) ni nini cyane kurusha AQ-5200 na AO Smith AO-US-200, ariko igihe cy'akayunguruzo gisabwa ni kimwe, amezi atandatu. Kandi ikiguzi cyayo mbere n'ikiguzi cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo biri hejuru (hafi amadolari 80 y'Amerika kuri seti cyangwa amadolari 160 y'Amerika ku mwaka). Kubwibyo, pima inyungu zayo n'ibiciro biri hejuru.
Claryum Direct Connect ishobora gushyirwaho idacukuye kandi itanga amazi angana na litiro 1.5 ku munota binyuze muri robine yawe isanzwe.
Claryum Direct Connect ya Aquasana ihuza neza na robine yawe isanzwe, bigatuma iba amahitamo meza cyane ku bakodesha (bashobora kuba babujijwe guhindura aho baherereye) n'abadashobora gushyiraho robine itandukanye. Ntabwo ari ngombwa ko ishyirwa ku rukuta rw'akabati k'isafuriya - ishobora gushyirwa ku ruhande rwayo gusa. Itanga ibyemezo 77 bya ANSI / NSF nk'ibindi bikoresho byacu bya Aquasana na AO Smith, kandi ishobora gutanga litiro 1.5 z'amazi yayunguruwe ku munota, kurusha ibindi bicuruzwa. Ubushobozi bw'aka gasanduku ni litiro 784, cyangwa amezi atandatu yo gukoreshwa. Ariko nta gasanduku gakozwe mbere yo kuyungurura, bityo niba ufite ibibazo by'isafuriya, ntabwo ari amahitamo meza kuko izafunga. Kandi ni nini cyane - santimetero 20½ x 4½ - bityo niba akabati k'isafuriya yawe ari gato cyangwa gafite abantu benshi, ishobora kuba idakwiye.
Aquasana AQ-5200 yabonye icyemezo cy’umwanda kurusha ibindi byose, iraboneka cyane, ihendutse, kandi ifite imiterere mito. Ni bwo buryo bwa mbere bwo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’ikigega dushaka.
Imodoka ya AO Smith AO-US-200 ni imwe na Aquasana AQ-5200 mu bijyanye n'impamyabushobozi, imiterere n'ingano. Ni umwihariko wa Lowe's bityo ikaba idakunze kuboneka cyane.
AQ-5300+ ifite icyemezo cyiza cyane, ariko kubera ko ifite umuvuduko mwinshi w’amazi n’ubushobozi bwo kuyayungurura, ikwiriye ingo zikoresha amazi menshi, ariko igiciro ni kinini kandi ifata umwanya munini munsi y’igikoni.
Claryum Direct Connect ishobora gushyirwaho idacukuye kandi itanga amazi angana na litiro 1.5 ku munota binyuze muri robine yawe isanzwe.
Kuva mu 2016 maze igihe ngerageza filters z'amazi kuri Wirecutter. Muri raporo yanjye, nagiranye ikiganiro kirambuye n'ikigo gishinzwe gutanga proofing filters kugira ngo numve uburyo ibizamini byabo byakozwe, kandi nasomye muri database yabo rusange kugira ngo nemeze ko ibyatangajwe n'uruganda byashyigikiwe no gupima proofing. Naganiriye kandi n'abahagarariye abakora filters nyinshi z'amazi, barimo Aquasana / AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita, na Pur, kugira ngo mbabaze icyo bavuga. Kandi ubwanjye niboneye amahitamo yacu yose, kuko uburyo bworoshye bwo guturamo, kuramba no korohereza abakoresha ni ingenzi cyane ku bikoresho ukoresha 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 ibizamini bye bwite, ashyiraho izindi tests zigenga, kandi yanyigishije byinshi mu byo nzi. Akazi kanjye kubatswe ku rufatiro rwe.
Ikibabaje ni uko nta gisubizo kimwe gihari ku bijyanye no kumenya niba hakenewe akayunguruzo k'amazi. Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, amazi rusange agenzurwa na EPA hakurikijwe Itegeko ry'Amazi Asukuye, kandi amazi ava mu nganda zitunganya amazi rusange agomba kuba yujuje ibisabwa byose by'ubuziranenge. Ariko si ko imyanda yose ishobora kugenzurwa. Mu buryo nk'ubwo, imyanda ishobora kwinjira mu mazi nyuma yo kuva mu ruganda inyuramo cyangwa ikava mu miyoboro ivamo amazi (PDF). Gutunganya amazi bikorwa (cyangwa byirengagijwe) mu ruganda bishobora kongera imyanda mu miyoboro iri munsi y'amazi—nk'uko byagenze i Flint, muri Michigan.
Kugira ngo usobanukirwe neza ibintu biri mu mazi iyo umucuruzi avuye mu ruganda, ubusanzwe ushobora kubona raporo y’icyizere cy’abaguzi ya EPA y’umucuruzi wo mu gace utuyemo kuri interineti; bitabaye ibyo, abacuruza amazi rusange bose bagomba kuguha CCR yabo hakurikijwe ibyo ukeneye. Ariko, bitewe n’umwanda ushobora kubaho mu gihe cy’amazi, uburyo bwonyine bwo kumenya imiterere y’amazi yawe ni ugusaba laboratwari y’ubuziranenge bw’amazi yo mu gace utuyemo kugira ngo igupime.
Dushingiye ku bunararibonye: uko inzu yawe cyangwa umuryango wawe ushaje, ni ko ibyago byo kwangirika birushaho kwiyongera. Ikigo gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije muri Amerika cyavuze ko “amazu yubatswe mbere ya 1986 ashobora gukoresha imiyoboro y’amazi, ibikoresho byayo, n’ibikoresho byayo”—ibikoresho byahoze bisanzwe bidafite ishingiro ry’ubu. Imyaka yo gusaza yongera amahirwe yo kwanduzwa n’inganda zahoze zishinzwe kugenzura, ibyo bikaba bishobora guteza akaga, cyane cyane iyo bihujwe no kwangirika gufitanye isano n’imiyoboro yo munsi y’ubutaka ishaje.
Niba umuryango wawe unywa amazi arenga litiro ebyiri cyangwa eshatu ku munsi, icyo gihe akayunguruzo kari munsi y’isafuriya gashobora kuba keza kuruta akayunguruzo k’isafuriya. Sisitemu iri munsi y’isafuriya itanga amazi yo kunywa yayunguruwe igihe cyose bikenewe, idategereje ko inzira yo kuyungurura irangira, kimwe n’ikigega cy’amazi. Kuyungurura “igihe cyose bikenewe” bivuze kandi ko sisitemu yo kuyungurura isafuriya ishobora gutanga amazi ahagije yo guteka—urugero, ushobora kuzuza isafuriya amazi yayunguruwe yo guteka makaroni, ariko ntuzigera wuzuza isafuriya inshuro nyinshi kuri ibi.
Ugereranyije n'udukingirizo tw'amazi, udukingirizo tw'amazi munsi y'amazi dukunda kugira ubushobozi bwinshi kandi tukamara igihe kirekire - akenshi galoni amagana n'amezi atandatu cyangwa arenga, mu gihe udukingirizo twinshi tw'amazi munsi y'amazi ari galoni 40 n'amezi abiri. Kubera ko udukingirizo tw'amazi munsi y'amazi dukoresha umuvuduko w'amazi aho gukoresha imbaraga rukuruzi kugira ngo dusunike amazi muri aka gakingirizo, udukingirizo twatwo dushobora kuba twinshi cyane, bityo tukabasha gukuraho ubwoko bwinshi bw'ibintu bishobora kwanduza.
Ingorane ni uko bihenze kurusha filters za pitcher, kandi agaciro kabyo n'igihe mpuzandengo cyo gusimbuza filters nabyo birahenze cyane. Sisitemu kandi ifata umwanya mu kabati k'ibigega byashoboraga gukoreshwa mu kubika.
Gushyira akayunguruzo munsi y'akayunguruzo bisaba gushyiraho amazi n'ibikoresho by'ibanze, ariko aka kazi koroshye gusa iyo akayunguruzo kawe gasanzwe gafite umwobo w'amazi utandukanye. Bitabaye ibyo, ugomba gukuraho aho robine yubatswe (ushobora kubona disiki yazamuwe ku kayunguruzo k'icyuma, cyangwa ikimenyetso kiri ku kayunguruzo k'amabuye y'ubukorikori). Niba umwobo w'amajwi ubuze, ugomba gucukura umwobo muri kayunguruzo. Niba akayunguruzo kawe gashyizwe hasi, ugomba no gucukura umwobo ku kayunguruzo. Niba ufite akayunguruzo k'isabune, umwanya w'umwuka mu mashini yoza amasahani, cyangwa imashini ikoresha intoki ku kayunguruzo, ushobora kugakuramo ukagashyira aho ngaho.
Nyuma yo gupima, twasimbuje akayunguruzo ka Pur Pitcher kari karahagaritswe dushyira akayunguruzo ka Faster Pour Pitcher.
Iyi mfashanyigisho ivuga ku bwoko bwihariye bwa filter yo munsi y’amazi: ikoresha filter ya cartridge hanyuma yohereza amazi yayunguruwe kuri robine itandukanye. Izi ni filter zo munsi y’amazi zizwi cyane. Zifata umwanya muto cyane kandi akenshi zoroshye gushyiraho no kubungabunga. Zikoresha ibikoresho bikurura umwuka—ubusanzwe ni resin za karubone na ion zikoreshwa, nka filter zo mu kigega cy’amazi—kugira ngo zifatanye kandi zigabanye imyanda. Ntabwo tuvuga ku filter, reverse osmosis systems, cyangwa izindi pitchers cyangwa dispenser zishyirwa kuri robine.
Kugira ngo tumenye neza ko dutanga inama ku byuma byizewe gusa, twakomeje gushimangira ko ibyo twahisemo byatsinze icyemezo cy’inganda: ANSI/NSF. Ikigo cy’Igihugu cy’Ubuziranenge cya Amerika na NSF International ni imiryango yigenga idaharanira inyungu ikorana na EPA, abahagarariye inganda, n’izindi mpuguke kugira ngo hashyirweho amahame agenga ubuziranenge n’amabwiriza yo gupima ibicuruzwa ibihumbi, harimo n’ibyuma biyungurura amazi. Laboratwari ebyiri z’ingenzi zitanga icyemezo ku byuma bisukura amazi ni NSF International ubwayo n’Ishyirahamwe ry’Ubuziranenge bw’Amazi (WQA). Zombi zemewe byuzuye na ANSI n’Inama Nkuru y’Ubuziranenge ya Kanada muri Amerika y’Amajyaruguru, zishobora gupimwa icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF, kandi zombi zigomba kubahiriza amahame n’amabwiriza amwe y’ibizamini. Akayunguruzo gashobora kuzuza gusa amahame y’icyemezo nyuma yuko karengeje igihe cyari giteganijwe. Koresha ingero "zigoye" zateguwe, zanduye cyane kurusha amazi menshi yo mu robine.
Muri iyi mfashanyigisho, twibanda ku byuma bifata ubutare bifite icyemezo cya chlorine, lead, na VOC (aka "volatique organic compound").
Icyemezo cya chlorine (kuri ANSI/Standard 42) ni ingenzi kuko chlorine akenshi ari yo nyirabayazana w’amazi yo mu robine "aryoshye". Ariko ibi ni nk'amayeri: ubwoko bwose bw'amazi ya filters bwaratsinze icyemezo cyayo.
Icyemezo cy’ubuziranenge kiragoye kugeraho kuko bivuze kugabanya ibisubizo bikungahaye kuri ubuziranenge 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 kwibasira umubiri ndetse n’ibindi bintu bikoreshwa mu nganda. Si ko akayunguruzo kose kari munsi y’amazi gafite ibi byemezo bibiri, bityo rero twibanda ku makayunguruzo afite ibyemezo bibiri, twabonye afite imikorere myiza cyane.
Twagabanyije ubushakashatsi bwacu cyane, duhitamo filters zari zarahawe icyemezo gishya cya ANSI/NSF Standard 401, gikubiyemo ibintu bishya birimo kwanduzanya, nk'imiti, bikunze kuboneka mu mazi ya Amerika. Mu buryo nk'ubwo, filters zose si filters zifite icyemezo cya 401, bityo filters zifite icyo cyemezo (n'icyiciro cya lead na VOC) ni itsinda ryihariye cyane.
Muri uru rwego rukomeye, duhita dushaka izifite ubushobozi bwo gukora litiro 500. Ibi bingana n'igihe cyo gukoresha litiro 6 mu gihe cyo gukoresha litiro 2.4 ku munsi. Ku miryango myinshi, ibi birahagije kugira ngo bihuze n'ibyo umuntu akeneye mu kunywa no guteka buri munsi. (Uwakoze litiro atanga gahunda yo gusimbuza litiro, akenshi mu mezi aho kuba litiro; dukurikiza izi nama mu isuzuma ryacu no mu mibare y'ibiciro. Turasaba ko buri gihe dukoresha uburyo bwo gusimbuza uruganda rwa mbere aho gukoresha urundi rw'abandi.)
Amaherezo, twapimye ikiguzi cya sisitemu yose mbere y’igihe ndetse n’ikiguzi gihoraho cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo. Ntabwo twashyizeho igiciro ntarengwa cyangwa cyo hejuru, ariko ubushakashatsi bwacu bwerekana ko nubwo ikiguzi cya mbere kiri hagati y’amadolari 100 na 1,250 y’Amerika, kandi ikiguzi cya kayunguruzo kiri hagati y’amadolari 60 na hafi 300 y’Amerika, iri tandukaniro ntabwo riri hejuru cyane. Uburyo buhenze cyane mu bipimo. Twabonye ubwoko butandukanye bwa kayunguruzo kari munsi y’amadolari 200 y’Amerika, mu gihe gatanga icyemezo cyiza kandi karamba. Aba ni bo babaye aba mbere mu bahatanira. Byongeye kandi, turimo gushaka:
Mu bushakashatsi, rimwe na rimwe twahuye n'amakuru y'ibyavuye mu mazi aturuka kuri nyir'akayunguruzo k'amazi munsi y'akayunguruzo. Kubera ko akayunguruzo gahujwe n'umuyoboro w'amazi akonje unyuze mu muyoboro, niba akayunguruzo cyangwa umuyoboro wangiritse, amazi azasohoka kugeza igihe akayunguruzo gafunga - bivuze ko bishobora gufata amasaha cyangwa iminsi kugira ngo umenye ikibazo, bizagutera ingaruka zikomeye. Kwangirika kw'amazi. Ibi ntabwo bikunze kubaho, ariko ugomba gusuzuma ingaruka zishobora kubaho mugihe utekereza kugura akayunguruzo munsi y'akayunguruzo. Niba ukaguze, nyamuneka kurikiza amabwiriza yo gushyiraho witonze, witondere kutambuka imigozi y'akayunguruzo, hanyuma ufungure buhoro buhoro amazi kugira ngo urebe niba hari aho yamenetse.
Akayunguruzo ka reverse osmosis cyangwa R/O mbere kakoreshaga ubwoko bumwe bwa karitoyi nk'uko twabihisemo hano, ariko hongewemo uburyo bwa kabiri bwo kuyungurura reverse osmosis: membrane ifite imyenge myiza yemerera amazi kunyuramo ariko ikayungurura imyunyungugu yashongeshejwe. Ibintu n'ibindi bintu.
Dushobora kuganira ku buryo bwimbitse ku byuma biyungurura amazi bya R/O mu nyandiko zizakurikiraho. Aha, twarabyanze rwose. Ugereranije n'ibyuma biyungurura amazi, bitanga inyungu nke ku mikorere; bitanga amazi menshi yanduye (ubusanzwe litiro 4 z'amazi yatakaye kuri litiro imwe y'amazi ayungurura amazi), mu gihe ibyuma biyungurura amazi bitayakoresha; bifata umwanya. Ni nini cyane kuko, bitandukanye n'ibyuma biyungurura amazi, bikoresha ibigega bya litiro 1 cyangwa litiro 2 kugira ngo bibike amazi yayunguruwe; biratinda cyane kurusha ibyuma biyungurura amazi munsi y'igikarabiro.
Mu myaka mike ishize, twakoze ibizamini byo muri laboratwari ku byuma biyungurura amazi. Umwanzuro nyamukuru twakuye muri ibyo bizamini ni uko icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF ari igipimo cyizewe cy'imikorere y'ibyuma biyungurura. Bitewe n'ubukana bukabije bw'ibizamini by'ibyemezo, ibi ntibitangaje. Kuva icyo gihe, twishingikirije ku cyemezo cya ANSI/NSF aho gukoresha ibizamini byacu bike kugira ngo duhitemo abo duhanganye.
Mu 2018, twagerageje sisitemu izwi cyane yo kuyungurura amazi ya Big Berkey, itari yemejwe na ANSI/NSF, ariko ivuga ko yageragejwe cyane hakurikijwe amahame ya ANSI/NSF. Ubwo bunararibonye bwakomeje gushimangira gushimangira kwacu icyemezo nyacyo cya ANSI/NSF no kutizera kwacu itangazo rya "ANSI/NSF yapimwe".
Kuva icyo gihe, harimo no mu 2019, ibizamini byacu byibanze ku buryo bwo gukoresha ibintu mu buryo bufatika ndetse n'ibintu bitandukanye bifatika n'intege nke bizagaragara iyo ukoresheje ibyo bicuruzwa.
Aquasana AQ-5200 yabonye icyemezo cy’umwanda kurusha ibindi byose, iraboneka cyane, ihendutse, kandi ifite imiterere mito. Ni bwo buryo bwa mbere bwo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’ikigega dushaka.
Twahisemo Aquasana AQ-5200, izwi kandi nka Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Kugeza ubu, ikintu cy'ingenzi ikora ni uko filter yayo yabonye icyemezo cyiza cya ANSI/NSF mu bahanganye bacu, harimo chlorine, chloramine, lead, mercure, VOC, ubwoko butandukanye bw'imyanda ituruka mu kirere, na aside perfluorooctanoic na aside Perfluorooctane sulfonic. Byongeye kandi, robine yayo n'ibikoresho byayo by'amazi bikozwe mu cyuma gikomeye, kiruta plastiki ikoreshwa n'abandi bakora. Kandi iyi sisitemu nayo ni nto cyane. Amaherezo, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni kimwe mu bicuruzwa by'agaciro twabonye muri filter munsi y'igikoni. Igiciro cy'ibanze cya sisitemu yose (filter, housing, robine n'ibikoresho) ubusanzwe ni amadolari 140 y'Amerika, naho abiri ni amadolari 60 y'Amerika. Simbuza filter. Ibi ni bike ugereranije n'abandi bahanganye benshi bafite icyemezo gito.
Aquasana AQ-5200 yemejwe na ANSI/NSF (PDF) kandi ishobora guhangana n’imyanda 77. Hamwe na Aquasana AQ-5300+ imwe yemewe na AO Smith AO-US-200, ibi bituma AQ-5200 iba sisitemu ikomeye cyane yo kwemeza amahitamo yacu. (AO Smith yaguze Aquasana mu 2016 kandi ikoresha ikoranabuhanga ryayo rinini; AO Smith nta gahunda ifite yo guhagarika uruhererekane rwa Aquasana.) Ibinyuranye n’ibyo, Pur Pitcher Filter nziza ifite Lead Reduction yemejwe kuri 23.
Izi mpamyabumenyi zirimo chlorine, ikoreshwa mu kwica udukoko mu miyoboro y'amazi yo mu mujyi kandi ni yo mpamvu nyamukuru ituma amazi yo mu mazi ahumura; icyuma cy'ubutare gishobora kuva mu miyoboro ishaje n'umuyoboro w'amazi; mercure; Cryptosporidium nzima na Giardia, udukoko tubiri dushobora gutera; chloramine ni umuti wica udukoko wa chloramine udasiba, ukoreshwa cyane mu nganda ziyungurura mu majyepfo ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, aho chlorine yuzuye ibora vuba mu mazi ashyushye. Aquasana AQ-5200 kandi yemereye "imyanda ituruka ku bimera" 15, irimo kwiyongera mu buryo bw'amazi rusange, harimo bisphenol A, ibuprofen, na estrone (estrogen ikoreshwa mu kuboneza urubyaro); Kuri PFOA na PFOS-fluorine-compounds ikoreshwa mu gukora ibintu bidafatana, kandi yahawe inama ku buzima ya EPA muri Gashyantare 2019. (Mu gihe cyo kugisha inama, abakora ubu bwoko bw'akayunguruzo batatu gusa ni bo babonye icyemezo cya PFOA/S, ibi bikaba ari byo by'ingenzi cyane.) Yanatsindiye icyemezo cya VOC. Ibi bivuze ko ishobora gukuraho neza ibintu birenga 50 bitandukanye by’umwimerere, harimo imiti yica udukoko twinshi n’ibindi bintu bikoreshwa mu nganda.
Uretse resins za karuboni zikora kandi zihinduranya iyoni (inyinshi muri zo, niba atari zose, zikoreshwa mu kuyungurura munsi y’ikigega cy’amazi), Aquasana inakoresha ubundi buryo bubiri bwo kuyungurura kugira ngo ibone icyemezo. Kuri chloramines, yongeraho karuboni ikora, ikaba ari ubwoko bw’imyenge ya karuboni ikora neza ikorwa binyuze mu kuvura karuboni hakoreshejwe gaze y’ubushyuhe bwinshi. Kuri Cryptosporidium na Giardia, Aquasana ikora kuyungurura igabanya ingano y’imyenge kugeza kuri mikoroni 0.5, ibi bikaba bihagije kugira ngo ifate neza.
Icyemezo cyiza cya Aquasana AQ-5200 filter niyo mpamvu nyamukuru twayihisemo. Ariko imiterere yayo n'ibikoresho byayo nabyo bituma idasanzwe. Robine ikozwe mu cyuma gikomeye, kimwe n'icyuma gifite ishusho ya T gihuza filter n'umuyoboro. Bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha pulasitiki kuri kimwe cyangwa bibiri muri byo, bigabanya ikiguzi, ariko byongera ibyago byo kwangirika kw'imigozi no gukora amakosa yo kuyishyiraho. AQ-5200 ikoresha ibikoresho byo gukanda kugira ngo ishyireho igipfundikizo gikomeye kandi cyizewe hagati y'umuyoboro wawe n'umuyoboro wa pulasitiki ujyana amazi kuri filter na robine; bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha ibikoresho byoroshye byo gusunika, bitari byiza cyane. Robine ya AQ-5200 iboneka mu byiciro bitatu (nikeli ya brushed, chrome irabagirana n'umuringa usizwe amavuta), kandi bamwe mu banywanyi nta yandi mahitamo bafite.
Dukunda kandi uburyo buto bwo gushyiramo icyuma cya AQ-5200. Gikoresha ibyuma bibiri biyungurura, buri kimwe kikaba kinini kurusha agacupa ka soda; izindi mashini ziyungurura, harimo na Aquasana AQ-5300+ hepfo, zingana n'icupa rya litiro.
