Twagize Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect amahitamo meza cyane - biroroshye gushyiraho kandi bitanga amazi menshi ku robine zisanzwe.
Abantu banywa litiro zirenga nke z'amazi meza ku munsi bashobora kunyurwa cyane n'uburyo bwo kuyungurura amazi munsi y'amazi nka Aquasana AQ-5200. Niba ukunda (cyangwa ukeneye) amazi yayunguruwe, ashobora gutangwa buri gihe ukoresheje robine itandukanye uko bikenewe. Turagusaba gukoresha Aquasana AQ-5200 kuko icyemezo cyayo ari cyo cyiza kurusha ubundi buryo bwose twabonye.
Yemejwe ko ifite imyanda myinshi, iboneka ahantu henshi, ihendutse kandi nto, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni yo sisitemu ya mbere yo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’amazi dushaka.
Aquasana AQ-5200 ni yo yemejwe na ANSI/NSF gukuraho imyanda igera kuri 77 itandukanye, harimo lisansi, mercure, ibinyabutabire bihindagurika, imiti, n'ibindi bikoresho abanywanyi badakunze gufata. Ni imwe muri filter nke zemejwe na PFOA na PFOS, ibinyabutabire bigira uruhare mu gukora ibikoresho bidafatana, yahawe inama ku buzima bwa EPA muri Gashyantare 2019.
Urusenda rw'ibikoresho byo gusimbuza rugura hafi $60, cyangwa $120 ku mwaka ku mezi atandatu Aquasana isaba ko rusimburwa. Nanone, 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 robine zayo ziza mu buryo butandukanye.
AO Smith AO-US-200 isa na Aquasana AQ-5200 mu bijyanye n'impamyabushobozi, ibipimo n'ingano, kandi ni iya Lowe gusa, bityo ntabwo iboneka cyane.
Imodoka ya 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 icyemezo kimwe cy'igiciro, ibikoresho by'icyuma byose, n'imiterere mito, ariko ntabwo ikwirakwira cyane kuko igurishwa muri Lowe's gusa, kandi robine yayo iza mu buryo bumwe gusa. Uburyo bwo kuyikoresha: Brushed Nickel. Niba ibyo bihuye n'uburyo bwawe, turakugira inama yo kugura hagati y'izo moderi ebyiri ukurikije igiciro: imwe cyangwa indi ikunze kugabanyirizwa ibiciro. Amafaranga yo gusimbuza filter ni amwe: hafi $60 kuri seti, cyangwa $120 ku mwaka mu gihe cy'amezi atandatu cyatanzwe na AO Smith.
AQ-5300+ ifite ibyemezo bimwe byiza ariko ifite ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura amazi menshi no kuyayungurura ku mazu akoresha amazi menshi, ariko ihenda cyane kandi ifata umwanya munini munsi y’igikoni.
Aquasana AQ-5300+ Max Flow ifite ibyangombwa 77 bya ANSI/NSF nk'ibindi twahisemo cyane, ariko itanga amazi menshi (galoni 0.72 ugereranyije na 0.5 ku munota) n'ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura (galoni 800 ugereranyije na 500). Ibi bituma iba amahitamo ku ngo zikeneye amazi menshi yayunguruwe kandi zishaka kuyabona vuba bishoboka. Yongeraho kandi akayunguruzo ka mbere y'amazi, AQ-5200 idafite. Ibi bishobora kongera amazi menshi ya filters zihumanya mu ngo zifite amazi menshi ya sediment. Ibyo bivuzwe, moderi ya AQ-5300+ (ifite akayunguruzo k'amacupa ya litiro 3) ni nini cyane kurusha AQ-5200 na AO Smith AO-US-200, ariko ifite igihe cyo kuyungurura kingana n'amezi 6. Kandi ikiguzi cyayo cyo gutangira mbere n'igiciro cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo kiri hejuru (hafi $80 kuri seti cyangwa $160 ku mwaka). Bityo rero, pima inyungu zayo ugereranyije n'igiciro cyo hejuru.
Claryum Direct Connect ishyiramo nta byobo bicukura 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 kubuzwa guhindura aho baherereye) n'abadashobora gushyiraho robine itandukanye. Ntabwo ari ngombwa ko ishyirwa ku rukuta rw'akabati k'isafuriya - ishobora kuryama ku ruhande rwayo gusa. Itanga ibyemezo 77 bya ANSI / NSF nk'ibindi bikoresho byacu bya Aquasana na AO Smith, kandi itanga litiro 1.5 z'amazi yayunguruwe ku munota, kurusha izindi. Aka gasanduku gafite ubushobozi bwa litiro 784, cyangwa amezi atandatu yo gukoreshwa. Ariko nta gasanduku gafite mbere yo kuyungurura, bityo niba ufite ibibazo by'isafuriya, ntabwo ari amahitamo meza kuko kazafunga. Kandi ni kanini cyane - santimetero 20½ x 4½ - bityo niba akabati k'isafuriya yawe ari gato cyangwa gafite abantu benshi, birashoboka ko katakwirwamo.
Yemejwe ko ifite imyanda myinshi, iboneka ahantu henshi, ihendutse kandi nto, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni yo sisitemu ya mbere yo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’amazi dushaka.
AO Smith AO-US-200 isa na Aquasana AQ-5200 mu bijyanye n'impamyabushobozi, ibipimo n'ingano, kandi ni iya Lowe gusa, bityo ntabwo iboneka cyane.
AQ-5300+ ifite ibyemezo bimwe byiza ariko ifite ubushobozi bwo kuyungurura amazi menshi no kuyayungurura ku mazu akoresha amazi menshi, ariko ihenda cyane kandi ifata umwanya munini munsi y’igikoni.
Claryum Direct Connect ishyiramo nta byobo bicukura 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 ibiganiro birebire n'ibigo byemeza filters kugira ngo menye uko ibizamini byabo byakozwe, kandi nacukumbuye muri database zabo rusange kugira ngo nemeze ko ibyo uwakoze filters yasabaga byashyigikiwe n'ikizamini cya Certification. Navuganye kandi n'abahagarariye abakora filters z'amazi benshi, barimo Aquasana / AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita na Pur, kugira ngo mbaze icyo bavuga. Kandi nabonye amahitamo yacu yose imbonankubone, kuko uburyo bwo kubaho muri rusange, kuramba, no korohereza abakoresha ni ingenzi ku gikoresho ukoresha inshuro nyinshi ku munsi. Uwahoze ari umuhanga mu bya siyansi wa NOAA, John Holecek, yakoze ubushakashatsi anandika amabwiriza ya Wirecutter water filter, akora ikizamini cye bwite, ashyiraho andi masuzuma yigenga, kandi yanyigishije byinshi mu byo nzi. Akazi kanjye kubatswe ku rufatiro rwe.
Ikibabaje ni uko nta gisubizo kimwe gikwiye ku bijyanye no kumenya niba ukeneye 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 guhumanya igenzurwa. Mu buryo nk'ubwo, imyanda ishobora kwinjira mu mazi nyuma yo kuva mu nganda zitunganya amazi binyuze mu miyoboro itemba (PDF) cyangwa binyuze mu miyoboro ubwayo. Gutunganya amazi mu nganda (cyangwa kwirengagizwa) bishobora kongera imyanda mu miyoboro iri munsi y'amazi—nk'uko byagenze i Flint, muri Michigan.
Kugira ngo umenye neza ibiri mu mazi y'umutanga serivisi iyo avuye mu kigo, ushobora kureba kuri interineti raporo y'umutanga serivisi ushinzwe EPA ku bijyanye n'icyizere cy'abaguzi; bitabaye ibyo, abatanga serivisi z'amazi rusange bose basabwa kuguha CCR igihe babisabye. Ariko bitewe n'umwanda ushobora kwanduzwa n'amazi, uburyo bwonyine bwo kumenya neza amazi ari mu rugo rwawe ni ukwishyura laboratwari y'amazi meza yo mu gace utuyemo kugira ngo ikore isuzuma.
Nk’uko bisanzwe: uko urugo rwawe cyangwa umuryango wawe bikura, ni ko ibyago byo kwandura birushaho kwiyongera. EPA ivuga ko "amazu yubatswe mbere ya 1986 ashobora gukoresha imiyoboro y'amazi, ibikoresho byayo n'ibishongeshwa" - ibikoresho bishaje byahoze bisanzwe kandi bitujuje amategeko agezweho. Imyaka kandi yongera amahirwe yo kwandura amazi yo munsi y'ubutaka ya kera, bishobora kuba ikibazo, cyane cyane iyo bihujwe no kwangirika kw'imiyoboro yo munsi y'ubutaka bitewe n'imyaka.
Niba urugo rwawe runywa amazi arenga litiro ebyiri cyangwa eshatu ku munsi, akayunguruzo k'amazi gashyirwa munsi y'amazi gashobora kuba amahitamo meza kuruta akayunguruzo k'icupa. Sisitemu yo munsi y'amazi itanga amazi yo kunywa ayunguruwe igihe cyose bikenewe idategereje ko inzira yo kuyungurura irangira, kimwe n'ikigega cy'amazi. Kuyungurura "igihe bikenewe" bivuze kandi ko sisitemu yo munsi y'amazi ishobora gutanga amazi ahagije yo guteka - urugero, ushobora kuzuza inkono amazi ayunguruwe yo guteka makaroni, ariko ntuzigera wuzuza umubyizi kenshi kuri ibyo.
Utwuma duto duto dukoresha amazi duto dukunda kuba dufite ubushobozi n'igihe kirekire kurusha utuyunguruzo twa canister—ubusanzwe galoni amagana n'amezi atandatu cyangwa arenga, ugereranije na galoni 40 na galoni 40 ku tuyunguruzo twinshi twa canister. amezi abiri. Kandi kubera ko utuyunguruzo duto dukoresha amazi aho gukoresha imbaraga z'uburemere kugira ngo dusunike amazi muri aka kayunguruzo, utuyunguruzo twatwo dushobora kuba twinshi cyane, bityo dushobora gukuraho ubwoko bwinshi bw'ibintu bishobora kwanduza.
Ku rundi ruhande, birahenze kurusha filters za pitcher, kandi gusimbuza filters nabyo birahenze cyane mu buryo bufatika kandi busanzwe uko igihe kigenda gihita. Iyi sisitemu kandi ifata umwanya mu kabati k'ibigega bya sinki kari kuboneka kugira ngo kabikwe.
Gushyiramo akayunguruzo ko munsi y’isahani bisaba gushyiraho amazi n’ibikoresho by’ibanze, ariko ni akazi koroshye gusa iyo isahani yawe ifite umwobo umwe wo kuvoma. Bitabaye ibyo, uzakenera gukuramo imwe mu miyoboro yubatswemo (igaragara nk'amadisiki yazamuwe ku masahani y'icyuma, cyangwa ibimenyetso ku masahani y'amabuye y’ubukorikori). Udakoresheje akayunguruzo, uzakenera gucukura umwobo muri sahani, kandi niba isahani yawe idakoreshwa, uzakenera no gucukura umwobo muri sahani. Niba ufite isabune, icyuho cy'umwuka wo koza amasahani, cyangwa imashini ikoresha intoki ku isahani, ushobora kuyikuraho ugashyiramo isahani.
Izi filtre z'amazi, ibigega n'ibikoresho byo kugemura amazi byemejwe gukuraho imyanda no kunoza amazi yo kunywa mu ngo.
Iyi mfashanyigisho ivuga ku bwoko bwihariye bwa filter yo munsi y’amazi: ikoresha filter ya cartridge yohereza amazi yayunguruwe kuri robine itandukanye. Izi ni filter zo munsi y’amazi zizwi cyane. Zifata umwanya muto kandi muri rusange zoroshye gushyiraho no kubungabunga. Zikoresha ibikoresho bitera ascorbent—ubusanzwe carbon resins na ion-exchange resins, nka filters za pitcher—kugira ngo zifatanye kandi zigabanye imyanda. Ntabwo tuvuga filters zometse kuri robine, reverse osmosis systems, cyangwa izindi tanks cyangwa dispenser.
Kugira ngo tumenye neza ko dutanga inama ku byuma byo gupima ushobora kwizera gusa, twakomeje kuvuga ko ibyo twahisemo byemewe n'amahame ngenderwaho y'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 bateze imbere amahame ngenderwaho y'ubuziranenge n'amabwiriza yo gupima ibicuruzwa ibihumbi, harimo n'ibyuma byo gupima amazi. Laboratwari ebyiri z'ingenzi zemewe ku byuma byo gupima amazi ni NSF International ubwayo n'Ishyirahamwe ry'Ubuziranenge bw'Amazi (WQA). Byombi byemewe muri Amerika ya Ruguru na ANSI n'Inama y'Ubuziranenge ya Kanada ku bijyanye no gupima ANSI/NSF, kandi byombi bigomba kubahiriza amahame ngenderwaho y'ibizamini bimwe. Ibyuma byo gupima ntibiba byujuje ibisabwa kugeza igihe birengeje igihe cy'ubuzima bwabyo, hakoreshejwe ingero zateguwe "z'imbogamizi" zanduye cyane kurusha amazi menshi yo mu mazi.
Kuri iyi mfashanyigisho, twibanda ku byuma bifata amatara bifite icyemezo cya chlorine, lead, na VOC (bizwi nka organic compounds).
Icyemezo cya chlorine (nk'uko bivugwa muri ANSI/Standard 42) ni ingenzi kuko chlorine akenshi iba ari yo nyirabayazana w' "uburyohe bubi" bw'amazi ya robine. Ariko nanone ni impano: Ubwoko bwose bwa filters z'amazi bwemewe.
Icyemezo cy’ubuziranenge (lead certification) kiragoye kugeraho kuko bivuze kugabanya ibisubizo bikungahaye kuri lisansi 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 bikoreshwa mu nganda. Si ko akayunguruzo kose kari munsi y’amazi gafite ibyemezo byombi, bityo rero twibanda ku makayunguruzo afite ibyemezo byombi, twabonye bikora neza cyane.
Twakomeje gushakisha kugira ngo duhitemo filters zemejwe na ANSI/NSF Standard 401 nshya, ikubiyemo umubare munini w’ibintu bihumanya ikirere biri kwiyongera mu mazi ya Amerika, nk’imiti. Nanone, filters zose si zo zifite icyemezo cya 401, bityo abazifite (ndetse n’impamyabushobozi za lead na VOC) ni itsinda ry’abantu batoranijwe cyane.
Muri uru rwego rukomeye, duhita dushaka abashobora gukoresha litiro 500. Ibi bingana n'igihe cyo gukoresha akayunguruzo cy'amezi agera kuri atandatu mu gihe gikoreshwa cyane (litiro 2¾ ku munsi). Ku ngo nyinshi, aya mazi ahagije yo kunywa no guteka buri munsi. (Abakora batanga gahunda yo gusimbuza akayunguruzo, akenshi bapimirwa mu mezi aho kuba litiro; dukurikiza izi nama mu isuzuma ryacu no mu mibare y'ibiciro. Turasaba ko buri gihe dukoresha utuyunguruzo tw'umwimerere dukoreshwa, atari utw'abandi.)
Amaherezo, twapimye ikiguzi cya sisitemu yose mbere y’igihe ugereranyije n’ikiguzi gihoraho cyo gusimbuza akayunguruzo. Ntabwo twashyizeho ibiciro mbere y’igihe cyangwa igipimo, ariko ubushakashatsi bwacu bwagaragaje ko nubwo ibiciro mbere y’igihe byari hagati ya $100 na $1,250 naho ibiciro bya kayunguruzo bikaba hagati ya $60 na $300 hafi, iri tandukaniro ntiryagaragaye mu buryo bugaragara ko buhenze cyane mu bipimo. Twabonye akayunguruzo kenshi kari munsi y’akayunguruzo kari munsi y’amadolari 200 mu gihe gatanga icyemezo cyiza kandi karamba. Aba ni bo babaye aba mbere mu bakinnyi bacu. Uretse ibi, tunashaka kandi:
Mu bushakashatsi bwacu, rimwe na rimwe twahuye n'amakuru y'amazi aturuka munsi y'amazi asohoka nabi aturutse ku bafite firigo y'amazi iri munsi y'amazi. Kubera ko firigo ifatanye n'umuyoboro w'amazi akonje, iyo firigo cyangwa umuyoboro w'amazi byacitse, amazi azasohoka kugeza igihe firigo ifunga - bivuze ko bishobora gufata amasaha cyangwa iminsi kugira ngo umenye ikibazo, bigatera ingaruka zikomeye ku kwangirika kw'amazi yawe. Ibi ntibikunze kubaho, ariko hari ingaruka zo gusuzuma iyo utekereza kugura firigo iri munsi y'amazi. Niba uyiguze, kurikiza amabwiriza yo kuyishyiraho witonze, witondere ko udasunika firigo, hanyuma ufungure buhoro buhoro amazi kugira ngo urebe niba hari amazi asohoka.
Akayunguruzo ka reverse osmosis cyangwa R/O gatangirana n'ubwoko bumwe bwa karitoyi twahisemo hano, ariko hongerwamo uburyo bwa kabiri bwo kuyungurura reverse osmosis: akayunguruzo gato gatuma amazi anyuramo ariko kagashungura imyunyu ngugu yashongeshejwe n'ibindi bintu.
Dushobora kuganira ku byuma biyungurura bya R/O mu buryo burambuye mu gitabo cy’ubutaha. Aha turabyanga byimazeyo. Bifite inyungu nke mu mikorere ugereranyije n’ibyuma biyungurura amazi; bitanga amazi menshi yanduye (ubusanzwe biyungurura litiro 4 z’amazi yakoreshejwe "asukura" kuri litiro imwe), mu gihe ibyuma biyungurura amazi bidatanga amazi yanduye; bifata umwanya munini, kuko bitandukanye n’ibyuma biyungurura amazi, bikoresha ikigega cya litiro 1 cyangwa 2 kugira ngo bibike amazi yayunguruwe; biratinda cyane kurusha ibyuma biyungurura amazi biri munsi y’amazi.
Mu myaka mike ishize twakoze ibizamini byo muri laboratwari ku byuma biyungurura amazi, kandi ikintu cy'ingenzi twakuye mu isuzuma ryacu ni uko icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF ari igipimo cyizewe cy'imikorere y'ibyuma biyungurura. Ibi ntibitangaje bitewe n'ubukana bukabije bw'ibizamini by'ibyemezo. Kuva icyo gihe, twishingikirije ku cyemezo cya ANSI/NSF aho kwishingikiriza ku isuzuma ryacu rito kugira ngo duhitemo abo duhanganye.
Mu 2018, twagerageje sisitemu izwi cyane ya Big Berkey water filter, itarimo icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF, ariko ivuga ko yageragejwe cyane ku bipimo bya ANSI/NSF. Ubu bunararibonye bwakomeje gushimangira gushimangira kwacu icyemezo cy’ukuri cya ANSI/NSF no kutizera kwacu ikirego cya “ANSI/NSF Tested”.
Kuva icyo gihe, no mu 2019, igerageza ryacu ryibanze ku buryo bwo gukoresha ibintu mu buryo bufatika ndetse n'ubwoko bw'ibintu by'ingirakamaro n'ibibi bigaragara iyo ukoresha ibyo bicuruzwa.
Yemejwe ko ifite imyanda myinshi, iboneka ahantu henshi, ihendutse kandi nto, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni yo sisitemu ya mbere yo kuyungurura amazi munsi y’amazi dushaka.
Ihitamo ryacu ni Aquasana AQ-5200, izwi cyane nka Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Ikintu cy'ingenzi kugeza ubu ni uko filters zayo zifite ibyangombwa byiza bya ANSI/NSF by’abo duhanganye, birimo chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercure, VOCs, "imyanda myinshi ituruka" na PFOA na PFOS. Uretse ibyo, robine yayo n'ibikoresho byayo by'amazi bikozwe mu cyuma gikomeye, kiruta pulasitiki ikoreshwa n'abandi bakora. Kandi sisitemu nayo ni nto cyane. Hanyuma, Aquasana AQ-5200 ni imwe mu gaciro keza twabonye muri filters ziri munsi y'amazi, ikiguzi cya sisitemu yose (filters, housing, robine, na hardware) gisanzwe kiri hafi $140 mbere, kandi seti ebyiri zigura $60 kugira ngo zisimbuze filters. Ibyo ni bike ugereranije n'abandi bahanganye bafite ibyemezo bidakomeye.
Aquasana AQ-5200 ifite icyemezo cya ANSI/NSF (PDF) cyo kumenya ibintu 77 byanduye. Hamwe na Aquasana AQ-5300+ na AO Smith AO-US-200 byemewe kimwe, ibi bituma AQ-5200 iba sisitemu ikomeye cyane yemewe twahisemo. (AO Smith yaguze Aquasana mu 2016 kandi yakoresheje ikoranabuhanga ryayo rinini; AO Smith nta gahunda ifite yo guhagarika umurongo w'ibicuruzwa bya Aquasana.) Ibinyuranye n'ibyo, akayunguruzo keza ka Pur Pitcher gafite icyemezo cya 23.
Izi mpamyabumenyi zirimo chlorine, ikoreshwa mu kwica udukoko mu mazi yo mu mujyi kandi ikaba ari yo mpamvu nyamukuru itera "uburyohe bubi" mu mazi ya robine; icyuma cy'ubutare, gisohoka mu miyoboro ishaje n'amazi ashongeshejwe; mercure; Cryptosporidium nzima na Giardia flagellates, udukoko tubiri dushobora gutera; na chloramine, umuti wica udukoko wa chloramine ukomeza gukoreshwa cyane n'ibimera biyungurura mu majyepfo ya Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, chlorine yuzuye ibora vuba mu mazi ashyushye. Aquasana AQ-5200 kandi yemejwe ko ifite umubare ukomeje kwiyongera w'ibintu 15 "byanduye" mu miyoboro y'amazi rusange, harimo BPA, ibuprofen, na estrone (estrogen ikoreshwa mu kuboneza urubyaro); kuri PFOA na PFOS—— Ibinyabutabire bishingiye kuri fluorine bikoreshwa mu gukora ibintu bidafata kandi byahawe inama ku buzima bwa EPA muri Gashyantare 2019. (Mu gihe cyo kugisha inama, abakora bene ibyo biyungurura ni 3 gusa bahawe icyemezo cya PFOA/S, ibi bikaba ari ingenzi cyane.) Ifite kandi icyemezo cya VOC. Ibi bivuze ko ishobora gukuraho neza ibintu birenga 50 bitandukanye by'umwimerere, harimo imiti yica udukoko n'inganda.
Uretse resins za karuboni zikora kandi zihinduranya iyoni (izisanzwe niba atari zose zikoreshwa munsi y’amazi), Aquasana ikoresha ikoranabuhanga ribiri ry’inyongera rya filter kugira ngo igere ku cyemezo. Kuri chloramines, yongeraho karuboni ikora, karuboni ifite imyenge kandi bityo ikaba ishobora gukora neza ikorwa no gutunganya karuboni hakoreshejwe umwuka ushyushye cyane. Kuri Cryptosporidium na Giardia, Aquasana ikora filter igabanya ingano y’imyenge kugeza kuri mikoroni 0.5, ntoya bihagije kugira ngo ifate neza.
Icyemezo cy’ikirenga cya Aquasana AQ-5200 filter ni cyo cyatumye tuyihitamo. Ariko imiterere yayo n’ibikoresho byayo nabyo birayitandukanya. Robine ikozwe mu cyuma gikomeye, kimwe n’udupira twa T duhuza filter n’umuyoboro. Bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha pulasitiki kuri kimwe cyangwa byombi, bigabanya ikiguzi ariko byongera ibyago byo kwangirika no gushyirwaho nabi. AQ-5200 ikoresha ibikoresho byo gukanda kugira ngo ishyireho igipfundikizo gikomeye kandi gihamye hagati y’umuyoboro n’umuyoboro wa pulasitiki ujyana amazi kuri filter na robine; bamwe mu banywanyi bakoresha ibikoresho byoroshye byo gusunika, bidatekanye cyane. Robine ya AQ-5200 iboneka mu byiciro bitatu (nikeli ya brushed, chrome irabagirana, na bronze isizwe amavuta), mu gihe bamwe mu banywanyi nta yandi mahitamo bafite.
Dukunda kandi imiterere mito ya sisitemu ya AQ-5200. Ikoresha ibyuma bibiri binini, buri kimwe kiruta gato agacupa ka soda; ibindi, harimo na Aquasana AQ-5300+ biri hepfo, bingana n'icupa rya litiro. Iyo icyuma gifunguye gishyizwe ku gikoresho cyo gushyiramo, 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 mu kabati k'igikoni, ishobora gushyirwa ahantu hafunganye aho sisitemu nini zitashobora kwinjira, kandi igasiga umwanya munini wo kubika munsi y'igikoni. Ukeneye santimetero 10 z'umwanya uhagaze (upimwe uhereye hejuru y'igikoni) kugira ngo wemererwe gusimbuza icyuma gifunguye, na santimetero 10 z'umwanya utambitse ku rukuta rw'akabati kugira ngo ushyireho agace k'igikoni.
AQ-5200 yahawe amanota meza cyane ku bijyanye n’amafiriti y’amazi, ikaba yarabonye amanota 4.5 kuri 5 kuri 800 ku rubuga rwa Aquasana na 4.5 kuri hafi 500 ku rubuga rwa Home Depot.
