He wai ola ka wai, akā inā inu pololei ʻoe i ka wai mai ka piula wai mai, ʻaʻole paha he H2O wale nō ka mea e loaʻa ai. Wahi a ka waihona ʻikepili wai piha o ka Environmental Working Group (EWG), ka mea e hōʻiliʻili ana i nā hopena o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o nā pono wai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, aia paha i loko o kekahi mau kaiāulu nā kemika weliweli. Eia koʻu mau manaʻo no ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole e hōʻino kāu wai i kou olakino.
No ke aha e maʻemaʻe ʻole ai kou wai paipa e like me kou manaʻo.
ʻOiai ka wai inu "maʻemaʻe" mai ka piula wai ʻaʻole ia ka mea a ka hapa nui o kākou e manaʻo nei he wai maʻemaʻe. Hele ia ma waena o nā mile o nā paipu, e hōʻiliʻili ana i nā mea haumia a me nā kahe wai ma ke ala. Ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia paha me nā kemika, kahi e waiho ai i kahi huahana carcinogenic hiki ke loaʻa1. (Hoʻokahi mea nui e hoʻomaopopo: he mea nui ka disinfection. Me ka ʻole o ia mea, e lilo nā maʻi i lawe ʻia e ka wai i pilikia mau.)
Wahi a ke anamanaʻo o EWG, i ka wā i kākau ʻia ai kēia pepa, ma kahi o 85% o ka heluna kanaka i inu i ka wai piula wai i loaʻa ma mua o 300 mau mea haumia, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o ia mau mea i hoʻoponopono ʻole ʻia e EPA 2. E hoʻohui i ka papa inoa e ulu ana o nā hui hou e ʻike ʻia ana i kēlā me kēia lā, a e lilo paha ka wai i mea ʻino i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa.
He aha ka mea e inu ai.
ʻOiai paha he pilikia kāu paipu, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e kūʻai ʻoe i ka wai ʻōmole. ʻAneʻane ʻaʻohe kānāwai o ka mākeke wai ʻōmole, a ʻōlelo pū ka EPA ʻaʻole ia he palekana ma mua o ka paipu. 3. Eia kekahi, he mea ʻino loa ka wai ʻōmole i ke kaiapuni: e like me ka Pacific Research Institute, ma kahi o 17 miliona barela o ka ʻaila e komo i loko o nā ʻōmole plastik i kēlā me kēia makahiki. ʻO ka mea ʻino loa, ma muli o ka haʻahaʻa o ka hana hou ʻana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ma kahi o ʻelua hapakolu o kēia mau ʻōmole e kanu ʻia a i ʻole e komo i ke kai, e hoʻohaumia ana i ka wai a hōʻino i nā holoholona hihiu.
Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole e hele i kēia ala, akā e kānana i ka wai ma ka home. ʻO ke kūpono, hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā ʻōnaehana kānana hale holoʻokoʻa - akā hiki ke pipiʻi loa. Inā ʻaʻole kēia ma ke kāleka, e hoʻopukapuka i nā ʻāpana kaʻawale no kāu faucet kīhini a me ka ʻauʻau. (Inā hopohopo nui ʻoe e pili ana i kāu ʻauʻau, paipai pū wau iā ʻoe e ʻauʻau anuanu, i ʻole e wehe ʻia kou mau pores i nā mea haumia hiki.)
He aha e nānā ai i loko o ka kānana wai.
ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ua hōʻoia ʻia kekahi kānana āu e kūʻai ai e NSF International, kahi hui kūʻokoʻa waiwai ʻole e kuleana no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka hiki o ke kānana ke wehe i kekahi mau mea haumia. Mai laila mai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo i ka kānana kūpono loa no kou ʻohana a me kou nohona: ma lalo o ka papa ʻaina, ka papa ʻaina a i ʻole ka pahu wai.
Nā kānana ma lalo o ke kūʻai he mea maikaʻi loa, no ka mea, ua hūnā ʻia lākou mai ka ʻike ʻana, a ua helu kiʻekiʻe ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano o ke kānana ʻana. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kumukūʻai kūʻai mua me ke kumukūʻai no ke galani ma mua o nā koho ʻē aʻe a pili i kekahi hoʻonohonoho ʻana.
· Nā kānana countertophoʻohana i ke kaomi wai e hoʻohele i ka wai ma o ke kaʻina kānana, kahi e kōkua ai i ka hoʻolilo ʻana i ka wai i mea olakino a ʻono hoʻi, a wehe i nā mea haumia he nui ma mua o ka ʻōnaehana pahu wai maʻamau. ʻAʻole pono ka hoʻouka ʻana o ka ʻōnaehana countertop (kahi hose liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻohe mea paʻa mau) a he mau ʻīniha wale nō ka nui o ka hakahaka countertop.
· Nā ipu waiHe kūpono loa ia no ka poʻe me kahi palena iki, no ka mea, he maʻalahi ke lawe ʻia, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻokomo ʻia, hiki ke hoʻokomo maʻalahi ʻia i loko o ka pahu hau, a hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ma aneane kēlā me kēia kihi alanui. Hana maikaʻi lākou i ka kānana ʻana i kekahi o nā mea haumia nui, akā ʻaʻole like me nā mana ma lalo o ke kūʻai a ma luna o ka papaʻaina. ʻOiai he liʻiliʻi ka hoʻopukapuka mua, pono e hoʻololi pinepine ʻia ke kānana, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ke kumukūʻai no ke galani i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe. ʻO kaʻu pahu wai punahele (ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea a mākou e hoʻohana ai ma ke keʻena) ʻo ia ka Aquasana Powered Water Filtration System.
He ala maʻalahi ka kānana wai e kākoʻo ai i kou olakino, a he nui nā ala e hana ai. E inu au!
