I ka wā e pili ana i kahi nohona olakino (a i ʻole ke ola wale nō), ʻo ka inu wai ka mea nui. ʻOiai he nui nā kamaʻāina o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e loaʻa ana i nā faucets, ʻo ka nui o nā sila i loaʻa i kekahi mau wai piula hiki ke hoʻolilo iā ia i mea inu ʻole ʻia. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, loaʻa iā mākou nā kānana wai a me nā ʻōnaehana kānana.
ʻOiai ke kūʻai ʻia aku nei nā kānana wai ma lalo o nā lama like ʻole, ʻaʻole like nā mea a pau. No ka lawe ʻana mai iā ʻoe i ka wai maʻemaʻe loa a me nā huahana e hana maoli ana, ua ninaninau ʻo The Post i ka loea mālama wai, ʻo "Water Leading Specialist" ʻo Brian Campbell, ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā WaterFilterGuru.com.
Ua noi mākou iā ia no nā kikoʻī āpau e pili ana i ke koho ʻana i ka ipu kānana wai maikaʻi loa, pehea e hoʻāʻo ai i ka maikaʻi o kāu wai, nā pono olakino o ka wai i kānana ʻia, a me nā mea hou aku ma mua o ke komo ʻana i kāna mau koho ʻelima kiʻekiʻe no nā ipu kānana wai maikaʻi loa.
Pono nā mea kūʻai e noʻonoʻo i kēia mau mea i ke koho ʻana i kahi kānana wai no ko lākou home, wahi a Campbell: ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a me ka hōʻoia, ke ola o ke kānana (ka mana) a me ke kumukūʻai hoʻololi, ka nui o ka kānana, ka mana o ka wai i kānana ʻia, ka plastic BPA-free, a me ka palapala hoʻokō.
"Hiki i kahi kānana wai maikaʻi ke wehe i nā mea haumia i loko o ke kumu wai i kānana ʻia," wahi a Campbell i ka Post. "ʻAʻole i loaʻa i nā wai āpau nā mea haumia like, a ʻaʻole hoʻi e wehe nā ʻenehana kānana wai āpau i nā mea haumia like."
"He manaʻo maikaʻi mau ka hoʻāʻo mua ʻana i ka maikaʻi o kou wai e loaʻa ai kahi manaʻo maikaʻi o ka mea āu e hana nei. Mai laila mai, e hoʻohana i ka ʻikepili hopena hoʻāʻo e ʻike i nā kānana wai e hōʻemi i nā mea haumia e kū nei."
Ma muli o ka nui o kou makemake e hoʻolilo, aia kekahi mau ala e hoʻāʻo ai i kou wai ma ka home e ʻike i nā mea haumia āu e hana nei.
"Pono nā mea hoʻolako wai kūlanakauhale āpau e ke kānāwai e paʻi i kahi hōʻike makahiki e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o ka wai a lākou e hāʻawi ai i kā lākou mea kūʻai. ʻOiai he wahi hoʻomaka maikaʻi kēia, ua kaupalena ʻia nā hōʻike no ka mea hāʻawi wale lākou i ka ʻike i ka manawa o ka laʻana. i lawe ʻia mai kahi hale hana hana, wahi a Campbell.
"ʻAʻole lākou e hōʻike inā ua haumia hou ka wai ma kona ala i kou home. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona kaulana loa, ʻo ia ka haumia kēpau mai nā ʻōnaehana kahiko a i ʻole nā paipu," wahi a Campbell. "Inā hele mai kou wai mai kahi luawai pilikino, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka CCR. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kēia mea hana EPA e ʻike i kāu CCR kūloko."
"ʻO nā pahu hoʻāʻo hana-ia-ʻoe iho a i ʻole nā ʻāpana hoʻāʻo, i loaʻa nui ma ka pūnaewele a ma kāu hale kūʻai lako kūloko a i ʻole ka hale kūʻai pahu nui, e hōʻike i ke alo o kahi hui i koho ʻia (maʻamau 10-20) o nā mea haumia maʻamau i ka wai o ke kūlanakauhale," wahi a Campbell. ʻO ka hemahema, ʻaʻole piha a paʻa loa kēia mau pahu hana. ʻAʻole lākou e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i kahi kiʻi piha o nā mea haumia āpau. ʻAʻole lākou e haʻi iā ʻoe i ka nui pololei o ka mea haumia.
"ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka hale hana wale nō ke ala e loaʻa ai kahi kiʻi piha o ka maikaʻi o ka wai. Loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi hōʻike o nā mea haumia i loaʻa a me nā ʻano nui," wahi a Campbell i ka Post. "ʻO kēia wale nō ka hoʻāʻo e hiki ke hāʻawi i ka ʻikepili pololei e pono ai e hoʻoholo inā pono ka lāʻau kūpono - inā loaʻa."
Paipai ʻo Campbell i ka Tap Score a Simple Lab, e kapa ana iā ia "ʻo ia paha ka huahana hoʻāʻo lab maikaʻi loa i loaʻa."
"ʻO ka palapala hōʻoia kūʻokoʻa mai NSF International a i ʻole ka Water Quality Association (WQA) ka hōʻailona maikaʻi loa e hoʻokō ana kahi kānana i nā koi a ka mea hana," wahi āna.
"ʻO ka throughput o kahi kānana ka nui o ka wai e hiki ke hele ma waena o ia mea ma mua o ka piha ʻana i nā mea haumia a pono e hoʻololi ʻia," wahi a Campbell. E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, "He mea nui e hoʻomaopopo i ka mea āu e wehe ai mai ka wai i mea e hoʻoholo ai i ka pinepine o kou pono e hoʻololi i ke kānana."
"No ka wai me ka nui o nā mea haumia, hiki koke ka kānana i kona mana ma mua o ka wai i haumia ʻole," wahi a Campbell.
"ʻO ka maʻamau, hiki i nā kānana wai canister ke paʻa i 40-100 galani a mau no 2 a 4 mau mahina. E kōkua kēia iā ʻoe e hoʻoholo i nā kumukūʻai hoʻololi kānana makahiki e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i kāu ʻōnaehana."
"Hiki i ka pahu kānana ke hilinaʻi i ka umekaumaha e huki i ka wai mai ka waihona wai luna a ma o ke kānana," wahi a Campbell. "Hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo e lawe ka hana kānana holoʻokoʻa a hiki i 20 mau minuke, ma muli o ka makahiki o ka ʻāpana kānana a me ka ukana haumia."
"He nui nā nui o nā ʻōmole kānana, akā ma ke ʻano laulā hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo e hāʻawi lākou i ka wai kānana lawa no hoʻokahi kanaka," wahi a Campbell. "Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa nā mea hoʻopuka nui aʻe e hoʻohana ana i ka ʻenehana kānana like me kā lākou mau ʻōmole liʻiliʻi."
"He mea maʻalahi paha ia e ʻōlelo, akā he mea nui e hōʻoia ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu ka ipu i nā kemika i loko o ka wai i kānana ʻia! ʻO ka hapa nui o nā mīkini hana hou he BPA-free, akā pono ke nānā ʻia e palekana," wahi a Campbell.
ʻO ka palapala hoʻokō a ka mea hana he hōʻailona ikaika ia o ko lākou hilinaʻi i kā lākou huahana, wahi a Campbell. E ʻimi i nā mea e hāʻawi ana i ka liʻiliʻi o kahi palapala hoʻokō ʻeono mahina - hāʻawi nā kānana pitcher maikaʻi loa i kahi palapala hoʻokō no ke ola holoʻokoʻa e pani i ka ʻāpana holoʻokoʻa inā haki!
"Ua hoʻāʻo ʻia nā ʻōmole wai kānana maʻemaʻe e like me nā kūlana NSF 42, 53, 244, 401 a me 473 e wehe i nā mea haumia a hiki i 365," wahi a Campbell. "ʻO kēia kekahi o nā mea haumia paʻakikī e like me ka fluoride, ke kēpau, ka arsenic, ka bacteria, a pēlā aku. He ola kānana maikaʻi ko 100 galani (ma muli o ke kumu o ka wai e kānana ʻia ana)."
Eia kekahi, hele mai kēia ʻōmole me kahi palapala hoʻokō no ke ola holoʻokoʻa, no laila inā haki ia, e pani hou ka ʻoihana iā ia me ka manuahi!
"ʻOi aku ka nui o ka wai kānana o kēia dispenser ma mua o ka ʻōmole a hiki iā ia ke wehe i ka fluoride a me 199 mau mea haumia ʻē aʻe i loaʻa pinepine i ka wai paipa," wahi a Campbell, nāna i makemake nui i kēia koho no ka mea kūpono ia i ka hapa nui o nā pahu hau.
"Ua hōʻoia kūhelu ʻia ka ipu polyurethane e NSF i nā kūlana NSF 42, 53, a me 401. ʻOiai ʻaʻole lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ke kānana e like me kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe (40 galani wale nō), he koho kālā maikaʻi kēia ipu no ka wehe ʻana i ke kēpau a me nā wai ʻē aʻe o ke kūlanakauhale. 19," wahi a Campbell.
Paipai ʻo Campbell i ka mea hoʻolei Propur no ka poʻe makemake ʻole e hoʻololi pinepine i nā cartridges.
"Me ka nui o ka mana kānana he 225 galani, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo e pili ana i ka pinepine o kou hoʻololi ʻana i ke kānana," wahi āna. "He kūpono ka ʻōmole ProOne i ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā mea haumia [a] hiki ke wehe i nā ʻano haumia he 200 a ʻoi."
"E wehe ka pH Restore Pitcher i nā mea haumia nani, e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻono a me ke ʻala o ka wai, me ka hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻana i ka pae pH ma 2.0," wahi a Campbell. "E ʻono maikaʻi ka wai alkaline a hiki ke hāʻawi i nā pono olakino hou aʻe."
