He wai ora te wai, engari ki te inu tika koe i te wai mai i te puna wai, tera pea ehara i te mea ko te H2O anake kei roto. E ai ki te pātengi raraunga wai puna wai whānui a te Environmental Working Group (EWG), e kohikohi ana i ngā hua o ngā whakamātautau a ngā ratonga wai i te United States, tera pea kei roto i te wai i ētahi hapori ngā matū kino pea. Anei aku whakaaro mō te whakarite kia kore tō wai e kino ki tō hauora.
He aha pea kāore tō wai tap i te ma e ai ki tō whakaaro.
Ahakoa te wai inu "ma" mai i te puna wai, ehara i te mea e whakaarohia ana e te nuinga o tātou he wai ma. Ka haere mā roto i ngā paipa maha, ka kohia ngā poke me ngā rerenga wai i te ara. Tērā pea kua horoia ki ngā matū, ka waiho pea he hua taha ka puta he mate pukupuku1. (He mea nui kia mōhiotia: he mea nui te patu huakita. Ki te kore, ka noho ngā mate wai hei raruraru pumau.)
E ai ki te rangahau a EWG, i te wā i tuhia ai tēnei pepa, tata ki te 85% o te taupori i inu i te wai puna kei roto neke atu i te 300 ngā poke, neke atu i te haurua o ēnei kāore i raro i te ture EPA 2. Tāpirihia atu ki te rārangi tipu haere o ngā matū hou e puta tata ana i ia rā, ā, ka nui haere te paru o te wai i roto i te wā.
He aha te mea hei inu māu.
Ahakoa he raru pea tō pūwero, ehara i te mea me hoko wai pounamu koe. Kāore i te tino ture te mākete wai pounamu, ā, e kī ana te EPA ehara i te mea he haumaru ake i te pūwero. 3. Hei tāpiri, he tino kino te wai pounamu ki te taiao: e ai ki te Pacific Research Institute, tata ki te 17 miriona oko hinu ka uru ki roto i ngā pounamu kirihou i ia tau. Ko te mea kino rawa atu, nā te iti o te auau hangarua i te United States, tata ki te rua hautoru o ēnei pounamu ka tanumia, ka uru rānei ki te moana, ka poke i ngā wai, ka whara hoki i ngā kararehe mohoao.
Kaua e whai i tēnei huarahi, engari me tātari wai i te kāinga. Ko te mea pai, ka taea e koe te hoko i ngā pūnaha tātari mō te whare katoa – engari he tino utu nui. Ki te kore tēnei e wātea, haumi ki ngā waeine motuhake mō tō taputapu kīhini me te kaukau. (Ki te tino āwangawanga koe mō tō kaukau, me kaukau koe i te wai matao, kia kore ai ō pūwero e tuwhera ki ngā poke pea.)
Ngā mea hei tirotiro mā te tātari wai.
Tuatahi, me whakarite koe kua manatokohia tetahi tātari ka hokona e koe e NSF International, he whakahaere kore-moni motuhake e whai kawenga ana mō te whakamātautau me te manatoko i te kaha o te tātari ki te tango i ētahi poke. Mai i reira, ka taea e koe te whakatau ko tēhea tātari te mea tino pai mō tō whānau me tō momo noho: i raro i te tēpu, i runga tēpu, i te tāke wai rānei.
Ngā tātari i raro i te kaute he rawe, nā te mea e huna ana i te tirohanga, ā, he tino pai te tātari. Heoi, ko te utu hoko tuatahi me te utu mō ia karani he nui ake pea i ētahi atu kōwhiringa, ā, me whakauru ētahi tāutanga.
· Ngā tātari papa kauteKa whakamahia te pēhanga wai hei whakamātau i te wai kia tika mā roto i te tukanga tātari, ā, ka āwhina tēnei ki te whakapai ake i te hauora me te reka o te wai, ā, ka tangohia atu hoki ngā poke nui atu i te pūnaha tāke wai paerewa. He iti noa te tāutanga o te pūnaha papa kaute (he ngongo iti, engari kāore he taputapu pumau) ā, he torutoru inihi noa iho te wāhi e hiahiatia ana i roto i te papa kaute.
· Ngā ipu waiHe tino pai mō te hunga he iti te wāhi, nā te mea he ngāwari ki te kawe, kāore e hiahiatia kia tāutahia, ka taea te whakauru ki roto i te pouaka whakamātao, ā, ka taea te hoko tata ki ngā kokonga o te tiriti. He pai te mahi tātari i ētahi o ngā poke nui, engari kāore i te rite te nui ki ngā momo i raro i te kaute me runga i te tēpu. Ahakoa he iti te haumitanga tuatahi, me whakakapi pinepine te tātari, ka piki ake te utu mō ia karani ki te whakataurite ki ētahi atu tikanga. Ko taku tāke wai tino pai (koinei hoki tā mātou e whakamahi ana i te tari) ko te Pūnaha Tātari Wai Aquasana Powered.
He huarahi māmā te tātari wai hei tautoko i tō hauora, ā, he maha ngā huarahi hei mahi i tēnei. Ka inu ahau!
