Mō te oranga hauora (mō te oranga noa iho rānei), he mea nui te inu wai. Ahakoa he maha ngā tāngata o Amerika e whakamahi ana i ngā taputapu horoi wai, nā te maha o ngā hiri e kitea ana i roto i ētahi wai taputapu, kāore e taea te inu. He waimarie, kei a tātou ngā tātari wai me ngā pūnaha tātari.
Ahakoa he rerekē ngā waitohu e hokona ana mō ngā tātari wai, kāore i te rite katoa. Hei kawe mai i te wai parakore rawa atu me ngā hua e tino whai hua ana, i uiuitia e The Post te tohunga maimoatanga wai, a Brian Campbell, te kaiwhakaū o WaterFilterGuru.com.
I pātai atu mātou ki a ia mō ngā taipitopito katoa mō te whiriwhiri i te ipu tātari wai pai rawa atu, me pēhea te whakamātautau i te kounga o tō wai, ngā painga hauora o te wai kua tātarihia, me ētahi atu mea i mua i te ruku hohonu ki ana whiringa matua e rima mō ngā ipu tātari wai pai rawa atu.
Me whai whakaaro ngā kaihoko ki ēnei mea e whai ake nei i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi tātari wai mō ō rātou kāinga, e ai ki a Campbell: te whakamātautau me te tiwhikete, te roa o te tātari (te kaha) me te utu whakakapinga, te tere tātari, te kaha wai tātari, te kirihou kore-BPA, me te pūtāhui.
"Ka taea e te tātari wai pai te tango i ngā poke kei roto i te puna wai kua tātarihia," te kōrero a Campbell ki te Post. "Ehara i te mea he rite tonu ngā poke kei roto i ngā wai katoa, ā, ehara i te mea ka tangohia e ngā hangarau tātari wai katoa ngā poke."
"He mea pai tonu te whakamātautau i te kounga o tō wai i te tuatahi kia mārama ake ai koe ki te āhua o te wai e pāngia ana e koe. Mai i reira, whakamahia ngā raraunga o ngā hua whakamātautau hei tautuhi i ngā tātari wai hei whakaiti i ngā poke o nāianei."
I runga i te nui o te moni e pai ana koe ki te whakapau, he maha ngā huarahi hei whakamātautau i tō wai i te kāinga kia kitea ai he aha ngā poke e pāngia ana e koe.
"E ai ki te ture, me whakaputa e ngā kaiwhakarato wai ā-rohe katoa he pūrongo ā-tau mō te kounga o te wai e tukuna ana e rātou ki ā rātou kiritaki. Ahakoa he tīmatanga pai tēnei, he iti noa ngā pūrongo nā te mea ka whakaratohia noa ngā mōhiohio i te wā e tangohia ana te tauira mai i tētahi tipu tukatuka," te kī a Campbell.
"Kāore e whakaaturia mēnā kua poke anō te wai i tōna taenga mai ki tō kāinga. Ko ngā tauira tino rongonui ko te poke mata mai i ngā hanganga tawhito, i ngā paipa rānei," te whakamārama a Campbell. "Mēnā nō tētahi puna tūmataiti tō wai, kāore e taea e koe te whakamahi i te CCR. Ka taea e koe te whakamahi i tēnei taputapu EPA ki te kimi i tō CCR ā-rohe."
"Mā ngā kete whakamātautau mahi-ā-koe, ngā rīpene whakamātautau rānei, e wātea whānuitia ana i runga ipurangi, i tō toa taputapu ā-rohe, i tō toa hokohoko nui rānei, ka kitea te aroaro o tētahi rōpū kua tohua (10-20 te nuinga) o ngā poke tino kitea i roto i te wai o te tāone," te kī a Campbell. Ko te ngoikoretanga, kāore ēnei kete taputapu i te whānui, i te tino whakatau rānei. Kāore e hoatu he pikitia katoa mō ngā poke katoa. Kāore e kī atu ki a koe te kukū tika o te poke."
"Ko te whakamātautau taiwhanga anake te huarahi hei whiwhi i te pikitia katoa o te kounga o te wai. Ka whiwhi koe i tētahi pūrongo mō ngā poke kei roto, me te nui o ngā kukū," te kōrero a Campbell ki te Post. "Koinei anake te whakamātautau ka taea te whakarato i ngā raraunga tika e hiahiatia ana hei whakatau mēnā e tika ana te maimoatanga - mēnā e wātea ana."
E taunaki ana a Campbell i te Tap Score a Simple Lab, me te kī koia pea "te hua whakamātautau taiwhanga pai rawa atu e wātea ana."
"Ko te tiwhikete motuhake mai i te NSF International, i te Water Quality Association (WQA) rānei te tohu pai rawa atu e tutuki ana i te tātari ngā whakaritenga a te kaihanga," tana kī.
"Ko te kaha o te tātari ko te nui o te wai ka taea te haere mā roto i mua i te kapi i ngā poke, ā, me whakakapi," te kī a Campbell. E ai ki te kōrero i mua ake nei, "He mea nui kia mārama koe ki ngā mea ka tangohia e koe i te wai kia mōhio ai koe ki te auau o te whakawhiti i te tātari."
"Mō te wai he nui ake te kukū o ngā poke, ka tere ake te eke o te tātari ki tōna kaha i tērā mō te wai he iti ake te poke," te kī a Campbell.
"I te nuinga o te wā, ka taea e ngā tātari wai ipu te pupuri i te 40-100 karani wai, ā, ka roa mō te 2 ki te 4 marama. Mā tēnei koe e āwhina ki te whakatau i ngā utu whakakapinga tātari ā-tau e pā ana ki te tiaki i tō pūnaha."
"E whakawhirinaki ana te ipu tātari ki te kaha ā-papa hei kukume i te wai mai i te puna wai o runga, mā roto hoki i te tātari," te whakamārama a Campbell. "E 20 meneti pea te roa o te tukanga tātari katoa, i runga i te pakeke o te wae tātari me te kawenga poke."
"He maha ngā rahi o ngā ipu tātari, engari i te nuinga o te wā ka taea e koe te whakaaro ka nui te wai tātari mō te tangata kotahi," te kī a Campbell. "Ka kitea hoki e koe ngā ipu tātari nui ake e whakamahi ana i te hangarau tātari kotahi me ā rātou ipu iti ake."
"Ehara i te mea nui kia mōhiotia whānuitia, engari he mea nui kia kore e mimiti ngā matū i roto i te ipu wai kua tātarihia! Ko te nuinga o ngā taputapu hou he kore-BPA, engari he mea tika kia tirohia kia haumaru ai," te kī a Campbell.
"He tohu kaha te pūtāhui a te kaihanga mō tō rātou whakapono ki tā rātou hua," te kī a Campbell. Rapua ngā mea e tuku ana i te pūtāhui e ono marama te roa - ko ngā tātari ipu pai rawa atu e tuku ana i te pūtāhui mō te wā katoa ka whakakapi i te waeine katoa mēnā ka pakaru!"
"Kua whakamatautauria ngā pounamu wai kua tātarihia kia rite ki ngā paerewa NSF 42, 53, 244, 401 me te 473 hei tango i te 365 ngā poke," te kī a Campbell. "Kei roto i tēnei ko ngā poke uaua pērā i te fluoride, te mata, te arsenic, te huakita, me ētahi atu. He pai te roa o te tātari 100 karani (i runga i te pūtake o te wai e tātarihia ana)."
Hei tāpiri, kei roto i tēnei hāte he pūtāhui mō te wa katoa, nō reira, ki te pakaru, ka whakakapia kore utu e te kamupene!
"He nui ake te wai tātari o tēnei ipu tākai i te hāte, ā, ka taea e ia te tango i te pūhaumāota me ētahi atu poke e 199 e kitea ana i roto i te wai puna," te kī a Campbell, e tino pai ana ki tēnei kōwhiringa nā te mea he tino pai te uru ki te nuinga o ngā pouaka whakamātao.
"Kua whai tiwhikete NSF te ipu polyurethane ki ngā paerewa NSF 42, 53, me te 401. Ahakoa kāore te tātari e roa pērā i ētahi atu (40 karani anake), he kōwhiringa pai tēnei ipu mō te tango i te mata me ētahi atu poke wai o te tāone," te kī a Campbell.
E taunaki ana a Campbell i te pōro Propur mō te hunga kāore e hiahia ki te whakawhiti i ngā kāteretere i ngā wā katoa.
"Me te kaha tātari nui 225 karani, kāore koe e manukanuka ki te auau o te whakawhiti i te tātari," tana kī. "He whai hua te ipu ProOne ki te whakaiti i ngā poke [ā,] ka taea e ia te tango i ngā momo poke neke atu i te 200."
"Ka tangohia e te pH Restore Pitcher ngā poke ataahua, ka whakapai ake i te reka me te kakara o te wai, ā, ka whakapiki ake i te taumata pH mā te 2.0," te kī a Campbell. "Ka reka ake te wai kawakore, ā, tera pea ka puta he painga hauora anō."
