Ku bijyanye n'ubuzima bwiza (cyangwa ubuzima gusa), kunywa amazi ni ingenzi cyane. Nubwo abaturage benshi bo muri Amerika bashobora kubona robine, umubare w'udupfukamunwa tuboneka mu mazi amwe n'amwe y'amazi ushobora gutuma adapfa kunyobwa. Ku bw'amahirwe, dufite uburyo bwo kuyungurura amazi n'amazi ayungurura amazi.
Nubwo ibyuma biyungurura amazi bigurishwa ku bicuruzwa bitandukanye, si byose bimwe. Kugira ngo tukuzanire amazi meza ashoboka n'ibicuruzwa bikora neza, The Post yaganiriye n'impuguke mu gutunganya amazi, "Impuguke Iyoboye mu Kuvura Amazi" Brian Campbell, washinze WaterFilterGuru.com.
Twamubajije ibisobanuro birambuye ku bijyanye no guhitamo umucunga amazi mwiza, uburyo bwo gupima ubuziranenge bw'amazi yawe, akamaro k'amazi ayunguruye ku buzima, n'ibindi byinshi mbere yo gusuzuma amahitamo ye atanu ya mbere ku mucunga amazi mwiza.
Campbell yavuze ko abaguzi bagomba kuzirikana ibi bikurikira mu gihe bahitamo akayunguruzo k'amazi mu rugo rwabo: ibizamini n'icyemezo, igihe kayunguruzo gahoraho (ubushobozi) n'igiciro cyo gusimbuza, igipimo cyo kuyungurura, ubushobozi bw'amazi yayunguruwe, plastiki idafite BPA, na garanti.
“Akayunguruzo keza k’amazi gashobora gukuraho imyanda iri mu isoko y’amazi yayunguruwe,” Campbell yabwiye The Post. “Amazi yose ntabwo arimo imyanda imwe, kandi si ikoranabuhanga ryose ryo kuyungurura amazi rikuraho imyanda imwe.”
“Ni byiza buri gihe kubanza gupima ubuziranenge bw'amazi yawe kugira ngo umenye neza icyo urimo guhangana nacyo. Kuva aho, koresha amakuru y'ibyavuye mu isuzuma kugira ngo umenye akayunguruzo k'amazi kazagabanya imyanda isanzwe.”
Bitewe n'amafaranga witeguye gukoresha, hari uburyo butandukanye bwo gupima amazi yawe mu rugo kugira ngo urebe ibintu byanduye urimo guhangana na byo.
“Abatanga amazi bose bo mu mujyi basabwa n’amategeko gutangaza raporo y’umwaka ku bwiza bw’amazi batanga ku bakiriya babo. Nubwo iyi ari intangiriro nziza, raporo ziragarukira aho zitanga amakuru gusa mu gihe cyo gupima amazi yakuwe mu ruganda rutunganya amazi,” nk’uko Campbell yabitangaje.
“Ntibazagaragaza niba amazi yongeye kwanduzwa mu nzira ajya iwawe. Ingero zizwi cyane ni umwanda w’amazi uturuka ku bikorwa remezo bishaje cyangwa imiyoboro,” Campbell asobanura. “Niba amazi yawe aturuka mu iriba ryigenga, ntushobora gukoresha CCR. Ushobora gukoresha iki gikoresho cya EPA kugira ngo ubone CCR yo mu gace utuyemo.”
Campbell yagize ati: “Imashini zo gupima cyangwa udupapuro tw’ibizamini wikorere, biboneka cyane kuri interineti no mu iduka ry’ibikoresho byo mu gace utuyemo cyangwa mu iduka rinini ry’ibikoresho, bizagaragaza ko hari itsinda ryatoranijwe (ubusanzwe 10-20) ry’ibintu bikunze kwanduza amazi mu mujyi.” Ikibi ni uko ibi bikoresho bitaba byuzuye kandi bidasobanutse neza. Ntabwo biguha ishusho yuzuye y’ibintu byose bishobora kwanduza. Ntabwo bikubwira ingano nyayo y’ibintu bihumanya.”
“Gupima muri laboratwari ni bwo buryo bwonyine bwo kubona ishusho yuzuye y’ubuziranenge bw’amazi. Ubona raporo y’ibintu byanduye biriho n’ingano yabyo,” Campbell yabwiye ikinyamakuru Post. “Iki ni cyo kizamini cyonyine gishobora gutanga amakuru nyayo akenewe kugira ngo hamenyekane niba hakenewe ubuvuzi bukwiye – niba buhari.”
Campbell aragira inama Simple Lab's Tap Score, avuga ko ari "bishoboka ko ari cyo gikoresho cyiza cyane cyo gupima muri laboratwari."
“Icyemezo cyigenga cyatanzwe na NSF International cyangwa Ishyirahamwe ry’Ubuziranenge bw’Amazi (WQA) ni cyo kimenyetso cyiza cyerekana ko akayunguruzo kujuje ibisabwa n’uruganda,” nk’uko abivuga.
Campbell yagize ati: “Ingufu zikoreshwa mu kayunguruzo ni ingano y’amazi ashobora kunyuramo mbere yuko yuzuramo imyanda kandi agomba gusimbuzwa.” Nkuko byavuzwe mbere, “Ni ngombwa gusobanukirwa icyo uzakura mu mazi kugira ngo umenye inshuro ugomba guhindura kayunguruzo.”
Campbell yagize ati: “Ku mazi afite ibintu byinshi bihumanya, akayunguruzo kagera ku bushobozi bwako vuba kurusha amazi adahumanye cyane.”
“Ubusanzwe, ibyuma biyungurura amazi bifite litiro 40-100 kandi bimara amezi 2 kugeza kuri 4. Ibi bizagufasha kumenya ikiguzi cy’umwaka cyo gusimbuza ibyuma bijyana no kubungabunga sisitemu yawe.”
Campbell asobanura agira ati: “Akabati k’urufunguzo gakoresha imbaraga rukuruzi kugira ngo gakurure amazi mu kigega cyo hejuru no mu kayunguruzo. Ushobora kwitega ko inzira yose yo kuyungurura izamara iminota 20, bitewe n’imyaka y’ikintu cy’urufunguzo n’umutwaro w’umwanda.”
Campbell agira ati: “Amacupa yo kuyungurura aza mu bunini butandukanye, ariko muri rusange ushobora gutekereza ko azatanga amazi ahagije ku muntu umwe. Ushobora kandi kubona utumashini dutanga amazi twinshi dukoresha ikoranabuhanga rimwe n’amacupa yabo mato.”
“Biragaragara ko nta gushidikanya, ariko ni ngombwa kugenzura ko ikigega kidashyira imiti mu mazi yayunguruwe! Ibikoresho byinshi bigezweho nta BPA irimo, ariko birakwiye kugenzura ko ari umutekano,” Campbell aravuga.
Campbell avuga ko garanti y'uruganda ari ikimenyetso gikomeye cy'uko rwizeye ibicuruzwa byabo. Shaka garanti y'amezi atandatu nibura - ibyuma byiza byo gupima bitanga garanti y'ubuzima bwose izasimbura icyuma cyose nigipfa!
“Amacupa y’amazi meza yagenzuwe hakurikijwe amabwiriza ya NSF 42, 53, 244, 401 na 473 kugira ngo akureho imyanda igera kuri 365,” uko ni ko Campbell abivuga. “Ibi birimo imyanda ikomeye nka fluoride, lisade, arsenic, bagiteri, nibindi. Ifite ubuzima bwiza bwo kuyungurura litiro 100 (bitewe n’aho amazi ayungururwa aturuka).”
Byongeye kandi, iyi kombe iza ifite garanti y'ubuzima bwose, bityo niramuka ivunitse, sosiyete izayisimbuza ubuntu!
Campbell, ukunda cyane ubu buryo kuko bukwiranye neza na firigo nyinshi, agira ati: “Iki gikoresho gifite amazi menshi yayunguruwe kurusha ikibindi kandi gishobora gukuramo fluoride ndetse n’ibindi bintu 199 bikunze kuboneka mu mazi ya robine.”
Campbell yagize ati: “Icupa rya polyurethane ryemejwe ku mugaragaro na NSF hakurikijwe amahame ya NSF 42, 53, na 401. Nubwo akayunguruzo kadamara igihe kinini nk’amwe mu yandi (galoni 40 gusa), aka gacupa ni amahitamo meza yo gukuraho imyuka y’ubutare n’indi myanda 19 yo mu mujyi.”
Campbell atanga inama yo gukoresha Propur pitcher ku bantu badashaka guhinduranya amakaritike kenshi.
Agira ati: “Kubera ko ifite ubushobozi bunini bwo gushungura galoni 225, ntugomba guhangayikishwa n’inshuro ugomba guhindura akayunguruzo.” Aka gacupa ka ProOne gatanga umusaruro mu kugabanya imyanda kandi gashobora gukuraho ubwoko burenga 200 bw’imyanda.”
Campbell agira ati: “Imashini yo kugarura pH izakuraho ibintu bihumanya ubwiza, ikongera uburyohe n'impumuro y'amazi, mu gihe izamura urugero rwa pH ho 2.0.” “Amazi ya alkali [aza]rushaho kuryoha kandi ashobora gutanga izindi nyungu ku buzima.”
