Amanzi awuketshezi olusekela impilo, kodwa uma uphuza amanzi ngqo empompini, kungenzeka angagcini nje ngokuqukatha i-H2O. Ngokusho kwedatha ebanzi yamanzi empompini ye-Environmental Working Group (EWG), eqoqa imiphumela yokuhlolwa kwezinsiza zamanzi e-United States, amanzi kweminye imiphakathi angase abe namakhemikhali angaba yingozi. Nansi imicabango yami yokuthi ungaqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi amanzi akho awalimazi impilo yakho.
Kungani amanzi akho ompompi engase angahlanzeki njengoba ucabanga.
Ngisho namanzi “ahlanzekile” okuphuza empompini akuwona amanzi amaningi esiwacabanga njengamanzi ahlanzekile. Adlula emakhilomitha amaningi amapayipi, eqoqa ukungcola kanye nokugeleza kwamanzi endleleni. Kungenzeka futhi ukuthi ahlanzwe ngamakhemikhali, okungase kushiye umkhiqizo ongabangela umdlavuza1. (Into eyodwa ebalulekile okufanele uyiqaphele: ukuhlanza amagciwane kubalulekile. Ngaphandle kwawo, izifo ezibangelwa amanzi ziyoba yinkinga eqhubekayo.)
Ngokusho kocwaningo lwe-EWG, ngesikhathi sokubhala leli phepha, cishe abantu abangu-85% baphuza amanzi ompompi aqukethe ukungcola okungaphezu kuka-300, okungaphezu kwengxenye yawo okwakungalawulwa yi-EPA 2. Faka ohlwini olukhulayo lwamakhemikhali amasha avela cishe nsuku zonke, futhi amanzi angase abe mdaka kakhulu ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Yini okufanele uyiphuze esikhundleni salokho.
Ukuthi nje umpompi wakho ungase ube nezinkinga akusho ukuthi kufanele uthenge amanzi asemabhodleleni esikhundleni salokho. Imakethe yamanzi asemabhodleleni cishe ayilawulwa, futhi ngisho ne-EPA ithi akuphephile ngempela kunompompi. 3. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanzi asemabhodleleni ayingozi kakhulu emvelweni: ngokusho kwe-Pacific Research Institute, cishe imiphongolo kawoyela eyizigidi ezingu-17 ifakwa emabhodleleni epulasitiki ngonyaka. Okubi nakakhulu, ngenxa yesilinganiso esiphansi sokusetshenziswa kabusha e-United States, cishe izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zala mabhodlela zizogqitshwa noma ekugcineni zingene olwandle, zingcolise amanzi futhi zilimaze izilwane zasendle.
Ngiphakamisa ukuthi ungahambi ngale ndlela, kodwa ukuhlunga amanzi ekhaya. Okungcono kakhulu, ungathenga izinhlelo zokuhlunga indlu yonke - kodwa zingabiza kakhulu. Uma lokhu kungekho ekhadini, tshala imali kumayunithi ahlukene ompompi wakho wasekhishini kanye neshawa. (Uma ukhathazekile ngempela ngeshawa yakho, ngiphakamisa nokuthi ugeze ngamanzi abandayo, ukuze izikhala zakho zingavuleki ezingcoleni ezingaba khona.)
Okufanele ukubheke esihlungini samanzi.
Okokuqala, udinga ukuqinisekisa ukuthi noma yisiphi isihlungi osithengayo siqinisekiswe yi-NSF International, inhlangano ezimele engenzi nzuzo ephethe ukuhlola nokuqinisekisa ikhono lesihlungi lokususa ukungcola okuthile. Ukusuka lapho, unganquma ukuthi yisiphi isihlungi esifanele umndeni wakho nendlela yakho yokuphila: ngaphansi kwetafula, itafula noma ithangi lamanzi.
Izihlungi ezingaphansi kwekhawunta zinhle kakhulu, ngoba zifihliwe ukuze zingabonwa, futhi zilinganiswa kakhulu ngokwezinga lokuhlunga. Kodwa-ke, intengo yokuqala yokuthenga kanye nezindleko ngegaloni kungaba phezulu kunezinye izinketho futhi kuhilele ukufakwa okuthile.
· Izihlungi ze-countertopisebenzisa umfutho wamanzi ukwenza amanzi adlule enkambisweni yokuhlunga, okusiza ekwenzeni amanzi abe nempilo futhi abe mnandi kakhulu, futhi kususwe ukungcola okuningi kunohlelo olujwayelekile lwethangi lamanzi. Uhlelo lwekhawunta ludinga ukufakwa okuncane (ipayipi elincane, kodwa alunazo izinto ezihlala njalo) futhi luthatha amasentimitha ambalwa kuphela esikhala sekhawunta.
· Ama-pitcher amanzizilungele kakhulu abantu abanesikhala esincane, ngoba kulula ukuzithwala, akudingeki zifakwe, zingafakwa kalula esiqandisini, futhi zingathengwa cishe kuwo wonke amakhona omgwaqo. Zenza umsebenzi omuhle wokuhlunga ezinye zezinto ezingcolisayo ezinkulu, kodwa ngokuvamile azifani nezinguqulo ezingaphansi kwekhawunta kanye netafula. Nakuba ukutshalwa kwezimali kokuqala kuncane, isihlungi sidinga ukushintshwa njalo, okuzokhulisa izindleko ngegaloni uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izindlela. Ithangi lamanzi engilithandayo (nalelo esilisebenzisa ehhovisi) yi-Aquasana Powered Water Filtration System.
Ukuhlunga amanzi kuyindlela elula yokusekela impilo yakho, futhi kunezindlela eziningi zokwenza lokho. Ngizophuza!
