Ndanga ndichiedza maSefa emvura eWirecutter kubvira 2016. Mumushumo wangu, ndakataura kwenguva refu neNSF neWater Quality Institute, masangano maviri makuru ekupa zvitupa muUnited States, kuti anzwisise kuti kuyedzwa kwavo kunoitwa sei.Ndakabvunzurudza vamiriri kubva kune vakawanda vanogadzira mafirita emvura kuti vapokane zvavanotaura.Ini ndashandisa akati wandei mafirita nemapitcher mumakore nekuti kusimba kwese, kureruka uye mutengo wekugadzirisa, uye hushamwari hwemushandisi zvese zvakakosha kune chimwe chinhu chaunoshandisa kakawanda pazuva.
Aimbove musayendisiti weNOAA John Holecek akatsvaga uye akanyora vhezheni yekutanga yegwaro iri, akaita bvunzo dzake, uye akapa kumwe kuedzwa kwakazvimirira.
Gwaro iri ndereavo vanoda pitcher-style sefa yemvura inozadza mvura yavo yepombi voichengeta mufiriji yavo.
Chakanakira pitcher sefa ndechekuti iri nyore kushandisa.Zvese zvaunofanirwa kuita kuazadza kubva papombi uye kumirira kuti sefa ishande.Iwo zvakare anowanzove akachipa kutenga, ane ekutsiva mafirita (anowanzodiwa mwedzi miviri yega yega) anowanzo kudhura isingasviki $15.

Kuvimba kwavo negiravhiti kunorevawo kuti mafirita emugaba anononoka: kuzadzwa kamwe chete kwemvura kubva padhamu repamusoro kunogona kutora maminetsi mashanu kusvika gumi nemashanu kuti ipfuure nepasefa, uye kazhinji inoda matop-ups akati wandei kuti uwane chirongo chizere chemvura yakachena..
Pitcher mafirita anowanzo kuvharika nekuda kwekudonha mumvura yepombi kana kunyange mabhuru madiki emhepo kubva kune faucet aerators.
Nezvikonzero izvi, tinokurudzira kuisa sefa pasi pekugezera kana papombi kana mamiriro achida.
MuUnited States, migove yemvura yeveruzhinji inodzorwa neEnvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) pasi peSafe Drinking Water Act, uye mvura inosiya veruzhinji mishonga yekuchenesa mvura inofanirwa kusangana nemhando dzakasimba.Zvisinei, hazvisi zvose zvinogona kusvibisa zvinodzorwa.

Iyo yepamusoro SimpleLab Tap Score yemunisiparati yemvura bvunzo inopa ongororo yakazara yemvura yako yekunwa uye inopa-nyore kuverenga mhinduro.
Kuti tive nechokwadi chekuti isu tinongokurudzira mafirita aunogona kuvimba nawo, takagara tichisimbirira kuti sarudzo dzedu dzizadzise chiyero chegoridhe: ANSI/NSF certification.IAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) neNational Science Foundation (NSF) masangano akazvimiririra, asina purofiti anoshanda neEnvironment Protection Agency, vagadziri uye dzimwe nyanzvi kuvandudza hutsinye hwemhando uye kuyedza zviuru zvezvigadzirwa, zvinosanganisira mapuroteni emvura.sefa.

Marabhoritari maviri makuru ekusefa zvitupa iNSF pachayo neMvura Quality Association (WQA).Vese vari vaviri vakatenderwa zvizere neANSI uye Canadian Standards Council muNorth America uye vanogona kuita ANSI/NSF certification test.
Asi mushure memakore ekukakavadzana kwemukati, isu zvino tinobvumawo mutauro wakasununguka we "kuedzwa kune ANSI / NSF zviyero" pane kupihwa certified, zvichienderana nemamiriro mashoma akasimba: Chekutanga, kuyedzwa kunoitwa nerabhoritari yakazvimirira, kwete neyakazvimirira. rabhoritari.Sefa mugadziri;Chechipiri, rabhoritari pachayo inotenderwa ne ANSI kana mamwe masangano enyika kana asiri ehurumende akaenzana kuti aite bvunzo dzakasimba kune dzakatarwa zviyero;Chechitatu, laboratori yekuyedza, mhedzisiro yayo uye nzira dzinoburitswa nemugadziri;Chechina, Mugadziri ane ruzivo rwakakura mukugadzira mafirita anoratidza kuchengetedzwa kwavo, kuvimbika uye anotsanangurwa zvakatendeseka.

Yedu inotevera yekuyedza inotarisa pane chaiyo-yepasirese yekushandisa, pamwe neanoshanda maficha uye zvikanganiso zvinongoonekwa kana iwe uchinge watanga kushandisa zvigadzirwa nekufamba kwenguva.
Iyi modhi ine zvinopfuura makumi matatu ANSI/NSF zvitupa-kupfuura chero sefa mukirasi yayo-uye yakagadzirirwa kugara mwedzi mitanhatu pakati pekutsiva.Asi, semasefa ese, anogona kuvharika.
Brita Elite (yaimbova Longlast +) mafirita ndeye ANSI/NSF yakatenderwa kuona zvinopfuura makumi matatu zvinosvibisa (PDF), zvinosanganisira lead, mecury, microplastics, asbestos, uye maviri akajairika PFAS: perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) uye perfluorinated octane sulfonic acid (PFOS).Izvi zvinoita kuti ive yakanyanya certified pitcher sefa yatakaedza, uye imwe yatinokurudzira kune avo vanoda runyararo rwepfungwa rwakanyanya.
Zvinoratidzwa kubvisa mamwe akawanda akajairika mavara.Izvi zvinosanganisira chlorine (iyo inowedzerwa kumvura kuderedza mabhakitiriya nezvimwe zvirwere uye ndicho chikonzero chikuru che "kuravira kwakashata" mumvura yepombi);kabhoni tetrachloride, inoputika organic compound inokuvadza chiropa;inogona kuwedzera kuwanikwa mumvura yepombi.“Mishonga mitsva” yakawanwa, kubatanidza bisphenol A (BPA), DEET (chipembenene chinodzinga zvipembenene) uye estrone (chimiro chokugadzira cheestrogen).
Nepo mafirita mazhinji ane kutenderera kutenderera kwegaroni makumi mana kana mwedzi miviri, iyo Elite ine kutsiva kutenderera kwe120 magaroni kana mwedzi mitanhatu.Mupfungwa, izvi zvinoreva kuti unongoda kushandisa maErite mafirita maviri pagore pane matanhatu, kugadzira marara mashoma uye kuderedza mari yekuzadzazve ne50%.
