Tave tichiita tsvakiridzo yakazvimiririra uye kuyedza zvigadzirwa kwemakore anopfuura 120. Kana ukatenga kuburikidza nemalink edu, tinogona kuwana komisheni. Dzidza zvakawanda nezvemaitiro edu ekuongorora.
Kana uchida mvura yepombi yemvura zuva nezuva, inguva yekuisa sefa yemvura mukicheni yako. Masefa emvura akagadzirirwa kuchenesa mvura nekubvisa zvinhu zvinokuvadza zvakaita sechlorine, lead nemishonga yezvipembenene, uye mwero wekubvisa mvura unosiyana zvichienderana nekuoma kwesefa. Anogonawo kuvandudza kunaka uye, mune dzimwe nguva, kujeka kwemvura.
Kuti vawane sefa yemvura yakanakisisa, nyanzvi dzepaGood Housekeeping Institute dzakaongorora nekunyatsoongorora mafirita emvura anopfuura makumi matatu. Mafirita emvura atinoongorora pano anosanganisira mafirita emvura emumba yese, mafirita emvura ari pasi pesinki, mapitcheri emvura, mabhodhoro emvura, uye mafirita emvura yekugeza.
Pakupera kwegwaro rino, unogona kudzidza zvakawanda nezvekuti tinoongorora sei mafirita emvura murabhoritari yedu, pamwe nezvose zvaunoda kuziva nezvekutenga firita yemvura yakanakisisa. Unoda kuwedzera mvura yaunonwa paunenge uchifamba here? Tarisa gwaro redu remabhodhoro emvura akanakisa.
Ingovhura pombi wowana mvura yakaseferwa kwemwedzi mitanhatu. Iyi sisitimu yekusefa iri pasi pesinki inobvisa chlorine, simbi dzinorema, ma cysts, mishonga yekuuraya zvipembenene, mishonga yezvipembenene, mishonga inonyungudika yeorganic nezvimwe. Chigadzirwa ichi chinoshandiswawo kumba kwaDr. Birnur Aral, aimbova director weGH Research Institute's Beauty, Health and Sustainability Laboratory.
“Ndinoshandisa mvura yakaseferwa pazvinhu zvese kubva pakubika kusvika kukofi, saka sefa yemvura yecountertop haishande kwandiri,” anodaro. “Izvi zvinoreva kuti hapana chikonzero chekuzadzazve mabhodhoro emvura kana midziyo.” Ine mwero wemvura yakawanda asi inoda kuiswa.
Imwe yemafirita edu emvura epamusoro, sefa yeBrita Longlast+ inobvisa zvinhu zvinosvibisa zvinopfuura makumi matatu zvakaita sechlorine, simbi dzinorema, carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, nezvimwewo. Tinokoshesa kusefa kwayo nekukurumidza, kunotora masekondi makumi matatu nemasere chete pakapu imwe neimwe. Kana tichienzanisa neyakatangira, inogara kwemwedzi mitanhatu panzvimbo pemiviri uye haisiye madonhwe matema ecarbon mumvura.
Rachel Rothman, aimbova mukuru wezve tekinoroji uye mukuru wezvehunyanzvi weGH Research Institute, anoshandisa chirongo ichi mumhuri yake ine vanhu vashanu. Anofarira kunaka kwemvura uye chokwadi chekuti haafanire kuchinja firita kakawanda. Dambudziko diki nderekuti kugeza maoko kunodiwa.
Zvisingazivikanwi se "shower head yeInternet," Jolie pasina mubvunzo ave mumwe wevanhu vanonyanya kufarirwa pakugeza pasi rose, kunyanya nekuda kwekugadzirwa kwayo kwakanaka. Kuedza kwedu kwakawanda kumba kwakaratidza kuti inotevedzera mukurumbira. Kusiyana nemamwe mafirita eshawa ataedza, Jolie Filter Showerhead ine dhizaini imwe chete inoda kushanda nesimba kuti iiswe. Jacqueline Saguin, aimbova mupepeti mukuru webhizinesi kuGH, akati zvakamutorera maminetsi angangoita gumi nemashanu kuti iiswe.
Takaona kuti ine kugona kwakanaka kwekusefa chlorine. Mafirita ayo ane musanganiswa weKDF-55 necalcium sulfate, izvo zvinonzi nekambani iyi zviri nani pane mafirita ecarbon akajairika ekubata tsvina mumvura inopisa ine simba guru. Mushure menguva inosvika gore rekushandisa, Sachin akaona "kuungana kushoma pedyo nedhireni rebhavhu," achiwedzera kuti "mvura inonyorova pasina kurasikirwa nekumanikidzwa."
Ziva kuti musoro weshawa pachawo unodhura, pamwe chete nemutengo wekutsiva sefa.
Chirongo ichi chidiki asi chine simba chegirazi chinorema mapaundi matanhatu chete kana chazara. Chakareruka uye chiri nyore kubata nekudurura muzviedzo zvedu. Chinowanikwawo mupurasitiki, izvo zvinovandudza kunaka uye kujeka kwemvura. Ziva kuti uchafanira kuchizadza kakawanda sezvo chinongokwana makapu maviri nehafu emvura yepombi uye takaona kuti chinosefa zvishoma nezvishoma.
Pamusoro pezvo, pitcher iyi inoshandisa mhando mbiri dzemafirita: micro membrane filter uye activated carbon filter ine ion exchanger. Ongororo yedu yedata rekuongorora remuchina wechitatu inosimbisa kuti inobvisa zvinhu zvinodarika makumi matatu, zvinosanganisira chlorine, microplastics, sediment, heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, E. coli, uye cysts.
Brita ikambani inogara ichiita zvakanaka muongororo dzedu dzemurabhoritari. Mumwe muongorori akati vanoda bhodhoro iri rekufamba nekuti vanogona kurizadza chero kupi uye vanoziva kuti mvura yavo inonaka. Bhodhoro iri rinouya nesimbi isina ngura kana kuti purasitiki—vaongorori vakaona kuti bhodhoro resimbi isina ngura rine madziro maviri rinochengeta mvura ichitonhorera uye yakachena zuva rese.
Inowanikwawo muhukuru hwemaunzi makumi maviri nematanhatu (inokodzera nzvimbo zhinji dzekushandisa makapu) kana hukuru hwemaunzi makumi matatu nematanhatu (izvo zvinobatsira kana uchifamba daro refu kana kuti usingakwanise kuzadza mvura nguva dzose). Chinotenderera chakavakirwa mukati chinoitawo kuti zvive nyore kutakura. Vamwe vashandisi vakaona kuti dhizaini yehuswa inoita kuti kunwa kuve kwakaoma.
Brita Hub yakahwina mubairo weGH Kitchenware Award mushure mekufadza vatongi vedu nemuchina wayo wekuchenesa mvura wecountertop unoburitsa mvura nemaoko kana otomatiki. Mugadziri anoti firita inogona kutsiviwa mushure memwedzi mitanhatu. Zvisinei, Nicole Papantoniou, director weKitchen Appliances and Innovation Laboratory kuGH Research Institute, anongoda kutsiva firita iyi mwedzi minomwe yega yega.
“Ine simba guru saka hauzofaniri kuizadza kakawanda. [Ini] ndinoda kudira otomatiki nekuti ndinogona kusiya izere,” akadaro Papantoniou. Ndezvipi zvisizvo zvinoonekwa nenyanzvi dzedu? Kana chiratidzo chitsvuku chekutsiva chinhu chefirita changotanga kupenya, chinomira kushanda. Ingova nechokwadi chekuti une mamwe mafirita aripo.
Tangi remvura reLarq PurVis rinogona kusefa zvinhu zvinosvibisa zvinopfuura makumi mana nezvishanu zvakaita se microplastics, heavy metals, VOCs, endocrine disruptors, PFOA nePFOS, pharmaceuticals nezvimwe. Kambani iyi inoitawo chimwe chinhu chinopfuura nekushandisa chiedza cheUV kudzivirira mabhakitiriya eE. coli nesalmonella anogona kuungana mumapitcher emvura paanenge achisefa chlorine.
Mukuyedza, takafarira kuti Larq app iri nyore kushandisa uye kuti inochengeta nguva yaunoda kuchinja mafirita, saka hapana kufungidzira kunobatanidzwa. Inodurura zvakanaka, haidururi, uye haikuvadzi mudhishi rekugezesa ndiro, kunze kwetsvimbo diki inochajwa yatakaona iri nyore kugeza nemaoko. Ndapota cherechedzai: mafirita anogona kudhura kupfuura mamwe mafirita.
Kana basa rapera, unogona kuratidza chirongo ichi chemvura chinosefa padhesiki rako nerunako rwacho rwemazuva ano. Hachingoshamisi chete nekugadzirwa kwacho kwakasiyana, asi nyanzvi dzedu dzinodawo kuti chimiro chegirazi remaawa chinoita kuti zvive nyore kubata.
Inosefa chlorine nesimbi ina dzinorema, dzinosanganisira cadmium, copper, mercury ne zinc, kuburikidza nesefa yekoni yakagadzirwa zvakanaka pamusoro pecarafe. Nyanzvi dzedu dzakaona kuti iri nyore kuisa, kuzadza nekudurura, asi inoda kugezwa nemaoko.
“Zviri nyore kuisa, hazvidhuri uye zvakaedzwa zvinoenderana nezvinodiwa neANSI 42 ne53, saka zvinosefa zvinhu zvakasiyana-siyana zvinosvibisa,” akadaro Dan DiClerico, director weGH's Home Improvement and Outdoor Lab. Akanyanya kufarira dhizaini yacho uye mhando yeCulligan yakagamuchirwa.
Sefa iyi inokutendera kuti uchinje zviri nyore kubva mumvura isina kusefa kuenda kumvura yakasefa nekungodhonza vharuvhu yekubvisa mvura, uye hapana maturusi anodiwa kuti uise sefa iyi papombi yako. Inosefa chlorine, sediment, lead nezvimwe. Chimwe chakaipa ndechekuti inoita kuti pombi iwedzere kukura.
KuGood Housekeeping Institute, timu yedu yemainjiniya, makhemisi, vanoongorora zvigadzirwa nenyanzvi dzekuvandudza dzimba vanoshanda pamwe chete kuti vaone sefa yemvura yakanakira imba yako. Mumakore apfuura, takaedza mafirita emvura anopfuura makumi matatu uye tinoramba tichitsvaga dzimwe nzira itsva dziri pamusika.
Kuti tiedze mafirita emvura, tinofunga nezvehukuru hwawo, kuti ari nyore sei kuisa, uye (kana zvichibvira) kuti ari nyore sei kuzadza. Kuti zvive pachena, tinoverengawo bhuku rega rega remirayiridzo uye totarisa kana modhi yepitcher yakachengeteka mudhishi rekugezesa ndiro. Tinoedza mashandiro akaita sekuti girazi remafirita emvura rinokurumidza sei uye tinoyera kuti tangi remvura yepombi rinogona kutakura mvura yakawanda sei.
Tinoongororawo zvichemo zvekubvisa mavara zvichibva padata revamwe vanhu. Patinotsiva mafirita pachirongwa chinokurudzirwa nemugadziri, tinoongorora hupenyu hwefirita yega yega uye mutengo wekutsiva mafirita gore rega rega.
✔️ Rudzi uye Kugona: Pakusarudza mapitcheri, mabhodhoro nezvimwe zvinotakura mvura yakaseferwa, unofanira kufunga nezvehukuru nehuremu. Matangi makuru akanaka pakuderedza kuzarazve, asi anowanzo kurema uye anogona kutora nzvimbo yakawanda mufiriji yako kana bhegi remusana. Muenzaniso wecountertop unochengetedza nzvimbo yefiriji uye unogona kazhinji kutakura mvura yakawanda, asi unoda nzvimbo yecounter uye unoshandisa mvura yekupisa kwemukamuri.
Nemafirita emvura ari pasi pesinki, mafirita epombi, mafirita eshawa uye mafirita emumba yese, hapana chikonzero chekunetseka nezvehukuru kana huwandu hwemvura nekuti anosefa mvura nekukurumidza kana yangoyerera.
✔️Rudzi rwekusefa: Zvinofanira kucherechedzwa kuti mafirita mazhinji ane mhando dzakasiyana dzekusefa kuti abvise tsvina dzakasiyana. Mamwe mamodheru anogona kusiyana zvakanyanya mutsvina yaanobvisa, saka zvakanaka kutarisa kuti modheru yacho inosefa chii kuti ive nechokwadi chekuti inokodzera zvaunoda. Nzira yakavimbika yekuziva izvi ndeyekutarisa kuti firita iyi ine chitupa cheNSF chipi. Semuenzaniso, mamwe mafirita anovhara lead chete, senge NSF 372, nepo mamwe achivharawo chepfu dzekurima nedzemaindasitiri, senge NSF 401. Pamusoro pezvo, heano maitiro akasiyana ekusefa mvura:
✔️ Kuwanda Kwekutsiva Sefa: Tarisa kuti unofanira kuchinja sefa kangani. Kana uchitya kuchinja sefa kana kuti wakanganwa kuitsiva, ungangoda kutsvaga sefa inogara kwenguva refu. Pamusoro pezvo, kana ukatenga mafirita eshawa, pitcher, nesinki, unofanira kuyeuka kuatsiva ega ega, saka zvingave zvakanaka kufunga nezvekushandisa sefa yeimba yese sezvo uchingoda kutsiva sefa imwe chete yemba yako.
Hazvina basa kuti firita yemvura yaunosarudza, haibatsiri kana ukasaitsiva sezvakakurudzirwa. "Kushanda kwefirita yemvura kunoenderana nemhando yemvura iri patsime uye kuti unochinja sei firita," anodaro Aral. Mamwe mamodheru ane chiratidzo, asi kana modheru isina chiratidzo, kuyerera zvishoma nezvishoma kana ruvara rwakasiyana rwemvura chiratidzo chekuti firita inofanira kutsiviwa.
✔️ Mutengo: Funga nezvemutengo wekutanga wesefa yemvura uye mutengo wekuizadzazve. Sefa yemvura inogona kudhura zvakanyanya pakutanga, asi mutengo uye kuwanda kwekuitsiva kunogona kukubatsira kuchengetedza mari kwenguva refu. Asi izvi hazviwanzoitika, saka iva nechokwadi chekuverenga mari yekutsiva yegore negore zvichibva pane zvinokurudzirwa pakutsiva.
Kuwanikwa kwemvura yakachena yekunwa idambudziko repasi rose rinobata nharaunda muUnited States yese. Kana usina chokwadi nezvemhando yemvura yako, Environmental Working Group (EWG) yakagadzirisa dhatabhesi rayo remvura yepombi gore ra2021. Dhatabhesi iyi haina muripo, iri nyore kutsvaga, uye ine ruzivo rwematunhu ese.
Isa zip code yako kana kutsvaga mudunhu rako kuti uwane ruzivo rwakadzama nezvehunhu hwemvura yako yekunwa zvichienderana nezvinodiwa neEWG, izvo zvakaoma kupfuura zvinodiwa nenyika. Kana mvura yako yepombi ikadarika mitemo yehutano yeEWG, ungangoda kufunga nezvekutenga sefa yemvura.
Kusarudza mvura iri mumabhodhoro inzira pfupi yekugadzirisa mvura yekunwa inogona kunge isina kuchengetedzeka, asi zvinogadzira dambudziko guru rine migumisiro yakakomba yenguva refu yekusvibiswa. Vanhu vekuAmerica vanorasa matani anosvika mamiriyoni makumi matatu epurasitiki gore rega rega, ayo 8% chete ndiyo inodzokororwa. Yakawanda yacho inozopedzisira yava mumarara nekuti kune mitemo yakawanda yakasiyana-siyana pamusoro pezvinogona kudzokororwa. Chinhu chakanakisisa chaunofanira kuita ndechekuisa mari mufiriji yemvura nebhodhoro remvura rakanaka, rinogona kushandiswazve - mamwe acho ane mafiriji akavakirwa mukati.
Chinyorwa ichi chakanyorwa uye chakaedzwa naJamie (Kim) Ueda, nyanzvi yekuongorora zvigadzirwa zvekusefa mvura (uye mushandisi wenguva dzose!). Iye munyori akazvimirira ane hunyanzvi mukuyedza zvigadzirwa uye ongororo. Parondedzero iyi, akaedza mafirita emvura akati wandei uye akashanda nenyanzvi kubva mumarabhoritari akati wandei eGood Housekeeping Institute: Kitchen Appliances & Innovation, Runako, Hutano & Kugara kwenguva refu, Kunze, Zvishandiso & Tekinoroji;
