Ndanga ndichiyedza mafirita emvura eWirecutter kubvira muna 2016. Mumushumo wangu, ndakaita hurukuro yakadzama nesangano rekupa zvitupa zvemafirita kuti ndinzwisise kuti bvunzo dzavo dzakaitwa sei, uye ndakaongorora database yavo yeruzhinji kuti ndisimbise kuti chirevo chemugadziri chaive chakatsigirwa pakuongororwa kwezvitupa. Ndakataurawo nevamiriri vevagadziri vemafirita emvura akati wandei, kusanganisira Aquasana/AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita, naPur, kuti ndivabvunze zvavakataura. Uye ini pachangu ndakasangana nesarudzo dzedu dzese, nekuti kugara zvakanaka, kugara kwenguva refu uye kushandiswa zviri nyore kwakakosha kumidziyo yaunoshandisa kakawanda pazuva. Aimbove musayendisiti weNOAA John Holecek akatsvaga nekunyora gwara rekutanga reWirecutter water filter, akaita bvunzo dzake, akaraira mimwe miedzo yakazvimirira, uye akandidzidzisa zvakawanda zvandinoziva. Basa rangu rakavakirwa pahwaro hwake.
Zvinosuwisa kuti hapana mhinduro yakafanana yekuti mvura inosefa inodiwa here. MuUnited States, mvura yeruzhinji inodzorwa neEPA zvichienderana neClean Water Act, uye mvura inobva muzviteshi zvekurapa mvura yeruzhinji inofanira kuzadzisa mitemo yakasimba yemhando yepamusoro. Asi hazvisi zvese zvinosvibisa zvinogona kudzorwa. Saizvozvowo, zvinosvibisa zvinogona kupinda mumvura mushure mekubuda muzviteshi zvekurapa nekupinda kana kubuda mumapaipi anodonhedza mvura (PDF). Kucheneswa kwemvura kunoitwa (kana kuregeredzwa) mufekitori kunogona kuwedzera kucheneswa kwemvura mumapaipi ari pasi pemvura—sezvakaitika muFlint, Michigan.
Kuti unzwisise zvakarurama zvinhu zviri mumvura kana mutengesi abva mufekitori, unogona kuwana mushumo wekuvimba kwevatengi weEPA yemutengesi wemuno paInternet; kana zvisina kudaro, vese vanopa mvura yeruzhinji vanofanira kukupa CCR yavo zvichienderana nezvaunoda. Zvisinei, nekuda kwekusvibiswa kunogona kuitika, nzira chete yekuziva kuti mvura yako yakaumbwa sei ndeyekukumbira rabhoritari yemhando yemvura yemuno kuti iongororwe.
Zvichibva pane zvakaitika: kana imba yako kana nharaunda yako yakura, njodzi yekusvibiswa kwemvura inowedzera. US Environmental Protection Agency yakati "dzimba dzakavakwa pamberi pa1986 dzine mukana wekushandisa mapaipi emutobvu, zvigadziko, uye solder" - zvinhu zvekare zvaimboshandiswa zvisingaenderane nezvinodiwa pari zvino. Kukwegura kunowedzerawo mukana wekusvibiswa kwemvura yepasi pevhu kwakasiyiwa neindasitiri yekare yekutonga, izvo zvinogona kuva njodzi, kunyanya kana zvikabatanidzwa nekuora kunokonzerwa nekukwegura kwemapaipi epasi pevhu.
Kana mhuri yako ikanwa mvura inodarika marita maviri kusvika matatu pazuva, sefa iri pasi pesinki inogona kunge iri nani pane sefa iri pasi pesinki. Sisitimu iri pasi pesinki inopa mvura yekunwa yakaseferwa kana yadikanwa, pasina kumirira kupera kwekuseferwa, kungofanana netangi remvura. Kuseferwa kwemvura "pakudiwa" zvinorevawo kuti sisitimu iri pasi pesinki inogona kupa mvura yakakwana yekubika - semuenzaniso, unogona kuzadza poto nemvura yakaseferwa kuti ubike pasta, asi hauzombofi wakazadza poto kakawanda nekuda kweizvi.
Zvichienzaniswa nemafirita esinki, mafirita epasi pesinki anowanzova nekukwanisa kukuru uye hupenyu hwakareba hwekushanda - kazhinji mazana emagaroni nemwedzi mitanhatu kana kupfuura, nepo mafirita mazhinji esinki ari magaroni makumi mana nemwedzi miviri. Nekuti mafirita epasi pesinki anoshandisa kumanikidzwa kwemvura panzvimbo pegiravhiti kuti asundire mvura nepafirita, mafirita avo anogona kuva akaomarara, saka anogona kubvisa mhando dzakasiyana dzezvinhu zvinogona kusvibisa.
Dambudziko nderekuti anodhura kupfuura mafirita epitcher, uye kukosha kwakakwana uye avhareji yenguva yekutsiva mafirita zvinodhurawo. Sisitimu iyi inotorawo nzvimbo mu sink cabinet iyo yaigona kushandiswa kuchengetera zvinhu.
Kuisa sefa pasi pesinki kunoda kuiswa kwemapombi nemidziyo, asi basa iri riri nyore chete kana sinki yako yatova negomba repombi rakasiyana. Kana zvisina kudaro, unofanira kubvisa pombi yakavakirwa mukati (unogona kuona dhisiki rakasimudzwa pasinki yesimbi, kana chiratidzo pasinki yematombo yakagadzirwa). Kana gomba rekurova rikashaikwa, unofanira kuboora gomba pasinki. Kana sinki yako yakaiswa pasi, unofanirawo kuboora gomba pakaunda. Kana parizvino uine sipo dispenser, mukana wemhepo mudhishi rekushambidza ndiro, kana sprayer inobata nemaoko pasinki, unogona kuibvisa woiisa ipapo.
Mushure mekuedza, takatsiva firita rePur Pitcher raive risipo nefirita reFaster Pour Pitcher.
Gwaro iri rinotaura nezvemhando chaiyo yefirita iri pasi pesinki: iyo inoshandisa firita yekaturiji uye inotumira mvura yakaseferwa kupombi yakasiyana. Aya ndiwo mafirita ari pasi pesinki anozivikanwa zvikuru. Anotora nzvimbo shoma uye anowanzo kuve nyore kuisa nekugadzirisa. Anoshandisa zvinhu zvinosanganisa adsorbent—kazhinji activated carbon uye ion exchange resins, senge mafirita etangi remvura—kubatanidza nekubvisa tsvina. Hatisi kutaura nezvemafirita, reverse osmosis systems, kana mamwe mapitcher kana dispenser akaiswa pamapombi.
Kuti tive nechokwadi chekuti tinokurudzira mafirita akavimbika chete, tagara tichisimbisa kuti sarudzo yedu yapasa chitupa cheindasitiri: ANSI/NSF. American National Standards Institute neNSF International masangano akazvimirira asingatsvage purofiti anoshanda neEPA, vamiriri veindasitiri, nedzimwe nyanzvi kuti vagadzire mitemo yakasimba yemhando uye maitiro ekuyedza zviuru zvezvigadzirwa, kusanganisira mafirita emvura. Marabhoritari maviri makuru ekusimbisa mvura ndeeNSF International pachayo neWater Quality Association (WQA). Ose ari maviri ane mvumo yakazara neANSI neCanadian Standards Council muNorth America, anogona kuongororwa chitupa cheANSI/NSF, uye ese ari maviri anofanira kutevedzera mitemo nemipimo yekuyedza yakafanana. Firita inogona kungosangana nemitemo yekusimbisa mushure mekunge yapfuura nguva yayo yakatarwa. Shandisa sampuro "dzinonetsa" dzakagadzirwa, dzakasvibiswa zvakanyanya kupfuura mvura zhinji yepombi.
Mugwaro rino, tinotarisa pamafirita ane chlorine, lead, uye VOC (inozivikanwawo sevolatious organic compound).
Chitupa chechlorine (pasi peANSI/Standard 42) chakakosha nekuti chlorine ndiyo inowanzo kukonzera mvura yemupombi "isina kunaka". Asi ichi chinenge chitsotsi: marudzi ese emafirita emvura akapasa chitupa chacho.
Chitupa cheLead chakaoma kuwana nekuti zvinoreva kuderedza mhinduro dzine lead yakawanda neinopfuura 99%.
Kupihwa chitupa cheVOC kwakaomawo nekuti zvinoreva kuti firita iyi inogona kubvisa zvinhu zvinopfuura makumi mashanu zve organic, kusanganisira mishonga yakawanda inouraya utachiona uye mishonga inogadzira zvinhu mumaindasitiri. Haasi ese mafirita ari pasi pemvura ane zvitupa izvi zviviri, saka nekutarisa pamafirita ane zvitupa zviviri, tawana ayo ane mashandiro akanaka kwazvo.
Takaderedza kutsvaga kwedu ndokusarudza mafirita aive akasimbiswa zvakare pasi peANSI/NSF Standard 401 itsva, iyo inovhara zvinhu zvinosvibisa zviri kubuda, zvakaita semishonga, zviri kuwanikwa mumvura dzeAmerica. Saizvozvowo, haasi mafirita ese ane chitupa che401, saka mafirita ane chitupa ichi (uye lead neVOC certification) iboka rinosarudza zvakanyanya.
Muchikamu ichi chakasimba, tinobva tatsvaga avo vane simba risingasviki magaroni mazana mashanu. Izvi zvakaenzana nehupenyu hwefirita hwemwedzi mitanhatu kana uchishandiswa zvakanyanya (magaroni maviri nehafu pazuva). Kune mhuri zhinji, izvi zvakakwana kuti zvigutse zvinodiwa pakunwa nekubika zuva nezuva. (Mugadziri anopa purogiramu inokurudzirwa yekutsiva firita, kazhinji mumwedzi kwete magaroni; tinotevedzera mazano aya mukuongorora kwedu uye kuverenga mitengo. Tinokurudzira kushandisa nguva dzose firita yekutanga yemugadziri panzvimbo pefirita yechitatu.)
Pakupedzisira, takayera mutengo wekutanga wesystem yese uye mutengo unoramba uchishandiswa wekutsiva firita. Hatina kuisa muganho wemutengo wakaderera kana wepamusoro, asi tsvakiridzo yedu inoratidza kuti kunyangwe mutengo wekutanga uri pakati peUS$100 kusvika US$1,250, uye mutengo wefirita uri pakati peUS$60 kusvika kuUS$300, misiyano iyi haina kunyanya kunaka. Modhi inodhura zvakanyanya muzvirevo. Takawana mhando dzakasiyana dzemafirita ari pasi pesinki anodhura zvakanaka pasi peUS$200, ukuwo achipa chitupa chakanaka uye hupenyu hurefu. Ava ndivo vakava vekupedzisira kwedu. Pamusoro pezvo, tiri kutsvagawo:
Munguva yekutsvagurudza, dzimwe nguva taisangana nemishumo yekudonha kwemvura kubva kumuridzi wefirita yemvura iri pasi pesinki. Sezvo firita iyi yakabatana nepaipi inopinza mvura inotonhora kuburikidza nepaipi, kana chinongedzo kana hose yakaputsika, mvura inobuda kusvika vharuvhu yekudzima yavharwa - zvinoreva kuti zvinogona kutora maawa kana mazuva kuti uwane dambudziko, izvo zvichakupa mhedzisiro yakakomba. Kukuvadzwa kwemvura. Izvi hazviwanzoitika, asi unofanirwa kuyera njodzi paunenge uchifunga kutenga firita iri pasi pesinki. Kana ukaitenga, ndapota tevera mirairo yekuiisa nokungwarira, uchichenjerera kuti usayambuke tambo dzekubatanidza, wobva wavhura mvura zvishoma nezvishoma kuti utarise kana ichidonha.
Sefa re reverse osmosis kana kuti R/O pakutanga yaishandisa rudzi rumwe chete rwesefa re cartridge sezvatakasarudza pano, asi yakawedzera nzira yechipiri yekusefa reverse osmosis: membrane ine maburi matete inobvumira mvura kupfuura nepakati asi ichisefa zvicherwa zvakanyungudutswa. Zvinhu nezvimwe zvinhu.
Tinogona kutaura zvakadzama nezvemafirita eR/O mumagwaro anotevera. Pano, takaaramba zvachose. Kana tichienzanisa nemafirita eadsorption, anopa mabhenefiti mashoma ekushanda; anogadzira mvura yakawanda yakasviba (kazhinji marita mana emvura inoraswa "yekusuka" pagaroni rimwe chete rekusefa), nepo mafirita eadsorption asingatore nzvimbo. Yakakura zvikuru nekuti, kusiyana nemafirita eadsorption, anoshandisa matangi egaroni rimwe kana maviri egaroni kuchengeta mvura yakasefa; anononoka kupfuura mafirita eadsorption ari pasi pesinki.
Mumakore mashoma apfuura, takaita bvunzo dzemurabhoritari pamafirita emvura. Mhedziso huru yatakawana kubva muongororo idzi ndeyekuti chitupa cheANSI/NSF inzira yakavimbika yekuyera mashandiro efirita.
