ʻO ka wai i hoʻolako ʻia e ke kūlanakauhale a i ʻole ka wai i hoʻolako ʻia e ke kūlanakauhale, ua manaʻo ʻia he palekana ke inu, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia ka hihia mau no ka mea he nui nā manawa kūpono ma nā paipu lōʻihi mai ka hale hana hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai a i kou hale no ka haumia; a ʻo nā wai āpau o ke kūlanakauhale, ʻaʻole maʻemaʻe, ʻono, a ʻono paha e like me ka mea hiki. ʻO ia ke kumu e pono ai nā kānana wai, hoʻomaikaʻi lākou i ka maikaʻi o ka wai inu i loko o kou home. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ke kūʻai wale ʻana i ka kānana wai mua hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole ke koho makepono loa e alakaʻi iā ʻoe ʻaʻole e loaʻa ka kānana wai kūpono loa i kou home a me nā pono. Ma mua o kou kūʻai ʻana i kahi kānana, pono ʻoe e ʻike i nā pane i kēia mau nīnau:

ʻEhia ka nui o ka wai kānana āu e makemake ai e komo?
ʻO wai nā lumi o kou hale e pono ai ka wai i kānana ʻia?
He aha kāu e makemake ai e kānana ʻia mai loko mai o kou wai?

Ke ʻike ʻoe i nā pane i kēia mau nīnau, ua mākaukau ʻoe e hoʻomaka i kāu ʻimi no ka kānana wai kūpono. E hoʻomau i ka heluhelu ʻana no ke alakaʻi i ke koho ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana kānana wai maikaʻi loa no kou home.

Pono ʻoe i kahi ʻōnaehana kānana wai i hoʻonohonoho mau ʻia?

Malia paha ke kānana nei ʻoe i ka wai ma kou home me ke kōkua o kahi ipu kānana, no laila ʻaʻole pono ke kau ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana kānana piha. Eia nō naʻe, pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ka hiki o kāu ipu a hoʻohālikelike i kēlā me ka nui o ka wai āu e pono ai i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻAʻole lawa ka ipu hoʻokahi lita no kahi ʻohana makua ʻelua, ʻaʻole hoʻi no kahi ʻohana piha. Hiki i kahi ʻōnaehana kānana wai ke hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka maʻalahi o ke komo ʻana i ka wai kānana hou aku, no laila ʻaʻole wale ʻoe e hiki ke inu i ka wai kānana hou aku me ka hopohopo ʻole e pili ana i ka hoʻopiha hou ʻana i ka ipu, akā hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i ka wai kānana i kāu kuke ʻana, kahi e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka ʻono.

Ma waho aʻe o nā pono o ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ke komo ʻana i ka wai kānana, ʻo ke kau ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana kānana piha e mālama pū iā ʻoe i ke kālā i ka wā lōʻihi. ʻOiai he haʻahaʻa loa ke kumukūʻai mua o nā ipu, ʻaʻole lākou e mau e like me ka ʻōnaehana piha, no laila pono ʻoe e kūʻai i nā mea he nui i nā makahiki. Pono ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ke kumukūʻai o nā kāmela a me kā lākou uku hoʻololi no ka mea pono e hoʻololi pinepine ʻia nā kāmela no nā ipu ma mua o nā kāmela ʻōnaehana. Me he mea lā he kumukūʻai liʻiliʻi kēia i kēia manawa, akā e hoʻohui ʻia ia i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa.

ʻO kekahi kumu e pono ai paha ʻoe i kahi ʻōnaehana kānana wai i loko o kou home, ʻo ia ka hiki iā ʻoe ke kānana i ka wai āu e inu ʻole ai, e like me ka wai mai kāu mau piula wai a me nā lole holoi. Ua ʻike mua ʻoe he ʻono maikaʻi ka wai i kānana ʻia no ka mea hoʻopau ka kānana ʻana i nā kemika i hoʻohui ʻia e ke kaʻina hana mālama wai, akā hiki i kēlā mau kemika ke hōʻino i kou ʻili a me kou lole. Hoʻohana ʻia ka Chlorine i ke kaʻina hana mālama e pepehi i nā bacteria ʻino, wehe ʻia ka hapa nui o ia mea ma mua o ka hiki ʻana o ka wai i kou home, akā hiki i nā koena i koe ke hoʻomaloʻo i kou ʻili a hoʻomālamalama i nā lole ʻeleʻele mua.

He aha ke ʻano o ka kānana wai āu e pono ai?

ʻO ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana kānana wai āu e pono ai, pili ia i ke kumu wai āu e loaʻa ai a me nā lumi o kou home āu e makemake ai e hoʻokomo i ka wai kānana. ʻO ke ala maʻalahi loa e ʻike ai i ka huahana kūpono iā ʻoe, ʻo ia ka hoʻohana ʻana i kā mākou mea koho huahana, akā inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i nā ʻōnaehana like ʻole, eia kahi wehewehe pōkole o nā noi maʻamau:

• Nā ʻōnaehana poho lalo: E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, noho kēia mau ʻōnaehana ma lalo o kou poho poho a kānana i ka wai e hele mai ana ma o kāu mau piula wai, e wehe pono ana i nā kemika a me nā lepo.

• Nā ʻōnaehana hale holoʻokoʻa: Eia hou, aia ka noi ma ka inoa! Hoʻokomo pinepine ʻia kēia mau ʻōnaehana ma waho o kou home a e wehe i nā kemika a me nā lepo mai ka wai e puka mai ana mai kāu mau piula wai a pau, me nā mea i loko o ka lumi holoi a me ka lua.

• Kumu wai: E loli ke ʻano o ka ʻōnaehana āu e loaʻa ai ma muli o kahi i loaʻa ai kou wai, ʻo kēia no ka mea he ʻokoʻa nā mea haumia i loko o ka wai nui a me ka wai ua. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike i ke kumu wai āu, eia kahi alakaʻi kōkua no ke ʻano e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻike.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa hou aku ka ʻike e pili ana i nā ʻano kānana like ʻole ma kā mākou pūnaewele ma ka nānā ʻana i kā mākou huahana piha, a i ʻole e nānā i kā mākou mau ʻaoʻao ma nā ʻōnaehana lalo o ka lua wai, nā ʻōnaehana lalo o ka lua wai, nā ʻōnaehana hale holoʻokoʻa, a me nā ʻōnaehana hale holoʻokoʻa wai ua. ʻO kekahi ala maʻalahi e aʻo hou aku ai, ʻo ia ke hoʻokaʻaʻike mai iā mākou!
