No ke aha e koho ai i kahi ipu kānana wai? ʻO ka manaʻo waiwai lanakila ʻole

[Manaʻo Huli: ʻIke Pilikia a me ka Hoʻonā]

ʻO nā ipu kānana wai e noho aliʻi ana ma ka mākeke no ke kumu kūpono. ʻO lākou ka hopena kūpono inā ʻoe:

• E hoʻolimalima i kou home a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokomo i nā mea paʻa mau
• He palena ka wahi a pono i kahi hopena liʻiliʻi
• Makemake ʻoe i kahi wahi komo kūpono no ka wai kānana ($20-$50 ma mua)
• Pono ka lawe ʻana no nā keʻena, nā hale moe, a i ʻole nā ​​​​hale liʻiliʻi

ʻOiai ko lākou maʻalahi, hoʻopau nā pitchers hou i nā mea haumia he nui aʻe ma mua o ka wā ma mua, me kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona e hoʻokūkū nei i nā ʻōnaehana pipiʻi no nā pilikia wai maʻamau.

Pehea e hana maoli ai nā ipu kānana wai: Ua maʻalahi ka ʻepekema

[Manaʻo Huli: ʻIke / Pehea e Hana ai]

Hoʻohana ka hapa nui o nā pitchers i kahi kaʻina hana kānana ʻelua pae:

1. Kānana Mekanika: Hoʻopaʻa kahi pale i ulana ʻole ʻia i ka popo, ka lepo, a me nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe e like me ka liʻiliʻi e like me 1-5 microns.
2. Kānana Kalapona Hoʻāla: ʻO ke kikowaena o ka ʻōnaehana. Kalapona Granular a paʻa paha:
   • Hoʻopili (huki a paʻa) i nā mea haumia e like me ka chlorine, VOC, a me nā pesticides ma luna o kona ʻili nui.
   • Hoʻēmi i nā metala kaumaha e like me ke kēpau, mercury, a me ke keleawe ma o ka hoʻemi catalytic.

Hiki i nā ipu hoʻonui kiʻekiʻe ke hoʻokomo i ka resin ion-exchange e hōʻemi i ka paʻakikī (unahi) a i ʻole nā ​​​​​​mea hana kūikawā ʻē aʻe.

He aha nā mea hiki a hiki ʻole i nā mea hoʻolei ke wehe: Ke kau nei i nā manaʻolana maoli

[Manaʻo Huli: "He aha nā mea a nā kānana ipu wai e wehe ai"]

Manaʻo nui: He maikaʻi loa nā ipu hao no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka ʻono a me ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā mea haumia o ka wai paipa maʻamau, akā, ʻaʻole lākou he hopena hoʻomaʻemaʻe piha no ka wai o ka luawai a i ʻole nā ​​​​waiwai i haumia loa ʻia.

Nā ʻIpu Kānana Wai 3 Kiʻekiʻe loa o 2024

Ma muli o ka hana kānana, ke kumukūʻai no ke galani, ka mana, a me ka wikiwiki.

**Ma muli o ke kānana ʻana i 1 galani i kēlā me kēia lā a me ka awelika o ke ola kānana. Brita (~$20/6 mahina), ZeroWater (~$25/1-2 mahina), PUR (~$20/3 mahina).*

ʻO ke kumukūʻai maoli o ka nona: Nā ipu hao vs. Wai ʻōmole

[Manaʻo Huli: Hoʻāpono / Hoʻohālikelike Waiwai]

ʻO kēia kahi e ʻālohilohi loa ai nā mea hoʻolei.

• Vs. Wai ʻŌmole: ʻO kahi ʻohana e hoʻolilo ana i $20/pule ma ka wai ʻōmole ($1,040/makahiki) e mālama ma mua o $900 i kēlā me kēia makahiki me kahi pitcher ($130 no nā kānana).
• Kumukūʻai no ke kalana: ʻO ka maʻamau he $0.25 – $0.35 no ke kalana ke kumukūʻai ma waena o $1.50 – $9.00 no ke kalana o ka wai ʻōmole.
• Ka Hopena o ke Kaiapuni: Hoʻololi kekahi pahu kānana i kahi 300 mau ʻōmole wai plastik maʻamau.

1. E ʻike i kou pilikia wai: He ʻono paha (chlorine), paʻakikī (unahi), a i ʻole he mea haumia kikoʻī (kēpau)? E nānā i kāu Hōʻike Kūlana Wai kūloko (CCR).
2. E nānā i nā Palapala Hōʻoia NSF: Mai hilinaʻi wale i nā koi kūʻai aku. E nānā i nā helu hōʻoia NSF/ANSI kūhelu ma ka pahu (e laʻa, NSF 53 no ka hōʻemi ʻana i ke kēpau).
3. E Noʻonoʻo i ka Mana a me ka Māmā: Makemake kahi ʻohana nui i kahi ipu hao kiʻekiʻe me ka wikiwiki o ka hoʻopiha ʻana. Hiki i ke kanaka hoʻokahi ke hoʻoikaika i kahi hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi.
4. E helu i ke kumukūʻai lōʻihi: ʻO kahi ipu hao makepono me nā kānana pipiʻi a pōkole ke ola e ʻoi aku ke kumukūʻai i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa. E hana i ka makemakika ma ke kumukūʻai no kēlā me kēia galani.
5. E nānā i nā hiʻohiʻona maʻalahi: Hoʻomaikaʻi nā ʻōkuhi kānana uila, nā lima ergonomic, a me nā poʻi hoʻopiha maʻalahi i ka ʻike o kēlā me kēia lā.

Ka Hoʻonui ʻana i ka Hana a me ke Ola o kāu Pitcher

[Manaʻo Huli: "Pehea e hoʻohana ai i ka ipu kānana wai"]

• E hoʻomākaukau i kahi kānana hou: E hoʻomohu a holoi mau i kahi kānana hou no 15 mau minuke e like me nā kuhikuhi. Pale kēia i ka lepo kalapona i kāu mau ʻāpana mua.
• E Hoʻomaʻalili a Piha: E mālama i kāu ipu hao i loko o ka pahu hau. E hoʻopiha i ka wai i kānana mau ʻia a hoʻomaʻalili ʻia.
• Mai Kali i ke Kukui: Inā ʻaʻohe hōʻailona o kāu kiola, e hoʻonohonoho i kahi hoʻomanaʻo kalena no 2 mau mahina ma ke ʻano he paʻamau. E emi ana ka pono o ke kānana i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa.
• E hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine: E holoi i ka waihona ipu a me ke poʻi me ke kopa akahai a me ka wai i kēlā me kēia pule e pale aku ai i ka ulu ʻana o ka bacteria.

Q: No ke aha e heluhelu nei kaʻu ipu ZeroWater i kahi TDS o 006? ʻAʻole anei ia he zero?
A: He maikaʻi loa ka heluhelu ʻana o 006 a hōʻike ia ua kokoke kāu kānana i ka hopena o kona ola. He kūpono ʻo "Zero", akā ʻo nā mea ma lalo o 010 ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe maikaʻi ʻia no ka inu ʻana.

Q: Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻohana i kahi kānana generic/"off-brand" i loko o kaʻu pitcher Brita a i ʻole PUR?
ʻAe, akā e makaʻala. ʻOiai ke kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa, ʻaʻole paha lākou i nā palapala hōʻoia NSF like a hiki ke kūpono maikaʻi ʻole, e hoʻoulu ai i nā leaka a i ʻole ka hana i emi iho.

Nīnau: Palekana anei ka wai mai kaʻu ipu hao no kaʻu mau holoholona (iʻa, nā mea kolo)?
A: No nā mammals (pōpoki, ʻīlio), ʻae. No nā iʻa a me nā mea kolo, ʻaʻole paha. Hoʻopau pinepine ka kānana i ka chlorine, he mea maikaʻi ia, akā ʻaʻole paha e wehe i ka chlorʻAmina, he mea ʻawahia i ka iʻa. ʻAʻole hoʻi ia e hoʻoponopono i ka pH a i ʻole ka paʻakikī, he mea koʻikoʻi ia no nā holoholona wai.

Q: ʻOno ka ʻono o kaʻu wai kānana. He mea maʻamau anei kēlā?
A: He ʻike maʻamau kēia me kekahi mau kānana kalapona a ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻino. Hiki ke hana ʻia ma muli o ka emi iki ʻana o ka waikawa a i ʻole ka wehe ʻana i nā mea ʻawaʻawa.

ʻO ka ʻŌlelo Hoʻoholo Hope Loa

No ka hapa nui o ka poʻe noho wai kūlanakauhale e ʻimi nei e hoʻomaikaʻi i ka ʻono a hōʻemi i nā mea haumia maʻamau, hāʻawi kahi Brita me kahi kānana Longlast i ke kaulike maikaʻi loa o ke kumukūʻai, ka hana, a me ka maʻalahi.

No ka poʻe me nā hopohopo nui e pili ana i nā metala kaumaha a i ʻole ka poʻe makemake i ka wai ʻono loa a ʻaʻole hopohopo i ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe, ʻo ZeroWater ka poʻokela kūʻokoʻa.
