Kūʻai mākou i nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai me ka noʻonoʻo hoʻokahi ʻōlelo hoʻohiki nui: e ʻono maikaʻi nā mea. Hōʻike ka mea kūʻai aku i kahi kiʻi ʻoi a maʻemaʻe—ʻaʻohe chlorine hou, ʻaʻohe ʻano metala, he hydration maʻemaʻe wale nō. Ke noʻonoʻo nei mākou i kā mākou kofe kakahiaka e pua ana me nā ʻono hou, ʻoi aku ka ʻono o kā mākou kī lāʻau i ka lau, a lilo kā mākou aniani wai maʻalahi i mea hōʻoluʻolu.

No laila, no ke aha i ʻono ʻole ai kāu kofe i kēia manawa? No ke aha i nele ai ke ʻano ola o kāu kī ʻōmaʻomaʻo pipiʻi? No ke aha i like ai kāu kumu sopa me kekahi ʻano ... ua mālie?

ʻAʻole paha kāu mau pī, kāu mau lau, a i ʻole kāu wai ʻūlū ke kumu o ka hewa. ʻO ka mīkini āu i kūʻai ai e hoʻomaikaʻi iā lākou ke kumu o ka hewa. Ua hāʻule ʻoe i loko o kekahi o nā pahele ʻono maʻamau i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai home: ka ʻimi ʻana i ka maʻemaʻe ma ke kumukūʻai o ka kemika.

ʻO ke Alchemy o ka ʻOno i Hoʻomaopopo Kūpono ʻole ʻia

ʻAʻole he hana hoʻokahi ka ʻono i loko o kāu kīʻaha. He hana paʻakikī ia, he kūkākūkā ma waena o ka wai wela a me ka mea maloʻo. ʻO ka wai kamea hoʻoheheʻe, ʻaʻole wale he mea lawe hana ʻole. ʻO kona ʻike mineral—kona "ʻano pilikino"—he mea koʻikoʻi ia i kēia kaʻina hana.

• He mea hoʻokahe ikaika ka magnesium, maikaʻi no ka huki ʻana i nā nota hohonu a wiwo ʻole mai ke kofe.
• He mea kōkua ka calcium i ke kino poepoe a piha.
• Hiki i kahi alkalinity bicarbonate liʻiliʻi ke hoʻohālikelike i ka acidity maoli, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ana i nā ʻaoʻao ʻoi.

Hoʻopau kahi ʻōnaehana Reverse Osmosis (RO) kuʻuna i ka aneane 99% o kēia mau minelala. ʻO ka mea āu e koe nei, ʻaʻole ia he wai "maʻemaʻe" ma ke ʻano kuke;hakahakawai. He mea hoʻoheheʻe ikaika loa ia me ka ʻole o ka buffer, pinepine iki ka waikawa. Hiki iā ia ke hoʻopuka nui i kekahi mau hui ʻawaʻawa me ka hiki ʻole ke huki i ka ʻono kaulike a me ka paʻakikī. ʻO ka hopena he kīʻaha hiki ke ʻono hakahaka, ʻoi, a hoʻokahi-dimensional.

ʻAʻole ʻoe i hana i ke kofe maikaʻi ʻole. Ua hāʻawi ʻoe i kāu kofe maikaʻi i ka wai ʻino.

ʻO nā ʻIke Wai ʻEkolu: ʻO wai ka mea i loko o kāu lumi kuke?

1. ʻO ka Empty Canvas (Standard RO): Haʻahaʻa loa ka nui o nā minelala (< 50 ppm TDS). Hiki ke hoʻopalapala i ka ʻono o ke kofe, palupalu ka ʻono o ke kī, a hiki ke ʻono iki i ka "ʻawaʻawa" ma kona iho. Maikaʻi loa no ka palekana, maikaʻi ʻole no ka meaʻai.
2. ʻO ka Balanced Brush (Ideal Range): He ʻano mineral maʻamau (ma kahi o 150-300 ppm TDS), me ke kaulike o nā minelala. ʻO kēia kahi ʻono—wai me ke ʻano lawa e lawe i ka ʻono me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoluhi nui ʻana. ʻO kēia ka mea a nā hale kūʻai kope premium e makemake ai me kā lākou mau ʻōnaehana kānana.
3. ʻO ka Pena Mana Loa (Wai Paʻa): Kiʻekiʻe i ka calcium a me ka magnesium (>300 ppm TDS). Hiki ke alakaʻi i ka scaling nui, lanakila i nā ʻono palupalu, a waiho i kahi ʻano ʻōkaʻi o ka waha.

Inā he mea makemake nui ʻoe—i ke kofe, ke kī, nā cocktails whiskey, a i ʻole ka hoʻomoʻa berena (ʻae, he mea nui ka wai ma laila)—ʻo kāu mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe maʻamau paha kāu keakea nui loa.

Pehea e hoʻihoʻi ai i ka ʻono: ʻEkolu mau ala i ka wai maikaʻi aʻe

ʻAʻole ka pahuhopu e hoʻi i ka wai kānana ʻole. Akā, e loaʻakānana akamai ʻiawai. Pono ʻoe e wehe i nā mea ʻino (chlorine, nā mea haumia) ʻoiai e mālama ana a hoʻohui hou paha i nā mea maikaʻi (nā minelala maikaʻi).

1. Ka Hoʻonui: Nā Kānana Hoʻihoʻi Hou
   ʻO kēia ka hoʻoponopono nani loa. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohui i kahi kānana alkaline a remineralization post-filter paha i kāu ʻōnaehana RO o kēia manawa. Ke haʻalele ka wai maʻemaʻe i ka membrane, hele ia ma o kahi cartridge e loaʻa ana ka calcium, magnesium, a me nā minelala ʻē aʻe, e kūkulu hou ana i kahi ʻano olakino. Ua like ia me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi "paʻakai hoʻopau" i kou wai.
2. ʻO ke Koho ʻē aʻe: Kānana Koho
   E noʻonoʻo i nā ʻōnaehana ʻaʻole hilinaʻi i ka RO. Hiki i kahi kānana poloka kalapona hoʻāla kiʻekiʻe (pinepine me kahi kānana mua o ka sediment) ke wehe i ka chlorine, nā pesticides, a me nā ʻono maikaʻi ʻole me ka waiho ʻana i nā minelala kūlohelohe. No nā wahi me ka wai kūlanakauhale palekana akā ʻono maikaʻi ʻole, hiki i kēia ke lilo i hopena mālama ʻono.
3. ʻO ka Mea Hana Pololei: Nā Kulu Mineral Maʻamau
   No ka mea makemake nui maoli, ʻo nā huahana e like me ka Third Wave Water a i ʻole nā ​​​​mineral concentrates e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke lilo i sommelier wai. Hoʻomaka ʻoe me ka wai zero-TDS (mai kāu ʻōnaehana RO a i ʻole distilled) a hoʻohui i nā ʻeke mineral kikoʻī e hana i ka wai i hana ʻia no ka espresso, ninini ʻana, a i ʻole ke kī. ʻO ia ka mana hope loa.

ʻO ka hopena: ʻAʻole pono kāu mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai e lilo i mea hoʻopau ʻono. ʻO kāna hana ka mea hoʻonui ʻono. Inā hāʻule kāu mau mea inu i hoʻomākaukau pono ʻia, mai hoʻāhewa mua i kāu ʻano hana. E nānā i kāu wai.

Ua hiki i ka manawa e neʻe ai ma ʻō aku o ka wai "maʻemaʻe" vs. "lepo" a hoʻomaka e noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka wai "kākoʻo" vs. "hoʻouka kaua". E mahalo aku kou waha—a me kāu hana kakahiaka.
