Takhala tikuchita kafukufuku wodziyimira pawokha ndikuyesa zinthu kwazaka zopitilira 120. Ngati mutagula kudzera pa maulalo athu, titha kupeza ntchito. Dziwani zambiri za ndondomeko yathu yowunikira.
Ngati mukufuna madzi apampopi tsiku ndi tsiku, ingakhale nthawi yoti muyike fyuluta yamadzi kukhitchini yanu. Zosefera zamadzi zimapangidwira kuti ziyeretse madzi pochotsa zowononga zowononga monga chlorine, lead ndi mankhwala ophera tizilombo, ndipo kuchuluka kwa kuchotsa kumasiyana malinga ndi zovuta za fyuluta. Amathanso kusintha kukoma kwake komanso, nthawi zina, kumveka bwino kwa madzi.
Kuti apeze fyuluta yabwino kwambiri yamadzi, akatswiri a Good Housekeeping Institute adayesa bwino ndikusanthula zosefera zamadzi zopitilira 30. Zosefera zamadzi zomwe tikuwunika pano zikuphatikiza zosefera zamadzi m'nyumba yonse, zosefera zamadzi zakuya, zosefera zamadzi, mabotolo osefera madzi, ndi zosefera zamadzi osambira.
Pamapeto pa bukhuli, mutha kuphunzira zambiri za momwe timawonera zosefera zamadzi mu labu yathu, komanso zonse zomwe muyenera kudziwa pogula fyuluta yabwino kwambiri yamadzi. Mukufuna kuwonjezera madzi omwe mumamwa mukamayenda? Onani chitsogozo chathu ku mabotolo abwino kwambiri amadzi.
Ingotsegulani pampopi ndikukhala ndi madzi osefa mpaka miyezi isanu ndi umodzi. Dongosolo losefera pansi lozamali limachotsa klorini, zitsulo zolemera, cysts, herbicides, mankhwala ophera tizilombo, zinthu zosakhazikika za organic ndi zina zambiri. Izi zimagwiritsidwanso ntchito kunyumba kwa Dr. Birnur Aral, yemwe kale anali mkulu wa GH Research Institute's Beauty, Health and Sustainability Laboratory.
“Ndimagwiritsa ntchito madzi osefedwa pafupifupi chilichonse, kuyambira kuphika mpaka khofi, kotero kuti fyuluta yamadzi yapa tebulo silingagwire ntchito kwa ine,” akutero. "Izi zikutanthauza kuti palibe chifukwa chodzaza mabotolo amadzi kapena zotengera." Ili ndi kuthamanga kwakukulu koma imafuna kukhazikitsa.
Chimodzi mwazosefera zathu zamadzi zapamwamba, fyuluta ya Brita Longlast + imachotsa zowononga zopitilira 30 monga chlorine, zitsulo zolemera, ma carcinogens, zosokoneza endocrine, ndi zina zambiri. Timayamikira kusefa kwake mwachangu, komwe kumangotenga masekondi 38 pa kapu imodzi. Poyerekeza ndi zomwe zidalipo kale, zimatha miyezi isanu ndi umodzi m'malo mwa iwiri ndipo sizisiya mawanga akuda m'madzi.
Rachel Rothman, yemwe kale anali mkulu wa ukadaulo komanso mkulu waukadaulo wa GH Research Institute, amagwiritsa ntchito mtsukowu m'banja lake la ana asanu. Amakonda kukoma kwa madzi komanso kuti safunikira kusintha fyuluta nthawi zambiri. Choyipa chaching'ono ndichakuti kusamba m'manja ndikofunikira.
Mwamwayi, yemwe amadziwika kuti "shower head of the Internet," Jolie mosakayikira wakhala m'modzi mwa anthu otchuka kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi, makamaka chifukwa cha kapangidwe kake kowoneka bwino. Kuyesa kwathu kwakukulu kunyumba kwatsimikizira kuti zimagwirizana ndi hype. Mosiyana ndi zosefera zina za shawa zomwe taziyesa, Jolie Filter Showerhead ili ndi kapangidwe kachidutswa kamodzi komwe kamafuna khama pang'ono kuyiyika. Jacqueline Saguin, yemwe kale anali mkonzi wamkulu wa bizinesi ku GH, adati zidamutengera pafupifupi mphindi 15 kuti akhazikitse.
Tinapeza kuti ili ndi luso la kusefera kwa chlorine. Zosefera zake zimakhala ndi KDF-55 ndi calcium sulfate, zomwe kampaniyo imati ndizabwinoko kuposa zosefera wamba za kaboni potsekera zonyansa m'madzi osambira otentha komanso opanikizika kwambiri. Atatha pafupifupi chaka chimodzi akugwiritsa ntchito, Sachin anaona “kuchuluka kwa madzi akuchulukira pafupi ndi bafa,” ndipo ananenanso kuti “madziwo amakhala ofewa popanda kutsika mphamvu.”
Kumbukirani kuti mutu wa shawa wokha ndiwokwera mtengo, monganso mtengo wosinthira fyuluta.
Mtsuko wawung'ono koma wamphamvu wamagalasi wosefera madzi umalemera mapaundi 6 okha ukadzaza. Ndizopepuka komanso zosavuta kuzigwira ndikutsanulira mu mayeso athu. Imapezekanso mu pulasitiki, yomwe imapangitsa kuti madzi azikoma komanso azimveka bwino. Dziwani kuti mudzazidzadzanso nthawi zambiri chifukwa zimangotenga makapu 2.5 amadzi apampopi ndipo tapeza kuti zimasefa pang'onopang'ono.
Kuphatikiza apo, mbiya iyi imagwiritsa ntchito zosefera zamitundu iwiri: fyuluta yaying'ono ya membrane ndi zosefera za kaboni zokhala ndi ion exchanger. Ndemanga yathu ya data yoyesa labu ya gulu lachitatu imatsimikizira kuti imachotsa zowononga zopitilira 30, kuphatikiza chlorine, microplastics, sediment, heavy metal, volatile organic compounds, endocrine disruptors, mankhwala ophera tizilombo, mankhwala, E. coli, ndi cysts.
Brita ndi mtundu womwe umachita bwino nthawi zonse pamayeso athu a labu. Woyesa wina adati amakonda botolo loyendali chifukwa amatha kulidzaza paliponse ndikudziwa kuti madzi awo amakoma mwatsopano. Botolo limabwera muzitsulo zosapanga dzimbiri kapena pulasitiki-oyesa adapeza kuti botolo lachitsulo chosapanga dzimbiri lokhala ndi mipanda iwiri limasunga madzi ozizira komanso atsopano tsiku lonse.
Imapezekanso mu kukula kwa 26-ounce (imagwirizana ndi omwe amanyamula chikho) kapena kukula kwa 36-ounce (yomwe imakhala yothandiza ngati mukuyenda mtunda wautali kapena simungathe kudzaza madzi nthawi zonse). Chingwe chonyamulira chomangirira chimapangitsanso kukhala kosavuta kunyamula. Ogwiritsa ntchito ena awona kuti kapangidwe ka udzuwo kamapangitsa kuti kumwa kumakhala kovuta.
Brita Hub adapambana Mphotho ya GH Kitchenware atachita chidwi ndi oweruza athu ndi makina ake operekera madzi omwe amagawira madzi pamanja kapena okha. Wopangayo akuti fyulutayo imatha kusinthidwa pakatha miyezi isanu ndi umodzi. Komabe, Nicole Papantoniou, mkulu wa Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Laboratory ku GH Research Institute, amangofunika kusintha fyuluta miyezi isanu ndi iwiri iliyonse.
“Ili ndi mphamvu yayikulu kotero simudzasowa kuidzaza pafupipafupi. [Ndimakonda] kuthira kodziwikiratu chifukwa ndimatha kuchokako kudzadza,” adatero Papantoniou. Kodi ndi zolakwika ziti zomwe akatswiri athu amawona? Chizindikiro chofiira chikangoyatsa chosinthira chosefera, chimasiya kugwira ntchito. Onetsetsani kuti muli ndi zosefera zina.
Tanki yamadzi ya Larq PurVis imatha kusefa zowononga 45 monga ma microplastics, zitsulo zolemera, VOCs, zosokoneza endocrine, PFOA ndi PFOS, mankhwala ndi zina. Kampaniyo imapitanso patsogolo pogwiritsira ntchito kuwala kwa UV kuti asiye E. coli ndi mabakiteriya a salmonella omwe amatha kudziunjikira m'mitsuko yamadzi yosefera posefa chlorine.
Poyesa, tidakonda kuti pulogalamu ya Larq ndiyosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito komanso imasunga nthawi yomwe muyenera kusintha zosefera, kotero palibe zongopeka zomwe zimakhudzidwa. Imatsanulidwa bwino, sitayikira, ndipo ndi yotetezeka ku chotsukira mbale, kupatula kachingwe kakang'ono kothachachanso komwe tidapeza kosavuta kutsuka ndi manja. Chonde dziwani: zosefera zitha kukhala zodula kuposa zosefera zina.
Bizinesi ikatha, mutha kuwonetsa monyadira mbiya yosefera yamadzi pa desiki yanu ndi mawonekedwe ake owoneka bwino komanso amakono. Sikuti zimangodziwika ndi mapangidwe ake apadera, koma ubwino wathu umakondanso kuti mawonekedwe a hourglass amapangitsa kuti zikhale zosavuta kugwira.
Imasefa chlorine ndi zitsulo zinayi zolemera, kuphatikizapo cadmium, mkuwa, mercury ndi zinki, kupyolera mu fyuluta yobisika ya cone pamwamba pa carafe. Akatswiri athu adawona kuti ndizosavuta kukhazikitsa, kudzaza ndi kutsanulira, koma zimafunikira kusamba m'manja.
"Ndizosavuta kukhazikitsa, zotsika mtengo komanso zoyesedwa ku ANSI 42 ndi 53 miyezo, kotero imasefa modalirika zoipitsa zambiri," adatero Dan DiClerico, mkulu wa GH's Home Improvement and Outdoor Lab. Iye ankakonda kwambiri mapangidwe ake ndipo mtundu wa Culligan unadziwika.
Fyuluta iyi imakulolani kuti musinthe mosavuta kuchoka kumadzi osasefedwa kupita kumadzi osefedwa mwa kungokoka valavu yodutsa, ndipo palibe zida zomwe zimafunika kuti muyike fyuluta iyi pampopi yanu. Imasefa chlorine, sediment, lead ndi zina zambiri. Choyipa chimodzi ndikuti chimapangitsa kuti faucet ikhale yochulukirapo.
Ku Good Housekeeping Institute, gulu lathu la mainjiniya, akatswiri a zamankhwala, openda zinthu ndi akatswiri okonza nyumba amagwirira ntchito limodzi kuti adziwe fyuluta yabwino kwambiri yamadzi m'nyumba mwanu. Kwa zaka zambiri, tayesa zosefera zamadzi zopitilira 30 ndikupitilizabe kufunafuna zatsopano pamsika.
Kuti tiyese zosefera zamadzi, timaganizira za kuchuluka kwake, momwe zimakhalira zosavuta kuziyika, komanso (ngati zilipo) kuti ndizosavuta kuzidzaza. Kuti timveke bwino, timawerenganso buku lililonse la malangizo ndikuwunika ngati chotsukira mbale ndi chotetezeka. Timayesa magwiridwe antchito monga kuthamanga kwa kapu ya zosefera zamadzi ndikuyesa kuchuluka kwa madzi omwe thanki yamadzi yapampopi ingasunge.
Timatsimikiziranso zonena zochotsa madontho kutengera deta ya anthu ena. Mukasintha zosefera pamwambo womwe wopanga amalimbikitsa, timawunikanso moyo wa fyuluta iliyonse komanso mtengo wosinthira zosefera pachaka.
✔️ Mtundu ndi Mphamvu: Posankha mbiya, mabotolo ndi zopangira zina zomwe zimakhala ndi madzi osefa, muyenera kuganizira kukula ndi kulemera kwake. Zotengera zazikuluzikulu ndizabwino kuchepetsa zowonjezeredwa, koma zimakhala zolemetsa ndipo zimatha kutenga malo ambiri mufiriji kapena chikwama chanu. Chitsanzo cha countertop chimasunga malo a firiji ndipo nthawi zambiri chimatha kusunga madzi ambiri, koma chimafuna malo owerengera ndikugwiritsa ntchito madzi otentha.
Ndi zosefera zamadzi pansi pa sinki, zosefera za mipope, zosefera shawa ndi zosefera zanyumba yonse, palibe chifukwa chodera nkhawa za kukula kapena kuchuluka kwake chifukwa amasefa madzi akangotuluka.
✔️Mtundu Wosefera: Dziwani kuti zosefera zambiri zimakhala ndi mitundu ingapo yazosefera kuti muchotse zoyipitsidwa zosiyanasiyana. Zitsanzo zina zimatha kusiyanasiyana pazoyipa zomwe amachotsa, ndiye kuti ndi bwino kuyang'ana zomwe mtunduwo umasefa kuti zitsimikizire kuti zikugwirizana ndi zosowa zanu. Njira yodalirika yodziwira izi ndikuwunika kuti fyuluta ya NSF yatsimikiziridwa kuti ndi iti. Mwachitsanzo, mfundo zina zimangotengera lead, monga NSF 372, pomwe zina zimaphimbanso poizoni waulimi ndi mafakitale, monga NSF 401. Kuphatikiza apo, nazi njira zosiyanasiyana zosefera madzi:
✔️ Zosefera Zosefera: Yang'anani kangati muyenera kusintha fyuluta. Ngati mukuwopa kusintha fyuluta kapena kuiwala kuyisintha, mungafune kuyang'ana fyuluta yokhalitsa. Kuonjezera apo, ngati mugula zosefera za shawa, mbiya, ndi sinki, muyenera kukumbukira kuzisintha payekhapayekha, kotero kungakhale kwanzeru kulingalira kupita ndi fyuluta yanyumba yonse chifukwa mungofunika kusintha fyuluta imodzi. kwa nyumba yanu. nyumba yonse.
Ziribe kanthu kuti sefa yamadzi iti yomwe mungasankhe, sizingachitire zabwino ngati simusintha momwe mungafunire. "Kugwira ntchito kwa fyuluta yamadzi kumadalira mtundu wa gwero la madzi komanso momwe mumasinthira fyuluta," akutero Aral. Zitsanzo zina zimakhala ndi chizindikiro, koma ngati chitsanzocho chilibe chizindikiro, kuyenda pang'onopang'ono kapena mtundu wina wa madzi ndi chizindikiro chakuti fyuluta iyenera kusinthidwa.
✔️ Mtengo: Ganizirani za mtengo woyamba wa fyuluta yamadzi ndi mtengo woidzazanso. Fyuluta yamadzi imatha kuwononga ndalama zambiri poyambira, koma mtengo wake komanso kuchuluka kwa kusinthaku kungakupulumutseni ndalama pakapita nthawi. Koma sizili choncho nthawi zonse, choncho onetsetsani kuti mukuwerengera ndalama zosinthira chaka chilichonse malinga ndi ndondomeko yoyenera.
Kupeza madzi akumwa abwino ndi nkhani yapadziko lonse yomwe imakhudza anthu ku United States. Ngati simukutsimikiza za ubwino wa madzi anu, Bungwe la Environmental Working Group (EWG) lasintha malo ake osungira madzi apampopi mu 2021. Malo osungirako zinthuwa ndi aulere, osavuta kufufuza, ndipo ali ndi chidziwitso cha mayiko onse.
Lowetsani zip code yanu kapena fufuzani dziko lanu kuti mudziwe zambiri zamtundu wamadzi anu akumwa motengera miyezo ya EWG, yomwe ndi yokhwimitsa kwambiri kuposa miyezo ya boma. Ngati madzi anu apampopi akuposa malangizo a zaumoyo a EWG, mungafune kuganizira zogula fyuluta yamadzi.
Kusankha madzi a m'mabotolo ndi njira yochepa yothetsera madzi akumwa osatetezeka, koma kumabweretsa vuto lalikulu lomwe limakhala ndi zotsatira za nthawi yayitali za kuipitsidwa. Anthu aku America amataya matani 30 miliyoni apulasitiki chaka chilichonse, pomwe 8% okha ndi omwe amapangidwanso. Zambiri zimathera m'malo otayiramo zinyalala chifukwa pali malamulo osiyanasiyana okhudza zomwe zitha kubwezeretsedwanso. Kubetcha kwanu kopambana ndikuyika ndalama mu fyuluta yamadzi ndi botolo lamadzi lokongola, logwiritsidwanso ntchito—ena amakhala ndi zosefera zomangidwamo.
Nkhaniyi idalembedwa ndikuyesedwa ndi Jamie (Kim) Ueda, katswiri wazosefera madzi (ndi wogwiritsa ntchito nthawi zonse!). Ndi mlembi wodziyimira pawokha wokhazikika pakuyesa kwazinthu ndi ndemanga. Pamndandandawu, adayesa zosefera zingapo zamadzi ndikugwira ntchito ndi akatswiri ochokera ku ma lab angapo a Good Housekeeping Institute: Zipangizo Zam'khitchini & Zatsopano, Kukongola, Zaumoyo & Kukhazikika, Panja, Zida & Zamakono;
Nicole Papantoniou akukamba za kumasuka kugwiritsa ntchito mitsuko ndi mabotolo. Dr. Bill Noor Alar anathandizira kuwunika zofunikira zochotsa zonyansa zomwe zili pansi pa yankho lathu lililonse. Dan DiClerico ndi Rachel Rothman anapereka ukatswiri pa kukhazikitsa fyuluta.
Jamie Ueda ndi katswiri wazogulitsa ogula yemwe ali ndi zaka zopitilira 17 zopanga zinthu komanso luso lopanga. Wakhala ndi maudindo a utsogoleri m'makampani ogulitsa zinthu zapakatikati komanso imodzi mwazovala zodziwika bwino komanso zazikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi. Jamie akutenga nawo gawo pama lab angapo a GH Institute kuphatikiza zida zakukhitchini, media ndiukadaulo, nsalu ndi zida zapakhomo. Munthawi yake yopuma, amakonda kuphika, kuyenda komanso kusewera masewera.
Kusunga Nyumba Kwabwino kumatenga nawo gawo pamapulogalamu osiyanasiyana ogwirizana nawo, zomwe zikutanthauza kuti titha kulipidwa pazinthu zomwe zasankhidwa ndi mkonzi zomwe zagulidwa kudzera pamawebusayiti athu ogulitsa.
