Ndakhala ndikuyesa zosefera zamadzi za Wirecutter kuyambira 2016. Mu lipoti langa, ndakhala ndikulankhulana kwa nthawi yayitali ndi mabungwe otsimikizira zosefera kuti ndimvetse momwe mayeso awo adachitikira, ndipo ndafufuza m'ma database awo aboma kuti nditsimikizire kuti zomwe wopanga adanene zidathandizidwa ndi mayeso a Certification. Ndalankhulanso ndi oimira opanga zosefera zamadzi angapo, kuphatikiza Aquasana/AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita ndi Pur, kuti ndiwafunse zomwe akunena. Ndipo ndakhala ndikuwona zosankha zathu zonse, chifukwa kukhala ndi moyo, kulimba, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mosavuta ndikofunikira pa chipangizo chomwe mumagwiritsa ntchito kangapo patsiku. Wasayansi wakale wa NOAA John Holecek adafufuza ndikulemba malangizo oyambira osefera madzi a Wirecutter, adachita mayeso akeake, adalamula mayeso ena odziyimira pawokha, ndipo adandiphunzitsa zambiri zomwe ndikudziwa. Ntchito yanga yamangidwa pamaziko ake.
Mwatsoka, palibe yankho limodzi lokha loyenera aliyense ngati mukufuna fyuluta yamadzi. Ku United States, madzi a anthu onse amayendetsedwa ndi EPA motsatira Clean Water Act, ndipo madzi ochokera m'malo oyeretsera madzi a anthu onse ayenera kukwaniritsa miyezo yokhwima. Koma si zinthu zonse zodetsa zomwe zingachitike zomwe zimayendetsedwa. Momwemonso, zinthu zodetsa zimatha kulowa m'madzi mutatuluka m'malo oyeretsera kudzera m'mapaipi otayikira (PDF) kapena kudzera m'mapaipi okha. Kusamalira madzi pafakitale (kapena kunyalanyazidwa) kungapangitse kuti madzi atuluke m'mapaipi otsika—monga momwe zinachitikira ku Flint, Michigan.
Kuti mudziwe zomwe zili m'madzi a ogulitsa anu akachoka pamalopo, nthawi zambiri mutha kuyang'ana lipoti la EPA la ogulitsa anu pa intaneti; ngati sichoncho, ogulitsa madzi onse akuyenera kukupatsani CCR ngati mukufuna. Koma chifukwa cha kuipitsidwa komwe kungachitike pambuyo pake, njira yokhayo yodziwira kuti madzi ali m'nyumba mwanu ndi kulipira labotale yamadzi yapafupi kuti ayesere.
Monga lamulo: nyumba yanu kapena dera lanu likakula, chiopsezo cha kuipitsidwa kwa madzi m'madzi chimakhala chachikulu. Bungwe la EPA limati "nyumba zomwe zinamangidwa isanafike 1986 zimakhala ndi mwayi wogwiritsa ntchito mapaipi a lead, zida zomangira ndi solder" - zinthu zakale zomwe kale zinali zofala ndipo sizikukwaniritsa malamulo apano. Ukalamba umawonjezeranso mwayi woipitsidwa kwa madzi apansi panthaka omwe adakhazikitsidwa kale ndi makampani, zomwe zingakhale zoopsa, makamaka zikaphatikizidwa ndi kuwonongeka kwa mapaipi apansi panthaka chifukwa cha ukalamba.
Ngati banja lanu limamwa madzi opitilira malita awiri kapena atatu patsiku, fyuluta yamadzi yomwe ili pansi pa sinki ingakhale njira yabwino kuposa fyuluta ya jug. Dongosolo la pansi pa sinki limapereka madzi akumwa osefedwa nthawi iliyonse popanda kudikira kuti njira yosefedwa ithe, monga thanki yamadzi. Kusefa "pakufunika" kumatanthauzanso kuti dongosolo la pansi pa sinki lingapereke madzi okwanira ophikira - mwachitsanzo, mutha kudzaza mphika ndi madzi osefedwa kuti muphike pasitala, koma simudzadzazanso mtsuko mobwerezabwereza chifukwa cha zimenezo.
Zosefera za pansi pa sinki zimakhala ndi mphamvu yayitali komanso moyo wautali kuposa zosefera za m'chitini—nthawi zambiri zimakhala magaloni mazana ambiri ndi miyezi isanu ndi umodzi kapena kuposerapo, poyerekeza ndi magaloni 40 ndi magaloni 40 a zosefera zambiri za m'chitini. Miyezi iwiri. Ndipo chifukwa zosefera za pansi pa sinki zimagwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya madzi m'malo mwa mphamvu yokoka kuti zikankhire madzi mu fyuluta, zosefera zawo zimatha kukhala zokhuthala, kotero zimatha kuchotsa zinthu zambiri zodetsa.
Koma vuto ndi lakuti ndi okwera mtengo kuposa zosefera za pitcher, ndipo zosintha zosefera zimakhala zokwera mtengo kwambiri malinga ndi momwe zinthu zilili komanso pa avareji pakapita nthawi. Dongosololi limatenganso malo mu kabati la sinki lomwe likanakhalapo kuti lisungidwe.
Kuyika fyuluta pansi pa sinki kumafuna kukhazikitsa mapaipi ndi zida zoyambira, koma ndi ntchito yosavuta pokhapokha ngati sinki yanu ili kale ndi dzenje limodzi lopopera. Ngati sichoncho, muyenera kuchotsa malo amodzi mwa pompo omwe ali mkati mwake (omwe amawoneka ngati ma disc okwezedwa pama sinki achitsulo, kapena zizindikiro pama sinki amwala opangidwa). Popanda kugwetsa, muyenera kuboola dzenje mu sinki, ndipo ngati sinki yanu ili pansi pa sinki, muyeneranso kuboola dzenje mu kauntala. Ngati pakadali pano muli ndi chotsukira sopo, chotsukira chotsukira mbale, kapena chotsukira chonyamula m'manja pa sinki, mutha kuchichotsa ndikuyika pompo pamenepo.
Mafyuluta amadzi, matanki ndi zotulutsira madzi awa ali ndi ziphaso zochotsera zinthu zodetsa ndikukonza madzi akumwa apakhomo.
Bukuli likunena za mtundu winawake wa fyuluta yosungira madzi pansi pa sinki: yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito fyuluta ya cartridge ndikutumiza madzi osefedwa ku pompo yosiyana. Awa ndi mafyuluta otchuka kwambiri osungira madzi pansi pa sinki. Amatenga malo ochepa ndipo nthawi zambiri amakhala osavuta kuyika ndi kusamalira. Amagwiritsa ntchito zinthu zokoka madzi—nthawi zambiri ma resins osinthidwa a kaboni ndi ma ion, monga mafyuluta a pitcher—kuti amange ndikuchepetsa kuipitsa. Sitikulankhula za mafyuluta oyikidwa pa faipi, machitidwe osinthika a osmosis, kapena matanki ena kapena zotulutsira madzi.
Kuti tiwonetsetse kuti tikupangira mafyuluta omwe mungawadalire okha, tanena kuti zomwe tasankhazi zatsimikiziridwa ndi muyezo wamakampani: ANSI/NSF. American National Standards Institute ndi NSF International ndi mabungwe achinsinsi, osachita phindu omwe amagwira ntchito ndi EPA, oimira mafakitale ndi akatswiri ena kuti apange miyezo yokhwima yaubwino ndi njira zoyesera zinthu zambirimbiri, kuphatikizapo mafyuluta amadzi. Ma laboratories awiri akuluakulu ovomerezeka a mafyuluta amadzi ndi NSF International yokha ndi Water Quality Association (WQA). Onse awiri ali ovomerezeka ku North America ndi ANSI ndi Standards Council of Canada pa mayeso ovomerezeka a ANSI/NSF, ndipo onse ayenera kutsatira miyezo yoyesera ndi njira zomwezo. Mafyuluta sakwaniritsa miyezo ya satifiketi mpaka atapitirira nthawi yawo yoyembekezeredwa, pogwiritsa ntchito zitsanzo "zovuta" zokonzedwa zomwe zili ndi zodetsa kwambiri kuposa madzi ambiri apampopi.
Pa chitsogozo ichi, tikuyang'ana kwambiri pa zosefera zomwe zili ndi satifiketi ya chlorine, lead, ndi VOC (yomwe imadziwikanso kuti volatile organic compounds).
Chitsimikizo cha chlorine (malinga ndi ANSI/Standard 42) n'chofunika chifukwa chlorine nthawi zambiri ndiye amachititsa kuti madzi apampopi akhale "oipa". Koma ndi mphatso yabwino kwambiri: Pafupifupi mitundu yonse ya zosefera madzi imavomerezedwa.
Chitsimikizo cha lead ndi chovuta kupeza chifukwa chimatanthauza kuchepetsa mayankho okhala ndi lead ndi 99%.
Chitsimikizo cha VOC chilinso chovuta, chifukwa zikutanthauza kuti fyuluta imatha kuchotsa zinthu zoposa 50 zachilengedwe, kuphatikizapo zinthu zambiri zodziwika bwino monga biocides ndi zinthu zina zoyambira mafakitale. Si zosefera zonse zomwe zili pansi pa sinki zomwe zili ndi zitsimikizo zonse ziwiri, kotero poyang'ana kwambiri zosefera zomwe zili ndi zitsimikizo zonse ziwiri, tapeza zomwe zimagwira ntchito bwino kwambiri.
Tinachepetsa kufufuza kwathu kuti tisankhe mafyuluta ovomerezeka ndi ANSI/NSF Standard 401 yatsopano, yomwe imakhudza kuchuluka kwa zinthu zodetsa zomwe zikubwera m'madzi aku US, monga mankhwala. Komanso, si mafyuluta onse omwe ali ndi satifiketi ya 401, kotero omwe ali nayo (komanso ma satifiketi a lead ndi VOC) ndi gulu losankhidwa kwambiri.
Mu gawo lokhazikika ili, timayang'ana omwe ali ndi mphamvu zosachepera magaloni 500. Izi zikufanana ndi nthawi yogwiritsira ntchito fyuluta ya miyezi pafupifupi isanu ndi umodzi pogwiritsa ntchito kwambiri (magaloni 2¾ patsiku). Kwa mabanja ambiri, madzi osefedwa awa ndi okwanira kumwa ndi kuphika tsiku ndi tsiku. (Opanga amapereka ndondomeko zovomerezeka zosinthira fyuluta, nthawi zambiri zimayesedwa m'miyezi osati m'magaloni; timatsatira malangizo awa mu kuwunika kwathu ndi kuwerengera mtengo. Timalimbikitsa nthawi zonse kugwiritsa ntchito zosinthira zoyambirira za opanga, osati zosefera za anthu ena.)
Pomaliza, tinayesa mtengo wa makina onsewa poyerekeza ndi mtengo womwe ulipo wosintha fyuluta. Sitinakhazikitse mtengo kapena denga, koma kafukufuku wathu adawonetsa kuti ngakhale mtengo wa fyuluta unali pakati pa $100 ndi $1,250 ndipo mtengo wa fyuluta unali pakati pa $60 ndi pafupifupi $300, kusiyana kumeneku sikunawonekere mu chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri cha A chokwera mtengo kwambiri m'mafotokozedwe. Tapeza mafyuluta angapo otsika mtengo pamtengo wotsika kwambiri wa $200 pomwe amapereka satifiketi yabwino komanso moyo wautali. Awa adakhala omaliza athu. Kuphatikiza pa izi, tikuyang'ananso:
Pa kafukufuku wathu, nthawi zina tinkakumana ndi malipoti okhudza kutuluka kwa madzi koopsa kuchokera kwa eni ake a fyuluta yamadzi yomwe ili pansi pa sinki. Popeza fyulutayo imalumikizidwa ndi chingwe cholowera madzi ozizira, ngati cholumikizira kapena payipi yasweka, madzi amatuluka mpaka valavu yotseka itatsekedwa - zomwe zikutanthauza kuti zingatenge maola kapena masiku kuti mupeze vutoli, zomwe zingakubweretsereni mavuto aakulu chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwa madzi anu. Izi sizachilendo, koma pali zoopsa zomwe muyenera kuziganizira pogula fyuluta yomwe ili pansi pa sinki. Ngati mugula imodzi, tsatirani malangizo oyika mosamala, samalani kuti musakankhire cholumikiziracho, kenako pang'onopang'ono muyatse madzi kuti muwone ngati akutuluka.
Fyuluta ya reverse osmosis kapena R/O imayamba ndi mtundu womwewo wa fyuluta ya cartridge yomwe tasankha pano, koma imawonjezera njira yachiwiri yosefera reverse osmosis: nembanemba yokhala ndi mabowo abwino yomwe imalola madzi kudutsa koma kusefa zinthu zamchere zosungunuka ndi zinthu zina.
Tikhoza kukambirana mozama za zosefera za R/O mu kalozera wamtsogolo. Apa tikuzikana kwathunthu. Zili ndi ubwino wochepa poyerekeza ndi zosefera zothira madzi; zimapanga madzi ambiri otayira (nthawi zambiri zimasefa magaloni 4 a madzi otayira "otayira" pa galoni imodzi), pomwe zosefera zothira madzi sizipanga madzi otayira; zimatenga malo ambiri, chifukwa mosiyana ndi zosefera zothira madzi, zimagwiritsa ntchito thanki ya galoni imodzi kapena ziwiri kusungira madzi osefedwa; ndizochedwa kwambiri kuposa zosefera zothira madzi pansi pa sinki.
Tachita mayeso a labotale pa zosefera zamadzi m'zaka zingapo zapitazi, ndipo mfundo yaikulu yomwe taphunzira kuchokera mu mayeso athu ndi yakuti satifiketi ya ANSI/NSF ndi muyeso wodalirika wa magwiridwe antchito a zosefera. Izi sizosadabwitsa chifukwa cha mayeso ovuta kwambiri a satifiketi. Kuyambira pamenepo, tadalira satifiketi ya ANSI/NSF m'malo mongoyesa zathu zochepa kuti tisankhe opikisana nawo.
Mu 2018, tinayesa njira yotchuka yosefera madzi ya Big Berkey, yomwe siili ndi satifiketi ya ANSI/NSF, koma imati yayesedwa kwambiri motsatira miyezo ya ANSI/NSF. Izi zinalimbitsanso kukakamira kwathu kuti tipeze satifiketi yeniyeni ya ANSI/NSF komanso kusakhulupirira kwathu zomwe zanenedwa kuti "ANSI/NSF Yayesedwa".
Kuyambira pamenepo, komanso mu 2019, mayeso athu ayang'ana kwambiri momwe zinthu zingakhalire zogwiritsidwa ntchito komanso mitundu ya zinthu zothandiza komanso zovuta zomwe zimaonekera mukamagwiritsa ntchito zinthuzi.
Yovomerezeka ndi zinthu zambiri zodetsa, zomwe zimapezeka kwambiri, zotsika mtengo, komanso zazing'ono, Aquasana AQ-5200 ndiye njira yoyamba yosefera madzi yomwe timayang'ana.
Chosankha chathu ndi Aquasana AQ-5200, yomwe imadziwikanso kuti Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Chofunika kwambiri mpaka pano ndichakuti zosefera zake zili ndi ziphaso zabwino kwambiri za ANSI/NSF za omwe akupikisana nawo, kuphatikiza chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, VOCs, "zonyansa zotuluka" zambiri ndi PFOA ndi PFOS. Kupatula apo, zida zake za faucet ndi plumbing zimapangidwa ndi chitsulo cholimba, chomwe ndi chapamwamba kuposa pulasitiki yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi opanga ena. Ndipo dongosololi ndi laling'ono kwambiri. Pomaliza, Aquasana AQ-5200 ndi imodzi mwazabwino kwambiri zomwe tapeza mu zosefera zomwe sizili pansi pa sinki, mtengo wake woyamba wa dongosolo lonse (fyuluta, nyumba, faucet, ndi zida) nthawi zambiri umakhala pafupifupi $140 pasadakhale, ndipo seti ziwiri zimagulitsidwa pa $60 kuti zisinthe fyuluta. Izi ndi zochepa poyerekeza ndi opikisana nawo ambiri omwe ali ndi ziphaso zofooka.
Aquasana AQ-5200 ili ndi satifiketi ya ANSI/NSF (PDF) yozindikira zinthu 77 zodetsa. Kuphatikiza pa Aquasana AQ-5300+ ndi AO Smith AO-US-200 yofanana, izi zimapangitsa AQ-5200 kukhala njira yotsimikizika yamphamvu kwambiri yomwe timasankha. (AO Smith adagula Aquasana mu 2016 ndipo adagwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo wake wambiri; AO Smith alibe mapulani ochotsa mzere wazinthu za Aquasana.) Mosiyana ndi zimenezi, fyuluta yabwino kwambiri ya Pur Pitcher yokhala ndi lead reduction ili ndi satifiketi ya 23.
Ziphasozi zikuphatikizapo chlorine, yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito kupha tizilombo toyambitsa matenda m'madzi a m'matauni ndipo ndiyo chifukwa chachikulu cha "kukoma koipa" m'madzi apampopi; lead, yomwe imatuluka m'mapaipi akale ndi solder ya mapaipi; mercury; Cryptosporidium yamoyo ndi Giardia flagellates, tizilombo toyambitsa matenda awiri omwe angakhalepo; ndi chloramine, mankhwala ophera tizilombo a chloramine omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ndi zomera zosefera kum'mwera kwa United States, chlorine yeniyeni yomwe imawonongeka mwachangu m'madzi ofunda. Aquasana AQ-5200 yavomerezedwanso chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa "zonyansa zomwe zikubwera" 15 m'madzi apagulu, kuphatikiza BPA, ibuprofen, ndi estrone (estrogen yomwe imagwiritsidwa ntchito poletsa kubereka); ya PFOA ndi PFOS— — Mankhwala ochokera ku fluorine omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga zinthu zosamatira ndipo adalandira upangiri wa zaumoyo wa EPA mu February 2019. (Panthawi yokambirana, opanga atatu okha a zosefera zotere ndi omwe adavomerezedwa ndi PFOA/S, zomwe zimapangitsa izi kukhala zodziwika bwino.) Ilinso ndi chiphaso cha VOC. Izi zikutanthauza kuti imatha kuchotsa bwino mankhwala opitilira 50 osiyanasiyana achilengedwe, kuphatikiza mankhwala ambiri ophera tizilombo ndi zinthu zoyambira mafakitale.
Kuwonjezera pa ma resini osinthika a kaboni ndi ma ion (omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri ngati si onse omwe ali pansi pa sinki), Aquasana imagwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo wina wowonjezera wa fyuluta kuti ipeze satifiketi. Pa ma chloramine, imawonjezera kaboni woyambitsa, kaboni woyambitsa wokhala ndi pobowo ndipo motero umagwira ntchito bwino kwambiri wopangidwa pochiza kaboni ndi mpweya wotentha kwambiri. Pa Cryptosporidium ndi Giardia, Aquasana imapanga fyuluta pochepetsa kukula kwa pobowo kufika pa ma microns 0.5, kakang'ono kokwanira kuwagwira.
Chitsimikizo chapamwamba cha fyuluta ya Aquasana AQ-5200 chinali chifukwa chachikulu chomwe tidasankhira. Koma kapangidwe kake ndi zipangizo zake zimasiyanitsanso. Faucet imapangidwa ndi chitsulo cholimba, komanso ma T-clamp omwe amalumikiza fyuluta ku chitoliro. Opikisana ena amagwiritsa ntchito pulasitiki pa chimodzi kapena zonse ziwiri, kuchepetsa ndalama koma kumawonjezera chiopsezo cha kulumikiza ulusi ndi kuyika kolakwika. AQ-5200 imagwiritsa ntchito zolumikizira zokakamiza kuti zitsimikizire kuti pali chisindikizo cholimba komanso chotetezeka pakati pa chubu ndi chubu cha pulasitiki chomwe chimanyamula madzi kupita ku fyuluta ndi pompo; opikisana ena amagwiritsa ntchito zolumikizira zosavuta, zomwe sizili zotetezeka kwenikweni. Faucet ya AQ-5200 imapezeka m'mitundu itatu (nickel yopukutidwa, chrome yopukutidwa, ndi bronze wothira mafuta), pomwe opikisana ena alibe chochita.
Timakondanso mawonekedwe ang'onoang'ono a makina a AQ-5200. Amagwiritsa ntchito ma fyuluta awiri, iliyonse yayikulu pang'ono kuposa chidebe cha soda; ena, kuphatikiza Aquasana AQ-5300+ pansipa, ndi kukula kwa botolo la lita imodzi.
