Kei te haere tonu te Hokonga o Oketopa a Amazon. Mō ētahi atu utu Wirecutter e tika ana kia hokona, tirohia tā mātou rārangi o ngā utu pai rawa atu mō te Prime Day.
Ko te tangata e inu ana i te nui atu i te torutoru karani wai inu ia rā, tera pea ka tino makona ki te pūnaha tātari i raro i te totohu pērā i te Aquasana AQ-5200. He rerekē ki te hāte, ka whakaratohia e te tātari i raro i te totohu he puna wai tonu ina hiahiatia. E taunaki ana mātou i te Aquasana AQ-5200 nā te mea ko ana tiwhikete te mea pai rawa atu o ngā pūnaha katoa i kitea e mātou; kei roto i ēnei (pērā i ngā otinga katoa i konei) te chlorine, te mata, te mercury, te PFAS, ngā momo patu pepeke, me ngā kirihou moroiti.
Kua whakamanahia te Aquasana AQ-5200 e ANSI/NSF, ā, ka taea e ia te whakakore i te whānuitanga o ngā poke, tae atu ki te mata, te mercury, ngā patu pepeke, ngā kirihou moroiti, ngā rongoā me ētahi atu rauemi e kore e taea e te hunga whakataetae te hopu. Ko tētahi o ngā tātari torutoru kua whakamanahia kei roto ko te PFOA me te PFOS, arā, ngā matū pumau e rua e āwangawanga ana te Tari Tiaki Taiao.
Ko te utu mō te whakakapi i tētahi huinga tātari he $60 pea, $120 rānei ia tau, i runga i te huringa whakakapinga e ono marama te roa kua tūtohutia e Aquasana. Ā, he paku nui ake te pūnaha i ētahi kēne houra, nō reira kāore e nui te wāhi e nohoia ana i raro i te totohu. He kounga teitei ngā taputapu whakarewa, ā, he maha ngā momo whakaotinga e wātea ana mō ngā taputapu.
He rite tonu te AO Smith AO-US-200 ki te Aquasana AQ-5200 i ngā āhuatanga nui katoa. (Nā te mea i hokona e AO Smith a Aquasana i te tau 2016.) He rite tonu ngā āhuatanga papai, ngā taputapu whakarewa katoa, me te āhua kiato, engari nā te mea kei Lowe's anake e hokona ana, kāore i te tino whānui te wātea, ā, kotahi noa te whakaotinga o ōna taputapu. : nikara paraihe. He rite tonu ngā utu whakakapinga tātari: tata ki te $60 mō ia huinga, $120 rānei ia tau i runga i te huringa ono marama i tūtohutia e AO Smith.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete tino pai ki te AQ-5200, ā, he teitei ake te kaha rere me te tātari i te AQ-5200, me te tātari-mua hei tango i ngā putunga waikura.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete pai o te Aquasana AQ-5300+ Max Flow ki tā mātou whiringa pai rawa atu, engari he nui ake te rere (0.72 gpm vs. 0.5 gpm) me te kaha tātari (800 gpm vs. 500). gpm). Nā tēnei he kōwhiringa pai mō ngā whare e hiahia ana ki te nui o te wai tātari, ā, e hiahia ana kia tere tonu. Ka tāpirihia hoki he tātari-mua parapara kāore i te AQ-5200; ka taea e tēnei te whakawhānui i te tātari poke i ngā tere rere teitei ake i roto i ngā whare he nui te wai parapara. Heoi, he nui ake te AQ-5300+ (me ngā tātari he rite te rahi ki te pounamu e toru rita) i te AQ-5200, ā, he paku teitei ake ngā utu tīmatanga me te whakakapinga tātari (tata ki te $80 mō ia huinga, $160 rānei ia tau).
Ka tāutahia, kāore e hiahiatia he keri, ā, ka tukuna he wai tātari tae atu ki te 1.5 karani ia meneti mā roto i ngā taputapu wai kua oti te whakarite.
Ka hono tika te Claryum Direct Connect a Aquasana ki ngā taputapu wai o nāianei, ā, he kōwhiringa tino ātaahua tēnei mō ngā kairihi (tērā pea kāore e taea te neke) me te hunga kāore e taea te tāuta i tētahi taputapu wai tātari motuhake. Kāore e hiahiatia kia whakairihia ki te pakitara o te kāpata i raro i te totohu, ka tū noa i tōna taha. He rite tonu ōna tiwhikete ANSI/NSF ki ētahi atu tauira Aquasana me AO Smith, ā, ka taea te tuku tae atu ki te 1.5 karani wai tātari ia meneti. Ko te kaha whakatauranga o tēnei tātari he 784 karani, ā, me roa pea mō te ono marama. Engari kāore he tātari-mua mō te paru. Nō reira, ki te raru koe ki te paru, ehara tēnei i te kōwhiringa pai rawa atu nā te mea ka taea te ārai ngāwari. Ā, he nui—20.5 x 4.5 inihi—nō reira, ki te iti, ki te kīkī rānei tō kāpata totohu, tērā pea kāore e uru.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete tino pai ki te AQ-5200, ā, he teitei ake te kaha rere me te tātari i te AQ-5200, me te tātari-mua hei tango i ngā putunga waikura.
Ka tāutahia, kāore e hiahiatia he keri, ā, ka tukuna he wai tātari tae atu ki te 1.5 karani ia meneti mā roto i ngā taputapu wai kua oti te whakarite.
Kua whakamātautau ahau i ngā tātari wai Wirecutter mai i te tau 2016. I roto i taku pūrongo, i kōrero taipitopito ahau ki ngā whakahaere tiwhikete tātari kia mārama ai ki te whakahaere i ā rātou whakamātautau, ā, i ruku hohonu ki roto i ā rātou pātengi raraunga tūmatanui kia tino tautokona ngā kereme a ngā kaihanga e: Ngā whakamātautau whaimana. I kōrero anō ahau ki ngā māngai o ētahi kaihanga tātari wai, tae atu ki a Aquasana/AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita me Pur, hei whakahē i ā rātou kereme. Kua whakamātau ahau i ā mātou kōwhiringa katoa nā te mea he mea tino nui te pono, te roa, me te whakamahinga whānui mō tētahi taputapu e whakamahia ana i ngā wā maha i te rā.
Nā te kaipūtaiao NOAA o mua, nā John Holecek, i rangahau, i tuhi hoki i te pukapuka tuatahi mō te tātari wai Wirecutter, i whakahaere i āna ake whakamātautau, i tono i ētahi atu whakamātautau motuhake, ā, i ako mai hoki i te nuinga o aku mōhiotanga. I ahu mai aku mahi i āna mahi.
Engari, kāore he whakautu whānui mō te pātai mehemea me whai tātari wai koe, kāore rānei. I te Hononga o Amerika, ko ngā puna wai tūmatanui e whakahaeretia ana e te Tari Tiaki Taiao o Amerika i raro i te Ture Wai Ma, ā, me tutuki i te wai e puta mai ana i ngā tipu maimoatanga wai tūmatanui ngā paerewa kounga tino pakari. Engari kāore i te whakahaeretia ngā poke katoa. Hei tāpiri, ka taea e ngā poke te tomo ki te wai i muri i tana putanga mai i te tipu maimoatanga, mā roto i ngā paipa e turuturu ana (PDF) mā te turuturu mai rānei i ngā paipa. Mā te maimoatanga wai e mahia ana (e kore rānei e arohia) i te tipu ka nui ake te turuturu i roto i ngā paipa o raro, pērā i te mea i tupu i Flint, Michigan.
Hei kimi i te mea tika kei roto i te wai o tō kaiwhakarato, ka taea e koe te rapu ipurangi mō te pūrongo whakawhirinaki kaihoko kua whakaaetia e te EPA a tō kaiwhakarato ā-rohe; ki te kore, me whakarato e ngā kaiwhakarato wai tūmatanui katoa ā rātou CCR ki a koe ina tonoa. Engari nā te mea ka taea te poke i raro i te wai, ko te huarahi anake hei whakatau he aha kei roto i te wai o tō kāinga ko te utu i tētahi taiwhanga kounga wai ā-rohe hei whakamātautau.
Ko te tikanga whānui, ko te tawhito o tō whare, o tō rohe rānei, ka nui ake te tūponotanga o te poke o te awaawa o raro. E ai ki te pūrongo a te Environmental Protection Agency "ko ngā whare i hangaia i mua i te tau 1986 he nui ake te tūponotanga he paipa mata, he taputapu me te tūhono" - he mea tawhito, he mea noa i mua, kāore e tutuki i ngā ture o nāianei. Ka piki ake hoki te tūponotanga o te poke o te wai whenua tawhito e ngā ahumahi kua whakahaeretia i mua, ka tūpono pea he tūponotanga, inā koa ka honoa ki te pirau o ngā paipa o raro whenua e pā ana ki te koroheketanga.
Mena e whakamahia ana e tō whānau neke atu i te rua ki te toru karani wai inu ia rā, he pai ake pea te whakamahi i te tātari wai i raro i te totohu i te tātari ipu. Ka tukuna e ngā pūnaha i raro i te totohu te wai inu kua tātarihia i te wā e hiahiatia ana, ā, kāore e hiahiatia te tatari kia oti te tukanga tātari pērā i te ipu. Ko te tikanga hoki o te tātari i runga i te tono ka taea e te pūnaha i raro i te totohu te whakarato i te wai e ranea ana mō te tunu kai—hei tauira, ka taea e koe te whakakī i te kohua ki te wai kua tātarihia hei tunu rimurapa, engari kāore koe e hiahia ki te whakakī anō i te ipu mō taua kaupapa.
Ki te whakatauritea ki ngā tātari ipu, he nui ake te kaha me te roa o te ora o ngā tātari i raro i te totohu—he maha rau karani me te ono marama, neke atu rānei, ki te whakatauritea ki te rahi 40-karani o te nuinga o ngā tātari ipu me te rua marama. Nā te mea ka whakamahia e ngā tātari i raro i te totohu te pēhanga wai kaua ki te kaha ā-papa hei pana i te wai mā roto i te tātari, ka nui ake te matotoru o ā rātou tātari, ā, ka tangohia he whānuitanga o ngā poke pea.
Ko te ngoikoretanga, he nui ake te utu i te tīmatanga i ngā tātari ipu, ā, he nui ake hoki te utu mō ngā tātari whakakapinga i roto i ngā wā katoa, ā, i te toharite hoki. Ka nohoia hoki e te pūnaha te wāhi i raro i te totohu, he wāhi e taea ana te whakamahi mō te rokiroki.
Ko te tāuta i tētahi tātari i raro i te totohu me whai pūnaha wai me ngā taputapu taketake, engari he māmā noa iho te mahi mēnā kua whai wāhi tō totohu mō tētahi taputapu motuhake. Ki te kore, me tango e koe tētahi o ngā wāhi taputapu kua hangaia (te kōpae kua ara ake i runga i te totohu maitai, te tohu rānei i runga i te totohu kōhatu hangai). Ki te kore he kōhao pakaru, me keri koe i tētahi kōhao ki roto i te totohu, i te papa kaunta rānei mēnā kei raro te wāhi o tō totohu. Mēnā he ipu hopi, he pūwero ringa rānei kei runga i tō totohu, ka taea e koe te tango atu ka tāuta i tētahi taputapu. (Kaua e tāuta te taputapu ki te wāhi he āputa hau – hei ārai i te wai horoi paru kei uru ki roto i te mīhini horoi rihi.)
Tata ki te haurua o ngā wai paipa katoa kei roto ngā matū pumau. Anei me pēhea te whakatau mēnā kei roto koe i te mōrearea me te whakawhāiti i tō pānga.
E pā ana tēnei aratohu ki tētahi momo tātari i raro i te totohu: arā, ko ērā e whakamahi ana i te tātari kātere. He iti noa te wāhi e pau ana i a rātou, ā, he ngāwari te tāuta me te tiaki. E whakamahi ana i ngā rauemi mimiti (ko te nuinga he waro whakahohe me ngā kapia whakawhiti katote pērā i ngā tātari ipu) hei here me te whakakore i ngā poke. Ko te nuinga ka whakairihia ki tētahi taputapu motuhake (kei roto), ko te tikanga me whai kōhao whakairi koe i te papa kaute; Ka mahi te kōhao i hangaia mō te ngongo rehu, ka taea rānei e koe te keri i tētahi kōhao hou. Kāore mātou e kōrero ana mō ngā tātari whakairi-taputapu, ngā pūnaha osmosis whakamuri, ētahi atu ipu wai, taputapu tohatoha rānei.
Hei whakarite kia tūtohu noa mātou i ngā tātari ka taea e koe te whakawhirinaki, ka tohe tonu mātou kia whai tiwhikete ā mātou whiringa ki te paerewa ahumahi: ANSI/NSF. Ko te American National Standards Institute me te NSF International he whakahaere tūmataiti, kore-moni e mahi tahi ana me te Environmental Protection Agency, te ahumahi me ētahi atu tohunga ki te whakawhanake i ngā paerewa kounga pakari me ngā tikanga whakamātautau mō ngā mano tini o ngā hua, tae atu ki ngā tātari wai. Ko ngā taiwhanga tiwhikete tātari wai matua e rua ko te NSF International tonu me te Water Quality Association (WQA). E rua ngā hua kua whakamanahia katoatia e te ANSI me te Canadian Standards Council i Amerika Te Raki mō te whakamātautau tiwhikete ANSI/NSF, ā, me piri rāua ki ngā paerewa me ngā tikanga whakamātautau kotahi. I muri i te whakamahinga o ngā tauira "whakamātautau" kua whakaritea, he nui ake te poke i te nuinga o te wai puna, ka roa ake te tātari i tua atu i te roanga o te wā e tumanakohia ana, ā, ka tutuki i ngā paerewa tiwhikete.
I roto i tēnei aratohu, ka arotahi mātou ki ngā tātari kua whakamanahia mō te haukini, te mata, me ngā matū waro pūngāwerewere (VOC).
He mea nui te tiwhikete hauota nā te mea ko te hauota tetahi o ngā take e puta ai te "kakara kino" i roto i te wai puna. Engari he mea nui tēnei: ​​tata ki ngā momo tātari wai katoa kua tiwhiketehia.
He uaua te whiwhi tiwhikete arataki nā te mea ko te tikanga ka whakaitihia ngā otinga whai arataki mā te neke atu i te 99%.
He wero anō hoki te tiwhikete VOC nā te mea ka taea e te tātari te tango atu i te 50 ngā matū waro, tae atu ki ngā matū koiora me ngā matū ahumahi. Kāore i te katoa o ngā tātari i raro i te totohu he tiwhikete e rua, nō reira mā te arotahi ki ngā tātari me ngā tiwhikete e rua, kua kitea e mātou ngā tātari he pai ake te mahi.
I whakawhāitihia ake e mātou tā mātou rapunga, ā, i tīpakohia ngā tātari me ngā tiwhikete tāpiri ki te paerewa ANSI/NSF 401 hou, e kapi ana i ngā poke e puta ake ana e kitea ana i roto i te wai i te United States, pērā i ngā rongoā. Waihoki, kāore ngā tātari katoa i te whai tiwhikete 401. Nō reira, ko ngā whare kua whai tiwhikete 401 (me te mata me te VOC) kei roto i tētahi rōpū kua tino tīpakohia.
Kātahi, i roto i tēnei wāhanga iti, ka rapu mātou i ngā hua he iti rawa te kaha o te 500 karani. E rite ana tēnei ki te ono marama o te roa o te ora o te tātari i raro i te whakamahinga nui (2.75 karani ia rā). He rawaka tēnei wai tātari mō te nuinga o ngā whare mō te inu me te tunu kai o ia rā. (Ka whakaratohia e ngā kaihanga ngā wātaka whakakapinga tātari kua tūtohutia, i roto i ngā marama kaua i ngā karani; ka whai mātou i ēnei taunakitanga i roto i ā mātou whakatau tata me ngā tātaitanga utu. Ka tūtohu mātou kia whakamahia tonutia ngā wāhanga whakakapinga taketake a te kaihanga hei utu mō ngā tātari tuatoru.)
I te mutunga, i paunatia e mātou te utu tīmatanga o te pūnaha katoa ki te utu tonu mō te whakakapi i ngā tātari. Kāore anō mātou kia whakatakoto i tētahi utu papa, tuanui rānei, engari kua whakaatuhia e tā mātou rangahau ahakoa i waenga i ngā utu tīmatanga mai i te $100 ki te $1,250 me ngā utu tātari mai i te $60 ki te tata ki te $300, kāore ēnei rerekētanga i puta he mahi tino pai ake. He tauira utu nui ake. Kua kitea e mātou ētahi tātari i raro i te totohu he iti iho i te $200 te utu engari he tino pai tonu ngā tiwhikete me te pakari. Koinei ngā tāngata i uru ki ā mātou whiringa toa. I roto i ētahi atu mea e rapuhia ana e mātou:
I a mātou e rangahau ana, i ētahi wā ka tae mai ngā pūrongo mō ngā turuturu kino mai i ngā rangatira o ngā tātari wai kei raro i te totohu. Nā te mea kua honoa te tātari ki te puna wai matao, ki te pakaru te hononga, te ngongo rānei, ka turuturu pea te wai kia kati rā anō te takirere kati, nō reira ka roa pea ngā hāora, ngā rā rānei ka kitea te raruraru, ka puta he pānga kino ki a koe. Te kino o te wai. Ehara i te mea noa, engari ina whakaaro koe ki te hoko i tētahi tātari kei raro i te totohu, me paunatia e koe ngā mōrearea. Mena i hokona e koe tētahi, me whai i ngā tohutohu tāutanga me te āta tupato kia kaua e hē te huri i ngā hononga, kātahi ka tahuri mārire te wai kia tirohia ai ngā turuturu. Hei whakamarie i te hinengaro (kia ea ai ō raruraru paipa katoa, kaua ko te tātari kei raro i te totohu anake), whakaarohia te tāuta i tētahi taputapu kite turuturu atamai.
I te tīmatanga, he rite tonu te momo tātari kātere o ngā tātari osmosis whakamuri (R/O) ki tā mātou i whiriwhiri ai i konei, engari ka tāpirihia he tikanga tātari osmosis whakamuri tuarua: he kiriuhi paihere e taea ai e te wai te haere engari e tātari ana i ngā kohuke rewa me ētahi atu matū.
Tērā pea ka kōrerohia ngā tātari R/O mō ētahi atu taipitopito i roto i tētahi akoranga ā muri ake nei. I konei ka tino whakahēngia e mātou. He iti noa iho ngā painga mahi a ēnei tātari i ngā tātari mimiti; he nui ngā wai para e whakaputaina ana e rātou (ko te tikanga he 4 karani wai "horoi" para mō ia karani kua tātarihia), engari kāore ngā tātari mimiti e whakaputa wai para; he nui ake te wāhi e nohoia ana e rātou nā te mea, he rerekē ki ngā tātari mimiti, ka whakamahia e rātou he tāke 1, 2 karani rānei hei penapena wai kua tātarihia; ā, he puhoi ake tā rātou mahi i ngā tātari mimiti kei raro i te totohu.
Kua roa mātou e whakamātautau ana i ngā tātari wai i roto i ngā taiwhanga, ā, ko te mea nui i puta mai i ā mātou whakamātautau ko te tohu pono o te mahi a te tātari ko te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF. Kāore tēnei i te miharo i te kaha rawa o ngā whakamātautau tiwhikete. Mai i taua wā, kua whakawhirinaki mātou ki te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF hei whiriwhiri i ngā kaiwhakataetae, kaua ki tā mātou ake whakamātautau iti.
I te tau 2018, i whakamātauria e mātou te pūnaha tātari wai rongonui o Big Berkey, kāore i te whai tiwhikete ANSI/NSF engari e kī ana kua whakamātauhia kia tutuki ai ngā paerewa ANSI/NSF. Nā tēnei wheako i whakakaha ake ai tō mātou whakapau kaha ki te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pono me tō mātou kore whakapono ki ngā kereme "ANSI/NSF Verified".
Mai i taua wā, tae atu ki te tau 2019, kua arotahi ā mātou whakamātautau ki te whakamahinga o te ao tūturu me ngā āhuatanga mahi me ngā ngoikoretanga e kitea ana i a koe e whakamahi ana i ngā hua.
I whiriwhiria e mātou a Aquasana AQ-5200, e mōhiotia ana ko Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Ko tōna āhuatanga nui rawa atu ko te mea kei roto i ana tātari ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pai rawa atu i roto i ō mātou kaiwhakataetae mō te chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, VOCs, ngā "parahanga e puta ake ana," ngā kirihou moroiti, me te PFOA me te PFOS. Hei tāpiri, he mea hanga ngā taputapu me ngā taputapu mai i te konganuku pakari, he pai ake i te kirihou e whakamahia ana e ētahi atu kaihanga. Hei tāpiri, he tino kiato te pūnaha. Hei whakamutunga, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 tētahi o ngā kōwhiringa pai rawa atu kua kitea e mātou mō ngā tātari i raro i te totohu, me te pūnaha katoa (tātari, whare, taputapu, me ngā taputapu) he $140 te utu i mua, he $60 rānei te utu mō te whakakapinga tātari. He iti iho tēnei i te maha o ngā kaiwhakataetae he ngoikore ake ngā tiwhikete.
Tiwhikete ANSI/NSF (PDF) mō te AQ-5200 Kei roto ko te chlorine, e whakamahia ana hei patu i ngā mate urutā i roto i ngā puna wai ā-tāone, ā, koinei te tino take o te "kakara kino" i roto i te wai tap; te mata, ka taea te mimiti mai i ngā paipa tawhito me te whakarewa paipa. ; te mercury; Ko ngā Cryptosporidium me Giardia ora, e rua ngā mate urutā pea; Ko te Chloramine he patu huakita chlorine-ammonia pumau e whakamahia nuitia ana i roto i ngā tipu tātari i te tonga o te Hononga o Amerika. Ka tere te pirau o te chlorine parakore i roto i te wai mahana. Kua whakamanahia hoki a AQ-5200 ki te 15 "ngā poke e puta ake ana" e puta nuitia ana i roto i ngā puna wai, tae atu ki te BPA, te ibuprofen me te estrone (he estrogen e whakamahia ana i roto i te whakahaere whānau), ngā kirihou moroiti, tae atu ki te PFOA me te PFOS, ngā matū ahumahi e ahu mai ana i te fluoride. he mea kitea whānuitia i roto i te wai tap o US. Kua whakamanahia hoki e te VOC. Ko te tikanga ka taea e ia te tango pai i te neke atu i te 50 ngā matū rauropi rerekē, tae atu ki te maha o ngā patu pepeke me ngā matū ahumahi.
Haunga te waro whakahohe me te kapia whakawhiti katote (e whakamahia ana i roto i te nuinga, ki te kore katoa, o ngā tātari i raro i te totohu), e rua atu ngā hangarau tātari e whakamahia ana e Aquasana hei whakatutuki i te tiwhikete. Mō ngā chloramines, ka tāpirihia te waro whakatere, arā, te waro whakahohe, he porous, nō reira he nui ake te tauhohenga, ka hangaia mā te rongoā i te waro ki te hau pāmahana teitei. Mō ngā cryptosporidium me ngā giardia, ka hangaia e Aquasana ngā tātari he iti ake ngā pore ki te 0.5 microns, he iti rawa hei hopu ā-tinana i a rātou.
Ko te whakamanatanga o te tātari Aquasana AQ-5200 te take matua i whiriwhiria ai e mātou. Engari ko tōna hoahoa me ngā rauemi anō hoki i wehewehe i a ia i ētahi atu. He mea hanga te taputapu ki te konganuku totoka, me te wahi-T e hono ana i te tātari ki te paipa. Ka whakamahia e ētahi kaiwhakataetae he kirihou mō tētahi, mō ngā mea e rua rānei, ka whakaiti i ngā utu engari ka piki ake te tūponotanga o te whakawhiti pātene me te tāutanga hē. Ka whakamahia e te AQ-5200 ngā hononga kōpeketanga hei hanga i tētahi hiri piripono, haumaru hoki i waenganui i te paipa me te ngongo kirihou e kawe ana i te wai ki te tātari me te taputapu. Ka whakamahia e ētahi kaiwhakataetae ngā hononga ngāwari, kāore i te tino pono. E toru ngā whakaotinga o te taputapu AQ-5200 (nikara paraihe, konukōre oro me te parahi paraihe hinu), engari kāore he kōwhiringa a ētahi kaiwhakataetae.
E pai ana hoki ki a mātou te āhua kiato o te pūnaha AQ-5200. E rua ngā tātari e whakamahia ana, he nui ake i te kēne houra; ko ētahi atu tātari, tae atu ki te Aquasana AQ-5300+ i raro nei, he mea hanga mō ngā pounamu rita. Mā te tātari e mau ana ki te whāriki whakairi, e 9 inihi te teitei o te AQ-5200, e 8 inihi te whānui, ā, e 4 inihi te hohonu; ko te Aquasana AQ-5300+ e 13 x 12 x 4 inihi te rahi. Ko te tikanga he iti ake te wāhi o raro i te kāpata totohu e nohoia ana e te AQ-5200, ā, ka taea te tāuta ki ngā wāhi kuiti kāore e taea te tāuta i ngā pūnaha nui ake, ka waiho he wāhi rokiroki nui ake i raro i te totohu. Me hiahia koe ki te 11 inihi o te wāhi poutū (i inehia mai i te tihi o te kāpata ki raro) hei whakakapi i te tātari me te 9 inihi o te wāhi whakapae kore utu i ngā pakitara o te kāpata hei tāuta i te kāpata.
He tino pai ngā arotakenga mō te AQ-5200 hei tātari wai, e 4.5 ngā whetū i roto i te 5 o roto i te 800 arotakenga i runga i te paetukutuku Aquasana, me te 4.5 ngā whetū i roto i te tata ki te 500 arotakenga i Home Depot.
