Ka tautoko a Wirecutter i ngā kaipānui. Ina hoko koe i tētahi mea mā te hononga i runga i tā mātou paetukutuku, ka whiwhi pea mātou i tētahi komihana hononga. ako atu
I whiriwhiria hoki e mātou te Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect hei kōwhiringa pai - he ngāwari ki te tāuta, ā, ka taea te whakarato i te rere nui o te wai ki ngā taputapu o nāianei.
Mēnā he nui ake i te torutoru karani wai inu e inu ana i te rā, ka pai pea ki te whakamahi i tētahi pūnaha tātari i raro i te tāke pērā i a Aquasana AQ-5200. Mēnā he pai ki a koe (he hiahia rānei koe) ki te wai tātari, ka taea te tuku tonu mai i tētahi pūwero motuhake ina hiahiatia. Ka tūtohu mātou i a Aquasana AQ-5200 nā te mea ko tana tiwhikete te mea pai rawa atu o ngā pūnaha katoa kua kitea e mātou.
Kua whiwhi a Aquasana AQ-5200 i te tiwhikete tino nui mō te parahanga, he whānui te wātea, he utu whaitake, ā, he hanganga kiato. Koinei te pūnaha tātari wai tuatahi i raro i te tāke e rapuhia ana e mātou.
Kua paahitia e Aquasana AQ-5200 te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF, ā, ka taea e ia te whakakore i te tata ki te 77 ngā poke rerekē, tae atu ki te mata, te mercury, ngā matū waro pūngāwerewere, ngā rongoā, me ētahi atu rauemi e kore e hopukina e ngā kaiwhakataetae. Ko tētahi o ngā tātari ruarua kua whakamanahia mō te PFOA me te PFOS. Kei roto ēnei matū i te hanga rauemi kore-piri, ā, i whiwhi i te tohutohu hauora a te EPA i te Hui-tanguru 2019.
Ko te utu mō te whakakapi i tētahi huinga tātari he tata ki te US$60, arā, ko te wā whakakapinga e ono marama i tūtohutia e Aquasana he US$120 ia tau. Heoi anō, he nui ake te pūnaha i ētahi kēne houra iti, ā, kāore e nui te wāhi e nohoia ana i raro i te totohu. He taputapu whakarewa kounga teitei te whakamahi i tēnei pūnaha e whakamahia whānuitia ana, ā, he maha ngā momo whakaotinga o ōna taputapu.
He rite tonu te AO Smith AO-US-200 ki te Aquasana AQ-5200 ina tirohia te tiwhikete, ngā whakaritenga me ngā rahi. He mea motuhake tēnei ki a Lowe's, nō reira kāore i te tino whānui te wātea.
He ōrite 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 te tiwhikete pai, ngā taputapu whakarewa katoa, me te āhua kiato, engari nā te mea ka hokona anake i Lowe's, kāore i te whānui te whānuitanga o ngā hoko, ā, kotahi anake te whakaotinga o tana taputapu: te nikara paraihe. Mena he pai tēnei ki tō momo, ka tūtohu mātou kia hokohoko i waenga i ngā tauira e rua i te utu: he maha ngā wā ka heke te utu mō tētahi, mō tētahi rānei. He rite tonu ngā utu whakakapinga tātari: tata ki te $60 mō te huinga, $120 rānei ia tau mō te huringa ono marama i tūtohutia e AO Smith.
He rite tonu te tiwhikete pai o AQ-5300+, engari he nui ake te tere rere me te kaha tātari, he pai mō ngā whare he nui te wai e whakamahia ana, engari he nui ake te utu, ā, he nui ake te wāhi e pau ana i raro i te totohu.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF e 77 mō te rere mōrahi o Aquasana AQ-5300+ ki ā mātou hua pai kē atu, engari he nui ake te rere (0.72 me te 0.5 karani ia meneti) me te kaha tātari (800 me te 500 karani). Nā tēnei ka waiho hei whiringa tuatahi mā ngā whānau e hiahia ana ki te nui o te wai tātari, ā, e hiahia ana ki te whakamahi wawe tonu. Ka tāpirihia hoki he tātari-mua parapara, kāore e wātea ana i roto i te AQ-5200; mā tēnei pea ka roa ake te rere o te tātari parahanga i roto i ngā whare he nui te wai parapara. Arā, he nui ake te tauira AQ-5300+ (he tātari pounamu toru-rita) i te AQ-5200 me te AO Smith AO-US-200, engari he rite tonu te roa o te ora o te tātari e taunakitia ana, e ono marama. Ā, he nui ake te utu o mua me te utu mō te whakakapi i te tātari (tata ki te 80 tāra US mō te huinga, 160 tāra US rānei ia tau). Nō reira, paunatia ōna painga me ngā utu teitei ake.
Ka taea te tāuta i te Claryum Direct Connect me te kore e keri, ā, ka tukuna atu ki te 1.5 karani wai kua tātarihia ia meneti mā tō pūwero o nāianei.
Ka hono tika te Claryum Direct Connect a Aquasana ki tō pūwero o nāianei, ā, he kōwhiringa tino ātaahua mō ngā kairihi (tērā pea ka āraia rātou ki te huri i tō rātou wāhi) me te hunga kāore e taea te tāuta i tētahi pūwero tātari motuhake. Kāore e hiahiatia kia tāutahia ki te pakitara o te kāpata totohu - ka taea noa te whakatakoto ki tōna taha. Kei a ia ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF e 77 rite tonu ki ā mātou kōwhiringa Aquasana me AO Smith kē atu, ā, ka taea te whakarato ki te 1.5 karani wai tātari ia meneti, he nui ake i ētahi atu hua. Ko te kaha kua whakatauhia o te tātari he 784 karani, arā, tata ki te ono marama o te whakamahinga. Engari kāore he tātari-mua parapara, nō reira, ki te mea he raruraru parapara āu, ehara i te kōwhiringa pai nā te mea ka purua. Ā, he tino nui - 20½ x 4½ inihi - nō reira, ki te mea he iti, he kīkī rānei tō kāpata totohu, kāore pea e tika.
Kua whiwhi a Aquasana AQ-5200 i te tiwhikete tino nui mō te parahanga, he whānui te wātea, he utu whaitake, ā, he hanganga kiato. Koinei te pūnaha tātari wai tuatahi i raro i te tāke e rapuhia ana e mātou.
He rite tonu te AO Smith AO-US-200 ki te Aquasana AQ-5200 ina tirohia te tiwhikete, ngā whakaritenga me ngā rahi. He mea motuhake tēnei ki a Lowe's, nō reira kāore i te tino whānui te wātea.
He rite tonu te tiwhikete pai o AQ-5300+, engari he nui ake te tere rere me te kaha tātari, he pai mō ngā whare he nui te wai e whakamahia ana, engari he nui ake te utu, ā, he nui ake te wāhi e pau ana i raro i te totohu.
Ka taea te tāuta i te Claryum Direct Connect me te kore e keri, ā, ka tukuna atu ki te 1.5 karani wai kua tātarihia ia meneti mā tō pūwero o nāianei.
Kua whakamātautau ahau i ngā tātari wai mō Wirecutter mai i te tau 2016. I roto i taku pūrongo, i kōrero taipitopito ahau ki te whakahaere tiwhikete tātari kia mārama ai ahau ki te whakahaerenga o ā rātou whakamātautau, ā, i ruku hohonu ahau ki roto i tā rātou pātengi raraunga tūmatanui kia whakaū ai i te tautokona o te kōrero a te kaihanga mō te whakamātautau tiwhikete. I kōrero anō ahau ki ngā māngai o ētahi kaihanga tātari wai, tae atu ki a Aquasana/AO Smith, Filtrete, Brita, me Pur, kia pātai atu ai ki a rātou he aha tā rātou i kī ai. Ā, kua wheako ahau i ā mātou kōwhiringa katoa, nā te mea he mea tino nui te noho ora, te pakari me te ngāwari ki te whakamahi mō ngā taputapu e whakamahia ana e koe i ngā wā maha i te rā. I rangahau, i tuhi hoki te kaipūtaiao NOAA o mua, a John Holecek, i tētahi aratohu tātari wai Wirecutter o mua, i whakahaere i āna ake whakamātautau, i tono i ētahi atu whakamātautau motuhake, ā, i ako mai i te nuinga o aku mōhiotanga. Kei runga i tana turanga taku mahi.
Engari, kāore he whakautu ōrite mō te hiahia ki tētahi tātari wai. I te Hononga o Amerika, ka whakahaeretia te tuku wai tūmatanui e te EPA i runga anō 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. Waihoki, ka taea e ngā poke te tomo ki te wai i muri i te putanga mai i te tipu maimoatanga mā te uru ki roto, ki te turuturu rānei mai i ngā paipa e turuturu ana (PDF). Mā te maimoatanga wai e mahia ana (e kore rānei e arohia) i te wheketere ka nui ake te turuturu i roto i ngā paipa o raro iho—pērā i te mea i tupu i Flint, Michigan.
Hei mārama tika ki ngā kai o roto i te wai ina wehe atu te kaiwhakarato i te wheketere, ka kitea e koe te pūrongo whakawhirinakitanga kaihoko a te EPA a te kaiwhakarato ā-rohe i runga i te Ipurangi; ki te kore, me whakarato e ngā kaiwhakarato wai tūmatanui katoa ā rātou CCR ki a koe e ai ki ō hiahia. Heoi, nā te mea ka taea te parahanga i raro i te wai, ko te huarahi anake hei whakatau i te hanganga o tō wai ko te tono i tētahi taiwhanga kounga wai ā-rohe mō te whakamātautau.
I runga i ngā wheako: ka tawhito ake tō whare, tō hapori rānei, ka nui ake te tūponotanga o te parahanga o raro i te awa. I kī te Tari Tiaki Taiao o Amerika "ko ngā whare i hangaia i mua i te tau 1986 he nui ake te tūponotanga ki te whakamahi i ngā paipa mata, ngā taputapu, me te tūhono" - he rauemi tawhito noa iho kāore i tutuki i ngā whakaritenga o nāianei. Ka whakanui ake hoki te tawhito i te tūponotanga o te parahanga o te wai whenua i mahue mai i te umanga ture o mua, he tūponotanga pea tēnei, inā koa ka honoa ki te pirau e pā ana ki te tawhito o ngā paipa o raro whenua.
Mena he nui atu i te rua ki te toru karani wai inu e inuhia ana e tō whānau i te rā, he pai ake pea te tātari i raro i te totohu i te tātari tāke. Ka whakaratohia e te pūnaha i raro i te totohu te wai inu kua tātarihia i te wā e hiahiatia ana, me te kore e tatari kia oti te tukanga tātari, pērā i te tāke wai. Ko te tikanga 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 e kore rawa koe e whakakī anō i te kohua mō tēnei.
Ki te whakatauritea ki ngā tātari totohu, he nui ake te kaha o ngā tātari totohu, ā, he roa ake te ora o te mahi - he rau karani me te ono marama, neke atu rānei, ko te nuinga o ngā tātari totohu he 40 karani me te rua marama. Nā te mea ka whakamahia e ngā tātari totohu te pēhanga wai hei utu mō te kaha ā-papa hei pana i te wai mā roto i te tātari, ka nui ake te matotoru o ā rātou tātari, nō reira ka taea e rātou te tango i te whānuitanga o ngā poke pea.
Ko te ngoikoretanga, he nui ake te utu i ngā tātari ipu, ā, he nui ake te utu mō te uara tuturu me te roa o te wā hei whakakapi i ngā tātari. Ka tangohia hoki e te pūnaha he wāhi i roto i te kāpata totohu, he wāhi rokiroki pea.
Ko te tāuta i te tātari i raro i te totohu me whai tāutanga paipa me ngā taputapu taketake, engari he māmā noa iho tēnei mahi mēnā kua whai kōhao motuhake tō totohu. Ki te kore, me patu e koe te wāhi o te taputapu kua hangaia (ka kitea te kōpae kua ara ake i runga i te totohu maitai, te tohu rānei i runga i te totohu kōhatu hangai). Mēnā kāore te kōhao patupatu, me poka e koe he kōhao ki roto i te totohu. Mēnā kua tāutahia tō totohu ki raro, me poka anō hoki e koe he kōhao ki runga i te papa kaute. Mēnā kei a koe he ipu hopi, he āputa hau i roto i te mīhini horoi rihi, he pūwero ringaringa rānei i runga i te totohu, ka taea e koe te tango atu ka tāuta ki reira.
Whai muri i te whakamātautau, kua whakakapia e mātou te tātari Pur Pitcher kua mutu te whakaputa ki te tātari Faster Pour Pitcher.
E pā ana tēnei aratohu ki tētahi momo tātari motuhake mō raro i te totohu: arā, ko ērā e whakamahi ana i te tātari kātere, ā, ka tukuna te wai kua tātarihia ki tētahi atu puna wai. Koinei ngā tātari tino rongonui mō raro i te totohu. 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 tāke wai - hei here me te whakakore i ngā poke. Kāore mātou e kōrero ana mō ngā tātari, ngā pūnaha osmosis whakamuri, ētahi atu ipu, ipu tohatoha rānei kua tāutahia ki runga i ngā puna wai.
Hei whakarite kia tūtohu noa mātou i ngā tātari pono, kua tohe tonu mātou kua paahitia e tā mātou whiringa te tiwhikete 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 EPA, ngā māngai ahumahi, me ētahi atu tohunga ki te whakatū paerewa kounga tino pakari me ngā tikanga whakamātautau mō ngā mano tini hua, tae atu ki ngā tātari wai. Ko ngā taiwhanga tiwhikete matua e rua mō ngā kaiwhakapai wai ko te NSF International tonu me te Water Quality Association (WQA). Kua whakamanahia katoatia e te ANSI me te Canadian Standards Council i Amerika Te Raki, ka taea te whakamātautau mō te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF, ā, me tutuki e rāua ngā paerewa me ngā tikanga whakamātautau ōrite. Ka taea anake e te tātari te whakatutuki i ngā paerewa tiwhikete i muri i tana neke atu i tōna roa e tumanakohia ana. Whakamahia ngā tauira "whakawero" kua whakaritea, he nui ake te poke i te nuinga o te wai puna.
I roto i tēnei aratohu, ka arotahi mātou ki ngā tātari he tiwhikete chlorine, mata, me te VOC (arā, he matū waro mimiti).
He mea nui te tiwhikete hauota (i raro i te ANSI/Paerewa 42) nā te mea ko te hauota te take matua o te wai paipa "kino". Engari he mahi tinihanga noa iho tēnei: ​​kua paahitia e te nuinga o ngā momo tātari wai tōna tiwhikete.
He uaua te whakatutuki i te 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 tautuhia e mātou ngā mea he tino pai ake te mahi.
I whakawhāitihia ake e mātou tā mātou rapunga, ā, i whiriwhiria ngā tātari i whai tiwhikete anō i raro i te Paerewa ANSI/NSF 401 hou, e kapi ana i ngā poke hou, pērā i ngā raau taero, e kitea nuitia ana i ngā wai o Amerika. Waihoki, kāore i te katoa o ngā tātari he tiwhikete 401, nō reira he rōpū tino whiriwhiri ngā tātari kei a rātou (me te tiwhikete mata me te VOC).
I roto i tēnei huinga iti, ka rapua e mātou ngā mea he iti rawa te kaha o te 500 karani. He rite tēnei ki te roa o te ora o te tātari mō te 6 marama i raro i te whakamahinga nui (2¾ karani ia rā). Mō te nuinga o ngā whānau, he nui tēnei hei whakatutuki i ngā hiahia inu me te tunu kai o ia rā. (Ka whakaratohia e te kaihanga he kaupapa whakakapinga tātari e taunakitia ana, ko te tikanga i roto i ngā marama kaua i ngā karani; ka whai mātou i ēnei taunakitanga i roto i ā mātou aromatawai me ngā tataunga utu. Ka tūtohu mātou kia whakamahia tonutia te whakakapinga a te kaihanga taketake hei utu mō te tātari tuatoru.)
Hei whakamutunga, i paunatia e mātou te utu o mua mō te pūnaha katoa me te utu tonu mō te whakakapi i te tātari. Kāore mātou i whakatakoto i tētahi rohe utu iti iho, o runga ake rānei, engari e whakaatu ana ā mātou rangahau ahakoa kei waenganui te utu o mua i te US$100 ki te US$1,250, ā, kei waenganui te utu tātari i te US$60 ki te tata ki te US$300, kāore ēnei rerekētanga i te tino pai ake. Ko te tauira utu nui ake i roto i ngā whakatakotoranga. I kitea e mātou he maha ngā momo tātari i raro i te totohu e iti iho ana i te US$200 te utu, me te whakarato i te tiwhikete pai me te roa o te ora. Ko ēnei hei whiringa whakamutunga mā mātou. Hei tāpiri, kei te rapu hoki mātou i:
I roto i te rangahau, i ētahi wā ka tūtaki mātou ki ngā pūrongo turuturu kino mai i te rangatira o te tātari wai i raro i te totohu. Nā te mea kua honoa te tātari ki te paipa whakauru wai matao mā te paipa, ki te pakaru te hononga, te ngongo rānei, ka puta te wai kia kati rā anō te takirere kati - ko te tikanga ka roa pea ngā hāora, ngā rā rānei ka kitea e koe te raruraru, ka puta he pānga kino ki a koe. He kino ki te wai. Ehara tēnei i te mea noa, engari me paunatia e koe ngā mōrearea ina whakaaro koe ki te hoko i tētahi tātari i raro i te totohu. Ki te hoko koe, me whai i ngā tohutohu tāutanga me te āta tupato kia kaua e whiti i ngā miro hononga, kātahi ka tahuri mārire te wai hei tirotiro mō ngā turuturu.
I te tīmatanga, i whakamahia e te tātari osmosis whakamuri, te tātari R/O rānei te momo tātari kātere kotahi i tīpakohia e mātou i konei, engari i tāpirihia he tikanga tātari osmosis whakamuri tuarua: he kiriuhi angiangi e āhei ai te wai kia haere engari e tātari ana i ngā kohuke rewa. Ngā matū me ētahi atu matū.
Tērā pea ka kōrerohia whānuitia ngā tātari R/O i roto i ngā aratohu a meake nei. I konei, i tino whakahēngia e mātou. Ki te whakatauritea ki ngā tātari mimiti, he iti noa ngā painga mahi e tukuna ana e rātou; he nui te wai para e puta mai ana (ko te tikanga he 4 karani wai "horoi" mō ia karani tātari), engari kāore ngā tātari mimiti e pena; he nui te wāhi e nohoia ana e rātou. He nui ake tēnei nā te mea, kāore i rite ki ngā tātari mimiti, ka whakamahia e rātou he tāke 1 karani, 2 karani rānei hei penapena wai kua tātarihia; he puhoi ake i ngā tātari mimiti i raro i te totohu.
I ngā tau kua taha ake nei, kua whakahaerehia e mātou ngā whakamātautau taiwhanga mō ngā tātari wai. Ko te whakatau matua i puta mai i ngā whakamātautau ko te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF he mehua pono mō te mahi tātari. I te mea he tino uaua te whakamātautau tiwhikete, ehara tēnei i te mea miharo. Mai i taua wā, kua whakawhirinaki mātou ki te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF, kaua ki tā mātou ake whakamātautau iti hei whiriwhiri i ō mātou hoa whakataetae.
I te tau 2018, i whakamātauria e mātou te pūnaha tātari wai rongonui o Big Berkey, kāore i whakamanahia e te ANSI/NSF, engari i kīia kua whakamātauhia whānuitia i runga anō i ngā paerewa ANSI/NSF. Nā taua wheako i whakakaha ake ai tā mātou tohe ki te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pono me tō mātou kore whakapono ki te kōrero "kua whakamātauhia e te ANSI/NSF".
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 ka kitea ina whakamahia ēnei hua.
Kua whiwhi a Aquasana AQ-5200 i te tiwhikete tino nui mō te parahanga, he whānui te wātea, he utu whaitake, ā, he hanganga kiato. Koinei te pūnaha tātari wai tuatahi i raro i te tāke e rapuhia ana e mātou.
I whiriwhiria e mātou a Aquasana AQ-5200, e mōhiotia ana ko Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Tae noa ki tēnei wā, ko tōna āhuatanga nui ko te whiwhinga o tana tātari i te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pai rawa atu i roto i ō mātou kaiwhakataetae, tae atu ki te chlorine, te chloramine, te mata, te mercury, te VOC, te maha o ngā "parahanga e puta mai ana", me te waikawa perfluorooctanoic me te waikawa Perfluorooctane sulfonic. Hei tāpiri, ko tana taputapu me te paipa he mea hanga ki te konganuku totoka, he pai ake i ngā kirihou e whakamahia ana e ētahi atu kaihanga. Ā, he tino kiato hoki tēnei pūnaha. Hei whakamutunga, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 tētahi o ngā hua tino nui i kitea e mātou i roto i te tātari i raro i te totohu. Ko te utu kua utua i mua mō te pūnaha katoa (tātari, whare, taputapu me ngā taputapu) he US$140 te nuinga, ā, e rua he US$60. Whakakapia te tātari. He iti iho tēnei i te maha o ngā kaiwhakataetae he ngoikore ake ngā tiwhikete.
Kua paahitia e Aquasana AQ-5200 te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF (PDF) ā, ka taea e ia te whakahaere i ngā poke e 77. I te taha o te Aquasana AQ-5300+ me te AO Smith AO-US-200 kua whakamanahia, ko AQ-5200 te pūnaha tiwhikete tino kaha rawa atu o tā mātou whiriwhiri. (I hokona e AO Smith a Aquasana i te tau 2016, ā, i whakamahia te nuinga o āna hangarau; kāore a AO Smith e whakamahere ki te whakakore i te raupapa Aquasana.) He rerekē, ko te Pur Pitcher Filter me te Lead Reduction pai rawa atu kua whakamanahia ki te 23.
Kei roto i ēnei tiwhikete 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" o te wai tap; te mata, ka taea te tango mai i ngā paipa tawhito me te whakarewa paipa; te mercury; ngā Cryptosporidium ora me te Giardia, e rua ngā mate urutā pea; he patu huakita chloramine pumau te chloramine, 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 paahitia hoki e Aquasana AQ-5200 te tiwhikete o te 15 "ngā poke e puta ake ana", e piki haere ana i roto i ngā pūnaha tuku wai tūmatanui, tae atu ki te bisphenol A, ibuprofen, me te estrone (he estrogen e whakamahia ana mō te ārai hapūtanga); Mō ngā matū PFOA me te PFOS-e ahu mai ana i te fluorine e whakamahia ana hei hanga i ngā matū kore-piri, ā, i whiwhi i te tohutohu hauora a te EPA i te Hui-tanguru 2019. (I te wā o te kōrerorero, e toru noa iho ngā kaihanga o tēnei momo tātari kua whiwhi i te tiwhikete PFOA/S, e tino kitea ai tēnei.) Kua paahitia hoki e ia te tiwhikete VOC. Ko te tikanga o tēnei ka taea e ia te tango tōtika i te neke atu i te 50 ngā matū rauropi rerekē, tae atu ki te maha o ngā patu pepeke me ngā matū mua ahumahi.
Haunga ngā waro whakahohe me ngā kapia whakawhiti katote (he mea noa te nuinga, ki te kore katoa, o ngā tātari i raro i te tāke), e rua atu ngā hangarau tātari e whakamahia ana e Aquasana hei whiwhi tiwhikete. Mō ngā chloramines, ka tāpirihia he waro whakatere, he momo waro whakahohe he nui ake te pūwero i hangaia mā te rongoā i te waro ki te hau pāmahana teitei. Mō Cryptosporidium me Giardia, ka hangaia e Aquasana ngā tātari mā te whakaiti i te rahi o ngā pūwero ki te 0.5 microns, he nui hei hopu ā-tinana i a rātou.
Ko te tino pai o te tiwhikete o te tātari Aquasana AQ-5200 te take matua i whiriwhiria ai e mātou. Engari ko tōna hoahoa me ngā rauemi anō hoki te mea e motuhake ai. He mea hanga te taputapu ki te konganuku totoka, me te taputapu āhua-T e hono ana i te tātari ki te paipa. Ka whakamahia e ētahi kaiwhakataetae he kirihou mō tētahi, e rua rānei o aua mea, ka whakaiti i ngā utu, engari ka piki ake te tūponotanga o te whakawhiti miro me ngā hapa tāutanga. Ka whakamahia e AQ-5200 ngā hononga kōpeketanga hei whakarite i te hiri piri me te haumaru i waenganui i tō paipa me te paipa kirihou e kawe ana i te wai ki te tātari me te taputapu; ka whakamahia e ētahi kaiwhakataetae ngā hononga pana-ki roto ngāwari, kāore i te tino haumaru. E wātea ana te taputapu AQ-5200 i roto i ngā whakaotinga e toru (nikara paraihe, konukōre oro me te parahi hinu), ā, 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 iho nei, he rite te rahi ki te pounamu rita. Whai muri i te tāutanga o te tātari ki te whāriki whakairi, ko ngā ine o te AQ-5200 he 9 inihi te teitei, 8 inihi te whānui, me te 4 inihi te hohonu; ko te Aquasana AQ-5300+ he 13 x 12 x 4 inihi. Ko te tikanga he iti ake te wāhi e nohoia ana e te AQ-5200 i roto i te kāpata totohu, ka taea te tāuta ki tētahi wāhi whaiti kāore e taea e ngā pūnaha nui ake te whakauru, ā, he nui ake te wāhi rokiroki i raro i te totohu. Me 11 inihi te wāhi poutū (i inehia mai i te tihi o te pouaka) kia taea ai te whakakapi i te tātari, me te 9 inihi te wāhi whakapae kore ārai i te pakitara kāpata hei tāuta i te pouaka.
He pai te arotakenga o te AQ-5200 mō ngā tātari wai, me te 4.5 whetū i roto i te neke atu i te 800 arotake i runga i te paetukutuku Aquasana (i roto i te rima whetū), me te 4.5 whetū i roto i te tata ki te 500 arotake i runga i te Home Depot.
Hei whakamutunga, ko te utu mō Aquasana AQ-5200 i tēnei wā tata ki te US$140 mō te pūnaha katoa (tata ki te US$100), ā, ko te utu mō te huinga tātari whakakapinga he US$60 (ko ia wā whakakapinga e ono marama he US$120 ia tau). Aquasana AQ- Ko te 5200 tētahi o ngā hua tino nui a ō mātou hoa whakataetae, he rau tāra te iti iho i ētahi tauira kāore i te tino rongonui. Kei roto i te taputapu he taima ka tīmata te tangi pī ina hiahia koe ki te huri i te tātari, engari ka tūtohu mātou kia whakatakotoria hoki e koe he whakamaumahara maramataka whakahoki ki tō waea. (Kāore pea koe e ngaro i a ia.)
Ki te whakatauritea ki ētahi atu kaiwhakataetae, he iti ake te tere rere mōrahi o te Aquasana AQ-5200 (0.5 gpm vs. 0.72, teitei ake rānei) me te iti ake o te kaha (500 karani vs. 750, teitei ake rānei). He hua tika tēnei nō te iti o te tātari. I te nuinga o te wā, e whakapono ana mātou kua ea ēnei ngoikoretanga iti e tōna kiato. Mena e mōhio ana koe e hiahia ana koe ki te rere me te kaha teitei ake, ko te rere whakatauranga o Aquasana AQ-5300+ he 0.72 gpm me te 800 karani, engari me te wātaka whakakapinga tātari e ono marama te roa, ko te tere rere o Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect he tae atu ki te 1.5 gpm, ā, ko te whakatauranga he 784 karani me te ono marama.
