I roto i tētahi rangahau hou nā te Water Quality Association, i kitea e 30 ōrau o ngā kaihoko wai kāinga i āwangawanga mō te kounga o te wai e rere ana mai i ā rātou puna. Tērā pea ka āwhina tēnei ki te whakamārama he aha i whakapau moni ai ngā kaihoko o Amerika neke atu i te $16 piriona ki te wai pounamu i te tau kua hipa, me te take hoki e piki haere tonu ai te mākete horoi wai, ā, e matapaetia ana ka puta he $45.3 piriona i te tau 2022 i te mea e whai ana ngā kamupene i roto i te ao ki te whakatutuki i te hiahia o ngā kaihoko.

Heoi, ehara i te mea ko te āwangawanga mō te kounga o te wai anake te take o te tipu o tēnei mākete. I te ao whānui, e rima ngā ia o ngā whanaketanga nui kua kitea e mātou, ā, e whakapono ana mātou ka whai wāhi katoa ēnei ki te whanaketanga me te whānui tonu o te mākete.
1. Ngā Kōtaha Hua Hiroki
I Āhia katoa, ko te pikinga o ngā utu whare me te tipu haere o te hekenga mai i ngā tāone ki ngā tāone iti iho te take e akiaki ana i te tangata ki te noho ki ngā wāhi iti ake. Nā te iti o te wāhi kaute me te wāhi rokiroki mō ngā taputapu, kei te rapu ngā kaihoko i ngā hua e kore e penapena wāhi anake engari ka āwhina hoki ki te whakakore i ngā mea e kore e pai. Kei te aro atu te mākete horoi wai ki tēnei ia mā te whakawhanake i ngā hua iti ake me ngā kōtaha angiangi ake. Hei tauira, kua whakawhanakehia e Coway te raina hua MyHANDSPAN, kei roto ko ngā horoi kāore e whānui ake i te whānuitanga o tō ringaringa. I te mea ka taea te kī he mea papai te wāhi kaute tāpiri, he tika kia whakawhanakehia e Bosch Thermotechnology ngā horoi wai noho o te raupapa Bosch AQ, he mea hanga kia uru ki raro i te kaute me te kore e kitea.

Kāore pea e nui haere ngā whare noho i Āhia i roto i ngā wā e tata mai nei, nō reira i tēnei wā, me whawhai tonu ngā kaiwhakahaere hua mō te nui ake o te wāhi i roto i ngā kīhini a ngā kaihoko mā te hoahoa i ngā mīhini horoi wai iti ake, angiangi ake.
2. Te Whakahoutanga o ngā Kohuke mō te Reka me te Hauora
Kua piki haere te rongonui o te wai kawakore me te wai pH-taurite i roto i te umanga wai pounamu, ā, i nāianei, e hiahia ana ngā kaihanga wai ki tētahi wāhanga o te mākete mā rātou anō. Ko te mea e whakapakari ana i tā rātou kaupapa ko te pikinga ake o te hiahia mō ngā hua me ngā taonga i roto i te ao oranga, e titiro ana ngā waitohu puta noa i te umanga Taonga Tākai Kaihoko (CPG) ki te whakamahi i te $30 piriona e whakapaua ana e ngā Amerikana ki ngā "huarahi hauora tāpiri." Kotahi te kamupene, ko Mitte®, e hoko ana i tētahi pūnaha wai kāinga atamai e neke atu ana i te purenga mā te whakarei ake i te wai mā te whakahou i ngā kohuke. Ko tōna āhuatanga hokohoko ahurei? Ehara i te mea he parakore noa te wai a Mitte, engari he hauora hoki.

Heoi anō, ehara i te mea ko te hauora anake te mea e akiaki ana i te ia o te whakahounga o ngā kohuke. He kaupapa tautohetohe nui te reka o te wai, inā koa ko te wai pounamu, ā, e kiia ana ko ngā kohuke iti he wāhanga nui o te reka. Inaa, mā te hangarau konupora patent a BWT, ka tukuna te konupora ki roto i te wai i te wā tātari kia pai ake ai te reka. Ehara i te mea ko te wai inu parakore anake tēnei engari ka āwhina i te whakapai ake i te reka o ētahi atu inu pēnei i te kawhe, te espresso me te tī.
3. Te Hiahia e Piki Ake Ana mō te Patupatu
E tata ana ki te 2.1 piriona tāngata huri noa i te ao kāore e uru atu ki te wai haumaru, ā, e 289 miriona o rātou e noho ana i Āhia-Kiwa. He maha ngā puna wai i Āhia kua poke i ngā para ahumahi me ngā para tāone, ko te tikanga he tino teitei te tūponotanga o te tūtaki ki ngā huakita E. coli me ētahi atu huaketo wai. Nō reira, me mau tonu te whakaaro o ngā kaiwhakarato horoi wai ki te patu i te wai, ā, kei te kite tātou i ngā whakatauranga horoi e rerekē ana i te akomanga NSF A/B, ā, ka neke ki ngā whakatauranga kua whakahoutia pērā i te 3-log E. coli. Ka whakaratohia e tēnei he tiaki tonu e whakaaetia ana mō ngā pūnaha wai inu, engari ka taea te whakatutuki i te utu pai ake me te rahi iti ake i ngā taumata patu i ngā taumata teitei ake.
4. Te Pūrongo Kounga Wai Wā-tūturu
Ko te tātari wai hono tētahi ia o ngā mahi e puta ake ana i roto i te horapa haere o ngā taputapu kāinga atamai. Mā te whakarato raraunga tonu ki ngā papaaho taupānga, ka taea e ngā tātari wai hono te mahi i te whānuitanga o ngā mahi mai i te aroturuki i te kounga o te wai ki te whakaatu i te wai e inumia ana e ngā kaihoko i ia rā. Ka haere tonu te atamai ake o ēnei taputapu, ā, ka taea te whakawhānui atu i ngā wāhi noho ki ngā wāhi tāone. Hei tauira, ko te whai pūoko puta noa i te pūnaha wai tāone, ehara i te mea ka taea anake te whakatūpato i ngā āpiha mō tētahi poke, engari ka taea hoki te aroturuki tika ake i ngā taumata wai, me te whakarite kia uru atu ngā hapori katoa ki te wai haumaru.
5. Kia kanapa tonu
Ki te mea kāore anō kia rongo koe mō LaCroix, tera pea kei raro koe i te toka. Ā, ko te rongonui o te waitohu, e kiia nei e ētahi he karakia, kei te rapu painga ētahi atu waitohu pērā i a PepsiCo. I a rātou e whakamahi tonu ana i ngā au o te mākete wai pounamu, kua peti hoki ngā kaiwhakapai wai ki te wai mura. Ko tētahi tauira ko te kaiwhakapai wai mura a Coway. Kua whakaatu ngā kaihoko i tō rātou hiahia ki te utu mō te wai kounga teitei ake, ā, kei te rapu ngā kaiwhakapai wai ki te whakataurite i taua hiahia ki ngā hua hou e whakarite ana i te kounga o te wai me te hangai ki ngā hiahia o te kaihoko.
E rima noa iho ēnei ngā au e kitea ana e tātou i te mākete i tēnei wā, engari i te haere tonu o te ao ki te noho ora me te piki haere o te hiahia mō te wai inu parakore, ka tipu anō hoki te mākete mō ngā taputapu horoi wai, me te kawe mai i ngā momo au hou ka tino tirohia tonutia e tātou.
