Ka arotakehia motuhaketia e mātou ngā mea katoa e taunakihia ana e mātou. Tērā pea ka whiwhi mātou i tētahi komihana ina hoko koe mā roto i ā mātou hononga. Ako atu >
I whiriwhiria e mātou te Aquasana Claryum Direct Connect hei kōwhiringa pai – he ngāwari ki te tāuta, ā, he pai te rere o te wai ki ngā taputapu o nāianei.
Ko te hunga e inu ana i te neke atu i te torutoru karani wai inu i ia rā, tera pea ka tino makona ki te pūnaha tātari i raro i te totohu pērā i te Aquasana AQ-5200. Mena he pai ki a koe (he hiahia rānei koe) ki te wai tātari, ka taea te tuku tonu mai i tētahi puna motuhake ina hiahiatia. Ka tūtohu mātou i te Aquasana AQ-5200 nā te mea ko tana tiwhikete te mea pai rawa atu o ngā pūnaha katoa kua kitea e mātou.
He mea whaimana mō te nuinga o ngā poke, he whānui te wātea, he utu tika, he iti hoki, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 te pūnaha tātari wai i raro i te totohu tuatahi e rapuhia ana e mātou.
Kua whakamanahia a Aquasana AQ-5200 e ANSI/NSF hei 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 onge ana te hopu a ngā kaiwhakataetae. Ko tētahi o ngā tātari torutoru kua whakamanahia e te PFOA me te PFOS, arā, ngā matū e uru ana ki te hanga rauemi korepiri, i whiwhi i te tohutohu hauora a te EPA i te Hui-tanguru 2019.
Ko te utu mō tētahi huinga tātari whakakapinga he $60 pea, arā, $120 ia tau i runga i te huringa whakakapinga e ono marama te roa kua tūtohutia e Aquasana. Waihoki, 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 whakaarohia ngā tiwhikete, ngā whakaritenga me ngā rahi, ā, nō Lowe's anake i hangaia ai, nō reira kāore i te tino whānui te wātea.
He rite tonu te AO Smith AO-US-200 ki te Aquasana AQ-5200 i ngā āhuatanga katoa. (Nā te mea i hokona e AO Smith a Aquasana i te tau 2016.) He rite tonu te tiwhikete utu nui, he taputapu whakarewa katoa, he āhua kiato hoki, engari kāore i te tino whānuitia nā te mea ka hokona anake i Lowe's, ā, kotahi anake te otinga o tana taputapu. Mena he pai ki a koe te momo, ka tūtohu mātou kia hokohoko koe i waenga i ngā tauira e rua mā 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 ngā tiwhikete pai o te AQ-5300+ engari he nui ake te rere me te kaha tātari mō ngā kāinga e whakamahi ana i te nui o te wai, engari he nui ake te utu, ā, he nui ake te wāhi e nohoia ana i raro i te totohu.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF e 77 o te Aquasana AQ-5300+ Max Flow ki ā mātou whiringa pai kē atu, engari he nui ake te rere (0.72 vs. 0.5 karani ia meneti) me te kaha tātari (800 vs. 500 karani). Nā tēnei ka waiho hei kōwhiringa mā ngā whare e hiahia ana ki te nui o te wai tātari, ā, e hiahia ana kia tere te tiki. Ka tāpirihia hoki he tātari-mua parapara, kāore i te AQ-5200. Tērā pea ka roa ake te rere o ngā tātari parahanga i roto i ngā whare he nui te wai parapara. Heoi anō, he nui ake te tauira AQ-5300+ (me te tātari pounamu 3-rita) i te AQ-5200 me te AO Smith AO-US-200, engari he rite tonu te roa o te ora tātari e taunakitia ana, arā, 6 marama. Ā, he nui ake te utu o mua me te utu whakakapinga tātari (tata ki te $80 ia huinga, $160 rānei ia tau). Nō reira, paunatia ōna painga ki te utu teitei ake.
Ka tāutahia te Claryum Direct Connect me te kore e keri i ngā kōhao, 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 te whakawhiti i tō rātou wāhi) me te hunga kāore e taea te tāuta i tētahi pūwero tātari motuhake. Kāore e hiahiatia kia whakairihia ki te pakitara o te kāpata totohu – ka taea noa te takoto ki tōna taha. E tuku ana i ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF 77 rite tonu ki ā mātou kōwhiringa Aquasana me AO Smith kē atu, ā, ka tukuna ki te 1.5 karani wai tātari ia meneti, he nui ake i ētahi atu. Ko te kaha whakatauranga o te tātari he 784 karani, arā, tata ki te ono marama o te whakamahinga. Engari kāore he tātari-mua mō te paru, nō reira, ki te mea he raruraru paru āu, ehara i te kōwhiringa pai nā te mea ka purua. Ā, he nui rawa – 20½ x 4½ inihi – nō reira, ki te mea he iti, he kīkī rānei tō kāpata totohu, kāore pea e uru.
He mea whaimana mō te nuinga o ngā poke, he whānui te wātea, he utu tika, he iti hoki, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 te pūnaha tātari wai i raro i te totohu tuatahi e rapuhia ana e mātou.
He rite tonu te AO Smith AO-US-200 ki te Aquasana AQ-5200 ina whakaarohia ngā tiwhikete, ngā whakaritenga me ngā rahi, ā, nō Lowe's anake i hangaia ai, nō reira kāore i te tino whānui te wātea.
He rite tonu ngā tiwhikete pai o te AQ-5300+ engari he nui ake te rere me te kaha tātari mō ngā kāinga e whakamahi ana i te nui o te wai, engari he nui ake te utu, ā, he nui ake te wāhi e nohoia ana i raro i te totohu.
Ka tāutahia te Claryum Direct Connect me te kore e keri i ngā kōhao, 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, he roa aku kōrero ki ngā whakahaere tiwhikete tātari kia mārama ai ki te whakahaerenga o ā rātou whakamātautau, ā, i keri ahau ki roto i ā rātou pātengi raraunga tūmatanui kia whakaū ai i te tautokona o ngā kereme a te kaihanga e 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, ki te pātai he aha ā rātou kōrero. Ā, kua wheako ahau i ā mātou kōwhiringa katoa, nā te mea he mea nui te noho ora, te pakari, me te ngāwari ki te whakamahi mō tētahi 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 ngā aratohu tātari wai o Wirecutter o mua, i whakahaere i āna ake whakamātautau, i tono i ētahi atu whakamātautau motuhake, ā, i ako i ahau i te nuinga o ngā mea e mōhio ana ahau. Kei runga i tana turanga taku mahi.
Engari, kāore he whakautu kotahi e tika ana mō te katoa mēnā me whai tātari wai koe. I te Hononga o Amerika, ka whakahaeretia ngā tuku wai tūmatanui e te EPA 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. Waihoki, ka taea e ngā poke te mimiti ki roto i te wai i muri i te wehenga atu i te tipu maimoatanga mā roto i ngā paipa turuturu (PDF) mā roto rānei i ngā paipa tonu. Ka taea e te maimoatanga wai i te tipu (karekau rānei i arohia) te whakanui ake i te turuturu i roto i ngā paipa o raro iho—pērā i te mea i tupu i Flint, Michigan.
Hei kimi i te nui o te wai o tō kaiwhakarato ina puta atu i te whare, ka taea e koe te tirotiro i te pūrongo whakawhirinaki kaihoko a tō kaiwhakarato ā-rohe i runga ipurangi, e ai ki te whakahau a te EPA; ki te kore, me whakarato e ngā kaiwhakarato wai tūmatanui katoa he CCR ki a koe ina tonoa. Engari nā te mea ka taea te poke i te awaawa, ko te huarahi anake hei tino mohio kei te pai te wai i roto i tō whare ko te utu i tētahi taiwhanga kounga wai ā-rohe kia whakamatautauria.
Hei ture matua: ka tawhito ake tō whare, tō hapori rānei, ka nui ake te tūponotanga o te poke o te awaawa. E ai ki te EPA "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 i kitea noa i mua, ā, kāore i tutuki i ngā ture o nāianei. Ka whakanui ake hoki te koroheketanga i te tūponotanga o te poke o te wai whenua tuku iho kua whakaritea i mua e te umanga, he tūponotanga pea tēnei, inā koa ka honoa ki te pirau o ngā paipa o raro whenua e pā ana ki te koroheketanga.
Mena he nui atu i te rua ki te toru karani wai inu e inuhia ana e tō whānau i ia rā, he pai ake pea te whakamahi i te tātari wai i raro i te totohu i te tātari ipu. Ka whakaratohia e te pūnaha 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 te wā e hiahiatia ana" ka taea e te pūnaha 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 ipu mō tēnā.
He roa ake te kaha me te roa o te ora o ngā tātari i raro i te totohu i ngā tātari ipu—he rau karani te nuinga, ā, e ono marama, neke atu rānei, ki te whakaritea ki te 40 karani me te 40 karani mō te nuinga o ngā tātari ipu. e rua marama. Ā, 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 kikī 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 whakakapinga tātari i roto i ngā wā katoa, ā, he toharite hoki i roto i te wā. Ka tangohia hoki e te pūnaha te wāhi i roto i te kāpata totohu e wātea ana mō te rokiroki.
Ko te tāuta i tētahi tātari i raro i te totohu me whai pūnaha putorino me ngā taputapu taketake, engari he mahi māmā noa iho mēnā he kōhao kotahi te pūwero o tō totohu. Ki te kore, me patu e koe tētahi o ngā wāhi o ngā taputapu kua hangaia (e kitea ana he kōpae kua ara ake i runga i ngā totohu maitai, he tohu rānei i runga i ngā totohu kōhatu hangai). Ki te kore he patu, me keri koe i tētahi kōhao ki roto i te totohu, ā, ki te mea kei raro i te kaute tō totohu, me keri anō hoki koe i tētahi kōhao ki roto i te kaute. Mēnā kei a koe he taputapu hopi, he āputa hau horoi rihi, he pūwero ringaringa rānei kei runga i te totohu, ka taea e koe te tango atu ka tāuta i te taputapu ki reira.
Kua whakamanahia ēnei tātari, tāke me ngā taputapu whakaputa wai hei tango i ngā poke me te whakapai ake i te wai inu o te whare.
E pā ana tēnei aratohu ki tētahi momo tātari motuhake o raro i te totohu: arā, ko ērā e whakamahi ana i te tātari kātere, ā, e tuku ana i te wai tātari ki tētahi taputapu motuhake. Koinei ngā tātari tino rongonui o 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 ipu - hei here me te whakakore i ngā poke. Kāore mātou e kōrero ana mō ngā tātari e mau ana i te taputapu, ngā pūnaha osmosis whakamuri, ētahi atu tāke, taputapu tohatoha rānei.
Hei whakarite kia tūtohu noa mātou i ngā tātari ka taea e koe te whakawhirinaki, kua whakapumautia e mātou kua whakamanahia ā mātou whiringa ki te paerewa ahumahi: ANSI/NSF. Ko te American National Standards Institute me te NSF International he whakahaere tūmataiti, ehara i te mea mō te moni whiwhi e mahi tahi ana me te EPA, ngā māngai 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 matua e rua kua whakamanahia mō ngā tātari wai ko te NSF International tonu me te Water Quality Association (WQA). Kua whakamanahia katoatia ngā tātari e rua i Amerika Te Raki e te ANSI me te Standards Council of Canada mō te whakamātautau whakamanatanga ANSI/NSF, ā, me piri tonu ngā tātari e rua ki ngā paerewa me ngā tikanga whakamātautau ōrite. Kāore ngā tātari e tutuki i ngā paerewa tiwhikete tae noa ki tua atu i tō rātou roa e tumanakohia ana, mā te whakamahi i ngā tauira "wero" kua whakaritea he nui ake te poke i te nuinga o te wai puna.
Mō tēnei aratohu, ka arotahi mātou ki ngā tātari he tiwhikete chlorine, mata, me te VOC (arā, ngā pūhui waro mimiti).
He mea nui te tiwhikete hauota (e ai ki te ANSI/Paerewa 42) nā te mea ko te hauota te take o te "reka kino" o te wai puna. Engari he tohu anō hoki: Tata ki ngā momo tātari wai katoa kua tiwhiketehia.
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 whakakore tata atu i te 50 ngā matū waro, tae atu ki ngā maha o ngā biocides noa 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 he tiwhikete e rua, kua tautuhia e mātou ngā mea he pai ake te mahi.
I whakawhāitihia ake e mātou tā mātou rapunga ki te whiriwhiri i ngā tātari kua whakamanahia ki te Paerewa ANSI/NSF 401 hou, e kapi ana i te maha o ngā poke e puta ake ana i ngā wai o Amerika, pērā i ngā rongoā. Waihoki, ehara i te mea he tiwhikete 401 ngā tātari katoa, nō reira he rōpū tino whiriwhiri te hunga kei a rātou (me ngā 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. E rite ana tēnei ki te roa o te ora o te tātari mō te ono marama pea me te whakamahinga nui (2¾ karani ia rā). Mō te nuinga o ngā whare, he nui tēnei wai tātari mō te inu me te tunu kai o ia rā. (Ka whakaratohia e ngā kaihanga ngā wātaka whakakapinga tātari kua tūtohutia, e inehia ana i roto i ngā marama kaua i roto i ngā karani; ka whai mātou i ēnei taunakitanga i roto i ā mātou aromatawai me ngā tātaitanga utu. Ka tūtohu mātou kia whakamahia tonutia ngā whakakapinga taketake a te kaihanga, kaua ko ngā tātari tuatoru.)
Hei whakamutunga, i paunatia e mātou te utu o mua mō te pūnaha katoa ki te utu tonu mō te whakakapi i te tātari. Kāore mātou i whakatakoto i tētahi utu papa, tuanui rānei, engari i whakaatuhia e tā mātou rangahau ahakoa ko ngā utu o mua i waenga 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 whakaatuhia i roto i te tauira tino pai ake. He tauira utu nui ake i roto i ngā whakaritenga. Kua kitea e mātou he maha ngā tātari i raro i te totohu mō te iti iho i te $200, me te tuku tiwhikete pai me te roa o te ora. Ko ēnei hei whiringa whakamutunga mā mātou. Haunga tēnei, e rapu ana hoki mātou i:
I a mātou e rangahau ana, i ētahi wā ka tūtaki mātou ki ngā pūrongo mō ngā turuturu kino mai i ngā kaipupuri tātari wai kei raro i te totohu. Nā te mea kua piri te tātari ki te raina whakauru wai matao, ki te pakaru te hononga, te ngongo rānei, ka rere te wai ki waho kia kati rā anō te takirere kati – ko te tikanga ka roa pea ngā hāora, ngā rā rānei ka kitea e koe te raruraru, ā, ka pā kino ki te kino o tō wai. He mea onge tēnei, engari he tūponotanga hei whakaaroaro māu ina whakaaro ana koe ki te hoko i tētahi tātari kei raro i te totohu. Ki te hoko koe i tētahi, me whai i ngā tohutohu tāutanga me te āta tupato kia kaua e pana te hononga, kātahi ka tahuri mārire te wai kia tirohia ai ngā turuturu.
Ka tīmata te tātari osmosis whakamuri, te tātari R/O rānei, me te momo tātari kātere kotahi i whiriwhiria e tātou i konei, engari ka tāpirihia he tikanga tātari osmosis whakamuri tuarua: he kiriuhi angiangi e tuku ana i te wai kia haere, engari e tātari ana i ngā kohuke rewa me ētahi atu matū.
Tērā pea ka matapakihia e tātou ngā tātari R/O i roto i tētahi aratohu ā muri ake nei. I konei ka tino whakahēngia e tātou. He iti noa iho ngā painga mahi a ēnei tātari i ngā tātari mimiti; he nui te wai para e whakaputaina ana e rātou (ko te tikanga he tātari i te 4 karani o te wai "horoi" i ia karani), engari kāore ngā tātari mimiti e whakaputa i te wai para; he nui ake te wāhi e nohoia ana e rātou, nā te mea, kāore i rite ki ngā tātari mimiti, ka whakamahia e rātou he tāke 1, 2 karani rānei hei penapena wai kua tātarihia; he puhoi ake rātou i ngā tātari mimiti kei raro i te totohu.
Kua whakahaerehia e mātou ngā whakamātautau taiwhanga mō ngā tātari wai i ngā tau kua taha ake nei, ā, ko tā mātou ako matua mai i ā mātou whakamātautau ko te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF he mehua pono mō te mahi a te tātari. Kāore tēnei i te miharo i te kaha rawa o te whakamātautau tiwhikete. 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 a Big Berkey, kāore i te whai tiwhikete ANSI/NSF, engari e kī ana kua whakamātauria whānuitia ki ngā paerewa ANSI/NSF. Nā tēnei wheako i whakaū ake ai tō mātou tohe ki te tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pono me tō mātou kore whakapono ki te kereme "Kua Whakamātauria a ANSI/NSF".
Mai i taua wā, tae noa ki te tau 2019, kua arotahi ā mātou whakamātautau ki te whakamahinga o te ao tūturu me ngā momo āhuatanga whai hua me ngā ngoikoretanga ka kitea i a koe e whakamahi ana i ēnei hua.
He mea whaimana mō te nuinga o ngā poke, he whānui te wātea, he utu tika, he iti hoki, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 te pūnaha tātari wai i raro i te totohu tuatahi e rapuhia ana e mātou.
Ko tā mātou whiringa ko te Aquasana AQ-5200, arā, ko te Aquasana Claryum Dual-Stage. Ko tōna āhuatanga nui rawa atu tae noa ki tēnei wā ko te mea kei roto i ana tātari ngā tiwhikete ANSI/NSF pai rawa atu o ō mātou hoa whakataetae, tae atu ki te chlorine, chloramines, lead, mercury, VOCs, ngā "parahanga e puta ake ana" me te PFOA me te PFOS. Haunga tēnā, ko tana taputapu me te paipa he mea hanga ki te konganuku totoka, he pai ake i te kirihou e whakamahia ana e ētahi atu kaihanga. Ā, he tino kiato hoki te pūnaha. Hei whakamutunga, ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 tētahi o ngā uara pai rawa atu kua kitea e mātou i roto i ngā tātari i raro i te totohu, ko te utu tuatahi o te pūnaha katoa (tātari, whare, taputapu, me ngā taputapu) he tata ki te $140 i mua, ā, ko te utu mō te huinga o ngā mea e rua he $60 hei whakakapi i te tātari. He iti iho tēnā i te maha o ngā hoa whakataetae he ngoikore ake ngā tiwhikete.
Kua whakamanahia te Aquasana AQ-5200 e ANSI/NSF (PDF) hei kimi i ngā poke e 77. Haunga te Aquasana AQ-5300+ me te AO Smith AO-US-200 kua whakamanahia, nā tēnei ka waiho te AQ-5200 hei pūnaha whakamana kaha rawa atu mā mātou. (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 whakamutu i te raina hua Aquasana.) He rerekē, ko te tātari Pur Pitcher pai rawa atu me te whakaiti i te mata he tiwhikete 23.
Kei roto i ēnei tiwhikete ko te chlorine, e whakamahia ana hei patu i ngā pathogens i roto i ngā puna wai ā-tāone, ā, koinei te tino take o te "reka kino" i roto i te wai tap; te mata, e mimiti ana mai i ngā paipa tawhito me te whakarewa paipa; te mercury; ngā Cryptosporidium ora me ngā Giardia flagellates, e rua ngā pathogens pea; me te chloramine, he patu huakita chloramine pumau e whakamahia nuitia ana e ngā tipu tātari i te tonga o te Hononga o Amerika, he chlorine parakore e tere te pirau i roto i te wai mahana. Kua tiwhiketehia hoki a Aquasana AQ-5200 mō te maha o ngā "parahanga e puta ake ana" e 15 i roto i ngā pūnaha wai tūmatanui, tae atu ki te BPA, ibuprofen, me te estrone (he estrogen e whakamahia ana i roto i te whakahaere whānau); mō te PFOA me te PFOS— — Ngā matū e ahu mai ana i te fluorine e whakamahia ana hei hanga i ngā matū korepiri, 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 aua tātari i tiwhiketehia e te PFOA/S, he mea tino nui tēnei.) Kua tiwhiketehia 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 mua ahumahi.
Haunga ngā waro whakahohe me ngā kapia whakawhiti katote (he mea noa, ki te kore e whakamahia katoatia, 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 he waro whakatere, he waro whakahohe porous, ā, he nui ake te tauhohenga i puta mai i te rongoā i te waro ki te hau pāmahana teitei. Mō Cryptosporidium me Giardia, ka hangaia e Aquasana te tātari mā te whakaiti i te rahi o te pore ki te 0.5 microns, he iti rawa hei hopu ā-tinana i a rātou.
Ko te tiwhikete pai rawa atu 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 i wehewehe ai. He mea hanga te taputapu ki te konganuku totoka, me ngā rawhi-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-miro me te tāutanga hē. Ka whakamahia e te AQ-5200 ngā hononga kōpeketanga hei whakarite i te hiri piri, haumaru hoki i waenganui i te ngongo me te ngongo kirihou e kawe ana i te wai ki te tātari me te taputapu; ka whakamahia e ētahi kaiwhakataetae ngā hononga pana-ake māmā, he iti ake te haumaru. E wātea ana te taputapu AQ-5200 i roto i ngā whakaotinga e toru (nikara paraihe, konukōre oro, me te parahi hinu), engari kāore he kōwhiringa a ētahi kaiwhakataetae.
E pai ana hoki mātou ki 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, tae atu ki te Aquasana AQ-5300+ i raro nei, he rite te rahi ki te pounamu rita. Mēnā kua tāutahia te tātari 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+ he 13 x 12 x 4 inihi te rahi. 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 ngā wāhi kuiti kāore e taea te whakauru i ngā pūnaha nui ake, ā, he nui ake te wāhi e waiho ana mō te rokiroki i raro i te totohu. Me 11 inihi te wāhi poutū (i inehia mai i te tihi o te pouaka) hei tuku i te whakakapinga tātari, me te 9 inihi te wāhi whakapae kore ārai i te taha o te pakitara kāpata hei tāuta i te pouaka.
He tino pai te whakatauranga o te AQ-5200 mō ngā tātari wai, e 4.5 i roto i te 5 i roto i te 800 arotake i runga i te paetukutuku a Aquasana, me te 4.5 i roto i te tata ki te 500 arotake i Home Depot.
Hei whakamutunga, ko te utu o nāianei mō tētahi pūnaha katoa mō te Aquasana AQ-5200 he tata ki te $140 (he maha ngā wā ka hokona mō te tata ki te $100) me te $60 mō tētahi huinga tātari whakakapinga ($120 ia tau mō te huringa whakakapinga 6-marama), ko te Aquasana AQ-5200 tētahi o ngā uara pai rawa atu i roto i ō mātou hoa whakataetae, ā, he rau tāra te iti iho i ētahi tauira he iti ake te whānuitanga o ngā tiwhikete. Kei roto i te waeine he taima ka tīmata te tangi pī ina hiahia koe ki te huri i te tātari, engari ka tūtohu mātou kia whakatakotohia he whakamaumahara maramataka auau ki tō waea. (Kāore pea koe e ngaro.)
Ki te whakatauritea ki ētahi atu kaiwhakataetae, he iti ake te rere mōrahi o te Aquasana AQ-5200 (0.5 gpm vs. 0.72, neke atu rānei) me te iti ake o te kaha (500 karani vs. 750, neke atu rānei). He hua tika tēnei nō te iti o te tātari. I te nuinga, ki tā mātou whakaaro he iti ake te kiato o ēnei ngoikoretanga iti. Mena e mōhio ana koe me nui ake te rere me te kaha, ko te Aquasana AQ-5300+ he 0.72 gpm me te 800 karani, engari me te wātaka whakakapinga tātari e ono marama te roa, ka tukuna e te Aquasana Clarium Direct Connect ngā whakatauranga tae atu ki te 1.5 gpm Rere ki te 784 karani me te ono marama.
