He wai mālama ola ka wai, akā inā inu pololei ʻoe i ka wai mai ka paipa, ʻaʻole paha he H2O wale nō. Wahi a ka ʻikepili piha wai piha o ka Environmental Working Group (EWG), nāna e hōʻiliʻili i nā hopena o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā pono wai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, hiki i ka wai i kekahi mau kaiāulu ke loaʻa nā kemika weliweli. Eia koʻu mau manaʻo no ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole e pōʻino kāu wai i kou olakino.
No ke aha i maʻemaʻe ʻole ai kāu wai pai e like me kou manaʻo.
ʻO ka wai inu "maʻemaʻe" mai ka paipu, ʻaʻole ia ka manaʻo o ka hapa nui o mākou he wai maʻemaʻe. Hele ʻo ia ma nā mile o nā paipu, e hōʻiliʻili ana i nā mea haumia a me nā kahe ma ke ala. Ua hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia paha ia me nā mea kemika, hiki ke waiho i kahi huahana carcinogenic e hiki mai ana1. (Hoʻokahi mea nui e hoʻomaopopo ai: pono ka disinfection. Inā ʻaʻole ia, e lilo nā maʻi lawe wai i pilikia mau.)
Wahi a ka noiʻi ʻana o EWG, i ka wā i kākau ai i kēia pepa, ma kahi o 85% o ka heluna kanaka i inu i ka wai paipu i loaʻa ma mua o 300 mau mea haumia, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua o ia mau mea ʻaʻole i hoʻoponopono ʻia e EPA 2. Hoʻohui i ka papa inoa ulu o nā mea hou. ʻike ʻia kokoke i kēlā me kēia lā, a ʻoi aku ka ʻino o ka wai i ka manawa.
He aha ka mea e inu ai.
Ma muli wale nō o ka pilikia o kāu kōpaʻa, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e kūʻai ʻoe i ka wai ʻōmole. ʻAʻole i hoʻoponopono ʻia ka mākeke wai ʻōmole, a ʻōlelo ʻo EPA ʻaʻole pono ka palekana ma mua o ka faucet. 3. Eia kekahi, he mea ino loa ka wai omole i ke kaiapuni: e like me ka Pacific Research Institute, ma kahi o 17 miliona barela aila e komo i loko o na hue plastik i ka makahiki. ʻO ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ma muli o ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa o ka hana hou ʻana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ma kahi o ʻelua hapakolu o kēia mau ʻōmole e kanu ʻia a i ʻole e komo i loko o ke kai, e hoʻohaumia i ka wai a e hōʻino i nā holoholona hihiu.
Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole e hele i kēia ala, akā kānana wai i ka home. ʻO ke kūpono, hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i nā ʻōnaehana kānana hale holoʻokoʻa - akā hiki ke uku nui. Inā ʻaʻole kēia ma ke kāleka, e hoʻolilo i nā ʻāpana ʻokoʻa no kāu kīʻaha kīhini a me ka ʻauʻau. (Inā hopohopo maoli ʻoe i kou ʻauʻau, ke paipai aku nei au iā ʻoe e ʻauʻau anuanu, i ʻole e wehe ʻia kou pores i nā mea haumia.)
He aha ka mea e nānā ai i ka kānana wai.
ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ua hōʻoia ʻia kēlā me kēia kānana āu e kūʻai ai e NSF International, kahi hui kūʻokoʻa kūʻokoʻa ʻole i kuleana no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a me ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka hiki o ka kānana ke wehe i kekahi mau mea haumia. Mai laila mai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo i ka kānana i kūpono i kou ʻohana a me kou nohona: ma lalo o ka papaʻaina, luna papa a i ʻole ka pahu wai.
Nā kānana ma lalo o ka counter maikaʻi, no ka mea, ua hūnā ʻia mai ka ʻike ʻana aku, a ua helu nui ʻia lākou e pili ana i ka kānana. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kumukūʻai kūʻai mua a me ke kumukūʻai no ke galani ma mua o nā koho ʻē aʻe a komo i kahi hoʻonohonoho.
·Nā kānana countertop hoʻohana i ke kaomi wai e hoʻoheheʻe i ka wai ma ke kaʻina kānana, e kōkua i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka wai i ke olakino a ʻoi aku ka ʻono, a wehe i nā mea haumia ma mua o ka ʻōnaehana pahu wai maʻamau. Pono ka ʻōnaehana countertop i ka hoʻokomo liʻiliʻi (kahi puʻupuʻu liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻohe mea paʻa paʻa) a lawe wale i kahi mau iniha o ke keʻena kūʻai.
·Nā ipu wai kūpono loa i nā poʻe me ka liʻiliʻi o ka wahi, no ka mea maʻalahi lākou e lawe, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻokomo ʻia, hiki ke waiho maʻalahi i loko o ka friji, a hiki ke kūʻai ʻia kokoke i nā kihi alanui āpau. Hana maikaʻi lākou i ka kānana ʻana i kekahi o nā mea haumia nui, akā ʻaʻole maʻamau e like me nā mana ma lalo o ka pākaukau a ma ka papaʻaina. ʻOiai he liʻiliʻi ka hoʻopukapuka mua, pono e hoʻololi pinepine ʻia ka kānana, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ke kumukūʻai no ke galani i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻano hana ʻē aʻe. ʻO kaʻu pahu wai punahele (ʻo ia ka mea a mākou e hoʻohana ai ma ke keʻena) ʻo Aquasana Powered Water Filtration System.
He ala maʻalahi ka kānana wai e kākoʻo i kou olakino, a he nui nā ala e hana ai. E inu au!
