Ucwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwe yi-Water Quality Association luveze ukuthi amaphesenti angama-30 amakhasimende ezinsiza zamanzi asekhaya ayekhathazekile ngekhwalithi yamanzi ageleza esuka empompini zawo. Lokhu kungasiza ekuchazeni ukuthi kungani abathengi baseMelika basebenzise imali engaphezu kwamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-16 emanzini asemabhodleleni ngonyaka odlule, nokuthi kungani imakethe yezihlanzi zamanzi iqhubeka nokukhula okukhulu futhi kulindeleke ukuthi ikhiqize amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-45.3 ngo-2022 njengoba izinkampani ezikule ndawo zilwela ukuhlangabezana nesidingo sabathengi.

Kodwa-ke, ukukhathazeka ngekhwalithi yamanzi akuyona ukuphela kwesizathu sokukhula kwale makethe. Emhlabeni wonke, sibone izitayela ezinhlanu ezinkulu ziqala ukusebenza, konke esikholelwa ukuthi kuzofaka isandla ekuguqukeni nasekukhuleni okuqhubekayo kwemakethe.
1. Amaphrofayili Omkhiqizo Omncane
Kuyo yonke i-Asia, ukwanda kwamanani ezindlu kanye nokukhula kokufuduka kwabantu basemakhaya besuka emadolobheni kuphoqa abantu ukuba bahlale ezindaweni ezincane. Njengoba kunesikhala esincane sekhawuntara nendawo yokugcina izinto zikagesi, abathengi bafuna imikhiqizo engeke nje yonge isikhala kodwa futhi ezosiza ekuqedeni ukuxinana. Imakethe yokuhlanza amanzi ibhekana nalesi simo ngokuthuthukisa imikhiqizo emincane enamaphrofayili amancane. Isibonelo, iCoway ithuthukise umugqa womkhiqizo we-MyHANDSPAN, ohlanganisa okuhlanza okungabanzi kunesandla sakho. Njengoba isikhala esengeziwe sekhawuntara singabhekwa njengento yokunethezeka, kunengqondo ukuthi iBosch Thermotechnology ithuthukise ochungechungeni lwe-Bosch AQ lokuhlanza amanzi, oluklanyelwe ukungena ngaphansi kwekhawuntara futhi lungabonakali.

Akunakwenzeka ukuthi amafulethi e-Asia azokhula ngokushesha, ngakho-ke okwamanje, abaphathi bemikhiqizo kumele baqhubeke nokulwela indawo eyengeziwe emakhishini abathengi ngokuklama izihlanzi zamanzi ezincane nezincane.
2. Ukuphinda kusetshenziswe amaminerali ukuze kunambitheke futhi kube nempilo
Amanzi ane-alkaline kanye ne-pH alinganisiwe abe yindlela ekhulayo embonini yamanzi asemabhodleleni, futhi manje, abahlanzi bamanzi bafuna ingxenye yemakethe yabo. Okuqinisa imbangela yabo yisidingo esikhulayo semikhiqizo nezimpahla endaweni yezempilo, lapho imikhiqizo embonini ye-Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) ifuna ukusebenzisa imali esetshenziswa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-30 eMelika “ezindleleni zezempilo ezihambisanayo.” Enye inkampani, i-Mitte®, ithengisa uhlelo lwamanzi asekhaya oluhlakaniphile oludlula ukuhlanza ngokuthuthukisa amanzi ngokuvuselela amaminerali. Ingabe iphuzu lokuthengisa eliyingqayizivele? Amanzi kaMitte awahlanzekile nje kuphela, kodwa anempilo.

Yiqiniso, impilo akuyona yodwa into eqhuba ukuthambekela kokuvuselelwa kwamaminerali. Ukunambitheka kwamanzi, ikakhulukazi amanzi asemabhodleleni, kuyisihloko esixoxwa kakhulu, futhi amaminerali amancane manje abhekwa njengengxenye ebalulekile yokunambitha. Eqinisweni, i-BWT, ngokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bayo be-magnesium obunelungelo lobunikazi, ikhipha i-magnesium emanzini ngesikhathi senqubo yokuhlunga ukuqinisekisa ukunambitheka okungcono. Lokhu akusebenzi nje kuphela emanzini okuphuza ahlanzekile kodwa kusiza ukuthuthukisa ukunambitheka kwezinye iziphuzo ezifana nekhofi, i-espresso netiye.
3. Isidingo Esikhulayo Sokubulala Amagciwane
Abantu ababalelwa ezigidini ezingu-2.1 emhlabeni wonke abanawo amanzi aphephile, okuyizigidi ezingu-289 zabo abahlala e-Asia Pacific. Imithombo eminingi yamanzi e-Asia ingcoliswe yimfucuza yezimboni neyasemadolobheni, okusho ukuthi amathuba okuhlangana namagciwane e-E. coli uma kuqhathaniswa namanye amagciwane atholakala emanzini aphezulu kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, abahlinzeki bokuhlanza amanzi kumele bakhumbule ukuhlanza amanzi, futhi sibona izilinganiso zokuhlanza amanzi ezihluka kwi-NSF class A/B futhi zishintshele ezilinganisweni ezibuyekeziwe njenge-3-log E. coli. Lokhu kunikeza isivikelo esiqhubekayo esamukelekayo sezinhlelo zamanzi okuphuza kodwa kungafezwa ngezindleko eziphansi futhi ngosayizi omncane kunamazinga aphezulu okuhlanza amanzi.
4. Ukuzwa Kwekhwalithi Yamanzi Ngesikhathi Sangempela
Umkhuba okhulayo ekwandeni kwamadivayisi ahlakaniphile asekhaya yi-water filter exhunyiwe. Ngokuhlinzeka ngedatha eqhubekayo kumapulatifomu ezinhlelo zokusebenza, izihlungi zamanzi ezixhunyiwe zingenza imisebenzi eminingi kusukela ekuqapheni ikhwalithi yamanzi kuya ekuboniseni abathengi ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi nsuku zonke. Lezi zinto zizoqhubeka nokuba hlakaniphile futhi zibe namandla okukhula kusukela ezindaweni zokuhlala kuya ezindaweni zikamasipala. Isibonelo, ukuba nezinzwa ohlelweni lwamanzi lukamasipala ngeke kugcine nje ngokuxwayisa izikhulu ngokushesha ngokungcola, kodwa futhi kungaqapha amazinga amanzi ngokunembe kakhudlwana futhi kuqinisekise ukuthi yonke imiphakathi inokufinyelela emanzini aphephile.
5. Gcina Kukhazimula
Uma ungakaze uzwe ngeLaCroix, kungenzeka ukuthi uhlala ngaphansi kwedwala. Futhi ukuhlanya okuzungeze lo mkhiqizo, abanye abawubiza ngokuthi inkolo, kunezinye izinhlobo ezifana nePepsiCo ezifuna ukusizakala. Izihlanzi zamanzi, njengoba ziqhubeka nokwamukela izitayela ezikhona emakethe yamanzi asemabhodleleni, ziye zabheja emanzini acwebezelayo. Isibonelo esisodwa yi-sparkling water purifier kaCoway. Abathengi babonise ukuzimisela kwabo ukukhokhela amanzi asezingeni eliphezulu, kanti izihlanzi zamanzi zifuna ukufanisa lokho kuzimisela nemikhiqizo emisha eqinisekisa kokubili ikhwalithi yamanzi kanye nokuhambisana nezintandokazi zabathengi.
Lezi yizindlela ezinhlanu nje esizibonayo emakethe njengamanje, kodwa njengoba umhlaba uqhubeka nokushintshela ekuphileni okunempilo kanye nesidingo samanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile sikhuphuka, imakethe yezihlanzi zamanzi nayo izokhula, ilethe izinhlobo eziningi zezindlela ezintsha esizoqiniseka ukuthi sizozibheka.
