in Beijing, with the people to pursue the high quality of life, more and more families, and community-installed can live production of pure water purification apparatus.

However, the reporter found that the water use of such devices tap water, filtered wastewater down the sewer flow away in vain. Beijing Jieshui Ban several times to coordinate the relevant departments, due to the lack of legal support, long-term linkage mechanism and strict metering and charging system, staggering waste still can not eliminate.

water purification equipment everywhere plenty of water is directly discharged out

long ago in Beijing, people Xiaoyan spent 4,000 yuan to buy a certain brand of pure water machine, does feel good at first use, the kettle wall there is no knot a little dirt, drink up and taste jerky and more sweet. But after the discovery, Each time I pick up the water, the machines continue to operate, the water pipe also came rushing sound of water. He was curious to explore what, two thin tube inserted into the specifications the same cup, unscrew the faucet, drainage access on thin tube filled with a glass of water, thin tube leading to the sewer will be filled more than three cups of water.

time of purchase, sales just say PP cotton, activated carbon, and other layers of filter, no that will generate waste water, my own experiments, two small pipe from water, is difficult to see the difference with the naked eye. “said Xiaoyan, and later several phone calls and customer service to negotiate, the other replies that he said that indeed there will be water to go, the more expensive products, the more the level of filtering, wasted the water more.

in recent years, similar to water-purification equipment not only into the homes of ordinary people, are starting to appear in a lot of residential area, of which Wells water for more than five rings outside the region, municipal water Chongwenmen Chaoyangmen area. “Now make and sell” one yuan to buy 5 liters of pure water “propaganda by the pursuit of quality of life of populations, especially the welcome attention to the health of elderly residents, some community residents’ committees will automatically water sales machine” into the district as convenient measures. In the neighborhood of a capacity of 1800 residents, the reporter see a total of five water dispenser, during the rush hours, always want to waste five people in front of the machine.

reporters to find named Sheng Daoyu agents, he made no secret to say: “You hit a home water is the essence of 34 tons of to one ton. by the dealer three times to installation and maintenance of the machine when the reporters at the scene observed that they are using water softener salt is commonly used form of ordinary families, but also have a tube inserted into the sewage wells. Shengdao Yu said that those who are with impurities, with bacteria waste water directly to drain it wants. In more than one cell, the reporter asked the survey, the vast majority of residents do not know “water vending machine,” What is the principle, do not know the waste problem exists.

from Beijing’s water conservation department survey shows that the automatic water dispenser is a small reverse osmosis water treatment equipment, processing capacity is about 3 cubic meters / day, the water production rate in 30 % to 50%. Due to the low recovery rate of raw water, condensed water, place the direct discharge is not fully utilized, resulting in waste. Thorough investigation ended in 2009, the registration of only 1047 units.

supply and demand booming accidental lucrative and water quality tend to be hard

automatic water dispenser so wasteful, why can brazenly everywhere it? The reporters found that in-depth investigation, the main reason is the profit margin is huge, while the Beijing hard water, drilling loopholes for businesses seeking interests.

With the improvement of people’s living standards, the requirements for drinking water quality increases. Part of the “vending water machine businesses see the opportunities it contains, in order to sell products for residents of the psychological hype. Reporter pretending to do the card and Shengdao Yu conversation. “Are you pregnant now, drink this water on the baby the best, make the rice softer and more fragrant, bath body skateboarding yo.” He strongly recommended that, even if the bottle of ink down into, and ultimately will be processed into pure water.

Beijing Water Authority for many years monitoring results show that the Beijing tap water quality fully meets the requirements, residents will be safe to drink. The tap water supply pipeline, however, still can not achieve full coverage of the city’s residential area, part of the residential water supply by Wells, groundwater hardness vary due to regional differences, although the standard, but there is still room for improvement.

According to the results of the sixth census,

Beijing urban population of 1685.9 million, which 20% of long-term clean drinking water, according to an average daily intake the pure water for 2 liters Beijing average daily consumption of pure water up to 6743.6 cubic meters of purified drinking water is about 2.46 million cubic meters, in accordance with the water production rate is generally calculated between 30-50%, waste one can imagine.

many people in the industry will be manufacturing and selling behavior of this pure water, likened to “steal” or “walking a fine line. According to the price published by the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, Beijing car wash industry, the implementation of the pure water industry price of 61.68 yuan / cubic meter, the amount of water of such water purification equipment in accordance with the sales of residential water price the implementation of 4 yuan / cubic meter. In other words, the same production of one cubic meter of pure water, and related companies to spend at least the water cost of more than 200 dollars, while sales of such equipment manufacturers, only a few dollars the cost of water.

the industry regulators exist the absence of matching requirements should be as soon as possible the introduction

reporter learned that, one outdoor water vending machine in the long regulatory situation, involving the issuance of licenses of the business sector, water sector is responsible for drinking water supply, health departments are responsible for water quality testing, also need to go through real estate developers, property company or industry, the Commission agreed. In other words, water vending machines belong to the supervision of the various departments, if there are problems all departments regardless.

Beijing Jieshui Ban said that they clear water dispenser and water purification equipment, such as wasting water the deliberations had coordination meeting of the various departments of industry and commerce, but with little, water-saving sector have no right to stop the manufacturers from operating activities, the need for industry and commerce departments to strengthen management. Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce and Industry believes that the waste of water resources not owned by their possession, and can not pause or stop the registration of enterprises of the water dispenser. Water sector have also very upset, they are only responsible for providing water, as the use is not good to interfere in the home such as water pipes, cooking, bathing, flushing, gardening, whatever you think of what to do.

industry insiders and experts suggested that the most critical to improve the automatic water dispenser water prices, establish a strict metering system should also comply with the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission announced price, in accordance with Beijing car wash industry, the implementation of the pure water industry to implement the 61.68 yuan / cubic meter price. The prevailing view, strictly controls the scale of outdoor water dispenser at the same time, it should be a separate measurement.
