Sanibonani nonke! Ake sixoxe ngento eyinhloko yasekhaya evame ukunganakwa: umshini wokukhipha amanzi othobekile. Yebo, uvame emahhovisi nasezindaweni zokuzivocavoca, kodwa uke wacabanga ngokuwuletha ekhaya lakho? Khohlwa uhambo olungapheli oluya esiqandisini ukuze uthole imbiza noma ijagi lokuhlunga le-countertop eliyinkimbinkimbi. Umshini wokukhipha amanzi wesimanje ungase ube ngcono imikhuba yakho yokukhipha amanzi (kanye ne-counter yakho yasekhishini) okufanele.

Khathele uku…?

Ukugcwalisa kabusha imbiza... futhi? Lokho kuqhubeka nokulinda.

Amanzi afudumele ngosuku olushisayo? Noma amanzi abandayo uma ufisa izinga lokushisa legumbi?

Isikhala esincane sefriji esigcwele amajagi amanzi amakhulu?

Umbukiso wamabhodlela epulasitiki? Kubiza kakhulu, kuyachitha, futhi kunzima ukuwuthwala ekhaya.

Ukunambitheka kwamanzi ompompi okungabazekayo? Ngisho noma usebenzisa isihlungi, ngezinye izikhathi ufuna okwengeziwe.

Faka i-Dispenser Yamanzi Yasekhaya: Isikhungo Sakho Sokulawula Amanzi

Ama-dispenser asekhaya esimanje ayabukeka, asebenza kahle, futhi agcwele izici ezenzelwe ukwenza ukuthola amanzi anambitheka kahle kube lula. Ake sihlole izinketho:

1. Izipholisi Zamanzi Ezisemabhodleleni (Ezakudala):

Indlela Esebenza Ngayo: Isebenzisa amabhodlela amakhulu angamalitha angu-3 noma angu-5 (ngokuvamile athengwa noma alethwe).

Izinzuzo:

Ukusebenza okulula.

Umthombo wamanzi ohlala njalo (uma uthemba uhlobo).

Ngokuvamile inikeza amanzi ashisayo (alungele itiye, amasobho asheshayo) kanye namanzi abandayo.

Ububi:

Inkinga Yebhodlela: Ukuthwala okunzima, ukugcina impahla, ukuhlela ukulethwa, noma ukubuyisa impahla engenalutho.

Izindleko Eziqhubekayo: Amabhodlela awamahhala! Izindleko ziyanda ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.

Imfucuza Yepulasitiki: Ngisho nezinhlelo zokushintshana ngamabhodlela, idla izinsiza eziningi.

Indawo Elinganiselwe: Idinga isikhala samabhodlela, ngokuvamile eduze nendawo yokuphuma.

Okuhle Kakhulu Kulabo: Labo abathanda uhlobo oluthile lwamanzi esiphethu/amaminerali futhi abangenandaba nokuphathwa kwamabhodlela.

2. Izihlinzeki Ezingenabhodlela (Ezisetshenziswayo): Isikhungo Esinamandla Sokuhlunga!

Indlela Esebenza Ngayo: Ixhuma NGOKUQONDILE entanjeni yamanzi abandayo yekhaya lakho. Ihlunga amanzi uma kudingeka. Yilapho izinto ziba mnandi khona!

Izinzuzo:

Amanzi Ahlungiwe Angapheli: Akusekho mabhodlela! Amanzi ahlanzekile noma nini lapho ufuna.

Ukuhlunga Okuphezulu: Ngokuvamile kusebenzisa izihlungi zezigaba eziningi (i-sediment, i-activated carbon, ngezinye izikhathi i-RO noma imidiya ethuthukisiwe) ezenzelwe izidingo zakho zamanzi. Isusa i-chlorine, i-lead, ama-cyst, ukunambitheka/iphunga elibi, nokuningi. Funa izitifiketi ze-NSF!

Izinhlobo Zokushisa: Amamodeli ajwayelekile anikeza ukushisa okubandayo kanye nokushisa kwegumbi. Amamodeli aphezulu anezela amanzi ashisayo asheshayo (acishe abilayo - afanele itiye, i-oatmeal, i-ramen) kanye namanzi acwebezelayo abandayo!

Isikhathi Eside Esingambi Eqolo: Kuqeda izindleko zamanzi asemabhodleleni. Izindleko kuphela ukufaka izihlungi esikhundleni sazo (ngokuvamile njalo ezinyangeni ezingu-6-12).

Ukonga Isikhala Nokunesitayela: Imiklamo emihle ifanela amakhishi esimanje. Akudingeki amabhodlela amakhulu.

Kuvikela imvelo: Kunciphisa kakhulu imfucuza yepulasitiki.

Ububi:

Izindleko Eziphezulu Ngaphambili: Kubiza kakhulu ekuqaleni kune-cooler ebhodleleni evamile.

Ukufakwa: Kudinga ukuxhumeka epayipini lamanzi (ngokuvamile ngaphansi kwesinki), ngokuvamile kudinga ukufakwa kochwepheshe. Baqashi, xhumana nomninindlu wakho kuqala!

Indawo Yokuphikisa: Idinga indawo ekhethekile, nakuba ngokuvamile ingaphansi kwezinyawo kunezimbiza/ama-pitcher.

Okuhle Kakhulu Ku: Abanikazi bezindlu noma abaqashi besikhathi eside abazimisele ngokuba lula, ukuhlunga, kanye nokususa ipulasitiki. Imindeni, abathandi betiye/ikhofi, abalandeli bamanzi acwebezelayo.

3. Izitsha Zokukhipha Amabhodlela Ezithwala Umthwalo Ophansi:

Indlela Esebenza Ngayo: Isebenzisa amabhodlela ajwayelekile, kodwa ibhodlela lihlala ngaphakathi kwekhabethe phansi, lifihliwe ekubonakaleni. Akukho ukuphakamisa okunzima kuya phezulu!

Izinzuzo:

Ukulayisha okulula: Kulula kakhulu kunezipholile ezilayisha phezulu.

Ukubukeka Okuhle: Ibhodlela lifihliwe.

Izinketho Ezishisayo/Ezibandayo: Izici ezijwayelekile.

Ububi:

Kusasetshenziswa Amabhodlela: Zonke izinkinga zamanzi asemabhodleleni zisekhona (izindleko, imfucuza, indawo yokugcina).

Indawo Yekhabhinethi: Kudingeka indawo evulekile ngaphansi kwebhodlela.

Okuhle Kakhulu Kulabo: Labo abazinikele emanzini asemabhodleleni abafuna i-cooler ehlelekile futhi ekhangayo.

Kungani Umshisi Ohlungiwe Ongenabhodlela Ungaba Yisishintshi Sendlela Osebenza Ngayo:

Ukunethezeka Okunganqobeki: Amanzi ashisayo, abandayo, acwengisisiwe ngokushesha, ngisho namanzi acwebezelayo ngokucindezela inkinobho. Akukho ukulinda, akukho ukugcwalisa.

Ukuhlunga Okuphezulu: Thola amanzi ahlanzekile, anambitheka kangcono kunezimbiza eziningi noma izihlungi eziyisisekelo zompompi. Yazi kahle ukuthi yini esuswayo (ngenxa yezitifiketi!).

Ukonga Izindleko: Lahla izikweletu zamanzi asemabhodleleni unomphela. Ukushintsha izihlungi kushibhile kakhulu.

I-Space Saver: Ikhulula izindlu eziqandisiwe eziyigugu ezitsheni nasemabhodleleni.

Ukunqoba Kwemvelo: Ukuncipha okukhulu kwemfucuza yepulasitiki kanye nomphumela wekhabhoni wokukhiqizwa kwamanzi asemabhodleleni kanye nokuthuthwa kwawo.

Ilungele imindeni: Ikhuthaza wonke umuntu ukuthi aphuze amanzi amaningi ngokufinyelela okulula emazingeni okushisa athandwayo. Izingane ziyawathanda amabhathini!

Umsizi Wokupheka: Amanzi ashisayo asheshayo asheshisa ukulungiswa kokupheka (i-pasta, imifino) futhi enza ubhiya obuhle kakhulu. Amanzi acwebezelayo athuthukisa ukuxubana kwasekhaya.

Ukukhetha Iqhawe Lakho Lokumanzisa Amanzi: Imibuzo Ebalulekile

Usebenzisa ibhodlela uma uqhathanisa nongenabhodlela? Lesi yisinqumo esikhulu kunazo zonke (icebiso: Ukunqoba ngaphandle kwebhodlela emakhaya amaningi isikhathi eside!).

Yimaphi amazinga okushisa engiwadingayo? Amakhaza/Igumbi? Kumelwe ube nokushisa? Isifiso Esikhazimulayo?

Liyini Ikhwalithi Yami Yamanzi? Thola isivivinyo! Lokhu kunquma amandla okuhlunga adingekayo (I-Basic Carbon? Advanced Media? RO?).

Isabelomali Sami Singakanani? Cabanga ngezindleko zangaphambi kwesikhathi kanye nezindleko zesikhathi eside (amabhodlela/izihlungi).

Ingabe Nginayo Indlela Yokufinyelela Emigqeni Yamanzi? Kubalulekile kumamodeli angenamabhodlela.

Izithiyo Zesikhala? Kala isikhala sakho sekhawunta/sekhabhinethi.

Izitifiketi: AKUXOXISWANA NGAYO uma kungekho mabhodlela! Bheka i-NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 (noma efanayo) ehlobene nezinto ezingcolisayo. Imikhiqizo ehloniphekile ishicilela idatha yokusebenza.

Iphuzu Elibalulekile

Umshini wokukhipha amanzi awuyona nje into esetshenziswayo; uwukuthuthukisa indlela yokuphila. Ukudlulela ngale kwama-pitcher namabhodlela kuya emthonjeni wamanzi ohlungiwe futhi ofunwayo kushintsha indlela okhipha ngayo amanzi, opheka ngayo, nophila ngayo. Nakuba ama-cooler asemabhodleleni enezindawo zawo, ukulula, ikhwalithi, ukonga izindleko, kanye nezinzuzo zemvelo zomshini wokukhipha amanzi ohlanzekile ongenamabhodlela wesimanje kwenza kube ukukhetha okuthakazelisayo emindenini ematasa nekhathalela impilo.
