Empeleni, umshini wokukhipha amanzi wenzelwe ukwenza ukuthola amanzi kube lula ngangokunokwenzeka. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyindebe yetiye eshisayo ekuseni okubandayo, ingilazi yamanzi abandayo aqabulayo ngosuku olushisayo, noma ukuphuza njalo ukuze uhlale unamanzi, le mishini iletha amanzi ekushiseni okufanelekile ngokucindezela inkinobho nje. Akusekho ukulinda ukuthi iketela libile noma ukubhekana nobunzima bokugcwalisa amabhodlela amanzi njalo empompini.​

Enye yezinzuzo ezibaluleke kakhulu zabahlinzeki bamanzi ilele ezinzuzweni zabo zezempilo. Amamodeli amaningi esimanje ahlonyiswe ngezinhlelo zokuhlunga ezithuthukisiwe, njenge-reverse osmosis, izihlungi zekhabhoni, noma i-ultraviolet sterilization. Lobu buchwepheshe bususa ngempumelelo ukungcola, ukungcola, kanye nama-microorganisms ayingozi emanzini, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke amaconsi owasebenzisayo ahlanzekile futhi aphephile. Ngokususa isidingo samanzi asemabhodleleni, angase aqukethe amanani amancane amakhemikhali epulasitiki njenge-BPA, abasebenzisi bamanzi nabo banegalelo endleleni yokuphila enempilo.​

Ngokombono wezemvelo, abasabalalisi bamanzi bashintsha kakhulu. Inkinga yokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki emhlabeni wonke isifinyelele ezingeni elithusayo, njengoba izigidigidi zamabhodlela amanzi epulasitiki zigcina zisezindaweni zokulahla udoti, olwandle, nakwezinye izindawo zemvelo minyaka yonke. Ukukhetha abasabalalisi bamanzi kunciphisa kakhulu imfucuza yepulasitiki, njengoba kukuvumela ukuthi usebenzise amabhodlela noma izinkomishi ezingasetshenziswa kabusha. Amanye amamodeli asekela ngisho namajagi amakhulu amanzi agcwaliswa kabusha, okunciphisa kakhulu umthelela wemvelo.​

Ama-water dispenser nawo anikeza ukuguquguquka ngokwemisebenzi yawo. Kunezinhlobo ezahlukene ezitholakala emakethe, ezihlangabezana nezidingo nezintandokazi ezahlukene. Ama-countertop model afanelekela izikhala ezincane noma amakhaya, ahlinzeka ngesisombululo esincane ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa lula. Ama-freestanding model, ngakolunye uhlangothi, afanele amahhovisi noma amakhaya amakhulu, anikeza umthamo omkhulu wokugcina amanzi futhi avame ukuba nezinketho zamanzi ashisayo nabandayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanye ama-models athuthukile eza nezici ezengeziwe njengokusebenza ngaphandle kokuthinta, izingidi zokuphepha kwezingane, kanye nezinkomba zekhwalithi yamanzi ezakhelwe ngaphakathi.​

Kodwa-ke, njenganoma iyiphi idivayisi, ukulungiswa okufanele kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuthi umshini wakho wokukhipha amanzi uhlala isikhathi eside futhi usebenza kahle. Ukuhlanza njalo nokushintsha isihlungi kubalulekile ukuvimbela ukwakheka kwamagciwane nokugcina ikhwalithi yamanzi. Abakhiqizi abaningi banikeza iziqondiso zokulungisa ezinemininingwane, okufanele zilandelwe ngokucophelela.​

Ekuphetheni, izihlanzi zamanzi zingaphezu nje kwendlela elula yokuthola amanzi. Ziyindlela yokutshala imali empilweni yethu, emvelweni, kanye nekhwalithi yokuphila iyonke. Ngokulula kokusetshenziswa kwazo, amakhono okuhlunga athuthukile, kanye nezici ezinobungani nemvelo, zizuze indawo yazo njengethuluzi elibalulekile emakhaya nasezindaweni zokusebenza zanamuhla. Ngakho-ke, ngesikhathi esizayo lapho uphuza isihlanzi sakho samanzi, zinike isikhashana sokwazisa leli qhawe elingadunyiswanga elenza ukuhlala unamanzi kube lula.​
