Ungawulungisa kanjani umpompi kabhavu ovuzayo ngaphandle kochwepheshe

I-“Tom’s Guide” yasekelwa izethameli. Uma uthenga ngesixhumanisi esikuwebhusayithi yethu, singathola ikhomishana esebenzisana nayo. Funda kabanzi
Wake wazibuza ukuthi ungawulungisa kanjani umpompi kabhavu ovuzayo? Umpompi ovuzayo awugcini nje ngokucasula, kodwa uma unganakwa, ungase futhi ukhuphule isikweletu sakho samanzi. Lena enye yezinkinga esicabanga ukuthi ngeke sikwazi ukubhekana nayo ngaphandle kochwepheshe bamapayipi. Ifana ne-radiator evuzayo. Kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi, ungakwazi ukulungisa umpompi ovuzayo ngokushesha futhi kalula uwedwa.
Ngenxa yezizathu zokusimama, kufanele futhi ulungise umpompi ovuzayo ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka-cabanga ngakho, uma umpompi wakho uconsa njalo amahora angu-24 ngosuku, amakhulu wamalitha amanzi angase amosheke phakathi nonyaka.
Ukulungiswa kungenziwa ngemizuzu embalwa nje ngamanye amathuluzi asendlini, ngakho-ke asikho isizathu sokungakwenzi. Lena indlela yokulungisa umpompi ovuzayo.
1. Ngaphambi kokuba uqale, kufanelekile ukusho ukuthi izimpompi eziningi ezivuzayo zibangelwa ama-gaskets awonakele, ngakho-ke uma kunjalo, kungase kudingeke ulungiselele ukuwashintsha.
2. Okokuqala, cisha amanzi. Usuzokhipha izingxenye ezithile, futhi into yokugcina oyifunayo umonakalo wamanzi. Ivalvu yakho yokuphakela amanzi ngokuvamile ingatholakala endaweni engaphansi noma endaweni yokukhasa yendlu yakho. Ezinye zizotholakala ngaphandle.
4. Ngemva kokuqeda lo msebenzi, uzodinga ukufinyelela isiqu se-valve noma i-valve core, etholakala ngemuva kwesimpompi noma ngemuva kwesibambo esisodongeni, kuye ngohlobo lwe-faucet yakho. Uma ungaqiniseki, sicela ubheke imanuwali yakho.
5. Ukuze ufinyelele isiqu se-valve noma isici sokuhlunga, udinga ukususa isibambo se-faucet. Indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza lokhu incike ohlotsheni lwe-faucet yakho. Uma isibambo sakho sinamathiselwe kumpompi, ungase ubone isikulufu esincane esingaphansi kwesibambo usibambe endaweni efanele-ungasebenzisa i-screwdriver ukuze ususe isikulufu futhi ukhulule isibambo. Uma isibambo sakho sinamathele odongeni ngesivalo, kufanele ukwazi ukususa isivalo ngokuvele uvule isivalo kuqala.
6. Okulandelayo, udinga ukususa impompi odongeni noma ususe ngokuphelele ipuleti lesibambo. Ngokususa ezinye izikulufu ezingeziwe, manje kufanele ukwazi ukubona lezi zikulufi nge-screwdriver.
7. Ngemva kokukhulula lezi zikulufi, lungele ukukhipha umpompi noma ipuleti lokubamba. Abanye bangase badinge ukudonswa kancane, ngoba igobolondo ingase ihlangane nodonga ngenxa yesilinganiso nokugqwala. Ungawuphoqi, ngoba uzowubhubhisa. Kunalokho, zama ukuyifudumeza ngamanzi ashisayo kuqala bese uzama futhi.
9. Uma unesembozo sembobo kakhiye, sibukeka njengesembozo sembobo kakhiye odongeni futhi sidinga ukususwa. Ezinye zidinga ukukhishwa isikulufu, kanti ezinye zidinga ukukuluhlwa.
10. Manje kufanele ubheke isiqu se-valve yangaphakathi noma isici sokuhlunga. Sebenzisa isikrufu esilungisekayo ukuze usisuse futhi uhlole ngokucophelela ukuguga noma ukulimala.
11. Kufanele uthole ibhande lerabha elincane phezulu kwesiqu se-valve, okuyiwasha. Uma lokhu kubonakala kugugile noma kuqhekekile, kungase kube imbangela yokuvuza. Ngemva kokukhulula isikulufu sewasha, sishintshe ufake esisha, bese uhlanganisa kabusha umpompi. Uma i-gasket ingabonakali, i-cartridge ye-inki idinga ukushintshwa.
12. Uma lokhu kungavimbi ukuvuza, isiqu sevalvu yakho noma isibambo kungase kudingeke kushintshwe-futhi hlola umonakalo futhi uhlele izingxenye ezihambisanayo uma kunesidingo.
Uma lokhu kungayixazululi inkinga, sekuyisikhathi sokuqasha uchwepheshe. Kodwa, ngethemba ukuthi lokhu kumise umpompi wakho ovuzayo.
Ompompi abaningi abavuzayo babangelwa ama-gaskets agugile. Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho amanzi evulwa futhi evalwa, i-gasket ngokuyisisekelo iphushwa ibheke kuvalvu. Lokhu kuzoyigqoka kancane kancane ize iqine, iqhekeke futhi ibangele ukuvuza. Nokho, ukuvuza kungase kubangelwe isiqu se-valve esinephutha noma i-cartridge, noma isibambo esigqwalile. Zilungiselele ukuthi okungenani eyodwa yalezi zingxenye ingase idinge ukushintshwa.
U-Katie unakekela yonke into ehlobene nomndeni, kusukela ezitsheni zasekhishini kuya kumathuluzi okusebenza engadini. Uphinde amboze imikhiqizo yasekhaya ehlakaniphile, ngakho-ke iyindawo yokuxhumana engcono kakhulu yanoma isiphi isiphakamiso somndeni! Ubelokhu ehlola futhi ebuyekeza izinto zikagesi zasekhishini iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-6, ngakho uyazi ukuthi yini okufanele ayibheke lapho ethola okungcono kakhulu. Into ayithanda kakhulu ukuhlola umshini wokumisa, ngoba uthanda ukubhaka ngesikhathi sakhe esikhululekile.
