Umbuzo: Indlela yokujongana nengxaki ekhethekileyo yemibhobho yamanzi: Emva kokugungxulwa rhoqo, indlu yethu yangasese yayifutha okwenyoka enkulu. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, yaqala ukwenza isandi, kwaye kwisithuba seveki, yabonakala ikhula ngakumbi. Ndiphinde ndaqaphela ukuba isantya sokugcwalisa itanki ngoku siyacotha, ngoko ke isandi sokufutha saqhubeka ngaphezu komzuzu. Kutheni indlu yam yangasese ifutha kwaye ndingayilungisa njani?
Impendulo: Uxolo ngokuva isihlalo sakho sendlu yangasese, kodwa into ethethwayo yingxaki eqhelekileyo. Inxulumene nevalve yokungena amanzi yendlu yangasese (ekwabizwa ngokuba “yivalve yokungena amanzi”). Ngokuhamba kwexesha, iidipozithi zamanzi aqinileyo okanye intlenga ziya kuhlala kwivalve kwaye zithintele ngokuyinxenye ukuba amanzi angangeni etankini. Oku kuya kwandisa uxinzelelo lwamanzi kwivalve, ukunyanzela amanzi ukuba aphume kumlambo omncinci, okubangela ukungcangcazela kunye nengxolo engathandekiyo. Nangona oku akuyi kubangela umonakalo kwindlu yangasese, akuyi kuba ngcono ukusombulula le ngxaki yedwa. Ukuba kukho intlenga, inokuvala ivalve ukuya kumlinganiselo omkhulu, ibangele isandi sokufutha, kunye nexesha elide lokuzalisa itanki yamanzi.
Ngethamsanqa, iinkqubo zokulungisa i-DIY zihlala zilungisa izinto ngaphandle kokutshintsha indlu yangasese. Inketho yokuqala yokulungisa ilula kakhulu kwaye phantse nabani na onokuyenza, ngoko nceda uqhubeke ufunda ukuze ufunde indlela yokuthulisa inyoka kwindlu yangasese.
Ukuba i-debris kunye neediphozithi zivala ivalve, ukuyikhupha inokuba yiyo yonke into efunekayo ukwenza itanki iphinde igcwalise ngokuzolileyo kwaye ngokukhawuleza. Esi sisombululo silula akufanele sithathe ngaphezu kwemizuzu eyi-15. Zixhobise ngekomityi yamanzi yeplastiki okanye i-screwdriver, emva koko wenze la manyathelo alandelayo:
Ukuba isitywina esidala sonakalisiwe, sinokuba sivalela ivalve kwaye sibangela ukuba indlu yangasese itshize. Ungaodola amatywina amatsha kumenzi wendlu yangasese, kodwa kulula ukuzisa amatywina amadala kwiziko lakho lendawo yokuphucula ikhaya okanye ivenkile yokubonelela ngemibhobho, fumana nje izitywina ezihambelanayo. Emva kokuba ufikile ekhaya, faka i-gasket entsha kwikhava, uze uphinde ufake isigqubuthelo kwindibano yevalve yokungena.
Ukuba la manyathelo akhankanywe ngasentla akaphumeleli ukuphelisa isandi sokukhwaza sendlu yangasese, ingxaki ikwindibano yevalve echazwe ngasentla. Okunokwenzeka, iidiphozithi zamanzi anzima ziya kubumba ngaphakathi kwendawo engezantsi yendibano yevalve yokungena. Indlela yodwa yokusombulula le ngxaki kukubuyisela isixhobo sonke. Olu lungiso luntsonkothile, ke ngoko unokufuna ukufowunela umtywini ngeli xesha.
Ukuba uyi-DIYer ezinikele ngakumbi, nceda uzive ukhululekile ukuyilungisa. Ukuba wenza impazamo, awuyi kulimaza indlu yangasese, kodwa ukuba utshabalalisa eyokuqala, kuya kufuneka uthenge iivalve zokutshintsha ezininzi. Ivalve nganye ixabisa i-US$19 ukuya kwi-US$35, iseyixabiso eliphantsi kunotyelelo lomtywini, kodwa ukunqanda iindleko ezingeyomfuneko, nceda ube nomonde. Yonke inkqubo yokutshintshwa iya kuthatha iiyure ezintathu, kwaye ufuna isethi yepuphu yepompo yamanzi kunye ne-crescent wrench ehlengahlengiswayo.
Ukutshintsha ivalve yonke yokungena kwamanzi kufuna ukuba kususwe isivalo sevalve emi nkqo kwitanki yendlu yangasese kwaye sahlule kwintonga yokufunxa kunye nengalo ephakamisa ibhaffle (iplagi yerabha ivalela amanzi etankini de igungxulwe). Ngenxa yoyilo oluhlukeneyo lwee-valve zokungena, zihlulwe ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. Ngemiyalelo yokukukhulula, nceda undwendwele iwebhusayithi yomenzi wezindlu zangasese. Emva kokukhupha ivalve yevalve, yithathe uyise kwiziko lokuphucula ikhaya okanye ivenkile ebonelela ngemibhobho yamanzi kwaye uthenge ikiti ehambelanayo yevalve yokungena. Ikhithi yokutshintsha iqulethe zonke iigaskets, amandongomane kunye nezitywina ozifunayo ukuze ufakele i-valve entsha. Ikhithi ikwaqulethe imiyalelo malunga nendlela yokufaka ivalve kunye nendlela yokulungelelanisa ubude bamanzi kwitanki.
