Mapombi emukicheni anodzokera kunguva dzekare saka ane nhoroondo refu yekuchengeta mvura iri nyore kuwanikwa kudzimba zhinji..

Iyo kicheni faucet ndiyo inonyanya kushandiswa mukicheni chero ipi zvayo. Mhuri yepakati inofungidzirwa kudzvanya pombi kupfuura 40 nguva pazuva. Izvi zvinoenderana nemushumo wekambani yeKWC. Saka zvinongonzwisisika kuti munhu anofanirwa kufunga nezvepombi yekubikira zvakanyanya kufunga, kusanganisira nzira yekusarudza iyo yakakodzera yekicheni yako maitiro, mararamiro uye maitiro ekuita kuti agare kuburikidza nemakore.

Pombi yakajairika inogona kugara makore gumi kana kupfuura. Yekutanga kupa kunze kwaizove kupedzisa nepo mapurasitiki uye zinc zvichipa mumakore mashanu chete. Ita shuwa kuti unoita kuti pombi yako yekicheni igare kwenguva refu nekuchengetedza kupera uye nekusashandisa mabrasives kana ammonia..

VaRoma vekare muna 1000 BC akashandisa faucets dzesirivha. In 1700 BC, nzvimbo yeMinoan yeKnossos, akabata terra cotta pombi yaipomba mvura mumatsime. MuMiddle Ages, makicheni ndiwo aiva pakati pemba uye zvinenge zvese zvaitenderera. In 1845, yekutanga screw down tap mechanism yakagadzirwa naGust naChimes.

In 1937, mumwe murume anonzi Alfred Moen akagadzira pombi ine ruoko rumwe chete yaisanganisa mvura inotonhora uye inopisa isati yabuda mu "fixer". Akauya nezano mushure mekunge apisa maoko ake netwo touch convectional faucet, imwe yechando uye imwe yekupisa. Akafunga kuti panofanira kuva nenzira yekuwana nayo zvaunoda papombi. Akauya nedzidziso yekudzora tembiricha nehuremu hwemvura panguva imwe chete mupombi imwe chete yekubata. Akaramba achigadzira pombi kubva 1940 ku 1945 ndokubva atengesa pombi yake yekutanga ine ruoko rumwe chete 1947. By 1959, dzose dzepombi dzine ruoko rumwe dzakanga dziri mudzimba dzinenge dzose.

In 1945, Landis H. Perry, yakagadzira yekutanga bhora vharafu iyo yakabatanidza vhoriyamu uye kusanganisa kwechisimbiso chiri nyore. Yakaita kuti faucet ishande zvakanyanya. Perry akatengesa patent yake kuna Alex Manoogian uyo, mukudzosa, akagadzira iyo Delta faucet mukati 1954. Iyi faucet yakabatanidza mazano uye faucet yaive yakarova. In 1958, kutengesa kweDelta faucet kwakasvika $1 mamiriyoni.

Muma1970, dhisiki rakagadzirwa neceramic rakagadzirwa neWolvering Brass iro raibatsira kudzora kuyerera kwemvura. Kubva ipapo, dhisiki yakashandura kashoma kuti iwedzere kupikisa uye kushanda.

Nhasi, isu tine kugona kuburitsa maspray uye mapombi emagetsi akagadzirwa neboka rakasiyana revagadziri. Icho chokwadi chekuti faucet yekicheni yakauya zvino munguva pfupi yakadaro inongoratidza kuti icharamba ichikura mune ramangwana.

Chokwadi

• Maererano neGale Research, “Pombi mudziyo wekuburitsa mvura mupombi. Inogona kuva nezvikamu zvinotevera:spout, kubata(s), simudza tsvimbo, cartridge, aerator, mixing chamber, nemigero yemvura. Kana mubato wabatidzwa, iyo valve inovhura uye inodzora kuyerera kwemvura inogadziriswa pasi pemvura chero ipi zvayo kana tembiricha mamiriro. Muviri wepombi unowanzo gadzirwa nendarira, kunyangwe die-cast zinc uye chrome-plated plastiki zvinoshandiswa zvakare. uye “mapombi anouya mumhando dzakasiyana-siyana, mavara, uye apedza. Ergonomic dhizaini inogona kusanganisira kureba kwespout kureba uye nyore kushandisa zvibato. Chimiro chepombi uye kupera kwayo kuchakanganisa maitiro ekugadzira. Mamwe madhizaini anozonyanya kuoma muchina kana kugadzira kupfuura mamwe. Imwe nzira yekupedzisa inogona kushandiswa kuwana chitarisiko chakasiyana. "
• Mapombi anogadzirwa kuti avhure nekudzima mvura, kudzora tembiricha yemvura uye kupa nzira inokurumidza uye inoshanda yekuwana mvura mukicheni.
• Mapombi anogadzirwa kuchengetedza nguva nesimba. Iyo yakaderera mwero wekuyerera kwemvura, iyo yakawanda simba iyo faucet inogona kuchengetedza.
• Zvinoenderana naWill Ford uye Kitchen Faucet Center, "Mumba makazara 4 vanhu, pombi mvura inenge 18% yekushandiswa kwemvura izvo zvakanyanya kutaura zvishoma. Mukufamba kwegore, avhareji yemhuri inoshandisa pakati 6,600-9,750 marita emvura pagore.”
• Maererano neWaterSense, pombi inodonhedza inodonhedza pamwero wekudonhera pasekondi imwe inogona kutambisa kupfuura 3,000 marita pagore. Imba ine zvimbuzi zveWaterSense yakanyorwa inogona kushandisa mvura iyoyo kugezesa kwemwedzi mitanhatu!
• Avhareji yemhuri yeAmerica inoshandisa avhareji ye 140 marita emvura pazuva.
• Maererano nepombi yemvura, "low-flow aerators anochengeta mwero wekuyerera pa/pazasi pe federal standard ye 2.2 gpm, zhinji dzepombi dzepamba pako dzinoshandisa mvura shoma. Asi nekuda kwekushandisa kwavo kwakanyanya, vanogona kuverengera kusvika 20% yekushandiswa kwemvura mumba zuva nezuva. Imba yakajairika inodhonza chero kubva pa18-27 galoni pazuva kubva kumapombi avo, kusanganisa kushandiswa kwese kwepombi kubva pakugeza maoko kusvika pakubika. Ziva kuti mapombi asina maeerators - kazhinji kicheni kana mapombi ekuwachira - anogona kuve nekuyerera kupfuura. 3 gpm, izvo zvinoparadza mvura yakawanda.”

Statistics

• Maererano a 2014 Government Accountability Report,"40 kubva 50 mamaneja emvura ehurumende anotarisira kushomeka kwemvura pasi peavhareji mamiriro mune imwe nzvimbo yematunhu avo mumakore gumi anotevera. "
• Maererano neUSA EPA, “Kudzima pombi paunenge uchikwesha mazino kunogona kuchengetedza 8 marita emvura pazuva uye, pakuveura ndebvu, inogona kuchengetedza 10 marita emvura pakuveura. Kufunga kuti unokwesha mazino ako kaviri zuva nezuva uye kugera 5 nguva pavhiki, unogona kuchengetedza zvishoma 5,700 marita pagore. Kurega pombi yako ichimhanya kwemaminetsi mashanu uchisuka ndiro kunogona kutambisa 10 marita emvura uye inoshandisa simba rakakwana kugonesa 60-watt girobhu remwenje 18 maawa.”

Mitengo

Mitengo yepombi inosiyana. Dzinogona kutsanangurwa kuburikidza nezvinhu, design, basa, uye kufamba. Zviri kumutengi kuti asarudze kuti ndeupi rudzi rungave rwakanakira imba yavo. Kuiswa kunouyawo mukutariswa pakusarudza mutengo. Heino muenzaniso mupfupi wekuti mitengo inogona kusiyana sei:

“Vazhinji vanopa mvura vanopa yakaderera-kuyerera eerator kunze kune vatengi vavo mahara kana iwe unogona kutenga imwe pazvitoro zvakawanda zvekuvandudza dzimba nemutengo. $1-5.00 mumwe nemumwe."
