Ukubona njani ukuvuza kwamanzi ekhayeni lakho

Ukwenzakala kwamanzi sesona sizathu sibangela ukuba kuthintelwe amabango e-inshorensi yomninimzi e-USA. Ngokuhambelana neInshurensi yoLwazi lweziko, iklasi "umonakalo wamanzi kunye nomkhenkce" yinjongo yesibini eqhelekileyo yokubhengezwa kwe-inshorensi, emva kokwenzakala komoya nesichotho.

Siye sacela uEric Palm, umongameli weAmerican Water Assets (AWR), ingalo yababoneleli bendlu yaManzi aseMelika, ukucacisa into enokwenzeka xa ukuvuza kungabonwa kunye nendlela abanini abanokuthi bathathe amanyathelo okujongana neendawo zamanzi. Iimpendulo zakhe ze-imeyile ziphantsi:

Q: Cacisa ingxaki yokuvuza kwamanzi endlwini. Lithini ithuba lokuvuza okunokwenzeka kumnini-ndlu oqhelekileyo?

Isundu: Ukuvuza kwamanzi ngaphakathi kwendawo yokuhlala kwenzeka ngaphezu kokuba ucinga. Abaninimzi banjalo 5 amathuba angaphezulu amathuba okuba ubuchwephesha bokwenzakala emanzini kunobusela kunye 6 Iziganeko ezingaphaya kokwenzakala eziko. Ngokuhambelana ne-EPA, 10 p.c yeepropati zinokuvuza kwamanzi okumosha ubuncinane 90 iilitha zamanzi ngosuku - ngokuphindaphindiweyo kunokuba ngaphandle kolwazi lomninimzi. Oku kuyafana malunga 2.5 iibhafu ezigalelwe amanzi.

Q: Kutheni le nto kubaluleke kangaka ukukhangela iindawo ezivuzayo??

A: Kunye nokubangela umonakalo omkhulu kwiziseko zepropathi yakho, ukuvuza kwamanzi kuphulukana nesixa esikhulu samanzi kwaye kubhuqa owona mthombo ubalulekileyo weplanethi yethu. Kwinyani, a 1/8-intshi umbhobho crack kunokubangela kangangoko 250 iilitha zokulahleka kwamanzi ngexesha losuku - malunga nexabiso leebhafu ezintandathu.

Q: Abanini banokufumanisa njani ukuvuza kwangethuba kunokuba benze umonakalo?

A: Jonga phambili amabala amanzi kwizahlulo okanye iisilingi, okanye amadama okuqubha amanzi alandela izixhobo zasekhaya njengesixhobo sokuhlamba izitya okanye ifriji. Nika ingqalelo kuba ngathi igumbi lokuhlambela likhupha amanzi/elizaliswa ngokutsha okanye ithontsi yetephu. Okokugqibela, khangela i-spikes kwi-invoyisi yakho yamanzi, njengoko ukugqiba kwenyanga ukuya kwinyanga kunokukhomba ukuvuza.

Q: Yintoni enokwenziwa ngabanini ukunqanda ukuvuza ukuba kungenzeki kwasekuqaleni?

A: Thatha ingqalelo yokuthenga ulwazi oluvavanya ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi kunye nokukhangela ukuvuza. Njengokuba, kwi-AWR, sibambisene noFlo nguMoen ukuhambisa iFlo ngeMoen Good Water Shutoff system kubanini, ebandakanya ukusekwa kwethu ngokungakhethi cala, umthonyama, uluntu olunelayisensi yeekontraka kwiindawo ezikhethiweyo. Ukwazi-ikhaya elilungileyo njengale hook kangangoko imitha yamanzi, Ukubona ukuvuza okuncinci kunye nokunika abanini uxolo lweengcinga kunye nentuthuzelo yokuvala ukude amanzi ukuba ukuvuza kuyenzeka..

Q: Ngaba ulwazi lwekhaya oluhlakaniphile aluthandeki ngakumbi kunokujongana nokuvuza nje ukuba kwenzeke?

A: Hayi. Njengokuba, i-Flo yi-Moen Good Water Shutoff, ithengwe yi-AWR, inika abanini igajethi kwaye imiselwe $600, ngokhetho lweendleko eziphantsi zenyanga nenyanga. Imibhobho evuzayo okanye egqabhukileyo inokuxabisa umninimzi kangangoko $4,000 ukuxhomekeka kubukhali. Ukunikezelwa kokuthotywa kwezakhiwo ezininzi zeziseko zombhobho kunye neenkqubo zemibhobho, abanini abangenalo ulwazi olunjalo kufuneka balindele ukukhathalela inani lokuvuza ngexesha lokuhlala ngaphakathi kwendawo yokuhlala..
