I-geyser kagesi cishe njalo iyiyo eyodwa esebenzisa ugesi omningi kunazo zonke ekhaya laseNingizimu Afrika. Ihlala ophahleni ishisisa ithangi elikhulu lamanzi, iphinde iwashisise njalo lapho amanzi epholile, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhona yini osezowasebenzisa. Ukuhlela ukuthi nini ishisisa, kunokuyishiya ivuliwe usuku lonke, kuyindlela elula neshibhile kunazo zonke yokwehlisa ibhili, futhi akudingi ukuthi kushintshe indlela abantu basekhaya abasebenzisa ngayo amanzi ashisayo.

Lo mhlahlandlela uchaza ukuthi kungani i-geyser ihamba phambili ebhilini, izinto ezimbili ongazishintsha (ihlelo lesikhathi nezinga lokushisa), indlela yokwakha ihlelo le-timer elinengqondo, izindlela zokufaka izilawuli ezingadingi ukushintshwa kwezintambo, kanye nokuthi ungaqinisekisa kanjani ukuthi uyayonga ngempela imali kunokuqagela nje.

Kungani i-geyser ihamba phambili ebhilini lakho

I-element eshisisayo ye-geyser idonsa amandla amaningi, mangaphezu kakhulu kwawezibani, kwe-TV noma kwe-charger ye-laptop. Uma ibodwa lokho bekungalawuleka, kodwa izinto ezimbili ziyenza ibize. Okokuqala, amanzi alahlekelwa ukushisa ngezindonga zethangi nangamapayipi usuku lonke, ngakho i-thermostat ihlala iyivula futhi i-element ukuze inyuse izinga lokushisa, ngisho nasebusuku lapho kungekho muntu okhipha amanzi. Lokho kubizwa ngokulahleka kokushisa lapho ithangi limile nje. Okwesibili, ama-geyser amaningi ashiywa evuliwe njalo, ngakho akulungele ukushisisa amanzi nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, kuhlanganise nasebusuku obukhulu lapho ugesi ungakwenzeli lutho oluwusizo.

Ngamafuphi, i-geyser evuliwe amahora angu-24 usuku lonke ichitha ingxenye enkulu yamandla ayo igcina amanzi eshisa ngezikhathi ongasoze wawasebenzisa ngazo. Njengoba singena ezinyangeni ezibandayo, amanzi angenayo abanda kakhulu bese i-element isebenza isikhathi eside, ngakho lo mthelela uyakhula kuwo wonke ubusika.

Ihlelo lesikhathi nezinga lokushisa: izindlela ezimbili zokulawula

Zimbili kuphela izinto okufanele uzithinte, futhi zisebenza ndawonye.

Ihlelo lesikhathi

Shisisa amanzi ngezigaba ezihlelwe ngesikhathi umndeni wakho owasebenzisa ngempela ngaso, imvamisa isigaba esisodwa ngaphambi kokugeza kwasekuseni nesinye esifushane ngaphambi kwakusihlwa. Phakathi kwalezo zigaba i-element ihlala ivaliwe, ithangi lisebenzise ukushisa eligcinile, futhi ukulahleka kokushisa kuyancipha ngoba ithangi eliphole kancane lilahlekelwa ukushisa kancane. Yilapho kuvela khona ukonga okuningi, futhi yikho okugxilwe kukho kuwo wonke lo mhlahlandlela osele.

Izinga lokushisa

Izinga elibekwe ku-thermostat linquma ukuthi amanzi ashisa kangakanani. Uma ulibeka liphakeme kakhulu uchitha amandla futhi kube nengozi yokusha; uma ulibeka liphansi kakhulu ungavumela amagciwane ukuthi akhule ethangini. Indawo emaphakathi evamile nenengqondo icishe ibe ngamadigri angu-55 kuya ku-60, kushisa ngokwanele ukuze kuphephe ngaphandle kokuphoqa i-element ukuthi isebenze kanzima kunokudingekile. Ukugoqa ithangi ngengubo ye-geyser egcina ukushisa nokusonga imitha owodwa noma emibili yokuqala yepayipi lamanzi ashisayo kunciphisa nakakhulu ukulahleka kokushisa, futhi kubiza imali encane kakhulu.

Ukwakha ihlelo lesikhathi elinengqondo

Awudingi uhlelo oluyinkimbinkimbi. Qala ngokulula, ubuke ukuthi kuhamba kanjani isonto lonke, bese uyalilungisa.

• Bhala phansi ukusetshenziswa kwakho kwangempela kwamanzi ashisayo: kugezwa nini okokuqala nokokugcina ngosuku olujwayelekile?
• Misa isigaba sokushisisa sasekuseni esiphela ngqo lapho umuntu wokuqala egeza, hhayi amahora ngaphambili.
• Engeza isigaba esifushane sasemini noma sakusihlwa ngaphambi kokuwasha izitsha nokugeza kwakusihlwa.
• Shiya i-geyser ivaliwe ebusuku naphakathi nosuku uma kungekho muntu ekhaya.
• Zinike inketho yokuyivula ngesandla ngezinsuku ezingavamile lapho izinto zishintsha: izivakashi, ukuwasha izingubo, ingane egulayo ekhaya.
• Lungisa ngokwezinkathi zonyaka, izigaba ezinde ebusika nezifushane ehlobo lapho ithangi ligcina ukushisa kalula.

Ithangi ligcina amanzi ashisayo amaningi, ngakho isigaba esihlelwe kahle imvamisa senela umndeni wonke ngaphandle kokuthi kube khona oqaphelayo ukuthi i-geyser beyivaliwe ingxenye enkulu yosuku.

Izindlela zokufaka izilawuli ngaphandle kokushintsha izintambo

I-geyser ixhunywe ngqo ezintanjeni, ngakho izilawuli eziningi zihlala ku-distribution board noma eduze kwayo futhi kufanele zifakwe uchwepheshe kagesi onelungelo. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ukungeza isilawuli cishe akusho ukuthi kufanele kushintshwe amapayipi noma kususwe ithangi.

Inketho	Yenzani	Ubuhle nobubi
I-timer ye-DIN esebenza ngomshini	I-timer ephendulwa ngesandla ebhodini ivula futhi ivale i-geyser ngezikhathi ezimisiwe	Ishibhile futhi iyathembeka, kodwa ayiguquki; uyishintsha ngesandla futhi ayinaki isidingo sangempela
Uswishi we-timer we-digital	Izigaba zokuvula nokuvala ezingahlelwa, imvamisa nezikhathi eziningana zosuku	Iguquguquka kakhulu futhi usayifaka uyikhohlwe, kodwa idinga ukusethwa kahle kanye
I-relay ehlakaniphile noma i-contactor	I-relay ye-Wi-Fi ikuvumela ukuhlela nokuvula ngefoni, futhi imise kahle ngesikhathi sokucishwa kukagesi	Iguquguquka kunazo zonke, kodwa incike kunethiwekhi nasekusethweni okuncane; thenga ekulungele i-current ye-geyser
Ingubo ye-geyser nokusongwa kwamapayipi	Ukugcina ukushisa okwehlisa ukulahleka kokushisa ohlangothini lwezinga lokushisa	Akulawuli lutho, kodwa kushibhile, ungakufaka ngokwakho, futhi kuhambisana kahle nanoma iyiphi i-timer

Noma ngabe ukhetha ini, qinisekisa ukuthi idivayisi evulayo nevalayo ikulungele i-current ye-element ye-geyser, futhi uvumele uchwepheshe kagesi ukuthi enze noma yini engaphakathi ku-distribution board.

Ukukala ukonga kwangempela

Ungathembi ukuqagela. Indlela eqotho yokwazi ukuthi ihlelo liyasebenza yini ukuqhathanisa izibalo zemitha. Bhala isibalo sakho ngesikhathi esifanayo nsuku zonke isonto lonke ngaphambi kokushintsha noma yini, bese uphinda futhi isonto lonke ngemva kokufakwa kwe-timer. Uma une-prepaid meter, bheka ukuthi imali oyifakayo ihlala izinsuku ezingaki. Ukuhlolwa okulula kokulahleka kokushisa nakho kuyasiza: shisisa ithangi, ulivale usuku lonke kungekho muntu okhipha amanzi, bese ubona ukuthi izinga lokushisa lehle kangakanani kufika kusihlwa. Ithangi elisafudumele lilahlekelwa okuncane, ngakho isikhathi eside sokuvala siphephile.

Kuqonde ngokwanele ukuze ukwazi ukukwakha

Uma usubona ukuthi isilawuli se-geyser empeleni singuswishi nje, iwashi nomthetho (uma kungu-05:30 ngosuku lwesonto, vala i-relay), yonke le nto iyeka ukuzwakala njengomlingo. Lowo mqondo ofanayo, isibalo esifundwayo esiholela esinqumweni esiguqula okuphumayo, yikho kanye izingane ezikufunda e-sheen academy lapha eKapa. Ibhodi le-sheenbot∞ livumela izingane ukuthi zixhume i-relay, zifunde iwashi, futhi zibhale ihlelo lesikhathi ngekhodi, bese zibuka livula isibani noma iphampu encane ngesikhathi esifanele. Kuyinguqulo enobungane yenkinga efanayo exazululwa yi-timer ye-geyser yakho.

Uma ekhaya lakho kunengane esencane enothando lokuhlola izinto, ikilasi lokuzama lamahhala liyindlela enhle yokubona ukuthi lokho kuyayithatha yini, futhi amakhithi namabhodi ayatholakala esitolo sethu uma ufuna ukuqhubeka ekhaya. Awudingi lutho kulokhu ukuze uhlele i-geyser yakho, kodwa ukuqonda uswishi ongemuva kodonga kwenza zonke izinqumo zamandla ekhaya zicace kancane.

Okubalulekile

I-geyser iyinto enkulu kunazo zonke ongayishintsha emakhaya amaningi, futhi ukuhlela isikhathi kuyindlela elula kunazo zonke yokuyisebenzisa. Shisisa amanzi ngezigaba ezifushane ezihambisana nokusetshenziswa kwangempela, ubeke izinga lokushisa elinengqondo, ugcine ukushisa ethangini, bese uqinisekisa ukonga ngezibalo zemitha kunokwethemba nje. Qala nge-timer eyisisekelo kuleli sonto bese uyilungisa njengoba ubusika bungena.

Imibuzo evamile

Ingabe ukuvala nokuvula i-geyser kusebenzisa ugesi omningi kunokuyishiya ivuliwe?

Cha. Ukuphinda ushisise ithangi eliphole kancane kanye nje, ngaphambi nje kokuba ulidinge, kusebenzisa amandla amancane kunokugcina ithangi eligcwele lishisa usuku lonke, ulokhu unyusa njalo lapho kulahleka ukushisa. Le nkolelo eyiphutha ivela ekudideni i-geyser nento enokugxuma okukhulu kwamandla lapho iqala; i-element eshisisayo ayinakho.

Ingabe umndeni wami uzoshoda ngamanzi ashisayo?

Akuvamile, uma izigaba zihlelwe kahle. Ithangi le-geyser ligcina amanzi amaningi, ngakho ukushisisa kwasekuseni kwanela abantu abaningi abagezayo ngaphandle kwenkinga. Uma kwenzeka umuntu esala, ukuvula ngesandla kuwashisisa esikhathini esingaphansi kwehora.

Ingabe ngidinga uchwepheshe kagesi?

Kunoma yini exhunywa ku-distribution board, yebo. Ama-timer, ama-relay nama-contactor avula avale isekhethi ye-geyser kufanele afakwe uchwepheshe kagesi onelungelo. Ukugcina ukushisa okunjengengubo ye-geyser nokusongwa kwamapayipi kuphephile ukuthi ukufake wena.
