Ukwenza iphampu yephuli isebenze ngokuzenzakalelayo kuzibuyisela imali ngokushesha kunokuthuthukiswa okuningi kwasekhaya, futhi isizathu sicacile: iphampu ivamise ukuba ngomunye wemithwalo emikhulu ehlala ivuliwe endlini, futhi ingxenye enkulu yesikhathi esebenza ngaso ingumkhuba kunesidingo. Ithayima noma isilawuli esihlakaniphile sinciphisa amahora afike lapho amanzi ewadinga khona ngempela bese siwadlulisela ezingxenyeni ezishibhile zosuku. Nansi indlela yokubala ukubuyiselwa kwemali kwephuli lakho.

Linganisa isikhathi sokusebenza ngokujikeleziswa kwamanzi, hhayi ngewashi

Inombolo ebalulekile ukujikeleziswa: ukudonsela wonke umthamo wephuli esihlungini kaningi ngokwanele ukuze amanzi ahlale ecacile. Amanzi afudumele, asetshenziswa kakhulu maphakathi nehlobo adinga ukujikeleziswa okwengeziwe kunamanzi abandayo ngoJulayi, ngakho uhlelo olulodwa lonyaka wonke cishe njalo lusebenza isikhathi eside kakhulu ingxenye yonyaka. Njengamanje, ngoJanuwari, iphuli lakho lisebenza kanzima kakhulu; maphakathi nobusika ngokuvamile ungawehlisa amahora osuku. Ukonga kokuqala okuvela ekuzenzakaleleni kungokwesizini: misa amahora ehlobo, umise amahora obusika, bese uyeka ukukhokhela ukunyakaza kwamanzi iphuli elingakudingi.

Dlulisela amahora aye emawindini ashibhile

Ukonga kwesibili kusekutheni iphampu isebenza nini, hhayi nje ukuthi isebenza isikhathi esingakanani. Amakhaya amaningi aseNingizimu Afrika akumanani asekelwe esikhathini sokusebenzisa, lapho iyunithi kagesi kwisikhathi esimatasa kusihlwa ibiza kakhulu kuneyunithi efanayo ebusuku noma phakathi kosuku. Iphampu ayinandaba nokuthi ihlunga ngasiphi isikhathi, ngakho isilawuli singaphusha ingxenye enkulu yokusebenza kwayo iye emawindini angamatasa. Uhlelo olufanayo lungasebenza lugwema i-load shedding: uma ugesi ungekho ngesikhathi sakho, isilawuli esixhunyiwe singabuyisela amahora kamuva esikhundleni sokushiya amanzi engahlungiwe. Ithayima elilula lomshini likunika amahora; isilawuli esihlelekayo noma esixhunyiwe sengeza ukwazi ngamanani kagesi nelojiki yokubuyisela isikhathi esiphuthelwe.

Izibalo zokubuyisela imali, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo

Awudingi izibalo ezivela komunye umuntu. Ibhili yakho kagesi nepuleti lemoto yephampu kukunika konke. Kwenze ngalolu hlelo:

1. Thola isilinganiso samandla ephampu ngamakhilowathi, esiphrintwe epuletini lemoto.
2. Siphindaphinde ngamahora oyisebenzisa ngawo njalo ngosuku ukuze uthole amandla ewasebenzisayo ngosuku.
3. Phindaphinda amandla osuku ngenani lakho lokukhokha ngeyunithi ukuze uthole izindleko zanamuhla zosuku, bese uphindaphinda ngamashumi amathathu ukuze uthole isibalo senyanga esilinganiselwe.
4. Phinda lesi sibalo esifanayo ngohlelo lwakho olulungisiwe: amahora ambalwa, ngenani lesikhathi esingamatasa. Umehluko phakathi kwezibalo ezimbili zenyanga yikho ukonga kwakho.
5. Hlukanisa izindleko zesilawuli ngalokho konga kwenyanga. Impendulo icishe ibe yizinyanga eziningi kuze kube yilapho sesizikhokhele.

Ngenxa yokuthi iphampu ingumthwalo omkhulu futhi amahora ancishisiwe ngokuvamile maningi, lelo windi livame ukuba lifushane, kaningi libe yisizini eyodwa kunokuba yiminyaka. Yenza isibalo kokubili kwehlobo nakobusika bese uthatha isilinganiso, ukuze ungasekeli isinqumo sonke enyangeni yakho ematasa kakhulu.

Yini isilawuli esihle okumele sikwazi ukuyenza

Ngaphambi kokuthenga, hlola ukuthi ukuzenzakalela kungayenza yini ngempela imisebenzi edala lokho konga:

• Izinhlelo ezehlukene zehlobo nezobusika okulula ukushintshana phakathi kwazo.
• Ukwazi ngesikhathi sokusebenzisa, ukuze ingxenye enkulu yesikhathi sokusebenza iwele ngaphandle kwesikhathi esimatasa.
• Ukubuyisela isikhathi ngemuva kwe-load shedding, ukuze amahora aphuthelwe abuyiselwe kunokuba alahleke.
• Indlela yokulawula ngesandla ngezikhathi zokuhlanza ngevacuum noma zokwenza i-backwash.
• Amandla okuvula nokuvala anele emotweni yephampu yakho, ngakho hlola isilinganiso sikagesi ohambayo.

Futhi kwenza umsebenzi omuhle wokuqala

Ukuzenzakalela kwephuli kuyisingeniso esihlelekile sendlela wonke umsebenzi wokuzenzakalela kwasekhaya osebenza ngayo: funda iwashi, hlola isimo, uvule noma uvale irileyi ngokuphepha. Kungenye yamaphrojekthi okuqala abafundi abawahlanganisa kwibhodi le-sheenbot∞, elinika isizathu sangempela sokufunda izinhlelo zesikhathi, ukuzwa nokuvula-nokuvala esikhundleni sokuzivocavoca okungabambeki. Uma ufuna ukuqonda ukuthi kunani ngaphakathi kwesilawuli ngaphambi kokuthenga esisodwa, yilokho imihlangano yethu yokusebenza yamaholide ekumbozayo, futhi amabhodi namakhithi atholakala esitolo. Ukuthola okunye okubhaliwe ngokuzenzakalela kwasekhaya, bheka konke okunye ekamelweni lezindaba.
