Iitanki zoxinzelelo lwamanzi zidala uxinzelelo lwamanzi ngokusebenzisa umoya ocinezelweyo ukutyhala amanzi ezantsi. Xa iivalveivuleke, umoya ocinezelweyo kwitanki utyhala amanzi ngaphandle. Amanzi atyhalwa ngombhobho de uxinzelelo lwehla kwixabiso eliphantsi elisetyenzisiweyo kwisitshixo soxinzelelo. Nje ukuba ummiselo ophantsi ufikeleleke, utshintsho loxinzelelo lunxibelelana nempompo yamanzi, luxelela ukuba luvule ukuze lutyhale amanzi amaninzi kwitanki nakwindlu. Ukumisela ubungakanani obufanelekileyo betanki yoxinzelelo olufunekayo, kufuneka uqwalasele ukuhamba kwempompo, ixesha lokuqhuba impompo kunye ne-cut-in/cut-out-psi.

Yintoni umthamo wetanki yoxinzelelo?
Umthamo wethontsi yimali encinci yeamanziukuba itanki yoxinzelelo inokugcina kwaye ihambise phakathi kokuvalwa kwempompo kunye nokuqalisa kabusha impompo. Musa ukubhidanisa umthamo wokulahla kunye nobungakanani bomthamo wetanki. Ukuba likhulu itanki yakho, ithontsi elikhulu (amanzi agciniweyo ngokwenene) uya kuba nalo. I-drawdown enkulu ithetha ixesha elide lokuhamba kunye neelophu ezimbalwa. Abavelisi ngokubanzi bacebisa ubuncinci bexesha lokubaleka lomzuzu omnye ukuze imotor iphole. Iimpompo ezinkulu kunye neempompo eziphezulu zamandla ehashe zifuna ixesha elide lokubaleka.

Izinto ekukhetheni ubungakanani betanki elungileyo
• Into yokuqala ekufuneka uyazi lizinga lokuhamba kwempompo. Ikhawuleza kangakanani ukumpompa? Oku kusekelwe kwiigaloni ngomzuzu (GPM).

• Emva koko kufuneka wazi elona xesha lincinci lokuqhutywa kwempompo. Ukuba izinga lokuhamba lingaphantsi kwe-10 GPM, ixesha lokugijima kufuneka libe yi-1 GPM. Nawuphi na umyinge wokuqukuqela ongaphezulu kwe-10 GPM kufuneka uqhutywe kwi-1.5 GPM. Ifomula yokumisela amandla akho okutsalwa kukuhamba x ixesha eligqithileyo = amandla okutsala.

• Into yesithathu yinkqubo yokutshintsha uxinzelelo. Iinketho eziqhelekileyo ziyi-20/40, 30/50 kunye ne-40/60. Inombolo yokuqala luxinzelelo lwangasemva kwaye inombolo yesibini luxinzelelo lwempompo yokuvala. (Uninzi lwabavelisi baya kuba netshati ekuxelela inani lokutsalwa ngokusekwe kuxinzelelo loxinzelelo.)

Ngaba Ubungakanani Bekhaya Bubalulekile?
Xa ulinganisa itanki, umfanekiso osisikwere wekhaya lakho awubalulekanga kangako kunokuhamba kunye nexesha lokumpompa. Oku eneneni kunento yokwenza nokuba zingaphi iilitha ngomzuzu ozisebenzisayo ekhayeni lakho ngexesha elinikiweyo.

Itanki yobungakanani obufanelekileyo
Itanki yakho yobungakanani obuchanekileyo isekelwe kumlinganiselo wokuqukuqela ophindaphindwe ngexesha lokubaleka (elilingana nomthamo wokuhla), emva koko useto lwakho lokutshintsha uxinzelelo. Ukuphakama kwesantya sokuhamba, inkulu itanki ongayisebenzisa.
