Izindaba

Singase sizuze amakhomishini esisebenzisana nawo uma uthenga kuzixhumanisi ezikusayithi lethu.Nansi indlela esebenza ngayo.
Ukukhetha ukufakwa endlini yokugezela kuzwakala kulula, kodwa njengoba abaklami abaholayo nochwepheshe bechaza, ziningi izingibe ezingaba khona.
Ngaphandle uma ungomunye wabantu (abambalwa) abambalwa abakha okokuhlobisa kwabo besebenzisa izifakelo zethusi, ukuthenga umpompi wokugezela akulula ukuthi kube yinto eza kuqala kuwe.Kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi idinga ukucatshangelwa ngokubheka emuva - noma yikuphi, ithusi kufanele libe yinto ehamba phambili lapho uhlela indlu yokugezela.
Kulula ukubukela phansi umsebenzi onzima ongena ekufakeni izingxenye ezinyakazayo ezifana nezinsimbi zeshawa kanye nompompi nsuku zonke.Khetha okuthile okunekhwalithi ephansi noma okungakulingani esikhaleni sakho futhi uzozisola ngakho maduze.Ukulungisa noma ukushintsha ompompi abalimele kungaba yindleko enkulu, ikakhulukazi uma bengompompi odongeni noma ophansi.Yingakho uma uqhamuka nenqwaba yemibono yokugezela, kuwukuhlakanipha ukunikela iningi lokucabanga kwakho kanye nesabelomali ezintweni zethusi.
Ompompi banikeza ngempela ithuba lokufanisa amathrendi esimanje okugezela anemiphetho eyinsimbi njengegolide noma ithusi, noma ukuthuthukisa izindlu zangasese zendabuko ngethusi lakudala noma ithusi eliguga kahle ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.Kodwa-ke, ukubukeka ngakunye kudinga izinga elihlukile lokunakekela futhi ukunakekelwa kwangemuva kufanele kucatshangelwe ngaphambi kokuthenga.
Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole imibuzo esemqoka okufanele uyibuze ngaphambi kokutshala imali ezintweni zokugezela zethusi.Ungamangala ukuthi mingaki imicabango empompini owodwa, kodwa ngeke uzisole ngokuchitha leso sikhathi esincane esengeziwe...
Akungabazeki ukuthi ukukhetha kwakho i-brassware kungaba yinto emangalisayo.Indawo engcono kakhulu ongaqala ngayo iwukukhetha kokuqedwa kanye nesitayela sokuklama sisonke - ngamanye amazwi, sesimanjemanje, sakudala, noma sendabuko.
Uma lokhu sekunqunyiwe, ungadlulela ekuqedeni, lapho izinketho zakho zizokhula futhi ukuze ukhethe phakathi kwe-chrome, i-nickel noma ithusi."Bethonywe izikhukhula zokuqeda okusha emakethe, baphinde bahlola ukuthi izinto zethusi zithinta kanjani ukubukeka kwendlu yangasese," kusho u-Emma Joyce, umphathi womkhiqizo e-House of Rohl (evula kuthebhu entsha)."Isibonelo, ukuqedwa kwe-matte emnyama okuyinkimbinkimbi kuyindlela enhle yesimanje ekuqedeni okujwayelekile kwe-chrome."
Kubukeka kuhlaba umxhwele kakhulu uma kubhangqiwe ubhavu oyindilinga omnyama, njengakulesi sibonelo sika-Victoria + Albert.
I-nickel epholishiwe iseyisinqumo esihle sendlu yangasese yakudala—ifudumele kune-chrome, kodwa hhayi “njengecwebezelayo” njengegolide.Ukuze uthole amanye amagumbi okugezela esintu, “izinto zokuhlala” njengethusi elingapendiwe, ithusi, nethusi kuzoguga ngokungahleliwe, kwengeze i-patina kanye nobuhle endlini yakho yokugezela… nakuba kunganconywa kubantu abathanda ukuphelela.
Buza noma yimuphi umklami wasendlini yokugezela noma uchwepheshe wethusi futhi uzothola impendulo efanayo: sebenzisa okuningi ngendlela ongakwazi ukuyikhokhela.Ngokusekelwe kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu kokulungiswa kwekhaya, siyavuma nakanjani.Eqinisweni, singasho nokusho ukuthi kungcono ukuchitha imali entweni enjengeze noma ubhavu imbala kunokuchitha umpompi.Lokhu kungenye yamaphutha amakhulu omklamo wokugezela.
Eqinisweni, noma yiziphi "izingxenye ezihambayo" ezingase zibe ngaphansi kokucindezeleka kwansuku zonke, njengezimpompi, isistimu yokugeza kanye nendlu yangasese, kufanele kube lapho uchitha khona ingxenye enkulu yesabelomali sakho, njengoba kungenzeka ukuthi zehluleke uma uthola "ezishibhile".
“Izitsha zokupheka zethusi ezishibhile neze akuwona umqondo omuhle.Ingase ibukeke iyinhle ekuqaleni, kodwa isheshe ilahlekelwe ukucwebezela kwayo bese iqala ukubukeka igugile,” kusho u-Emma Mottram, i-Brand Marketing Manager e-Laufen (evula kuthebhu entsha).“Isixazululo wukutshala imali yethusi esezingeni zisuka nje.Ngeke nje kubukeke kukuhle, kodwa kuzokongela imali ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba ungeke kudingeke ukuthi uyishintshe iminyaka.
“Ngihlala ngithanda ukusebenzisa imali eningi ngangokunokwenzeka,” kuvuma u-Louise Ashdown, umqondisi womklamo we-West One Baths (uvula kuthebhu entsha).“Izinsimbi zethusi zikhipha ingcindezi endlini yokugezela, futhi ukwakhiwa kwekhwalithi ephansi ngezindleko eziphansi kungagcina kubiza kakhulu ukulungisa nokushintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.”
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukukhetha i-cookware yethusi ezomela uvivinyo lwesikhathi."Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu kulabo abanamathele odongeni: ngokuvamile akukho ukufinyelela okuqondile kubo, okwenza ukulungisa kube nzima futhi kubize," kusho u-Yousef Mansouri, inhloko yokuklama e-CP Hart (ivula kuthebhu entsha).
Ngakho-ke uqinisekisa kanjani ikhwalithi enhle?Sincoma ngempela ukuthi uthenge umpompi wokugezela kumhlinzeki “ohloniphekile” onewaranti yokuqina kwezixhumi zabo zethusi futhi osekunesikhathi eside ukhona ukuze abe nedumela elimisiwe lekhwalithi.
Izinto zokwakha nazo zibalulekile.Ngemali encane, ungathola umpompi onezinto zekhwalithi ephansi kanye nabangaphakathi abaqinile kancane.Ukwandisa isabelomali sakho kusho ukuthi maningi amathuba okuthi uthole impompi yethusi eqinile ekwazi ukumelana nokugqwala.Ngenxa yalesi sizathu, ithusi sekuyisikhathi eside liyizinto ezikhethiwe, ngakho-ke igama elithi "izitsha zethusi".
Insimbi engagqwali ikufanele uma ufuna into engashabalali, ahem, ngemali eningi.Ivamise ukubiza kakhulu ngoba insimbi inzima ukusebenza ngayo, kodwa umpompi awuzweli futhi uqinile.Uma ufuna okungcono kakhulu, bheka i-“316 Stainless Steel Marine Grade”.
Into yokugcina okufanele uyibheke "i-coating" noma ukuqedwa kwe-faucet.Izindlela ezine zivame ukusetshenziswa: i-PVD (ukufakwa komhwamuko obonakalayo), ukupenda, i-electroplating kanye ne-powder coating.
I-PVD ithathwa njengokuqeda okuhlala isikhathi eside futhi ivamise ukusetshenziselwa imiphumela yensimbi njengegolide elidumile."I-Roca isebenzisa lo mbala ezintweni zikagesi ze-titanium ezimnyama neziyigolide," kusho u-Natalie Byrd, umphathi wezokukhangisa."I-PVD coating imelana nokugqwala nokwakheka kwezikali, futhi indawo engaphezulu imelana kakhulu nokuklwebheka nezinto zokuhlanza."
I-chrome epholishiwe ingeyesibili kuphela ku-PVD ukuze iqine futhi inikeza isiphetho esifana nesibuko.I-varnish ayihlali isikhathi eside, kodwa inganikeza indawo ecwebezelayo noma ejulile.Okokugcina, ukumbozwa ngempushana kuvame ukusetshenziselwa ompompi abanemibala kanye/noma abathungiwe futhi amelana nokushitshwa.
“Njalo qiniseka ukuthi umfutho wamanzi ekhaya lakho ufana nezitsha zethusi ozikhethayo,” kweluleka u-Emma Mottram, uMphathi Wokumaketha Womkhiqizo e-Laufen (uvula kuthebhu entsha)."Ukwenza umpompi wakho wempompi noma ishawa ufane nomfutho wamanzi kuzohlinzeka ukusebenza kahle kakhulu, kuyilapho ukungafani kungaholela ekugelezeni kwamanzi kancane kanye nobunzima bokugcina izinga lokushisa elilinganayo neliqhubekayo."
“Ungacela umuntu osebenza ngamapulangwe ukuthi akubalele umfutho wamanzi, noma akuthengele i-pressure gauge bese uzenzela yona.”Ngemva kokuthatha izilinganiso, hlola ubuncane bezidingo zokucindezela kwamanzi kumkhiqizo owukhethile.Kokubili uchungechunge lwe-Laufen ne-Roca lwe-copper cookware lufaneleka ku-50 psi ukucindezela kwamanzi.
Ukuze uthole inkomba, ukucindezela kwamanzi "okujwayelekile" e-United States kuphakathi kuka-40 no-60 psi, noma isilinganiso esingu-50 psi.Uma uthola ukuthi ingcindezi iphansi, cishe ngama-psi angama-30, ungabheka umpompi ochwepheshile ongakwazi ukubhekana nalezi zindleko eziphansi.Amashawa ngokuvamile awavezi inkinga enjalo, futhi iphampu ngokuvamile ingasetshenziselwa ukucindezela.
“Ngaphambi kokusebenzisa imali ezintweni ezisetshenziswa ngethusi, bheka indishi yakho yokuwasha - inamabhobo amangaki kampompi?”kuchaza u-Emma Mottram waseLaufen.' Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi unciphise ukukhetha kwakho.Isibonelo, ungafaka into yethusi ebekwe odongeni phezu kukasinki ongenayo imbobo yompompi.Leli hhotela noma indlu yokugezela yokunethezeka ihambisana kahle nezinto eziyize eziphindwe kabili.
“Uma isitsha sakho sokuwasha sinembobo ebhojwe ngaphambili, uzodinga umpompi onesiqephu esisodwa (i-spout ehlinzeka ngengxube yamanzi ashisayo nabandayo).Uma unezimbobo ezimbili ezimbozwe ngaphambilini, uzodinga umpompi wekholomu., enye nenye amanzi ashisayo.Zilawulwa i-rotary knob noma i-lever.
“Uma unezimbobo ezintathu ezibhojwe ngaphambili, uzofuna umpompi onezimbobo ezintathu ohlanganisa amanzi ashisayo nabandayo ngesipophu esisodwa.Izoba nezilawuli ezihlukene zamanzi ashisayo nabandayo, ngokungafani ne-monobloc faucet.
Endlini yokugezela encane lapho yonke into ibonakala khona, abaklami abaningi bazoncoma ukuthi izinto zakho zethusi zifane-okungcono ezivela kumkhiqizi ukuze uqinisekise ukuqedwa okufanayo.
Lokhu akusebenzi kuphela kompompi, kodwa nasezihlokweni zeshawa nezilawuli, amapayipi avele asobala, amapuleti ashaywayo, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho namapheripheral afana nezinsimbi zamathawula nezibambi zephepha lasendlini yangasese.
Amagumbi okugeza amakhudlwana anenkululeko eyengeziwe yokuxuba nokufanisa okuqediwe ngaphandle kokuphazamisa noma ukonakalisa ukubukeka okuphelele.ULouise Ashdown uthi: “Nakuba ngingeke ngibeke i-copper ne-copper ehambisanayo eduze kakhulu, ezinye zazo, njengokumnyama nokumhlophe, zisebenza kahle kakhulu nezinye.
Uma uphupha ngendlu yokugezela ephefumulelwe yakudala, mhlawumbe uke wacabanga ngokuthola izinto ezisetshenziswa zakudala zethusi.Lokhu kungase kube ukukhetha okuhle, kodwa akufanele nanini uthenge ngokusekelwe ekubukekeni kwedwa.Okufanelekile, izisekeli ezivuselelwe kufanele zilungiswe futhi zihlolwe ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuthi zisebenza kahle.Uma uhlela ukufaka umpompi we-vintage kumapayipi akhona, qiniseka ukuthi usayizi wembobo uyahambisana futhi kunesikhala esanele ngaphansi sokufakwa.
Inhlanganisela yempompi enetafula lokugqoka noma ubhavu wokugezela ayincikile nje kuphela kwisitayela, kodwa futhi nasekucatshangelweni okusebenzayo.Ngaphezu kwezimbobo (noma ukuntuleka kwayo) kuma-ceramics, udinga futhi ukucabangela ukubekwa.
Umbhobho kufanele uphume ngokwanele ngaphezu kukasinki noma ubhavu ukuze ungashayi onqenqemeni futhi ugcwale ikhawunta noma phansi ngaphansi.Ngokufanayo, ukuphakama kufanele kube okulungile.Ukuphakama kakhulu nokuchaphaza okuningi.Iphansi kakhulu futhi ngeke ukwazi ukubeka izandla zakho ngaphansi kwayo ukuze ugeze izandla zakho.
I-plumber yakho noma usonkontileka kufanele akusize ngalokhu, kodwa ibanga elijwayelekile lemboni phakathi kompompi bamanzi ashisayo nabandayo licishe libe ngamayintshi angu-7 phakathi kwezikhungo zezimbobo.Ngokuqondene nesikhala esisuka kumpompi wempompi ukuya kusinki, isikhala esingamayintshi angu-7 sizokunikeza indawo eningi yokugeza izandla zakho.
“Ngenxa yezinketho eziningi emakethe, ukukhetha umpompi noma umpompi ompompi kungaphakamisa imibuzo ethile, njengokuthi ungase uwuthande umklamo, kodwa ingabe uzolingana usinki wakho?”Lena i-thermostat, ingabe iphakeme kakhulu, ingabe amanzi azogeleza?Kusho uMartin Carroll waseDuravit.“Kungakho i-Duravit isanda kwethula i-Duravit Best Match configurator (evula kuthebhu entsha) ukuze ikusize uthole inhlanganisela ephelele yompompi nezitsha zokugeza.”
Ngakho-ke, ungagcina kanjani indawo entsha ngemuva kokufakwa?Nokho, kufanele kube lula kakhulu - vele usule ngendwangu ethambile, amanzi afudumele, noketshezi lokugeza izitsha ngemva kokusetshenziswa.Kufanele ugweme izihlanzi ezilumayo njengoba zingaba buthuntu, zonakalisa noma zenze isiphetho se-matte kompompi abaningi.
“Iziqephu zethu ezimnyama ezimnyama nezimnyama ze-titanium zinesitayela futhi kulula ukuzinakekela,” kusho u-Natalie Bird wase-Roca."Akusekho ukungcoliswa kwezigxivizo zeminwe noma ukuguquguquka kwemibala ezintweni zethusi - ukugeza ngokushesha ngensipho namanzi."
Isihluthulelo ukugwema ukwakheka kwesilinganiso se-lime, njengoba isikali sinzima nje ukususa ebusweni bomxube, kodwa singalimaza nesakhiwo sayo sangaphakathi.Uma uhlala endaweni enamanzi aqinile, cabanga ukuthenga okokuthambisa amanzi ukuze ugweme ukwakheka kwesikali.
Iningi lethu liwathatha kalula amanzi ompompi ezindlini zethu.Kodwa ukulahlwa nokushisa kwayo kudinga amandla ayigugu nezinsiza, ngakho-ke uma ukhathalela imvelo, udinga ukusebenzisa izesekeli zokugezela ezonga amanzi kancane ngangokunokwenzeka.
"Sonke kufanele senze ingxenye yethu ukonga amanzi," kusho u-Natalie Bird, umphathi wezokukhangisa we-Roca."Khetha izinto zokugezela zethusi ezinezivimbeli zokugeleza ukuze ukhawulele inani lamanzi agelezayo kumpompi wakho."
“I-Roca iphinde yasungula uhlelo olubandayo lokupheka izitsha zayo zethusi.Lokhu kusho ukuthi uma umpompi uvuliwe, amanzi abanda ngokuzenzakalelayo.Khona-ke isibambo kufanele siguqulwe kancane kancane ukuze sethule amanzi ashisayo.Kuleli qophelo kuphela lapho ihhavini iqala khona, igwema ukusebenza okungadingekile futhi okungenzeka ilondoloze izikweletu zezinsiza.
Kungase kungabi into yokuqala oyibhekayo lapho uthenga imikhiqizo yethusi, kodwa sicabanga ukuthi kuyindlela elula yokwenza ingxenye yakho yemvelo ngaphandle komthelela omncane noma ongenawo nhlobo endleleni yakho yokuphila.
