Isithambisa amanziisetshenziselwa ukunciphisa ubulukhuni bamanzi aluhlaza ukuze kufezwe injongo yokuthambisa amanzi aqinile, ngaleyo ndlela kugwenywe ukukalwa kwe-carbonate emapayipini, ezitsheni, nasemabhoyileni,isetshenziswa kakhulu emasimini ezimboni nasemakhaya ukunciphisa ukwakheka kwezikali nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yamanzi. Lokhu okulandelayo kungenye yemininingwane eningiliziwe mayelana nesithambisa amanzi:

1. Isimiso sokusebenza

Isithambisi samanzi sifeza kakhulu umphumela wokuthambisa amanzi ngobuchwepheshe bokushintshana kwama-ion. Umgomo oyinhloko ukusebenzisa i-sodium cation exchange resin ukufaka esikhundleni sama-ion e-calcium (Ca² ⁺) kanye ne-magnesium (Mg ² ⁺) emanzini ngama-ion e-sodium (Na ⁺), ngaleyo ndlela kunciphisa ubulukhuni bamanzi.

Ukungena: Amanzi aqinile angena ku-water softener.

Inqubo yokushintshana: Ama-ion e-sodium ku-resin abhekana nokushintshana kwama-ion e-calcium ne-magnesium emanzini.

Ngemva kokwelashwa, kuphuma amanzi athambile.

2. Izingxenye eziyinhloko

Ithangi le-resin: ligcwele i-cation exchange resin, esetshenziselwa ukushintshanisa ama-ion.

Ibhokisi likasawoti: ligcina usawoti ovuselelwe (ngokuvamile usawoti wetafula) osetshenziselwa ukubuyisela amandla okushintshana kwe-resin.

Isilawuli: silawula umjikelezo wokusebenza, isikhathi sokuvuselelwa, kanye nesivinini sokugeleza kwesithambisi samanzi.

3. Izinzuzo

Ukuvimbela isikali: ukunciphisa ngempumelelo ukunqwabelana kwesikali emapayipini, kuma-water heater, nakweminye imishini.

Thuthukisa umphumela wokuwasha: Amanzi athambile angancibilikisa kangcono insipho yokuwasha noma insipho, okuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokuhlanza.

Yandisa isikhathi sokuphila kwemishini: Nciphisa ukugqwala kwemishini ngezinga futhi wandise isikhathi sayo sokusebenza.

Ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yamanzi: ukwenza amanzi athambile futhi afanele abantu abanesikhumba esibucayi.

4. Izinkambu Zohlelo Lokusebenza

Okuyinhloko esetshenziswa emanzini okuphakelayo ebhoyila yezimboni,I-air conditioner,amanzi okupholisa izimonyo zombhoshongo, amanzi okucubungula ukudla, njll.
