1. Qonda umgangatho wamanzi akho: Phambi kokuthenga isicoci samanzi, kubalulekile ukwazi umgangatho wamanzi akho etephu. Fumana ingxelo yobulunga bamanzi kumboneleli wamanzi wengingqi yakho okanye wenze uvavanyo lwamanzi ukuchonga nakuphi na ungcoliseko oluthile okanye ukungcola ekufuneka kuqwalaselwe.

2. Chonga iimfuno zakho: Iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokucoca amanzi zibonelela ngeemfuno ezahlukeneyo. Qinisekisa ukuba yeyiphi into engcolileyo ofuna ukuyisusa emanzini akho, njengeklorini, isinyithi esinzima, ibhaktheriya, okanye izitshabalalisi. Oku kuya kukunceda ukhethe uhlobo olufanelekileyo lwesicoci esihambelana neemfuno zakho.

3. Phanda ngeentlobo ezahlukeneyo zezicoci zamanzi: Kukho iindidi ezahlukeneyo zokucoca amanzi ezikhoyo, kubandakanywa izihluzo zekhabhoni ezisebenzayo, iinkqubo ze-osmosis ezibuyela emuva, izicoci ze-UV, kunye neeyunithi ze-distillation. Nganye ineengenelo zayo kunye nemida yayo. Phanda kwaye uqonde izinto ezilungileyo kunye nezibi zohlobo ngalunye ukwenza isigqibo esinolwazi.

4. Qwalasela ugcino kunye nokutshintshwa kwesihluzo: Ukugcinwa rhoqo kunye nokutshintshwa kwesihluzo kubalulekile ekusebenzeni ngokufanelekileyo kwezicoci zamanzi. Khangela izihluzi ezinezihluzi ezinokutshintsheka ngokulula kwaye uqwalasele iindleko kunye nokufumaneka kwezihluzo ezitshintshileyo phambi kokuba uthenge.

5. Khangela iziqinisekiso: Khangela izicoci zamanzi eziqinisekisiweyo yimibutho ehloniphekileyo efana ne-NSF International okanye i-Water Quality Association. Ezi ziqinisekiso ziqinisekisa ukuba umcoci uhlangabezana nemigangatho ethile kwaye ususa ngokufanelekileyo ungcoliseko oluthile.

6. Thelekisa amaxabiso kunye neziqinisekiso: Thelekisa amaxabiso kunye neziqinisekiso zezicoci zamanzi ezohlukeneyo ukuze ufumane elona xabiso lilungileyo lemali yakho. Qwalasela iindleko zokuqala, iintlawulo zofakelo (ukuba zikhona), kunye neendleko zolondolozo lwexesha elide.

7. Iimfuno zofakelo kunye nendawo: Qwalasela inkqubo yofakelo kunye neemfuno zendawo yesicoci samanzi. Abanye abacoci banokufuna ukufakwa kobuchwephesha, ngelixa ezinye zinokufakwa ngokulula ngabaninikhaya. Qinisekisa ukuba unendawo eyaneleyo kunye noqhagamshelo oluyimfuneko lwemibhobho yomcoci.

8. Funda uphononongo lwabathengi kunye neereyithingi: Funda uphononongo lwabathengi be-intanethi kunye nemilinganiselo yeemodeli zokucoca amanzi oziqwalaselayo. Oku kunokubonelela ngeembono ezixabisekileyo ekusebenzeni, ukuqina, kunye namanqanaba okwaneliseka kwabathengi beempawu ezahlukeneyo kunye neemodeli.

9. Qwalasela ukusebenza kakuhle kwamandla: Khangela izicoci zamanzi ezonga amandla ombane ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kombane. Iimodeli eziqinisekisiweyo ze-Energy Star ziyindlela efanelekileyo njengoko zihlangabezana nemigangatho ethile yokusebenza kwamandla.

10. Funa ingcebiso yobuchwephesha ukuba iyafuneka: Ukuba awuqinisekanga malunga nokuba sesiphi isicoci samanzi onokuthi usikhethe okanye unenkxalabo ethile malunga nomgangatho wakho wamanzi, cinga ngokufuna iingcebiso kwingcali yokucoca amanzi. Banokubonelela ngeengcebiso ezenzelwe wena ngokusekwe kwiimfuno zakho.

Khumbula, ukutyala imali kwisicoci samanzi esilungileyo kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni impilo kunye nokhuseleko losapho lwakho, ke thatha ixesha lakho uphande kwaye wenze isigqibo esinolwazi.
