Eyona nto iphambili, isixhobo sokuhambisa amanzi senzelwe ukwenza ukufumana amanzi kube lula kangangoko kunokwenzeka. Nokuba yikomityi eshushu yeti kusasa okubandayo, iglasi yamanzi abandayo ahlaziyayo ngemini eshushu, okanye ukusela nje rhoqo ukuze uhlale unamanzi, ezi matshini zihambisa amanzi kubushushu obufanelekileyo ngokucofa iqhosha nje. Akusekho kulinda ukuba iketile ibile okanye ukujongana nobunzima bokugcwalisa rhoqo iibhotile zamanzi kwimpompo.​

Enye yezona nzuzo zibalulekileyo zezi zixhobo zokuhambisa amanzi zikwiingenelo zazo zempilo. Iimodeli ezininzi zanamhlanje zixhotyiswe ngeenkqubo zokucoca eziphambili, ezifana ne-reverse osmosis, izihluzi zekhabhoni, okanye ukubulala iintsholongwane nge-ultraviolet. Ezi teknoloji zisusa ngokufanelekileyo ukungcola, ukungcola, kunye neentsholongwane eziyingozi emanzini, ziqinisekisa ukuba ithontsi ngalinye olisebenzisayo licocekile kwaye likhuselekile. Ngokususa isidingo samanzi asebhotileni, anokuba neekhemikhali zeplastiki ezifana ne-BPA, izixhobo zokuhambisa amanzi nazo zinegalelo kwindlela yokuphila esempilweni.

Ngokwembono yokusingqongileyo, izixhobo zokuhambisa amanzi zitshintsha kakhulu. Ingxaki yongcoliseko lweplastiki kwihlabathi liphela ifikelele kwinqanaba elimangalisayo, apho iibhiliyoni zeebhotile zamanzi zeplastiki ziphelela kwiindawo zokulahla inkunkuma, iilwandle, nakwezinye iindawo zendalo zokuhlala minyaka le. Ukukhetha isixhobo sokuhambisa amanzi kunciphisa kakhulu inkunkuma yeplastiki, njengoko kukuvumela ukuba usebenzise iibhotile okanye iikomityi ezinokusetyenziswa kwakhona. Ezinye iimodeli zixhasa neejagi ezinkulu zamanzi ezinokuzaliswa kwakhona, nto leyo enciphisa ngakumbi impembelelo yokusingqongileyo.

Izixhobo zokuhambisa amanzi zikwabonelela ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza. Kukho iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ezikhoyo kwimarike, ezihlangabezana neemfuno ezahlukeneyo kunye nezinto ezikhethwayo. Iimodeli ze-countertop zilungele iindawo ezincinci okanye amakhaya, zibonelela ngesisombululo esincinci ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa lula. Iimodeli ezizimeleyo, kwelinye icala, zilungele iiofisi okanye amakhaya amakhulu, zibonelela ngomthamo ophezulu wokugcina amanzi kwaye zihlala zineendlela zamanzi ashushu nabandayo. Ukongeza, ezinye iimodeli eziphambili ziza neempawu ezongezelelweyo ezifana nokusebenza ngaphandle kokuchukumisa, izitshixo zokhuseleko lwabantwana, kunye neempawu zomgangatho wamanzi ezakhelwe ngaphakathi.

Nangona kunjalo, njengayo nayiphi na isixhobo, ukugcinwa kakuhle kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni ukuba isixhobo sakho sokuhambisa amanzi sihlala ixesha elide kwaye sisebenza kakuhle. Ukucoca rhoqo kunye nokutshintshwa kwesihluzo kubalulekile ukuthintela ukwakheka kweebhaktheriya kunye nokugcina umgangatho wamanzi usemgangathweni. Uninzi lwabavelisi lubonelela ngezikhokelo zokugcinwa ezineenkcukacha, ekufuneka zilandelwe ngenkuthalo.​

Ukuqukumbela, izitya zokuhambisa amanzi zingaphezulu kakhulu kunendlela elula yokufumana amanzi. Zityala imali kwimpilo yethu, kwindalo esingqongileyo, nakumgangatho wobomi bethu ngokubanzi. Ngenxa yokulula kokusetyenziswa kwazo, ubuchule bazo bokucoca obuphambili, kunye neempawu ezinobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo, zifumene indawo yazo njengesixhobo esibalulekileyo kumakhaya nakwiindawo zokusebenza zanamhlanje. Ngoko ke, kwixesha elizayo xa usela kwisitya sakho sokuhambisa amanzi, thatha umzuzu wokuqonda eli gorha lingazange lidunyiswe elenza ukuhlala umanzi kube lula.​
