Uyini umehluko phakathi kwedamu lokubhukuda lamanzi anosawoti kanye nechibi elivamile lokubhukuda eline-chlorine?
Amachibi okubhukuda ayindlela enhle yokuphola ehlobo noma ukuzivocavoca okungenamthelela omncane. Kunezinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko zamachibi okubhukuda: amanzi anosawoti kanye ne-chlorine. Amachibi okubhukuda amanzi anosawoti asethandwa kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva nje, njengoba kuthiwa ayindlela enempilo futhi enobungani nemvelo esikhundleni samachibi endabuko e-chlorine. Nokho, abantu abaningi basadidekile ngomehluko phakathi kwalokhu okubili.
Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi zombili izinhlobo zechibi zidinga uhlobo oluthile lwe-chlorine ukuze kugcinwe amazinga afanele okukhucululwa kwendle. Umehluko omkhulu usekutheni leyo chlorine ilethwa kanjani echibini. Echibini le-chlorine yendabuko, i-chlorine yengezwa emanzini ngesandla. Lokhu kungenziwa ngezindlela eziningi, njengokusebenzisa amaphilisi e-chlorine, ama-granules, noma uketshezi. Inani le-chlorine elidingekayo lizoncika kubukhulu bechibi kanye nenani lababhukudi. I-Chlorine iyisibulala-magciwane esisebenzayo, kodwa ingaba nokhahlo esikhumbeni nasemehlweni, futhi inephunga elihlukile abantu abaningi abalithola lingemnandi.
Echibini lamanzi anosawoti, i-chlorine ikhiqizwa ngenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-electrolysis. Lokhu kufezwa ngokungeza usawoti (i-sodium chloride) emanzini echibi, abese edluliswa ngeseli ye-electrolysis. Ugesi ovela esitokisini uhlephula usawoti ezingxenyeni zawo (i-sodium ne-chlorine). I-chlorine ekhiqizwa ngale ndlela ithambile kakhulu kune-chlorine esetshenziswa emachibini endabuko, futhi izinzile, okusho ukuthi ihlala isikhathi eside emanzini. Ukwengeza, amachibi amanzi anosawoti adinga ukulungiswa okuncane kunamachibi endabuko, njengoba amazinga e-chlorine kulula ukuwaqapha nokulawula.
Kunezinzuzo eziningi zokusebenzisa ichibi lamanzi anosawoti. Kokunye, amanzi athambile futhi anokhahlo esikhumbeni nasemahlweni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi amanzi anosawoti anenani eliphansi lamakhemikhali kunamachibi endabuko e-chlorine. Ukwengeza, amachibi amanzi anosawoti angcono endaweni ezungezile, njengoba ekhiqiza amakhemikhali ambalwa ayingozi kanye nemfucuza. Kulula futhi ukuzinakekela, njengoba amazinga e-chlorine azinzile futhi abikezelwa.
Kodwa-ke, kukhona okungahambi kahle ekusebenziseni ichibi lamanzi anosawoti. Kokukodwa, kungabiza kakhulu ukuyifaka nokuyigcina kunamachibi endabuko e-chlorine. Izindleko zokuqala zohlelo lwamanzi anosawoti zingaba phezulu, futhi uhlelo lungadinga ukunakekelwa okwengeziwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Ukwengeza, abanye abantu bathola ukunambitheka kwamanzi anosawoti njengento engathandeki, futhi usawoti ungalimaza imishini ethile ye-pool ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
