Dira se jaanong¶

Fa o utlwa modumo o o sa itsegeng wa go lela mo teng ga lebota, o utlwa lefelo le le bothitho le le sa tlhalosiweng mo thaeleng ya gago kgotsa mo bodilong jwa logong lo lo thata, o bona pente ya baseboard e tlhotlhorega, kgotsa o amogela sekoloto se segolo sa metsi gone jaanong, diragatsa dikgato tseno tse thataro tsa go tlhatlhoba le go thibela bolwetse ka bonako:

1. Tima pompo NNGWE le NNGWE, shawara, sediriswa sa go dira aese, motšhini o o tlhatswang, le sebalanako sa go nosetsa mo ntlong, o bo o tsamaela kwa Mmithareng wa gago wa Metsi: O se ka wa tlhatswa matlwana ape kgotsa wa tsamaisa metsi ape. Bula lebokoso la gago la metara ya metsi (e ka nna mo kamoreng e e kwa tlase/phaposi ya ditirelo mo maemong a bosa a a tsididi kgotsa ka fa tlase ga sekhurumetso sa tshipi/konkoreite gaufi le tsela ya mmila o o kwa pele mo maemong a bosa a a bothitho) mme o phimole lense ya galase go nna phepa.
2. Lebelela khutlotharo e nnye e khibidu/selefera/ntsho ya "Sesupo sa go dutla ga kelelo e e kwa tlase" kgotsa kere mo sefatlhegong sa mmitara wa metsi metsotswana e le 60: Mmitara mongwe le mongwe wa segompieno wa metsi o na le leotwana le le nnye la sesupo sa kelelo e e kwa tlase (khutlotharo e nnye e khibidu, naledi ya selefera, kgotsa daele e nnye ya go feela) e e dikologang ka motsotso.03b. gallons per minute)** of water is moving through the meter. If all fixtures in the house are off and that small triangle is spinning continuously, you have an active pressurized water leak.
3. Dira Teko ya go Itlhaola ya "Ntlo kgatlhanong le Jarata" ya Metsotso e le 2 ka go tswala Belefo ya go Tswala ya Ntlo e Kgolo ya gago ya ka fa teng: Tsamaela kwa peipi e kgolo ya metsi e tsenang teng mo ntlong ya gago (lebota la kamore e e kwa tlase, karatšhe, tlolosete ya ditirelo, kgotsa tsela ya kwa ntle ya hose bib riser) mme o retolole Ntlo e Kgolo Vve Shut the all. Walk back to the street water meter and look at the low-flow triangle:
4. Fa khutlotharo ya metara e EMISETSE go dikologa: Go dutla go mo teng ga ntlo ya gago kgotsa ka fa tlase ga letlapa la gago la motheo wa konkoreite (kwa tlase ga belefo ya ntlo).
5. If the meter triangle KEEPS spinning: The leak is buried outside in your front yard between the street meter and the house wall (underground sprinkler main rupture, backflow preventer burst, and yard sinkhole).
6. Fa e le gore go dutla go mo teng ga ntlo kgotsa ka fa tlase ga letlapa, tswala Belofo ya go Tsena ga Metsi a a Tsididi mo godimo ga Sethuthafatsi sa gago sa Metsi go leka Hot vs. Cold: Ka belefo e kgolo ya ntlo e butswe gape ka nakwana mme mmitara o dikologa, tsamaela kwa Sethuthafatsi sa Metsi a a Tsididi sa gago mme o tobetse **Supple Water-al gotlhelele TIMA. Tlhola mmitara wa metsi gape:
7. Fa mmitara o EMISE go dikologa (le modumo wa go tlhotlhora o emisitswe): Go dutla go mo Peiping ya Metsi a a Bolelo (gantsi ke loop ya manifold e e bolelo e e ka fa tlase ga letlapa). Tlogela FELA belofo ya go tsenya sethuthafatsi sa metsi e tswetswe (mme o time dithuthafatsi tsa metsi tsa motlakase kwa breaker kgotsa dithuthafatsi tsa metsi tsa gase go PILOT/OFF) gore o kgone go boloka metsi a a tsididi a elela kwa matlwaneng a gago le kwa disinking go fitlha radiphaephe a goroga.
8. Fa mmitara o NNA o dikologa: Go dutla go mo Peiping ya Metsi a a Tsididi; close the main house water shutoff valve to stop structural flooding.
9. Pele ga o sega mo drywall epe e e metsi kgotsa o ama siling e e metsi, tima dithubi tsa motlakase tsa kgaolo eo ya lebota: Go dutla ga kopore ya pinhole e e nang le kgatelelo mo teng ga lebota le le ka fa teng go gasa metsi ka tlhamalalo go kgabaganya megala ya motlakase e e seng ya tshipi (Romex), le boxe ya kgolaganomolelo wa motlakase le ditlhase). Tima dithubi tsa sekete tsa lekala kwa phaneleng ya gago e kgolo pele ga o tlhotlhomisa lebota le le omileng le le metsi kgotsa o bofolola dipolata tsa sefatlhego tse di metsi tsa go tswa.
10. Bora lesoba la go ntsha metsi la dimilimitara di le 6 (¼-inch) kwa ntlheng e e kwa tlase thata ya leroba la pente le le tlhotlhoregang kgotsa siling e e tlhotlhoregang mo godimo ga kgamelo: Fa metsi a tshwaregile ka fa morago ga pente ya lebota la latex (e bopa balunu e e bokete, e e tletseng metsi ya latex) kgotsa go phunya balunu ya latex e e bokete mo godimo ga bucket so the water drains in a controlled stream rather than collapsing the entire sheet of wet gypsum drywall (ceiling collapse, waterlogged drywall, and plaster sagging hazard).
