Tērā pea ka whiwhi mātou i ngā komihana mai i ngā hononga kei runga i tēnei whārangi, engari ko ngā hua anake ka whakahokia mai e mātou ka tūtohu mātou. He aha ai koe ka whakawhirinaki ai ki a mātou?
Kaua e hoha ki tēnei hoko mea nui mō te kari me te māra – engari, hokohoko i ngā taunakitanga matua a ā mātou tohunga.
Ka taea e koe te hoko i tētahi ngongo māra mō te $15, tekau rānei ngā wā o taua utu. Ina whakaarohia te mahi taketake o te ngongo—te kawe wai mai i te taputapu ki te pūwero kia taea ai e koe te whakamakuku i te tarutaru, te horoi i te motuka, te whakamakuku rānei i ngā tamariki i te ahiahi raumati wera—he ngāwari te whiriwhiri i te kōwhiringa iti rawa te utu. Engari i muri i te whakamātautau i ngā momo ngongo māra, i kitea e ngā tohunga i te Good Housekeeping Institute he rerekētanga nui i roto i te mahi, te ngāwari o te whakamahi me te roa. Ahakoa ko tā mātou whiringa matua te mea tino utu nui, ko ētahi atu kōwhiringa utu iti he rite tonu te mahi, ā, he pai ake pea, i runga i tō āhuatanga.
Hei whiwhi i tēnei whakarāpopototanga toa, neke atu i te 20 hāora te roa o te arotake a ā mātou tohunga i ngā raraunga hangarau, te kohikohi i ngā ngongo me te whakamātautau i a rātou i tō mātou wāhi whakamātautau o muri. I whakapā atu hoki mātou ki ngā tohunga whenua kua mahi ki ngā ngongo. "He rerekē ngā hiahia o ia māra, nō reira me whiriwhiri e koe tō ngongo kia rite ki tēnā," te kī a Jim Russell, he kaiako māra, he kaihanga māra hoki e mahi ana i te Tai Rāwhiti.
I arotahi ā mātou whakamātautau ā-ringa ki te whakamahinga, tae atu ki te ngāwari o te hono i te ngongo ki te taputapu me te pūwero. I arotakehia hoki e ngā kaiwhakamātautau te ngāwari o te nekeneke, me te kite i te āhua o te piko, te ngatata rānei, me te ngāwari hoki o te piri o te ngongo i roto i te rokiroki. Ko te pakari te tuatoru o ngā paearu, ko te nuinga o ngā rauemi me te hanganga te mea nui. Hei whakamutunga, kua whiriwhiria e mātou e ono ngā ngongo māra pai rawa atu. Ehara i te mea he pai katoa mō ngā tono katoa, engari kei roto i te ranunga te ngongo māra tino pai mōu.
Mena he maha āu āhuatanga wai — tērā pea ka horapa puta noa i ngā māra huawhenua, ngā turanga, me ngā tipu tau maha — he haumitanga whakaaro nui te whakapau $100 ki tētahi ngongo māra, inā koa mēnā nō Dramm 50-waewae te rahi. He mea hanga ki te rapa tino pakari, ā, kua tu atu tēnei ngongo kore-whakaaro i ngā mahi kino katoa a ā mātou kaiwhakamātautau ki a ia: te oma, te kukume, te whakapataritari, tae noa ki te takahi i ngā hononga parahi whakakikoruatia ki te nikara (he tika te kereme "kāore e pēhi"). I roto i ā mātou whakamātautau whakamahinga, i whakaputa te ngongo 5/8″ i te pēhanga nui, he ngāwari ki te tāpiri ki ngā taputapu me ngā wahapū, ā, he ngāwari ki te wetewete me te huri anō. Engari kaua e pohehe, he nui ngā ngongo i roto i te marae te Dramam 10-pauna hei nohoanga. Heoi, he mea hanga mō te hunga e hiahia ana ki te whakainu me te horoi.
Koinei te ngongo māra iti rawa te utu i runga i tā mātou rārangi, ā, e ahua ana, mai i te hanganga winira, he māmā ake te piko (mai i te pouaka, he pai te miro i tetahi pito). He iti ake te pakari o ngā hononga kirihou i ngā hononga parahi totoka i runga i ngā ngongo kounga teitei. Heoi anō, i te wā i honoa ai e tā mātou tohunga te ngongo, ka rehuhia te wai ki te wāhi e hiahiatia ana. Ko te tikanga, nā te hoahoa ngoikore ka uaua ake te nekeneke, ā, kāore e pōkai pai pērā i ētahi atu ngongo. Heoi anō, ki te tiaki tika koe (kia kore e pāngia e te rā wera ka maroke, kaua hoki e taraiwa i tō waka ki runga), me hoatu he wā mahi mō ētahi wā me te kore e turuturu.
Ka whakamahia e ngā ngongo māra pupuhi te kaha o te wai e rere ana i roto i a rātou hei whakawhanui ki tōna roa katoa, kātahi ka whakawhāiti mō te rokiroki. He ātaahua pea te āhua, engari i miharo ā mātou tohunga ki te kounga whānui o tēnei putanga mai i Knoikos. Ina kore e whakamahia, ka whakawhāiti te ngongo 50-putu ki te 17 putu, ā, ka taea te takai hei paihere taro. Ko te Knoikos anake te ngongo kua whakamatauria e mātou me tana ake pūwero, he ngongo tino watea me te utu iti e hiahia ana mātou ki te kite mai i ētahi atu kaihanga. I roto i ā mātou whakamātautau, he maeneene te hononga, ā, he nui te mana i whakaputaina e te ngongo mā roto i ngā tautuhinga rehu tekau o te pūwero. Mō te hanganga, he pakari, he ātete hoki ki te waikura ngā hononga parahi totoka, ko te ngongo rapa he hoahoa mama, ngāwari hoki e taea ai te ātete i ngā pāmahana tae atu ki te 113 nekehanga Fahrenheit, e ai ki te kaihanga.
I toa te Flexzilla i te honore Best Overall i roto i ā mātou kaiwhakamātautau, ā, i whakawhiwhia te Dramam ki te whakataetae. He pai rawa ngā ngongo e rua, ā, ka taea e koe te penapena moni i runga i te Flexzilla me te iti o ngā taupatupatu. I tino pai ki ā mātou kaiwhakamātautau te hoahoa ergonomic o te Flexzilla, tae atu ki te mata pupuri nui me te mahi hurihuri i te hononga, e ārai ana i te piko me te ngāwari o te nekeneke i te ngongo. He mīharo te pēhanga wai, ahakoa he iti iho i te pēhanga. Kua tu atu te Flexzilla i ā mātou whakamātautau pakari, he kore mata te ngongo o roto mangu, ā, he haumaru mō te wai inu, he mea pai mena ka pupuri i a koe kia makuku i waho o te papa tarutaru, mena ka whakamahia e koe hei whakakī i te puna kaukau tamariki. Kotahi te ngoikoretanga iti: Ko te anga matomato motuhake i roto i ā mātou whakamātautau ka tere te poke, no reira kaua e tumanako ka āhua hou te ngongo.
I waenga i tōna hanganga maitai kore waikura me ngā hononga parahi totoka, i tutuki tēnei ngongo i a Bionic Billing i roto i ā mātou whakamātautau. Nā tōna pakari, he mama te ngongo 50-putu te roa, ā, he ngāwari ki te pupuri. Heoi, i kite ā mātou kaiwhakamātautau nā te mea he tino ngāwari te ngongo, he maha ake ngā wā ka herea atu i ētahi atu. Mō te mahi, he nui te pēhanga e tukuna ana e te ngongo ā-roto 5/8″, ā, pērā i te Knoikos, he pūwero anō tōna. Ahakoa kāore e taea e mātou te whakaū i tēnei kereme, e whakanui ana a Bionic i tōna ātete ki te huarere tino kino, tae atu ki te pāmahana i raro i te kore. I runga i ā mātou wheako kē atu ki te maitai kore waikura 304 (te rauemi mō te ngongo), ko te tumanako ka tutuki i a ia ngā whakaritenga, ka waiho hei whiringa pai mō te whakamahi i te tau katoa i roto i ngā āhuarangi makariri (kia tino mohio kei a koe he taputapu ārai huka, ki te kore ka pakaru pea tō paipa).
Mena he iti noa iho ō hiahia whakainu – te whakainu i te māra ipu i runga i te tuanui, te kaukau rānei i tō kurī i te papa o muri – he pai te whakamahi i te ngongo kopikopiko. I miharo ā mātou tohunga ki tēnei putanga kikorangi kanapa o te HoseCoil, e tīmata ana i te 10 inihi te roa, ā, ka toro atu ki te 15 putu ina tino toro atu. Neke atu i te pauna te taumaha, ā, he tino maha ngā whakamahinga, he mea pai mena me kawe e koe i roto i tō RV, i te tauranga rānei ki te horoi i tō poti. Mā te hanganga polyurethane ka taea te hanga i tētahi hoahoa ngāwari, māmā, engari i roto i ā mātou wheako ki ngā rauemi polyurethane, kāore pea te HoseCoil e roa rite ki ngā ngongo kē atu i roto i tā mātou kohikohinga. Kāore hoki te whare 3/8″ e hanga i te pēhanga nui pērā i ētahi atu whiringa pai. Engari mō te utu, e whakaaro tonu ana ā mātou tohunga he uara pai mō ō hiahia whakainu māmā.
Ka rangahau tuatahi ā mātou tohunga i te mākete o nāianei hei whakatau ko tēhea ngongo māra ka kitea pea e koe i ngā whata toa me te ipurangi. Kua tekau tau mātou e whakamātautau ana i ngā hua o te kari me te papa tarutaru, nō reira e rapu ana mātou i ngā waitohu kua whakamātauhia te mahi.
I whakahaerehia ngā whakamātautau ā-ringa i roto i ngā kāinga o ngā kaiwhakamātautau rerekē, ā, nā tēnei i taea ai e mātou te aromatawai i te ngongo i roto i ngā āhuatanga o te ao tūturu. I te arotakenga o ngā tauira motuhake, ka pau i ā mātou kaihangarau me ngā kaiwhakamātautau hua neke atu i te 12 hāora ki te arotake i ngā rau o ngā raraunga hangarau me te mahi, tae atu ki ngā rahi o te ngongo, ngā rauemi (tae atu ki ngā kereme kore-mata), te ātete pāmahana, me ētahi atu.
Kātahi ka whakahaerehia e mātou he raupapa whakamātautau ki te ngongo mō ētahi atu haora 12. Hei ine i te ngāwari o te whakamahi, i honoa e mātou ia ngongo ki te taputapu matua me te pūwero i ngā wā maha, me te tohu i ngā hononga uaua, i ngā tohu rānei o te pirau. I ine anō hoki mātou i te ngāwari o te nekeneke, arā, te ngāwari o te wetewete me te huri i ia ngongo, me te mea kua puta he piko. Ko te mahi e whakawhirinaki ana ki te tere rere me te kaha rehu, ma te whakamahi i te pūwero kotahi mō ia rehu. Hei whakatau i te pakari, i tōia tonutia e mātou ia ngongo puta noa i ngā mata taratara, tae atu ki ngā taha o ngā pou pereki me ngā kaupae whakarewa; me te whakamahi i te pēhanga me te koki kotahi, i tirohia e mātou ngā tohu tōmua o te pakaru o te whare. I tirotirohia e mātou ngā ngongo me ngā taputapu, ā, i eke mātou ki runga i aua mea me ngā potae pahikara me ngā wira rakau hei whakarite kia kore e pakaru, e pakaru rānei.
Ko tā mātou whakamātautau pakari he kukume i te ngongo ki runga i te kokonga koi o te pou pereki i te koki me te pēhanga kotahi.
I rapua hoki e ngā kaiwhakamātautau ngā tohu o ngā piko, nā te mea ka aukati i te rere o te wai, ā, ka taea hoki te arahi ki te ngatata wawe.
Hei kimi i te ngongo māra pai rawa atu mō ō hiahia, whakaarohia te rahi o te whare me te nui o te whakamahinga me te tukinotanga o te ngongo.✔️Roa: Ko te roa o ngā ngongo māra mai i te 5 putu ki te neke atu i te 100 putu. Ko te rahi o tō whare te mea nui hei whakatau. Inehia mai i te taputapu o waho ki te wāhi tawhiti rawa atu o te māra e hiahia ana kia whakamakukuhia; kia mahara, ka kohia e koe te iti rawa 10 putu te tawhiti atu i te rehu ngongo. Ko te pouri nui e rangona ana e mātou mai i ngā kaihoko ko tā rātou hoko i te maha rawa o ngā ngongo. "He nui ake te mamae o te ngongo taumaha, roa rawa rānei i te ngahau," e kī ana te māra ngaio a Jim Russell. "Pupurihia te ngongo ka pātai ki a koe anō mēnā kei te hiahia koe ki te kawe haere."
✔️ Diameter: Ka pā te diameter o te ngongo ki te nui o te wai ka taea te rere mā roto. Ko te whānuitanga o ngā ngongo māra mai i te 3/8″ ki te 6/8″ inihi. Ka taea e te ngongo whānui te neke i te wai kia maha ngā wā i roto i te wā kotahi, he mea tino āwhina mō te horoi. Ka whakaratohia hoki he tawhiti atu i runga i te rehu kia taea ai e koe te mawhiti me te ngongo poto ake. ✔️Rauemi: Ka pā tēnei āhuatanga ki te utu, te wātea me te roa o te whakamahinga o te ngongo. Anei ngā kōwhiringa tino noa:
Me tīmata tātou mā te kōrero mō te huarahi hē ki te penapena i ngā ngongo – kei roto i te paru i raro i te taputapu. Ka nui ake te pakaru o te ngongo, ā, ka huri hei tūponotanga hinga. Hei tāpiri, he mea whakarihariha ki te titiro. "Kāore tetahi e hiahia ki te titiro ki te ngongo, nō reira, ko te ngāwari o te tango atu, ko te pai ake," te kī a te māra ngaio a Jim Russell. He pai ake ki a ia ngā kete ngongo ka taea te whakahoki, pērā i tēnei putanga mai i Frontgate. "I ngaro te ngongo, ā, he mea whakamīharo te penapena atu," tana kī. Ko te whakairi ngongo, ahakoa he mea whakairi ki te pakitara, he mea tū motuhake rānei, he otinga utu nui ake hei pupuri i tō ngongo kia whakaritea, kia kore e raru, ahakoa kei te kitea tonu. Ko ētahi whakairi he tikanga porotaka hei āwhina i te takai me te wetewete, he mea āwhina mēnā he ngongo roa tōu e 75 putu neke atu rānei. Ki te kore, ka taea e te whakairi ā-ringa te mahi mō te $10 noa iho.
Kei te Good Housekeeping Institute Home Improvement Lab ngā ​​arotake me ngā tohutohu a ngā tohunga mō ngā mea katoa e pā ana ki te kāinga, tae atu ki ngā taputapu kari me te māra. Hei Kaiwhakahaere o ngā Whare Whakapaipai me ngā Taiwhanga o Waho, neke atu i te 20 tau o te wheako o Dan DiClerico ki te whare wānanga, e arotake ana i ngā mano tini o ngā hua Good Housekeeping, tae atu ki ngā waitohu pēnei i a This Old House me Consumer Reports. I whakamahia anō hoki e ia ngā momo ngongo māra i roto i ngā tau, e tiaki ana i te papa me te māra o muri o tōna kāinga i Brooklyn.
Mō tēnei pūrongo, i mahi tahi a Dan me Rachel Rothman, te Kaihangarau Matua o te Whare Wānanga me te Kaiwhakahaere Hangarau. Neke atu i te 15 tau a Rachel e whakamahi ana i ana whakangungu i roto i te hangarau miihini me te pāngarau tono mā te rangahau, te whakamātautau, me te tuhituhi mō ngā hua i roto i te ao whakapaipai kāinga.
