1. "Vala iminyango namawindi". Esimweni sezulu esibandayo, ikakhulukazi ebusuku, vala amawindi emakamelweni anezinsiza zokuphakela amanzi, njengamabhalkhoni, amakhishi nezindlu zangasese, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izinga lokushisa langaphakathi lingaphezu kuka-zero degrees Celsius.

2. "Chitha amanzi". Uma ungekho ekhaya isikhathi eside, ungavala i-Isango valve use imitha lamanzi ngaphambi kokushiya ikhaya ukuyokhipha amanzi ompompi epayipini

3. "gqoka izingubo nezigqoko". Amapayipi ahlinzekwa ngamanzi, ompompi nezinye izindawo zokuhambisa amanzi kufanele zisongwe ngezindwangu zikakotini nezelineni, amagwebu epulasitiki nezinye izinto zokwambathisa ezishisayo. Umthombo wamanzi ongaphandle kufanele ugcwaliswe ngothuli, uboya bekotini noma ezinye izinto ezishisayo zokumboza, zimbozwe ngendwangu yepulasitiki, nesembozo sebhokisi lemitha lamanzi kufanele simbozwe, esingavimbela ngempumeleloimitha lamanzi futhi i-valve yesango kusuka ekubandeni. Uma imitha yamanzi ifakiwe ephaseji, sicela unake ukuvala umnyango wephaseji.

4. "Ukuncibilika okufudumele". Okompompi, amamitha wamanzi, kanyeamapayipi ezifriziwe, ungazihlambi ngamanzi ashisayo noma uzibhake ngomlilo, ngaphandle kwalokho amamitha wamanzi azokonakala. Kunconywa ukuthi usonge ithawula elishisayo ompompi kuqala, bese uthele amanzi afudumele ukukhipha umpompi, bese uvula ipayipi, bese uthela amanzi afudumele eceleni kompompi kancane epayipini ukuze ukhiphe ipayipi. Uma ithelwa emitha lamanzi, awasekho amanzi aphumayo, okukhombisa ukuthi imitha yamanzi nayo iqandisiwe. Ngalesi sikhathi, bopha imitha yamanzi ngethawula elishisayo bese ulithela ngamanzi afudumele (angabi ngaphezu kwama-30 degrees Celsius) ukukhipha imitha yamanzi.
