Ilaphu elingalukwanga elimhlophe luhlobo lwelaphu elingalukwanga elenziwe ngokudityaniswa kwefayibha okanye ukusetyenzwa ngoomatshini, elineempawu ezininzi ezintle kunye neempawu, ngolu hlobo lulandelayo:
1. Ukufunxa kakuhle kwamanzi kunye nokuphefumla, kunokusetyenziswa ukwenza iimveliso zococeko kunye nempahla evalelekileyo;
2. Amandla aphezulu, ukuqina okuphezulu, kunye nokumelana nokunxiba, kunokusetyenziswa ukwenza izixhobo zokucoca, izinto zokupakisha, kunye neemveliso zoshishino;
3. Ukufana okuhle, ukuhanjiswa okuhambelanayo kweentsinga, akukho miba efana neziphelo zomsonto, ukwaphuka, kunye neebhola zefiber, zenza imveliso egqityiweyo ibe nomtsalane ngakumbi;
4. Ayinatyhefu kwaye ayinavumba, ayinabungozi kokusingqongileyo kwaye ayingcoliseki, iyabolisa, kwaye iyahlangabezana neemfuno zophuhliso oluzinzileyo.
Ilaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga libaluleke kakhulu kwicandelo lezonyango njengento engenazintsholongwane, engangenwa luthuli, nephefumlayo. Umzekelo, ukupakishwa kwezinto zonyango, iimaski, iigawuni zotyando, njl.njl kwigumbi lokusebenza zonke zenziwe ngelaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga. Xa kuthelekiswa nezinto zemveli zekotoni, amalaphu amhlophe angalukwanga awabangeli ukuchasana nomzimba womntu, ukunciphisa ithuba lokunxibelelana nezifo ezosulelayo kunye nokuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwabasebenzi bezonyango kunye nezigulana.
Ukusetyenziswa kwelaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga kwishishini lasekhaya liya lisanda kakhulu. Umzekelo, xa sihlala sisebenzisa iimveliso zococeko ezifana neetawuli zobuso, iiwipe ezimanzi, kunye neepads zokukhathalela, zonke zenziwe ngelaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga. Ilaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga aligcini nje ngokuba nokufunxa kakuhle kwamanzi, kodwa likwathambile kwaye likhululekile, likwenza kube lula kwaye kucoceke ukusetyenziswa. Ukongeza, ilaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga lingasetyenziselwa ukwenza izinto zasekhaya ezinje ngoomatrasi, amaphephadonga, iikhethini, njl.
Ukusetyenziswa kwelaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga kwibala lolwakhiwo liya lisanda. Umzekelo, izinto zokuhombisa udonga, izinto zokungangeni manzi, izixhobo zokugquma isandi, njl. Zonke zenziwe ngelaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga. Ilaphu elimhlophe elingalukwanga linamandla omatshini kunye nokungangeni kwamanzi, okunokuthi kuxhathise ngokufanelekileyo umonakalo wangaphandle wokusingqongileyo kunye nokuqinisekisa ukusetyenziswa kwexesha elide lezakhiwo.
Ngokubanzi, amalaphu amhlophe angalukwanga anoluhlu olubanzi lwezicelo kwaye anokusetyenziswa kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo ezifana nokhathalelo lwempilo, impahla yasekhaya, kunye nolwakhiwo. Iimpawu zayo ezibalaseleyo kunye nokusebenza kuyenza ibe nethemba elibanzi lesicelo kwiinkalo ezahlukeneyo.
1. Imibala eyahlukeneyo. Amalaphu anemibala angalukwanga anemibala eyahlukahlukeneyo, kwaye amalaphu amhlophe angalukwanga luhlobo nje olumhlophe.
2. Umgangatho wahlukile. Amalaphu amhlophe angalukwanga awayi kuphela, lo gama amalaphu amibalabala aqhelekileyo angalukwanga akanakuthintelwa ngokukhuselekileyo ukuba aphele.
