An Dearadh

Maidir le Arc Príomhfheidhm: Flossóir Uisce Cithfholcadáin

Téacs Leabhair: Is flossóir uisce cithfholcadáin é ARC atá deartha le luí isteach i ngnáthamh laethúil an chithfholcadáin. Ceanglaíonn ARC leis an fheadán cithfholcadáin agus úsáideann sé an brú uisce atá ann cheana féin, mar sin ní theastaíonn leictreachas ná ceallraí uaidh. Coinníonn an hanla ceann sruth uisce ceithre bhealach inathraithe a ghlanann idir na fiacla agus feadh líne na drandail. Ceadaíonn trí shocrú inchoigeartaithe sreabhadh uisce séimh nó níos láidre, agus athraíonn cnaipe ilfheidhmeach idir na sruthanna uisce. Coinníonn stáisiún stórála dlúth, dionaithe ó thaisleach, le ceangal maighnéadach, ARC ina áit nuair nach mbíonn sé in úsáid.
