1. UkuHamba okuZinzile:Iimpompo zombhobho zibonelela ngokuzinza kokuphuma kwamanzi. Ngexesha lokusebenza, bagcina ireyithi yokuhanjiswa kolwelo ngokuthe gqolo ngokusekwe kwiimfuno zenkqubo. Olu phawu lubalulekile kwiinkqubo ezininzi ezifuna uzinzo lokuhamba okuphezulu, okufana neentshukumo eziqhubekayo kwimveliso yeekhemikhali kunye nokulungiswa kwezithako ekusetyenzweni kokutya. Ukuhamba okuzinzile kunceda ekuqinisekiseni iinkqubo zemveliso ezihambelanayo kunye nomgangatho wemveliso ozinzile.
2. Uluhlu olubanzi lwentloko:Iimpompo zombhobho zinika uluhlu olubanzi lweentloko, ezivumela ukhetho ukuba luhambelane neemeko ezahlukeneyo zesicelo kunye neemfuno zenkqubo. Ukususela-kwintloko esezantsi yonikezelo lwamanzi ngokubanzi kunye nezicelo zokuhambisa amanzi ukuya kwizicelo eziphezulu-ezifana nokuhanjiswa kwamanzi{3}}umgama omde kunye{4}}nonikezelo lwamanzi aphezulu, kukho iimpompo ezifanelekileyo ezikhoyo. Umzekelo, kwisixokelelwano sonikezelo lwamanzi kwisakhiwo esiphakamileyo{6}}, impompo yombhobho ephezulu{7}}entloko inokuhambisa amanzi ngokutyibilikayo kumgangatho ngamnye, ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zamanzi zabasebenzisi.
3. UkuSebenza okuPhezulu kunye nokuGcinwa kwamandla:Iimpompo zemibhobho yanamhlanje ziyilwe kwaye zenziwe kucingwa ngolondolozo lwamandla. Ukusebenzisa imifuziselo yehydraulic ephezulu kunye{1}}neemotor ezisebenza ngokufanelekileyo, iimpompo zemibhobho zifezekisa ukuguqulwa kwamandla okusebenza kakuhle ngexesha lokusebenza, ukunciphisa ngokufanelekileyo ukusetyenziswa kwamandla. Xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iimpompo zesiqhelo, iimpompo zemibhobho zinokusebenzisa umbane omncinci ngelixa zifezekisa umsebenzi ofanayo wothutho, ngaloo ndlela zigcina iindleko zokusebenza kubasebenzisi kunye nokuhlangabezana neemfuno zoluntu lwanamhlanje zogcino lwamandla kunye nokunciphisa ukukhutshwa.
