Ko te takirere te taputapu whakahaere o te paipa wai. Ko tana mahi matua he hono, he tapahi rānei i te rere o te wai paipa, he whakarerekē i te ahunga rere o te wai, he whakarite i te pēhanga me te rere o te wai, ā,tāutahia ngā takirere rerekē, nui, iti, ki roto i te pūnaha. He taurangi nui mō te mahi noa o te paipa mengā taputapu.
He maha ngā momo takirere maimoatanga wai e whakamahia whānuitia ana:
1. Tārere Kēti.
Koinei te takirere whakatuwhera me te kati e whakamahia whānuitia ana, e whakamahi ana i te kēti (te wāhanga whakatuwhera me te kati, i roto i te takirere kēti, ko te wāhanga whakatuwhera me te kati e kiia ana ko te kēti, ā, ko te nohoanga takirere e kiia ana ko te nohoanga kēti) hei hono (tuwhera katoa) me te tapahi (katia katoa) i te reo i roto i te paipa. Kāore e whakaaetia kia whakamahia hei whakawhāiti, ā, me karohia te kēti kia paku tuwhera i te wā e whakamahia ana, nā te mea ka tere ake te pakaru o te mata hiri i te mimiti o te reo rere tere-tere. Ka neke te kēti ki runga, ki raro i runga i te papa poutū ki te raina pokapū o te awa o te nohoanga kēti, ā, ka tapahia te reo i roto i te paipa pērā i te kēti, nō reira i kiia ai he takirere kēti.
Ngā Āhuatanga:
1.He iti te ātete rere. He tika te ara waenga i roto i te tinana takirere, he rārangi tika te rere o te reo, ā, he iti te ātete rere.
2.He iti ake te penapena mahi i te wā e whakatuwhera ana, e kati ana hoki. He rite ki te takirere e rite ana, nā te mea e tuwhera ana, e kati ana rānei, ko te ahunga o te nekehanga o te kuaha he poutū ki te ahunga rere o te reo.
3.He teitei nui, he roa te wā whakatuwheratanga me te wā kati. Ka piki ake te whiu whakatuwheratanga me te kati o te kēti, ā, ka whakaitihia te tere mā te tīwiri.
4. Ehara i te mea ngāwari te puta o te hama wai. Ko te take he roa te wā kati.
5. Ka taea te rere o te wai i ngā taha katoa o te papu, ā, he watea te tāutanga. He tino pai te papu wai o te awaawa kuaha.
6. He iti te roa o te hanganga (te tawhiti i waenganui i ngā mata pito e rua e hono ana o te anga).
7. He ngāwari te mau o te mata hiri. Ina pāngia te whakatuwheratanga me te katinga, ka mirimiri, ka paheke ngā mata hiri e rua o te pereti kuaha me te nohoanga takirere tetahi ki tetahi. I raro i te mahi a te pēhanga reo, ka ngāwari te pakaru me te mau, ka pā ki te mahi hiri me te roanga o te ratonga katoa.
8. He nui ake te utu. He uaua ake te tukatuka i te tohu mata hiri whakapā, ina koa he uaua te tukatuka i te mata hiri i runga i te nohoanga kuaha.
2. Takirere Ao
Ko te takirere porowhita he takirere porowhita-katia e whakamahi ana i te kōpae (ko te wāhanga kati o te takirere porowhita e kiia ana ko te kōpae) hei neke i te rārangi pokapū o te awa o te nohoanga kōpae (nohonga takirere) hei whakahaere i te whakatuwheratanga me te katinga o te paipa. He pai ngā takirere porowhita mō te kawe i ngā wai me ngā mea hau i raro i ngā pēhanga me ngā pāmahana rerekē i roto i te awhe paerewa kua tohua, engari kāore e pai mō te kawe i ngā wai kei roto he ua totoka, he tioata rānei. I roto i te paipa pēhanga iti, ka taea hoki te whakamahi i te takirere aukati hei whakatika i te rere o te reo i roto i te paipa. Nā ngā herenga hanganga, ko te diameter ingoa o te takirere porowhita kei raro iho i te 250mm. Mena kei runga i te paipa he pēhanga reo teitei me te tere rere teitei, ka tere te memeha o tōna mata hiri. Nō reira, me whakamahi he takirere whakatere ina hiahiatia te whakatika i te tere rere.
Ngā Āhuatanga:
1.Kāore i te kino te pakaru me te pakū o te mata hiri, nō reira he pono ake te mahi, ā, he roa te ora ratonga.
2. He iti te horahanga o te mata hiri, he māmā noa te hanganga, ā, he iti ake ngā hāora tangata e hiahiatia ana hei hanga i te mata hiri me ngā rauemi utu nui e hiahiatia ana mō te mowhiti hiri i ērā o te takirere kuaha.
3. He iti te whiu o te kōpae ina whakatuwheratia, ina kati hoki, nō reira he iti te teitei o te takirere aukati. He māmā te whakahaere.
4. Mā te whakamahi i te miro hei neke i te kōpae, kāore he whakatuwheratanga, he katinga ohorere, ā, e kore e ngāwari te puta o te āhuatanga o te "hama wai".
5. He nui te taipana whakatuwheratanga me te kati, ā, he uaua te whakatuwheratanga me te kati. I te wā e kati ana, ko te ahunga nekehanga o te kōpae he ritenga kē ki te ahunga o te pēhanga nekehanga reo, ā, me wikitoria te kaha o te reo, nō reira he nui te taipana whakatuwheratanga me te kati, ka pā ki te whakamahinga o ngā takirere porowhita whānui nui.
6. He ātete nui ki te rere. I roto i ngā momo takirere tapahi katoa, ko te ātete rere o te takirere tapahi te mea nui rawa atu. (He nui ake te piko o te awa waenga)
7. He uaua ake te hanganga.
8. Kotahi te huarahi e rere ai te wai. Me whakarite kia rere te wai mai i raro ki runga, kia kotahi te huarahi e rere ai te wai.
I te tuhinga e whai ake nei, ka kōrero tātou mō ngā takirere pūrerehua me ngā takirere tirotiro i roto i ngā takirere maimoatanga wai, kua ngāwari kē nei ki te pakaru, ā, ki te tiaki hoki.
