A basic and necessary condition for the proper functioning of swimming pools and water tanks is the non-loss of water. Otherwise, problems arise, the restoration of which requires high direct and indirect costs. Sealing of Pools - Tanks<\/p>\n

As an indirect cost can be considered the cost due to stoppage of operation (eg drinking water tank in a hotel, hospital, etc.). In addition, in case of failure and continuous leak,<\/a> there is a constant cost of energy consumption and also water for the constant filling of the pool or tank. In addition, the adjacent areas are significantly affected.<\/p>\n

S<\/strong>paving pools with cementitious mortars<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Its waterproofing concrete<\/a> it is done from the inside of the pool with waterproofing cement-based materials, preferably with a crystalline structure and deep penetration. This sealing is a barrier for pool water leakage, but at the same time for the inflow of underground water to the pool.<\/p>\n

Sealing of Pools - Tanks<\/h2>\n

These materials, in fact, cannot be elastic. As known, elastic cement-based waterproofing mortars are resistant only to positive water pressures and not to negative ones. Therefore, they would not be able to prevent the inflow of groundwater.<\/p>\n
