Swimming pool sealant, Submerseal by EMSEAL, is installed into wet epoxy adhesive on concrete joint faces.
Epoxy adhesive, supplied with by EMSEAL as part of the Submerseal system is mixed and applied to the joint face.  The Submerseal is removed from it precompression packaging and begins to slowly self-expand. It is immediately inserted into the wet-epoxy on the joint faces and pushed into the joint until the crown of the bellows is recessed just below the surface of the concrete.

Corners and joins between lengths are joined with field applied silicone.  Each successive length is pushed firmly toward the previously installed length in order to create longitudinal pressure at the joins to prevent gaps.

For submerged applications Submerseal has been tested in a hydrostatic-head pressure simulator to continuously resist water pressure of various levels without leaking. Reference the depth table at the Submerseal product page for joint-width and corresponding allowable depths and/or consult EMSEAL for application specific conditions.
