A water resistant, joint-face-adhered, precompressed, primary seal for retrofit and new structural expansion joints and construction joints where continuous or intermittent immersion or contact with chlorinated water, saline water or potable water is planned, Submerseal, by EMSEAL, is uniquely suited to sealing joints in swimming pools.  This installation is in a 12-foot hydrostatic head condition at a waterpark.

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.
