WATERPROOF AND SAFE POOLS WITH DRYTECH
A swimming pool that leaks water is a continuous expense and a risk to the structure. Infiltrations cause dispersion, force frequent refilling and put stress on the concrete and coatings. Many owners wonder how to intervene definitively. This is where Drytech brings its experience to bear. For over sixty years, we have been creating waterproof structures and intervening on tanks and swimming pools with guaranteed solutions.
WHY SWIMMING POOLS LEAK WATER
The main causes of leaks are micro-cracks, unprotected both cold joints and penetrations. Surface coatings also deteriorate over time and allow water to pass through. In an existing swimming pool, this leads to consumption, unexpected costs and can even prevent its use. In a new swimming pool, the lack of waterproofing design soon translates into structural problems. A superficial intervention is not enough. A system is needed that makes the pool body waterproof and maintains this characteristic over time.
THE DRYTECH WHITE TANK SYSTEM
Drytech has developed the White Tank System, a construction method that integrates waterproofing and structure into a single body. It is based on waterproof concrete and hydro-expansive acrylic resins injected into constuction details, such as joints and penetrations. The waterproofing becomes an integral part of the structure, so it cannot be damaged during construction. The system also resists aggressive water and can be maintained from the inside, without demolition or excavation. This is why it is chosen for swimming pools, water systems, cellars and foundations.
DESIGNING NEW SWIMMING POOLS CORRECTLY
When building a new swimming pool, the right time to address waterproofing is during the design phase. With Drytech, the pool is already waterproof from the outset: our Engineering department works with designers and construction companies to define the concrete mix and prepare the DRYset elements in the joints. The result is a swimming pool that combines structure and waterproofing, with faster construction times, fewer materials and a contractual guarantee. In this way, waterproofing is guaranteed from the outset and remains stable throughout the useful life of the structure.
RENOVATION WITHOUT DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING SWIMMING POOL
Many existing swimming pools show signs of leaks and water infiltration. In these cases, Drytech intervenes from the inside, with targeted injections of DRYflex resin at the points of infiltration. There is no need to demolish or rebuild the pool. The intervention is quick and precise, and the result is immediately visible to the naked eye, as the infiltration stops immediately. This is the ideal approach when waterproofing a pool that has lost its seal.
DRYFLEX WATERPROOFING FOR SWIMMING POOLS
DRYflex is an expansive acrylic resin that acts as a waterproofing agent for swimming pools. Once injected, it catalyses in a few minutes and seals the crack by pressure. It remains elastic and follows the movements of the structure, maintaining its waterproofing properties over time. It is a safe, solvent-free product that is also used to waterproof aqueducts. This makes it the ideal choice for private swimming pools, hotels, wellness centres and sports facilities.
WATERPROOFING OF SWIMMING POOLS WE HAVE BUILT
We have used the Drytech White Tank System to build new private swimming pools, Olympic-size pools, infinity pools for luxury hotels and rooftop pools. In all these projects, waterproofing has become an integral part of the structure, resulting in stable, safe structures with minimal maintenance costs.
We have also renovated existing swimming pools by intervening from the inside with targeted injections of DRYflex acrylic resin.
In Lugano, for example, we waterproofed the iconic above-ground swimming pool with a completely glass wall, using an waterproof exposed concrete structure. In Gstaad, we waterproofed the new outdoor swimming pool with hydromassage, the indoor swimming pool and the spa facilities of the new sports centre in the Alpine resort.
