What is a hydroplate for a well, how and where is it used
The quality and purity of water from the well from possible contamination by groundwater, which contain harmful impurities, must be protected by various waterproofing materials. Especially it is necessary to seal the joints between reinforced concrete rings, places where engineering communications are embedded in the mine, as well as defects that appeared during operation in the body of w / w products.
To help quickly eliminate the leakage will allow the water seal for the well with their own hands.
What is gidroplubba
Hydroplomb called a special composition of slurries, which are capable of very fast hardening, giving the opportunity to eliminate pressure leaks. Usually, hydraulic solutions in such situations are impractical to use, they are simply washed out with water, even without having time to harden.
Until the hydraulic seal was invented, most well masters used wooden plugs or tow, which, when swollen, did not allow water to seep into the building. But these materials had one serious drawback - they began to rot very quickly, exuding unpleasant odors, which caused changes in taste and water quality.
The appearance of the hydraulic seal made it possible to significantly improve the quality of work and increased the service life of the repair section, which became important. However, even nowadays there are companies that instead use the old-fashioned method of eliminating leaks to reduce costs, without even thinking about the consequences.
In addition, watch carefully for what welldezniki try to stop live leaks. Remember that a mixture of sand, cement and liquid glass, which is used by about 80% of the masters, cannot stop them qualitatively and reliably.
When working with the water seal, it is necessary to take into account all recommendations related to surface preparation, and when the cracks and seams are small, they should be increased by a puncher to the required size. If the instruction is respected, it can withstand even a very serious water pressure.
We prepare a solution to eliminate pressure leaks
From the previous paragraph, we learned what a hydraulic seal is for the repair of a well and its ability. This quick-hardening material is able to return the structure in a few minutes. When purchasing the material, pay attention to the availability of a certificate from the seller, which confirms the safety of the components used in the hydraulic seal for drinking water.
We can recommend such materials as “Waterplag” and “Peneplag”, which are used in conjunction only with “Pinekrit” and “Pinetron”. Mixes instantly seize when interacting with a strong pressure of water, with simultaneous expansion and the formation of a waterproof layer.
Materials from other manufacturing companies that also specialize in the production of instant mixtures to block pressure leaks are applied in the same way. Special attention should be paid to the correct use with the enclosed instructions.
Prepare the solution yourself
When you have decided to cook the mixture yourself, be sure to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer. The volume of the dry mix depends on the activity of the leak.
Most often, the proportion is 1 kg of well-fittings per 150 g of water. In another way, it can be calculated as follows - five parts of the mixture are taken for one part of water.
Tip: when the pressure is significant, the composition of the proportions of ingredients in the mixture can be changed, bringing the amount of dry ingredients to 7 parts (the proportion will be 1 (water): 7 (dry part)).
The solution should be kneaded at a water temperature close to 20 ° C heat. The kneading is carried out as fast as possible - no more than 30 seconds, which should resemble dry ground.
Do not immediately knead a large amount, consider its instantaneous setting. In this regard, it is more reasonable to prepare the mixture in parts, and after applying one to the place of a pressure leak, immediately start preparing the next one.
Sealing technology
- At the first stage it is necessary to prepare the surface for work. To do this, use a perforator or a jackhammer to free up the internal cavity of the leak from loose loose concrete.
- This repaired place must be expanded to a width of 25 mm and deepened to 50 mm or slightly more. The shape of the hole should be similar to a funnel.
- Stir in a clean container a certain amount of the mixture, the volume of which is necessary for sealing the leak. Form a lump in your hands from the solution and press it into the embroidered hole with a sharp movement. Hold the water seal in place for 2-3 minutes.
Tip: you can apply the hydraulic seal on the repaired place of a well made of reinforced concrete rings, bricks, stone on horizontal and vertical surfaces without erecting formwork. When the hole is oblong in shape and cannot be plugged at one time, seal from top to bottom.
Other places of application of hydraulic seals
Using quick-hardening solutions you can effectively resist:
- leakage of fluids from reinforced concrete tanks;
- breakthroughs in tunnels, basements, tunnels, mines, galleries;
- defects that may appear in the bowl of pools and other artificial reservoirs;
- capillary flows, which often appear at the junctions of the walls and floors, as well as between the foundation blocks.
Safety
The technology of using hydraulic seals for wells is not complex, so it can also be used by novice craftsmen without the involvement of qualified professionals. Protect hands with gloves. (See also the article on Well Cleaning Features.)
After use, the tool must be immediately washed from the remnants of the mixture, otherwise, when they finally harden, it can only be cleaned mechanically and with great difficulty.
The price of such a waterproofing material is high, so it is not always the companies that are engaged in the repair and construction of drinking wells, it is used. When you decide to contact a specialized company, clarify this question immediately, since the use of other materials may not be as effective.

Conclusion
The hydraulic seal is a reliable and fast way to eliminate the pressure flow in a well of concrete, brick or stone. Although its cost is high, but it gives an absolute result. In the presented video in this article you will find additional information on this topic.
