How To - Water$ave Dam Sealer Application

Fix your leaking dam with our Water$ave dam sealers. Take a look at how easy the application is.

Before Application

Locate the leak – This allows for a more targeted application, saving you product & money. If you are unsure where your leak is contact us for a free dam assessment from one of our dam experts.

Clear any obstructions – Weeds, reeds & other debris can block the polymer’s path to the leak & reducing its effectiveness.

Relocate livestock – It is recommended to keep livestock away during the application to ensure the polymers are not relocated from the leaking areas.

DO NOT apply while raining or windy – Apply on a clear, still day to ensure an even coverage of the product.

Application

For best results Water$ave Plug or Seep should be applied while the dam is actively leaking. The water level should be at least 1 metre (3ft) deep. Water$ave can be applied by hand or with a small hand spreader to the water surface. Don’t broadcast the product more than 2 metres (7ft) as this can cause an uneven application. If needed use a floatation device, such as a kayak or small boat, to reach the required area. As you return to the bank cast the polymer behind you, as not impend its path to the leak.

Water$ave Plug & Water$ave Seep are both non-toxic & not harmful to plant or animal life. This means it can be handled without protective clothing. The polymers do become slippery when wet, so care should be taken.
