Submerseal handles constant immersion in swimming pools, fountains,and water parks, tanks and features.
Submerseal by EMSEAL Joint Systems Ltd, Chloronated water seal.
From your inquiries, we have come to realize that the vast majority of immersed applications are in chlorinated water environments.
 
Swimming pools, fountains, water features and water parks are the most common applications for which a lasting alternative to caulk and backer rod is desired.
 
Submerseal is coated with a single part silicone that presents huge installation simplification advantages over 2-part, polysulfide sealant alternatives. 
 
After conducting long-term chlorine immersion and hydrostatic-head resistance tests we're confident if offering this material for use in these environments.
