PAM AQUA CHANNEL

	DESCRIPTION & USE
	PAM AQUACHANNEL is a P.V.C drainage conduit designed for the control of water ingress in below ground situations.
	PAM AQUACHANNEL is fitted around the perimeter of the floor at the vulnerable wall/floor junction.
	PAM AQUACHANNEL can be used in most waterproofing situations, and is particularly suited for use in conjunction with Isola Platon Cavity Drain Membrane systems. Water entering the building through the walls is controlled behind the Platon Membrane and diverted to the Aquachannel at the base of the wall. The water enters the Aquachannel through pre-drilled 19mm holes drainage holes set 70mm apart along its length and is then be diverted to a suitable drainage point, either natural or a sump and mechanical pump (see PAM Aqua Pump). Jetting eyes and channel to sump connector’s can also be fitted into the perimeter drainage system to enable the Aquachannel to be cleaned periodically if necessary.
	In situations where an existing floor slab/screed is solid and showing no signs of water ingress, cracking or de-bonding, the installation of Aquachannel can eliminate the need for Platon Cavity Drain membrane on the floor, proving beneficial in areas of limited headroom.
	The application of a liquid waterproof coating to the existing floor would be recommended to act as a moisture suppressant.
