A New Solution For The Age-Old Problem Of Rising Damp Aquapol burst onto the South African market three years ago offering a permanent solution to the age-old problem of rising damp. That’s a bold claim, and skeptics will roll their eyes – until they see it in action. It takes anything from 6-18 months to dry out a building, but you will see improvements in weeks. Aquapol technicians take regular readings to verify the device is doing what it is supposed to. The technology itself is rather fascinating. The inventor is Wilhelm Mohorn, an Austrian who studied and adapted the technological discoveries of Nicola Tesla – the genius who gave us fluorescent lights, alternating current, radio and much more. In essence, what the Aquapol device does is reverse the electrical polarity of water molecules, driving them back into the ground. It does this with a small device about the size of a cake tin that has no moving parts, no electrical connections, no batteries, nor any need for costly masonry work. This sounds like space age technology, and it is!! The story gets better: a dry building is a healthy building, and there is a wealth of academic research to show that the occupants of buildings where Aquapol devices have been installed sleep better, and report lower incidences of asthma and other symptoms of what has become known as ‘sick building syndrome’. This is because rising damp fosters the growth of mould, and creates a damp, spore-filled atmosphere that has been linked to a range of bronchial and other illnesses. According to Warren Bruckmann (Sales Director), Aquapol South Africa’s. Aquapol now has 50 000 installations around the world, including such notable historical sites as the Budapest parliament building, the Joseph Haydn Museum in Austria and Schlatt Castle in Germany. Though the company is relatively new to South Africa, clients now include Sun International, Elephant Hills Hotel in Pretoria and the Gauteng Department of Public Works. “We met with some scepticism in the beginning, but most of our orders now come from word-of-mouth referrals – usually from customers who gave up trying the traditional solutions for damp proofing because they found these have limited use.” youtu.be/mJhogR7YLps
