How to fill in the skating rink with the hands

With approach of winter there is the need for filling of skating rinks. In frosts the domestic soccer is succeeded by hockey. But filling of the skating rink is the difficult task. One simple adaptation will help to fill in absolutely equal ice.

Creation of the device for high-quality filling of the skating rink will require the sledge with the flat horizontal surface, capacity for water which will be established on the sledge, three pieces of the water pipe on meter with a diameter of 1/2 or 3/4 inches, the connecting T-connector, the crane, the wire, two connecting nuts and two caps. Also the piece of burlap or any other dense matter about a meter wide and no more than 50 centimeters long will be necessary. As capacity under water any plastic or iron barrel which is located on the sledge will approach.

At first it is necessary to make the rassekatel of water. For this purpose screw two pieces of the pipe in the T-connector. On the lower surface of the turned-out preparation drill openings with a diameter of three millimeters. Openings can be made also the tip of the knife if plastic pipes are used. Cut the wire pieces on 10 centimeters. On all length of the pipe at identical distance fix the wire in the form of triggers. Screw the third piece of the pipe in the T-connector, previously having cut off it, having measured distance from the edge of the sledge to the container with water. In the pipe install the crane. On the established triggers hang up dense matter or burlap which will serve for uniform distribution of water.

In the lower part of capacity make the opening with a diameter of 1/2 or 3/4 inches, depending on the pipe size. Put on the lock nut the pipe. Insert the pipe into capacity for water and fix it by one more nut from the inside. For consolidation of all threaded connections use any sealant. You apply sealant outside of the threaded connection if during the summer period this design needs to be sorted.

Fill in the necessary amount of water in capacity. Temperature at which it is possible to make filling shouldn't be higher – 10 wasps. Filling of the skating rink needs to be begun with the corner, far from you, moving on all its length. Adjust the crane the necessary water flow and start filling. Water, arriving on all length of the pipe on small openings, will flow down on the piece of dense matter and to be distributed evenly on the skating rink surface. The skating rink will turn out without ice lumps and with almost ideal plain surface.
