South Africa | We have been installing a lot of tile in very sandy soil, where even the sub-soil has less than 5% clay. We can not get tile with a sock on or razor cut, so we have installed normal slotted tile at minimum 0.2% grade.
Will this be OK?
Water coming out of the tile is clear within 2 hours afer installation, no sand in it.What we have noticed is that we need to be very carefull at the joints, especially if there is allready water in the trench, the sand washes into the tile VERY easely. So we try to do the joints emedeately and backfill with some crusher run.
Any suggestions?
