Abstract
Constructing a mikveh by permanently fixing at least one initial building unit to the ground of an installation site, connecting, in a sealed manner, additional building units to the initial building unit(s), for producing a sealed vessel, where the length of each of most of said building units is at least 50 centimeters, and the weight per area thereof is less than 250 kg per square meter.
Claims17
A method for constructing a Mikveh (10) said method comprising the steps of:
- permanently fixing at least one initial building unit (22) to the ground (28) or to a stationary substance of an original installation site, using connecting means;
- connecting, in a sealed manner, additional building units (22) to said at least one initial building unit (22) and to each other (22), for producing a sealed vessel (52);
- inserting into said vessel (52) at least one partition (16) comprising a water transition area (18), for partitioning thereof to
- (a) at least one basin (30), and to
- (b) at least one immersion pool (20),
- wherein said immersion pool is exposed for direct contact with natural water to be filled therein, and the length of each of a majority of said building units (22) is at least 50 centimeters and the weight per area thereof is less than 250 kg per 1 square meter,
- wherein each of said building units (22) of said vessel are made of a member of the group of lightweight materials consisting of:
- plastic, thermoplastic, polycarbonate, perspex, coal fiber, and nanomaterial,
- wherein said connecting means is provided as a screw covered by filler material, for preventing access to said screw,
- and wherein said permanently fixing is performed in such fashion as to require that at least one of said connecting means and said vessel lightweight materials are visibly broken when dismantling said vessel,
- such that said vessel cannot be reconstructed at another installation site.

A mikveh (10) comprising:
- a vessel (52) comprising a plurality of basic units (22) connected therebetween in a sealed manner,
- wherein the length of each of a majority of said basic units (22) is at least 50 centimeters and the weight per area thereof is less than 250 kg per 1square meter, and
- wherein at least one of said plurality of basic units (22) is permanently fixed to the ground or to a stationary substance of an installation site at the installation site using connecting means, prior to production of said vessel (52);
- and
- at least one partition (16) within said vessel (52) providing water transition (18), for partitioning thereof to
- at least one basin (30), and to
- at least one immersion pool (20);
- wherein said immersion pool is exposed for direct contact with natural water to be filled therein,
- wherein each of said basic units (22) of said vessel are made of a member of the group of lightweight materials consisting of:
- plastic, thermoplastic, polycarbonate, perspex, coal fiber glass, and nanomaterial,
- wherein said connecting means is provided as a screw covered by filler material, for preventing access to said screw,
- and wherein said at least one permanently fixed basic unit (22) is arranged to require that at least one of said connecting means and said vessel lightweight materials are visibly broken when dismantling said vessel,
- such that said vessel cannot be reconstructed at another installation site.
