## Description

Quick Dam Flood BagsWater Activated Flood Bags absorb, control, & divert flood waterProduct DescriptionProtect your home or property in times of flooding with Quick Dam sandless sandbags. They are ready to use. Just lie in place and let the water do the rest. Quick Dams expand and activate on contact with water. Growing in size to absorb, contain and divert problem water. Light weight and easy to use. Place in the path of problem water and prevent the water from entering your property. Stack multiple bags to increase wall height. Keep on hand for emergency situations.Protect Against:Storm surges & water main breaksOverflowing appliances & equipmentLeaking equipment & water tanksBroken sprinkler headsA/C condensation overflowSpills, leaks, floods, drips & moreFlood Bags:Water Activated Flood Bags (Sandless Sandbags) - Just get them wetFlood Bags grow to 12in x 24in x 3.5in highNo need for sand or labor, filling sandbagsAbsorbs 4 gallons of water & grows to full size of 3.5in high in 10 minutesSwelled bags contain, control, & divert flood waterStack multiple bags in brick formation to increase wall heightHow to UsePlace the Bags in the path of oncoming flood water.As they come in contact with water, it will absorb through material & start to swell.Bags reach their full height of 3.5in in 10 mins if enough water is present.If a rush of water is expected or you need to stack them, pre-soaking them is recommended.Not for use with Salt water.Note: For a solid base, bags should be stacked in a 1:3 ratio. For every 1ft of height needed, extend the base by 3ftTips & TricksDuring first activation, we recommend checking on them to make sure they are directing water as desired. Adjustments may be necessary as landscaping can alter water flow.Bags & Barriers should be stacked higher than water level for stability and to prevent them from floating away.Barriers are flexible and can be curved or wrapped.Barriers have a dual chamber, place wider edge towards water & smaller wedge away from water to prevent rolling out of position.Pre-Soaking is recommended prior to stacking or if heavy rain or water flow is expected.Staining may occur in instances where the surface is porous or unfinished cement is present. Remove from area when no longer needed.Porous surfaces like unfinished cement cause excessive seepage, since they are both trying to absorb water. Plastic barrier film in between, may help.For use in the winter/snow months, make sure they are fully activated before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum protection when the snow is melting. We do not recommend moving them while frozen to prevent any tearing of the outer material. Also, salt on the roads should not come in contact with Quick Dams. To help, pre-activate Quick Dams with water & then wrap plastic under & over the top to prevent the salt from making contact.Do NOT use around salt water, lime or calcium. These will cause the inner absorbent to release the water & deflate the product making it useless.Flood Bags & Barriers will not fully activate unless enough water is present.Once activated by water they can be used as a barrier against other oils & chemicals.Leave in place for 3-6 months of ongoing protection. Shrinking will occur as they dry out, but they will swell again once re-exposed to water.Length of time to dry out varies on climate. Average is about 3 months as higher humidity levels tend to take longer.Once completely dry, they will feel crunchy and ready for reactivation. Smooth the contents to evenly distribute the super absorbent polymers.Direct sunlight causes the product to degrade at a rapid pace, which will result in the product feeling slimy.Do NOT cut. The inner contents will be exposed and will make the product unusable. Storage & Shelf LifeBags unused, have a 5+ year shelf life.Store in sealed bag for maximum term.Keep on hand for immediate deployment.How to DisposeThrow away in trash.Quick Dams are safe: Pet friendlyNon-toxicEnvironmentally SafeOptional- great soil additive to help retain moisture- cut open & spread/ blend contents on lawn or garden (NOTE- will be VERY slippery until it degrades & disappears)

Review: Saved us from flooding during the heavy rain - Used this to stop water from flooding into our living room. We share a drain with a neighbour and it lies on their side of the private balcony of our flat but it seems to be blocked up so during heavy rainfall the water baIcks up and fills up the balconies like a bath and eventually breaches the door to the balcony. This has been the only thing that has helped us not to get flooded again. Easily stackable. The gel swells up inside and stays like that even when dry. Not sure how long they last but they have been in place for 4 months and we haven't had any water come through them.
Review: Easy storage and they work! - Instead of trying to store big bulky sandbags I bought these instead. So easy to store and when I unfortunately needed them they were easy to use and they worked. Downside: had to weigh them down as I put them out dry rather then 'wet' them before, but that was my choice. They also take a very long time to dry out again (but they saved my house so I can deal with the drying time!)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: has anyone had problems with the gel comming out**
A: no. We do not see a problem.

**Q: Hi, you say thet the dam bags can be re-used once dried out after a few weeks - do they return to a flat state?How many times can they be re-used?**
A: Q: How long do Quick Dams last?A: Un-activated- indefinite as long as kept dry, so store in their closed package until needed. Activated- If left in position, they can last for several months.Q: Can I re-use them?A: Once activated, Quick Dams will remain active until the water evaporates, typically taking a few weeks for complete evaporation. If left in position, they will shrink while evaporating and grow when re-exposed to water.Q:  They seem to shrink, is that normal?A:  Yes, as the water evaporates, they will get smaller. If complete evaporation is desired, store Quick Dams in a dry environment. Over several weeks, Quick Dams will shrink & become crunchy. Once re-exposed to water, they will swell again
