Prepare for heavy rain, storms, and unexpected water intrusion with these Water-Activated Flood Barrier Bags. Designed as a lightweight alternative to traditional sandbags, these flood bags use superabsorbent gel technology to rapidly absorb water and expand into protective barriers.
Each bag measures approximately 1.6 × 1.4 ft. and expands to approximately 3–4 inches thick when activated, helping create a temporary barrier around doorways, garages, basements, and other areas vulnerable to incoming water.
There's no sand to transport, shovel, or store. Simply position the bags where they're needed and activate them with water. In approximately 10 minutes, the absorbent material expands to create a substantial water-blocking barrier.
This quick-deployment design makes the bags especially useful as part of your storm and emergency preparedness supplies.
The internal absorbent gel is designed to expand up to 58 times its weight when exposed to water. As the bags swell, they become heavier and conform more closely to the surface underneath, helping create a tighter temporary barrier against moving water.
Reinforced stitching around the edges helps improve durability and reduce the risk of tearing during appropriate use. Unlike conventional sandbags, there's no need to keep piles of sand on hand before a storm arrives.
Before activation, the bags are lightweight and compact, making them much easier to store than pre-filled sandbags. Keep a package in your home, garage, basement, vehicle, shop, or emergency preparedness supplies so they're accessible when severe weather approaches.
After appropriate use, follow the manufacturer's drying and storage instructions before attempting to reuse the barriers.
