How do water activated sandbags work?
Our Water Activated Tube Sandbags contain superabsorbent polymers (gel) within the outer shell that expand as they absorb water. This makes them much easier to use and handle than a traditional sandbag. Just dunk these water absorbing bags in a bucket of water, then take them out and spray water on it to fully saturate the bag. When fully expanded they are about 3.5 inches tall. You can easily stack multiple bags on top of eachother.

FAQ
Do sandless sandbags work?
Sandless sandbags are effective in preventing flooding and erosion, and have been tested and proven to be effective in real-world situations. They work similar to traditional sandbags, the difference is that they use superabsorbent polymers to absorb water and subsequently divert water, rather than being filled with sand, gravel, or dirt.
How long do sandless sandbags last?
Like all sandbags, the lifespan depends on a variety of factors such as the conditions they are being used or stored under. Once activated with water, our sandless sandbags will last 3-6 months. If stored properly, in an enclosed area like a garage, these sandbags have a storage life of 5 years.
Can you reuse water activated sandbags?
Once activated, you can reuse these sandbags as many times as you need within 3-6 months. After that we recommend using a new sandbag.
