Aqua-Sac® Flood Protection sandbags

AQUA-SAC®

Aqua-Sac® is a revolutionary alternative to traditional sandbags for flood defence and emergency flood protection. Made from a heavy-duty jute sack and a non-biodegradable, non-woven inner bag with our patented centre stitch, the Aqua-Sac contains a Super-Absorbent Polymer. Simply submerge in water — in just five minutes, it absorbs up to 13 litres, creating an instant, self-inflating “sandbag”.

Size

Inflated Aqua-Sac® S.O.S. Bags are 54cm long and 10cm high. Each Aqua-Sac® is of a consistent size enabling a barrier to protect against flooding or diverting water to be built easily.

Weight

At 13kg an Aqua-Sac® is significantly lighter than traditional sandbags and so reducing manual handling risks.

Un-inflated weight

At 440g Aqua-Sac® can be transported in higher volume to where they are required in an emergency in smaller, more efficient vehicles.

Storage

Aqua-Sac® are compact, 1000 can be stored on one standard pallet saving valuable storage space compared to only 25 traditional sandbags.

Shelf Life

Aqua-Sac® are contained in sealed packs giving a shelf life in excess of five years and so reducing waste.

Environmental Impact

The Jute sack are a non-biodegradable, non-woven inner bag. The super absorbent polymer is benign with no toxic effects. Aqua-Sac® can be disposed of safely in landfill or by incineration. Alternatively, the super absorbent polymer may be added directly to soil as a hydrating medium.

Reusable

Aqua-Sac® will begin to dry out over the course of six to eight weeks. At any point they can be re-inflated providing that they have not been contaminated.
