Hydrosack
Hydrosack
Hydrosack. Instant flood bag. Replaces sand bags forever.
• Absorbs up to 20 litres
• Perfect for emergency flooding
• Built in handles for easy lifting
• Acts as a flood barrier
• Eco friendly product
Weight when dry: 1kg (2 in a standard pack)
Size of each sack : 680mmx480mm (2 in a standard pack)
• Hydrosack is the new, modern method to create a highly effective
barrier to the threat of flood water in domestic and commercial properties.
It is the perfect substitute for the old, traditional sandbag which is
not only less effective but is also difficult to handle, labour intensive
and a potential health hazard.
• When soaked with water before installation, each Hydrosack absorbs
up to 20 litres of water it lets the water in but refuses to let the water
out, even when punctured and when built into layers, the Hydrosack wall
produces a highly effective barrier to flood water.
• But that’s only one benefit…
• Before use each Hydrosack weighs a mere kilo. Being so light it
is fast and easy to handle and place into key positions – when flooding
threatens every second counts. Soak the Hydrosacks in water and in minutes
they are inflated and ready to settle into position and, because of their
suppleness, they fit into openings and doorwells more snugly, improving
their flood prevention qualities.
• HydroSack is available in various colours according to the situation
required and they have handles for easy movement, especially in emergency
conditions.
• The unique 3-section structure of the HydroSack allows a controlled
spread which prevents the contents from moving from side to side.
When used, Hydrosacks can be deposited in to soil, beds as the make up
is pulp and polymer (SAP-often used to enhance the growth of plants)

Use HydroSnake when flood prevention and direction of excess water is
needed.
The HydroSnake has the ability to absorb up to 20 litres of water or sewage
and thereafter hold back further excess.
Before use the HydroSnake weighs less than half a kilo. On contact with
the water the super absorbent polymer crystallises and expands to hold
up to 40 times its own weight.
HydroSnakes are an essential accessory for plumbers or wherever there
is danger of flooding. They will retain their bulk for up to 3 months
and are Eco – friendly – to dispose simply slit the pads and
release the contents into the earth or sewage
When used, Hydrosnakes can be deposited in to soil, beds as the make up
is pulp and polymer (SAP-often used to enhance the growth of plants)

Flood Barriers
All you have to do is choose the barrier size (width) that fits between the brickwork of your doorway. All barrier heights are 565mm (22¼”).
SIZE 1 770mm 30 ¼”
SIZE 2 820mm 32 ¼”
SIZE 3 870mm 34 ¼”
SIZE 4 900mm 35 ½”
SIZE 5 920mm 36 ¼”
SIZE 6 970mm 38 ¼”
Measure distance A on your doorframes for each doorway that you require a barrier. A = Overall width of doorframe/between brickwork. Choose barrier size that is nearest to but NOT LARGER than Measurement A.
Please note that the flood barrier is only suitable for inward opening
doors, which have a doorframe against which the barrier can form a seal.
If there is no visible doorframe the floodbarrier cannot be used.
Check rebate depth of doorframe; sometimes longer bolts are required,
e.g. 100mm or longer. The floodbarrier comes with bolts up to 75mm long.
