The Ultra-Flood Stopper is an innovative sandless sandbag that utilises advanced technology to form a highly effective water barrier, capable of protecting residential, commercial, and industrial properties against floods and other liquid emergencies. This product offers superior performance over traditional sandbags, as it is designed to be quicker and easier to deploy, and to provide a more stable and durable barrier. The Ultra-Flood Stopper® is an essential tool for any flood prevention and emergency response system, as it can help mitigate damage and protect assets in the face of unforeseen circumstances.

To determine the number of Flood Stopper needed, you must consider the length of the area to be protected, the expected flood height, and the flow velocity. Based on these factors, you can estimate the required thickness, height, and length of the wall. It is recommended to use more Ultra-Flood Stopper than required to ensure your system can handle the expected flood event.
Once the threat of a flood is gone, remove the Flood Stopper and dispose of properly (Standard refuse pick-up is normally acceptable).
Never use salt water to activate the Ultra-Flood Stopper as it will negatively affect its ability to activate and swell. Only use fresh water. Wrap walls in plastic sheeting to minimise saltwater contact if used where salt water may be present in the flood waters. Avoid use where calcium and lime may be present.
To protect Ultra-Flood Stopper from road salt, place them on plastic sheeting that is wide and long enough to fit under them and wrap up and over the wall facing the salt. Tuck the excess plastic wraps in between the sides of Flood Controls that are facing away from the road salt.
Ultra-Flood Stoppers can be kept in cool, dry storage for years, before use. Keep it in sealed poly bags for best results.
Yes, activate and set it in advance of freezing temperatures. Do not move the Ultra-Flood Stopper if frozen to prevent damage and loss of contents.
Ultra-Flood Stopper can be used to hold back water, oil, and some chemicals.
It will activate faster if there is more water in the bin or temporary pool as the head pressure of the water will speed up the activating and fill process. Multiple units placed into a smaller container will slow the activation time. Agitating/moving the Ultra-Flood Stopper when in bins of water a few times during filling will help speed up the process. Normally you can expect a fill time of 2.5 to 5 minutes on the factors mentioned above.
It can be used for up to three months, but they will lose height and weight due to evaporation. You can recharge them by hosing down the wall or allowing slow-rising flood waters to fill them up. However, it is not recommended to activate Ultra-Flood Stopper that are in place but not activated by allowing heavier or faster moving floods, as this could cause them to be moved by wind or flood waters, creating holes and inconsistent performance.
No. Driving over activated Ultra-Flood Control is not recommended as they can be damaged and unusable. Avoid driving over it in any stage of activation.
It can be kept in cool, dry storage for years, prior to use. Keep it in sealed poly bags for best results.
The inside contents (super absorbent polymer) of the Ultra-Flood Stopper can be removed prior to disposing it and used as a soil amendment to help retain water in gardens and landscaping.
Use it at your own risk. Since the company cannot oversee the proper deployment of Ultra-Flood Stoppers, it can assume no responsibility for water or any other damage due to the use of the product.
