FloodSax FS5R Sandless Sandbag Water Absorbent Flood Barrier, 19" x 20", White, Pack of 5

The FloodSax Sandless Sandbags were despatched the same day that I placed my order. Unfortunately my driveway slopes towards my garage and I needed to try to prevent water entering during storm force torrential rain that had been forecast. The bags started to expand as soon as I put them into a large bowl of water and the square shape of the bags made it much easier for me (as an older person) to put in place against the garage door, rather than the 5 ft long very heavy expanded sausage style bags that are on the market. They arrived well packaged in a flat vacuum bag and can be used without putting into water first, for such things as a leak from a washing machine etc. and the instructions also state that they can be used to push into the entrance of a toilet soil pipe to prevent sewerage flooding up. Have ordered some more to have as a preventative measure.

Did the job, easy set up.

Purchased as a standby but thankfully not needed them yet. Certainly space saving and convenient

Product has worked well in garage that floods regularly, keeping all water back it seems

Great product in times of too much water & blocked Gullies

My garage floods periodically, and if you’ve dealt with flooding, you know how much of a nightmare it can be. I bought these as a barrier when I heard we were expecting biblical rain, hoping they would help keep the water at bay. While they do absorb water, I didn’t realize that you’re supposed to add water to them before the flood. I was looking for something that would activate as it got wet, rather than needing pre-soaking. Unfortunately, in my situation, these were a poor solution to the problem. If you need something for immediate flood defense, these might not be the best option.

We recently discovered them and we were excited to get them! They are very nice and well made compared to competition, buy they are lighter than a sandbag and it takes ages to get dry,ours are still wet! We had a huge amounts of rain coming down and due to the lightness the floodsax wall couldn't stay in place without heavier items holding them there! Also due to the material the sax is made they filter lots of the mud that is trying to inflitrate. Overall they are decent and will serve you well but in big floods other measures need to be taken!

works well

Ho provato a bagnare questi sacchi e da gonfi arrivano ad uno spessore di circa 11 cm. Dentro il gel non è sciolto, ma in fogli che sembrano di panno e che hanno una forma - pur essendo un foglio unico - che permette al sacco di piegarsi un po', in modo da adattarsi abbastanza ad eventuali curve. Secondo me nelle zone dove ci sono gli angoli, è comunque impossibile che facciano tenuta totale, a meno che non si mettano più file di sacchi, una dietro l'altra, ma qualcosa di acqua può entrare. Ho provato anche a tagliare un sacco e dividerlo in tre parti per poterlo usare in zone più strette, ed ho ricucito il cartatessuto che lo avvolge e si può fare. Comunque sono soddisfatta dell'acquisto e ne ho comprati altri. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è buono, il migliore che ho trovato sul mercato.

Achat préventif à risque inondation. Produit conforme... malgré livraison carton semi ouvert au contenu tout de même vérifié avec livreur trés sérieux.

Nicht tauglich. Funktioniert leider nicht wie es dargestellt wird. Die Säcke werden von starkem Wasser mitgespült. Sie halten nur geringem Wasserdruck stand. Diese Qualität gibt es zudem von anderen Herstellern deutlich günstiger, z.B. bei eBay. Wenn es darum geht, Sturzbäche oder stark fließendes Wasser abzuhalten, sind sie leider zu schwach. Schade, die Idee ist gut.

So I saw these some were online and I ordered them back in 2018. I live in Tampa FL had them in my closet til Oct 2024 and they saved my home from flooding. I can not recommend them enough. I had at the time needed more than I had so I ordered some off brand version that would get here in time. Big Difference. They worked in a pinch so better than nothing, but stacked next to these no comparison I have since bought 40 more to keep in reserve. and just ordered 40 more because the price has come down. they are safe to store for ever. Note: They Do take a few minutes to expand with water and best to submerge in a wheel barrel or something but you can hit them with hose, just takes longer

Prodotto utile e funzionale
