increase wall heightHow to UsePlace the Bags in the path of oncoming flood
water.As they come in contact with water, it will absorb through material &
start to swell.Bags reach their full height of 3.5in in 10 mins if enough
water is present.If a rush of water is expected or you need to stack them,
pre-soaking them is recommended.Not for use with Salt water. Note: For a solid
base, bags should be stacked in a 1:3 ratio. For every 1ft of height needed,
extend the base by 3ftTips & TricksDuring first activation, we recommend
checking on them to make sure they are directing water as desired. Adjustments
may be necessary as landscaping can alter water flow.Bags & Barriers should be
stacked higher than water level for stability and to prevent them from
floating away.Barriers are flexible and can be curved or wrapped.Barriers have
a dual chamber, place wider edge towards water & smaller wedge away from water
to prevent rolling out of position.Pre-Soaking is recommended prior to
stacking or if heavy rain or water flow is expected.Staining may occur in
instances where the surface is porous or unfinished cement is present. Remove
from area when no longer needed.Porous surfaces like unfinished cement cause
excessive seepage, since they are both trying to absorb water. Plastic barrier
film in between, may help.For use in the winter/snow months, make sure they
are fully activated before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum
protection when the snow is melting. We do not recommend moving them while
frozen to prevent any tearing of the outer material. Also, salt on the roads
should not come in contact with Quick Dams. To help, pre-activate Quick Dams
with water & then wrap plastic under & over the top to prevent the salt from
making contact.Do NOT use around salt water, lime or calcium. These will cause
the inner absorbent to release the water & deflate the product making it
useless.Flood Bags & Barriers will not fully activate unless enough water is
present.Once activated by water they can be used as a barrier against other
oils & chemicals.Leave in place for 3-6 months of ongoing protection.
Shrinking will occur as they dry out, but they will swell again once re-
exposed to water.Length of time to dry out varies on climate. Average is about
3 months as higher humidity levels tend to take longer.Once completely dry,
they will feel crunchy and ready for reactivation. Smooth the contents to
evenly distribute the super absorbent polymers.Direct sunlight causes the
product to degrade at a rapid pace, which will result in the product feeling
slimy.Do NOT cut. The inner contents will be exposed and will make the product
unusable. Storage & Shelf LifeBags unused, have a 5+ year shelf life.Store in
sealed bag for maximum term.Keep on hand for immediate deployment.How to
DisposeThrow away in trash.Quick Dams are safe: Pet friendlyNon-
toxicEnvironmentally SafeOptional- great soil additive to help retain
moisture- cut open & spread/ blend contents on lawn or garden (NOTE- will be
VERY slippery until it degrades & disappears) From the Manufacturer Protect
