Question 1

I read that it does not work with salt water. But does it work with salt swimming pool?

Accepted Answer

The information online for this item states that it does not work in salt water. Don’t know if it does in pools.

Question 2

How do i empty the bags?

Accepted Answer

Hi, we don't recommend emptying the bags. If you want to use the flood barrier again, kindly put it under the sun for several weeks, and it will deflate, but due to the activation, the beadings will not go back to their original status, and a slimy feeling will occur when deflating, however, this won't affect the second time use. If you want to throw it away, you can just deal with it like normal garbage. The material we are using is non-toxic and can be degraded by the environment. Thanks.

Question 3

How long before they go back to flat.  I am looking at using these for a roofing application and would need them to be full for quite a while

Accepted Answer

Hi, usually it takes 2 weeks for the activated flood barrier to deflate. But it depends on how the weather goes, and it won't deflate to its original status. If you need to keep the flood barrier activated, all you need to do is keep the product soaked in water, then it will stay activated. However, we still don't recommend using our product for roof application, as it can be up to 66LBs after activation, which may cause damage to the roof. To protect your property and keep you safe, we would suggest you turn to professional help. Thanks.

Question 4

There’s no instructions. I read another persons question below and your answer is to submerge in water? It’s 66lbs?

Accepted Answer

Hi! We apologize for being vague with the previous answer. To install the flood barrier, we recommend 1), Stretch the tube to its maximum length, that is 5ft. The weight for a non-activated tube is only 1LB, so one person can do this job. 2), Put the stretched flood barrier in water. Kindly be noticed, that it should be long enough to soak this tube. You can either find a small pool or a gutter way, but we suggest it's near to the place you need the barrier. 3), Wait for several minutes before the flood barrier is fully activated, usually, it's 5 mins. 4), When it's fully activated, move it to the place needed. Kindly pay attention, a tube may weigh up to 66LBs in its fully activated status, so to move it, we suggest at least two men do the job. And that's the installation instruction. If anything is unclear, kindly contact us again. We'll reply within 24 hours.
