Ultra Sacks contain a harmless inert gel which expands in contact with fresh water (not salt water) to provide a flood barrier just like a conventional sand bag;

- store flat and dry
- expand as soon as soaked with 10 litres of fresh water
- flatten as they dry out, if hung up, say over a fence
- packed in 10's and 25's in sealed plastic bags

DESCRIPTION

Ultra Sack is a revolutionary direct replacement for the traditional 'sand' bag: it is stored flat ready for instant flood defence - no more sand, filling or weight problems.

The bag is made of high quality woven Jute lined with cotton, which are natural, renewable materials.

The gel is an inert granulated product commonly used as a soil expander - it has no effect on the environment.

TECHNICAL DATA

Bag Expansion - requires a minimum soaking with at least 10 litres of fresh water to expand to capacity. Use a garden hose, a bath, sink, wheelie bin or other receptacle to allow full soaking.

Bag Size - dry
50 cm x 25 cm x 5.5mm (20 inches x 10 inches)
Bag Size - wet, maximum
Expands from flat to 100mm (4 inches) thick
Packaging (Box of 50 = 330 x 380 x 620mm)
Bag, plastic, sealed in 25 = 140mm thick (5.5")
Weight Empty/Full/Re-Dried
0.42 kg/13 kgs/1.5kgs
Usage Rate - typical examples
25 sacks, = 2 x doorways, 3 across x 4 high - protects against a 250mm flood depth
110 sacks = 10 metre run, 450mm flood depth

Note - it is normal for a small amount of inert Gel to reach the bag surface, making it feel slightly sticky. This is harmless and does not reduce its efficiency.

A Testimonial - directly quoted from their E mail:

"Hi from Badgers Sett and the Chattabox Childrens Holiday Club.

A lady in your organisation asked me how the Aqua Sacs worked out

.
Well we have finished this years holiday club in the 140ft marquee in some rather wet weather and occasional cloud bursts. In previous years such weather would have caused some flooding in the marquee but thanks to your sacks this year was O K.

As soon as there was any surface water coming under the edges of the marquee we put a row of bags along under the flap of the sides which diverted the water. We also used a few to act as sponges for any wet patches within the Marquee that escaped the side barriers. All in all "it did what it said on the tin."

The drying out does take time, but we were pleased with the overall result.
I have put a lot of marquees up in my time which often needed trenches to be dug to prevent water ingress!

So I think you have a market with all the marquee companies, it certainly solves the problem if the marquee is on hard standing or high quality grass where one cannot trench. You can quote me on this.

I wish you luck
Regards David Macey of Badgers Sett"
