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.

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.

Where can I buy sandbags?

Sand bags traditionally hold sand, usually wet sand. Sandbags are therefore very heavy. Flood sand bags containing inert gel do not contain sand and are not heavy. Most people can pick up a gel sand bag, wet or dry. If you buy sandbags for home use you need somewhere to store them (the hessian ones also smell a bit) and a supply of sand. Once you have filled your sand bag you have to move it (a wheelbarrow is helpful, if you can lift it into the barrow), and then when the risk of flood has passed you have to move it to your garden, or yard, After a while hessian bags filled with old sand can rot and fall to pieces. So the answer is to buy our gel filled sandbags, sealed in a plastic bag, store them anywhere until needed and then just soak them in fresh water to expand them. You can use your bath, wheelie bin, a dustbin or a skip - or just a hose. In a few minutes the bag expand to about 12kgs and is ready for use.
