INSTRUCTIONS: EACH FLOOD BARRIER:
Place Quick Dams in the path of problem water
Smaller stitched area acts as a wedge & prevents
the barrier from rolling out of position
Quick Dams are activated when exposed to fresh
water and will absorb & swell to create a barrier
During rst activation, you will see white gelled
particles in the stitching areas- this is normal &
naturally decomposes
If a rush of water is expected, pre-soaking the
Quick Dams and stacking them is recommended
Stack Barriers by ipping one over so small
stitched areas are opposite each other, which
creates a at surface to secure the third layer in
place Quick Dams may be left in position for long
term ood protection, up to several months
Quick Dams are reusable - they grow when
exposed to water and will shrink as water evaporates
Quick Dams may not be a solution for all situations
* Not for use with salt water ooding
Starts as: 9in wide & either 5ft, 10ft or 17ft long
Grows to: 3.5in high & 34lbs, 68lbs & 116lbs
respectively
Patent Pending
FLOOD
BARRIERS
USAGE OPTIONS:
For ongoing protection: leave in place for
6-8 months.
Continues to reactivate when re-exposed
to water.
To store away and reuse later: allow time for
evaporation, typically 2-3 months of continued
dryness. Drying times vary depending on
environment conditions.
DISPOSAL OPTIONS:
Dispose in the trash when no longer needed.
Cut open and expose contents directly to
sunlight, which will decompose within a few days.
Expose bags to salt or salt water, which will
release the water and deate the bags.
Quick Dams are safe, non-toxic
& environmentally friendly.
PROPER FLOOD BARRIER STACKING:
Pyramid: Overlapped
and Stairstepped
For proper stability,
width should be 3 times height
For secure stability- Be sure that Flood Barriers
are stacked higher than expected water level.
NOTE: Quick Dam Flood Barriers may not be the ideal solution
for all ood control situations.
