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 resuable - 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
ONCE ACTIVATED, USAGE OPTIONS:
Leave in position & reuse
 Grows when re-exposed to water
 Shrinks while evaporating,lasts 6-12 months
 Eventually contents degrade
 As Quick Dams degrade, a “sliminess” will be present
Allow complete evaporation & reuse
 Be sure to keep dry in well ventilated area
 Could take 2 + months depending on humidity
 Once dry “crunchy” - store away for later use
Speed decomposition for disposal
 Leave in direct sunlight for months
 Cut open & expose contents to direct sunlight
 Soak in salt water
 Simply throw in trash
