It is designed to build high flood barrier walls and do not slip and slide off one another when stacked high. With the 9 chamber internal design, the FloodSax inflate fairly evenly and do not require extra time and effort to even out the bag and its content. From the photo of the Salt water barrier compliant FloodSax (Quick Dam is NOT salt water barrier compliant), you can see outline of the patented design of the Flood Sack. The Quick Dam sandbag alternative is longer, but shorter in width than the FloodSax flood bag. Here is an image of both the inflated, water-filled sandless sandbags side by side. 2 to 3 inches in height is very low, when compared to standard sandbags. Time and effort needs to be taken to flatten out and evenly distribute the bag's content.Īfter the Quick Dam instant sandbag is padded down by hand to distribute the polymer contents, one can see that the bag's average height is only 2-3 inches high. When pulling out the Quick Dam sandbag alternative right out of the fresh water bucket, the result is a lopsided bag. Additionally, there is more time spent evening out the bag, by pushing the contents around to distribute the polymers. The result of such a simple design allows the polymer content to slip and slide around in the flood bag, making it NOT ideal for stacking flood barrier walls. This bag inflates unevenly to one side, because the polymers are in pillowcase like bag, where the contents are in one large section. Here we review how a Quick Dam Flood Barrier product, the Quick Dam sandless sandbag inflates with fresh water (not with salt water). Although the price point of a Quick Dam sandless sandbag is less than that of a FloodSax / flood sack, one can clearly see that one is getting less material and content to absorb liquid and fight floods, leaks and spills. The photo of the Quick Dam Flood bag next to FloodSax says it all. The more the polymer filling in the flood bag, the more volume capacity the bag has to 1) divert flowing waters 2) fight flood waters and 3) the more water/liquid it can absorb. Why is it important to compare the amount of filling content of the instant sandbags? The very polymer is what inflates the bag, which is used to fight flooding disasters and also is used as the absorbent for leak and spill applications. Review on the amount of Polymer Contents in Quick Dam Flood Barrier product Clearly Quick Dam flood barrier products have less filling, when compared to FloodSax sandbag alternatives. This comparison allows a visual demonstration of the amount of polymer contents of each bag. Here both the Quick Dam bags and the Flood Sacks are folded.

Quick Dam Flood Barrier product Review Sandless Sandbags. *Its USPTO patented design allows of the FloodSax to stack higher sandbags, therefore building some of the highest flood barrier walls. On the left you will see that the Quick Dam Flood barrier bag has very little polymer filling, while the white FloodSax sandbag alternative had an evenly distributed filling. This is a view of both flood bags opened up completely without being activated by water. Lets first take a look at one of the Quick Dam's Flood Barrier product the Quick Dam Sandless sandbag (in black on the left) compared to the FloodSax / Flood Sacks flood bag (on the right). Lets face it, there are many instant sandless sandbag alternatives on the market and it can be a difficult to try and figure out the right sandbag alternative for your needs.
