For every 1ft of height needed, extend the base by 3ftTips & TricksDuring first activation, we recommend checking on them to make sure they are directing water as desired. Adjustments may be necessary as landscaping can alter water flow.Bags & Barriers should be stacked higher than water level for stability and to prevent them from floating away.Barriers are flexible and can be curved or wrapped.Barriers have a dual chamber, place wider edge towards water & smaller wedge away from water to prevent rolling out of position.Pre-Soaking is recommended prior to stacking or if heavy rain or water flow is expected.Staining may occur in instances where the surface is porous or unfinished cement is present. Remove from area when no longer needed.Porous surfaces like unfinished cement cause excessive seepage, since they are both trying to absorb water. Plastic barrier film in between, may help.For use in the winter/snow months, make sure they are fully activated before freezing temperatures occur to assure maximum protection when the snow is melting. We do not recommend moving them while frozen to prevent any tearing of the outer material. Also, salt on the roads should not come in contact with Quick Dams. To help, pre-activate Quick Dams with water & then wrap plastic under & over the top to prevent the salt from making contact.Do NOT use around salt water, lime or calcium. These will cause the inner absorbent to release the water & deflate the product making it useless.Flood Bags & Barriers will not fully activate unless enough water is present.Once activated by water they can be used as a barrier against other oils & chemicals.Leave in place for 3-6 months of ongoing protection. Shrinking will occur as they dry out, but they will swell again once re-exposed to water.Length of time to dry out varies on climate. Average is about 3 months as higher humidity levels tend to take longer.Once completely dry, they will feel crunchy and ready for reactivation. Smooth the contents to evenly distribute the super absorbent polymers.Direct sunlight causes the product to degrade at a rapid pace, which will result in the product feeling slimy.Do NOT cut. The inner contents will be exposed and will make the product unusable. Storage & Shelf LifeBags unused, have a 5+ year shelf life.Store in sealed bag for maximum term.Keep on hand for immediate deployment.How to DisposeThrow away in trash.Quick Dams are safe: Pet friendlyNon-toxicEnvironmentally SafeOptional- great soil additive to help retain moisture- cut open & spread/ blend contents on lawn or garden (NOTE- will be VERY slippery until it degrades & disappears)

Review: Worked. - Was very skeptical about these. But I needed something. My area has so much rain and a bit was leaking into my basement. Figured I'd try these right before an expected big, all day and night, storm. They worked. No water. I put them outside, soaked them, thought, this isn't going to work and I was wrong. I have no ides if these would work for more water than what was in my basement. I can only say, after using these the first time, no water in mine.
Review: Seems like good quality - Haven't had the need to try it yet but it looks durable and easy to use. The price was right so it was worth a try. Will update once it's been used.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i use in standing water?**
A: Depends on how much water. They are flat when you put them down and they fill up with water. They work great on my back porch where I do get some flooding.

**Q: Do these just block water or do they absorb it also?**
A: they absorb water and also block water from coming in...they are great!!

**Q: mine are not absorbing and look same as when I took out of package. Duds????**
A: Sometimes the stuff inside that absorbs settles on one end.  Try shaking them to redistribute the crystals.  That might work.

**Q: Can they be used indoors to divert water**
A: These work well to contain water to an area in my basement  I have not used it to divert water. I put down 2 layers of the bags,you need to disperse the actvating powder in them
