What are FloodSax?

They’re a new kind of flood defence system which takes only a few minutes to act, this product replaces sandbags; they’re highly recommended. FloodSax do what sandbags do – but they’re like pillow cases full of hundreds of absorbent crystals that weigh no more than half a pint of water. Weighing only 0.2kg; even a child can lift one when they’re empty. In less than 5 minutes from scratch they are ready to give you more protection than a sandbag. They’re ready in minutes to keep flood water out of your business or home.

How do FloodSax work?
