5.0 out of 5 stars Easy storage and they work!
Instead of trying to store big bulky sandbags I bought these instead. So easy to store and when I unfortunately needed them they were easy to use and they worked.Downside: had to weigh them down as I put them out dry rather then 'wet' them before, but that was my choice. They also take a very long time to dry out again (but they saved my house so I can deal with the drying time!)
5.0 out of 5 stars Saved us from flooding during the heavy rain
Used this to stop water from flooding into our living room. We share a drain with a neighbour and it lies on their side of the private balcony of our flat but it seems to be blocked up so during heavy rainfall the water baIcks up and fills up the balconies like a bath and eventually breaches the door to the balcony. This has been the only thing that has helped us not to get flooded again. Easily stackable. The gel swells up inside and stays like that even when dry. Not sure how long they last but they have been in place for 4 months and we haven't had any water come through them.
4.0 out of 5 stars Less stress in times of flooding
The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is that I haven't used the bags yet. However, I have them ready in case I'm about to be flooded again so I already feel better prepared & less stressed.
5.0 out of 5 stars So reliable and easy to use
The product was better than expected - put my mind at rest that my leaky roof would not be a problem while I was away from home as the bags were in place soaking up any water coming in
5.0 out of 5 stars Better safe than sorry
Arrived 6 days before due date. Pack of 6 Quick Dam Sandless Sand Bags 600 mm Self Inflating No Sand Required!. Second pack that I have bought. Hope that I don't have to use them. But the way the weather is its better to be safe than sorry. Will update if I use them.
3.0 out of 5 stars Work, but heavy....
These bags are quite effective in stopping water ingress.They come as little more than a long bag of crystals, very light in weight.These crystals absorb water when in contact, and thus become a barrier.Problem is, that after the water recedes they are very heavy to move, and take an age to lose the the absorbed water.If anyone knows of a quick way to reduce their water content, please let me know.
4.0 out of 5 stars Life saver
I wish I could give 100 stars. It is great product. If you have any flooding risk , get them. It will protect you .
3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but ....
These bags would clearly be useful in some situations; until they plump up, they are very light, compact and easy to handle. But, be warned: even when they have taken up as much water as they can, they are still relatively light compared with sand filled bags. This means that they are more easily displaced and washed away than are conventional bags.We've found them useful in the present floods (December 2015) but, for most applications, I couldn't really recommend them as value for money by comparison with conventional bags.
Passed test with flying colors
This one it's not my first order of this Item. I used them during Irma, Maria, Fiona and now Ernesto it manage to contained water sipping into my livingroom and causing damage. if it rains a lot with heavy winds for sure must use them to secure my apartment. And I love how reusable they are if you take care of them. Definitely recommended 👌
Worked well in crawlspace
Bought these for our basement crawl space and they absorbed run-off from a few downpours. It will be a drag to shovel out the residue I guess, when they disintegrate, although better than wet concrete or heavy sandbags. Bought more for next Spring!
Works like a charm
I really appreciate how light weight and ease of placing these bags. I’m a woman in my 60’s with bad knees. I have no problems moving them even after they quickly expand. They kept the water from seeping in.

Not perfect, but nothing else like it. Essential if you deal with basement flooding
SO here's the short review,I bought these 'just in case'. The reviews were mixed, but my basement was going to flood after the snow melted from a WI winter. You can read my experience below. Well it did flood, I caught it at the beginning. I placed these bags down where it was coming up and they absorbed the water and also acted as a barrier to make the steady flow drop down to a very slow trickle that I was able to keep mopped up by placing a towel down in front of the bags. This helped immensely while I got to the source of the flooding. I bought more for next time. Not quite sure if I'll be able to reuse, and I wouldn't necessarily use these again to clean the mess, but if you know where the water is coming in at and place it there, I would use it for that as it does slow down or act as a barrier preventing further mess.The long review with other products:I knew it was inevitable this Spring, my basement was going to flood. No way around it. I hired a lemon of an excavation company last year to stop it, they did the worst job imagineable and made the problem worse. They basically created a basin that collects rain water up against my house and then just DUMPS it into my basement. Plastic sheeting on the outside helps keep the rainwater out, but after a WI winter with heavy snow & ice, I was concerned that I didn't quite make sure I placed enough sheeting down.So, after a day of chunking ice & vacuuming water on the outside so I remove old sheeting and place new down new before March rain... I placed these sensors down.I was pretty confident only a small amount would leak in the usual spot. I thought 3 sensors was more than enough and I'd place the other 2 in areas of mild concern. Well the usual spot didn't leak, my efforts of ice picking and vacuuming (and probably worrying the neighbors) has paid off. The water came from under the house! A sensor went off just as the water was trickling in. I ran to action... placing towels and quick damn bags down to keep the water from flowing in from the area in the floor. I only had maybe 1/4-1/2" of standing water in a low spot of the basement floor. I discovered my sump pump had actually burned out! And my drain tile was overflowing! Now, keep track of all the gadgets I mention in this post if you deal with flooding, because I believe my paranoia saved me this year... I still had messe, but I cleaned them up quickly and my life was only derailed for a few hours vs days like usual. I love my basement when it's dry, I have a little gym down there. Its my version of a she-shed...Not only did I purchase the quick dam bags, I purchased a portable pump in case s#!% hit the fan and the flooding got bad... so when I discovered my sump pump quit working, I was able to drain the basin and draintile in about 20 mins once I set up the portable pump and garden hose. So make sure you have this essential in your power toolkit also! Because when I discovered the pump was out, it was 630 at night in a rural area where every hardware store was closed and the closest Menards is 45 mins away. I would've had to drive there while my house continued to flood. I just kept up with the portable until I could get my sump replaced! You know what they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!So then the 2nd time the sensors went off, it was because I realized after all this mess with my sump pump, I had unplugged my water softener. I plugged it back in, not realizing the thing drains and the drain pipe was not pointed back into my drain basin where the sump pump is. (K, folks, I'm a single mom with NO mechanical ability AT ALL, everything I have learned in this area is because I'm in desperation to fix an issue and I don't have a man to call) So after I plug it in, and I'm all thankful that everything is finally fixed and I probably survived Spring flood season already, I sit down with a cup of coffee so glad that all the above steps were in place and things didn't turn out as bad as they could've, a sensor goes off 😞🤬66 gallons of water from that f'n water softener. Imagine if I didn't have the sensor tho, and I just sat upstairs enjoying life thinking all was peaceful and calm while it just kept pouring water in! I caught it 10 mins in thanks to these and was able to stop the flooding and clean up the mess in an hour.So here's your flooding grocery list:GOVEE Water sensors (these are great, especially if you're away from home like I am!)Quick Dam flood bags (can absorb, act as a barrier to keep water from continuing to flow in)Wet vacuumPortable sump pumpDehumidifierFlashlight that you keep on a hook near the area of flooding because you should cut power to the house until you know its safe to enter without getting electrocutedLots of extra towels to dry up the floor after you've removed the bulk of the water!Husband 🤣🤣🤣 jk
