Troubleshooting
Barrier does not expand when wet.
Ensure the barrier is in direct contact with water. If it still doesn't expand, check for any damage that may have compromised its integrity. Make sure it has not expired, if applicable.
Barrier deflates after contact with water.
Check if the barrier has come into contact with saltwater or any chemicals. If so, discard and replace the barrier. Make sure the barrier is not damaged.

Ensure the barrier is properly positioned and in full contact with the ground. Check for gaps or openings where water can seep through.
