Product Information

Full details

These Slingsby water-activated flood cubes are designed for homeowners and facility managers seeking an efficient, space-saving alternative to traditional, labor-intensive sandbags. By utilizing a compact, lightweight design that expands into a 20kg protective barrier upon contact with water, they offer rapid defense against flash floods, storms, and localized water damage; however, it is important to note that these cubes are intended for single-use deployment in emergency situations.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can these cubes be reused?

No, these are single-use emergency flood barriers and should be disposed of after the flood event has subsided.

How heavy are they once deployed?

Each cube expands to a weight of 20kg.

How long do they take to activate?

They fully activate and reach their weight capacity within 3-5 minutes of contact with water.

Can I use these to build a very high wall?

The cubes are rated for constructing barriers up to 12m high.

Do I need to fill them with sand?

No, the product is water-activated and does not require sand or any external filling material.

What is the weight before activation?

Each unit weighs only 0.33kg when dry, making them very easy to transport.

Troubleshooting

Cubes are not expanding fully

Ensure the cubes are receiving adequate water volume. If rainfall is insufficient, manually soak them with a hose to trigger activation.

Water is seeping between cubes

Reposition the cubes so they are pressed firmly against one another, creating an overlapping seal to prevent water passage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and portable before activation
  • Rapid 3-5 minute expansion time
  • Easier to store and transport than heavy sandbags
  • Built-in handles improve deployment speed
  • Highly scalable for large or small barrier needs

Cons

  • Single-use product not suitable for repeated deployment
  • Requires access to a water source for activation
  • Heavier physical profile after expansion makes removal manual-intensive

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the barriers, place the dry, lightweight cubes in the desired position. Once they are aligned, introduce water—either by laying them in the path of the incoming flood or by using a hose to saturate them directly. Ensure they are packed tightly together to prevent gaps in the barrier. Compatibility is universal, as they can be used on most floor surfaces, including concrete, pavement, and flooring. Regarding care, the cubes are designed for emergency use and should not be stored in damp, humid environments prior to deployment to ensure the internal expansion material remains dry until needed.
