FloodSax vs Sandbags
- it is easy to see how FloodSax are a much better choice to traditional sandbags - for all uses including floods and spills:

Sandbags:
- must be replaced regularly costing thousands of pounds for big companies and local authorities that need palletised sandbags ready all year round for any emergency.
- can deteriorate if stored for a long time, especially in cold, damp warehouses.
- exceptionally unwieldy to lift and handle with all kinds of health, safety and manual handling technique problems for staff who have to use them at businesses.
- messy with the sand easily washed out and adding to all the damage if they burst.
- difficult and expensive to transport anywhere due to their weight. One box of 20 FloodSax is equal to 20 sandbags on a pallet.
- need a lot of people to move any number of sandbags anywhere.

FloodSax:
- easy to store and can be vacuumed-packed to save even more room.
- always there for peace of mind. No panic to buy sandbags if a flood is forecast.
- can be expanded in water right next to where you need them and stay taut until flood subsides.
- lightweight before they are used with the standard bag weighing just 0.2kg (7 ounces) so can be used by people who would not be able to lift sandbags.
- thousands can be quickly transported in a van, saving on fuel, wages and manpower.
- can be stored in small depots around the area, not one huge central store so can be taken even more quickly to the scene.
- one can be expanded and put down the toilet to block it from filthy water being forced up by the floodwater backing up through the drains and sewer.
- FloodSax don't need sand - one of the earth’s natural resources - and so saves the environment.
