HydraSorber™ Datasheet
The HydraSorber™ product from Watershed Innovations® is an absorbent, self-expanding alternative sandbag solution. The
lightweight HydraSorbers store flat and can simply be placed where there is unwanted water. The water is absorbed and the flow
diverted to protect vulnerable areas from damage.
HydraSorber Applications
With HydraSorber, you’ll be prepared in the event of unexpected and unwanted water flow around your home, business or property.
HydraSorbers come in several sizes. Each size can be used individually or in any combination with the other sizes. HydraSorbers
can be extended and stacked as needed in a multitude of configurations to fit your needs. The outer material and inner super
absorbent polymer are environmentally friendly. After use, HydraSorbers can be safely disposed of once they are no longer
required. With proper care, HydraSorbers can be used continuously for an extended period, providing safety through the storm
season!
*Note: Not for use with salt water.
