17 ft water-activated flood barrier
The Quick Dam QD617-1 is a polypropylene barrier that expands on contact with fresh water to form a 17 ft line. It arrives flat at 3-1/2 in. high and 9 in. wide, then swells to a 4 in. thickness to block doorways, garages or low entry points. The barrier supports a 2.375 lb. weight capacity once activated and is designed for single-use deployment.
Not for salt water or permanent installation
This barrier replaces sandbags for rapid response but cannot be reused after it dries. It is unsuitable for coastal flooding, seawater exposure or situations requiring a permanent seal. Buyers needing a reusable system or salt-water resistance should choose a different product.

Questions about this item
How much flat ground space does the 17 ft barrier need when laid out?
The barrier requires a 17 ft by 9 in. clear area. Remove debris so the polypropylene sleeve contacts the surface evenly before water activates it.
What is the most common mistake during setup?
Users often skip pre-wetting the barrier. The polypropylene must absorb water to swell to its 3-1/2 in. height and form a seal.
