Minnow™ Water Activated Flood Bags
The Minnow sandbag alternative offers compact storage, incredible water absorption, and a no-mess clean up after a flood.
Unlike sandbags, which must be filled and deployed using a large crew, the Minnow sandless sandbag contains a super absorbent gel, which absorbs water and inflates, creating a durable flood barrier against rising water and flooding. Water dams can be created instantly and efficiently.
Because Minnow is water activated, Minnow bags are stored flat, ready to be transported quickly to the flood site. Flood bags only swell when exposed to water.
In a world where time is valuable when reacting to a flood, these quick bags are a must have tool in your emergency plan.

Protect What Matters Most
Minnow™ provides fast, compact flood protection as a modern alternative to traditional sandbags. Powered by super-absorbent gel technology, each bag activates upon contact with water, expanding instantly to form a durable barrier against rising floodwaters. Stored flat for efficient transport and rapid deployment, Minnow™ eliminates the labor, mess, and logistical challenges of filling sandbags. Designed for emergency preparedness, it delivers clean, efficient flood mitigation when response time is critical.

The secret to the sandless Minnow flood bag is its non-woven outer construction, filled with a hydrophilic SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer), capable of absorbing 39-44 lbs of water. Once inflated, bags provide a dam to prevent and hold back rising and flowing water, similar to traditional sand bags.
Minnow gel filled bags may also be used for quick spill clean up, as Minnow will absorb and lock-in water.
