People looking to protect their home against the results of a heavy downpour often consider sand bags. However, a filled sandbag soon rots. Similarly, having empty sandbags means that sand has to be found. An alternative is the Aqua-Sac SOS Bag which is a sturdy jute sack containing a water absorbent material. When wet an Aqua-Sac inflates it will retain 13 litters of water and may be reused.  We understand that 10 may be purchased for £49. Whilst not suggesting
that this product is right for every and any situation the HEP Team suggest you visit www.aqua-sac.com  or call 0800 032 7404. Steven Reed has a sample (telephone 01823 680946)
