This is what the press says about Absorbeez:

“It’s in the bag”

“Absorbeez super absorbent bags are pretty amazing things. Dry, they are less than half an inch thick, but put them near water and stand back. At CHT we got our hands on a bag 750mm by 300mm and poured four buckets of water over it, than a hose pipe on it for ten minutes.
The transformation has to be seen to be believed. It swelled up from under half an inch thick to well over 6 inches and I really believe the manufacturer’s claim that a bag that size will hold 20 litres of water.
What’s more, the polymer gel which sucks up water at such a rate holds on to it. The CHT Team has had a small sample bag on its desk all week, swollen and turgid with water, but it just doesn’t leak, even when squeezed hard.
The maker, Action Dry, gives a number of uses for these impressive bags. The bags can be tailor-made to any size if required and thes uper-absorbent polymer is also available in roll form to quickly absorb shallow amounts of water or speed up the drying of carpets.”
“I had water streaming down the kitchen wall under the sink and I was afraid the cupboards and floor would be damaged. Absorbeez were delivered promptly and stopped all the water. Bettter than towels as it actually absorbed and contained the water. I strongly recommend everyone to keep a few at home for emergencies”.
Said Mrs Thompson of Sydney.
The Plumbag was used as it has one impermeable side so that the chipboard cupboard wall did not come into contact with water.
“We store a lot of belongings in the garage except for cars. There is no drain in front of the garage so whenever it rains water comes in under the roller door. We were recommended the 1.8m Absorbeez Double Door and so we have 3 across the outside and 3 along the inside. All our belongings are perfectly dry even after the downpour in Sydney in mid November 2011. Fantastic!”
Said Mrs Albertsen of Sydney. The 1.8m Absorbeez Double Doors are great for garages as less joins means less chance of water getting around the absorbent bags.
“Absorbeez saved us during all the heavy rains Sydney had this month as we were fed up with using lots of towels! We had water flowing in under our front door because the drain out the front is so small. I took a photo before and after. The Absorbeez did a fantastic job of absorbing all the water. I think there is still room to absorb more as it does not seem very full.”
Said Bianca from Sydney during the March 2012 storms. The Absorbeez Double Door was the perfect size for this very wide front door. The photos below show the Absorbeez completely flat before the storm and then after the storm it absorbed the water that came in under the door and stopped the water flowing any further into the house.
Before the storm:
Bianca was still using the same Absorbeez 3 MONTHS LATER during the June 2012 storm:
After the storm:
“We use it as a barrier between 2 properties. I haven’t spoken to the neighbour yet, but it looks impressive. We were able to channel the water around the brick fence and onto the grass to stop water building up and running back under the buildings.”
Said Karen from Brisbane.
During the storms that hit Sydney over the last few days one business was busy protecting their property with Absorbeez. We actually helped them build an 8m long and 1/2m high barrier to protect their basement garage. Their garage has been flooded before as they are towards the end of a narrow street.
Here are some pictures:
During August 2014 the rain was too much for this house in Coogee in Sydney. The water was entering through the gap below the upstairs patio doorway and then leaking into the kitchen below. One Absorbeez Strip Medium put a stop to that!
This is the Strip upon deployment:
This is the Strip after weeks of rain. No more water leaking into the kitchen downstairs!:
The heavy rain during the first week of January 2016 was flowing under the door of a Sydney restaurant. Traditional sandbags were suggested to the owner by many but he thought there was a better way and so he found Absorbeez. The following day after his purchase he sent the following text message:
“Hi James, your product is working a treat! Thanks for your assistance. I will recommend your product. Regards Peter”.
“We were lucky enough to find your product just in time for the terrible storms that hit Sydney in the first week of January.
We had massive amounts of water coming in under our door and as soon as we put the Absorbeez in front of the door, the water stopped and kept the venue dry!
They prevented thousands of dollars of further damage.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone in need. I have a secret stash for a ‘rainy’ day…. ”
“We used some Absorbeez in the recent QLD flooding and were very glad of them – a line of ten redirected some water out through a doorway before it damaged a living space. You never really know how weather proof your house is until the weather comes – nice to have some kind of solution on hand for the unexpected! -Lynette from Brisbane” April 2017
