While the water weight bag concept is nothing new, several innovative features have been incorporated in Seaflex WaterLoad™ to make the user’s life easier. Filling is by 2½” full bore ‘fire hose’ terminating in quick release couplings compatible with standard hydrants. The 20t & 35t bag invert is fitted with stainless steel female thread to accept a 3” discharge hose which empties a 35t unit in 22 minutes. Similar 2” fittings on the 10t & 5t units ensure minimum discharge times.

Handling the larger water weight units has been greatly eased by delivering them in their own dedicated storage boxes which allows the bag to be hoisted straight out of the box for filling, and when emptied, lowered and flaked back down with minimal site handling. This reduces the manpower required, reduces site time and keeps the bags protected at all times. The intelligent design and versatile filling discharge systems have made Seaflex WaterLoad™ water weights the first choice for increasing numbers of test houses world wide.
