Guppy - Water Filled Flood Tubes
The Guppy™ Water Filled Flood Control Tube is a practical, reusable solution for redirecting floodwater and helping protect homes, commercial premises, infrastructure, equipment and event spaces. Simply position the tube where protection is required, fill it with water and allow its weight to form a durable temporary flood barrier.
Available in multiple diameters and lengths, Guppy™ tubes can be used individually or combined to create extended flood protection. After use, the tube can be drained, rolled up and stored ready for the next flood threat.
Standard Guppy™ tubes are available in 6", 12" and 24" diameters, with lengths including 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft and 100 ft. For larger-scale protection, Guppy™ MAX measures 40" in diameter and 30 ft in length. White tubes are also available for tent and event applications.
Guppy™ provides an economical and straightforward flood diversion solution for residential, commercial and municipal applications. When filled with water, each tube becomes heavy and forms a temporary barrier designed to help redirect rising floodwater away from vulnerable areas.
Its flexible design makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from protecting individual entrances to creating larger perimeter barriers around buildings and valuable infrastructure.
Move the unfilled Guppy™ to the area requiring protection and completely unroll the tube before filling it.
Locate the black fill cap at the end of the Guppy™ and connect a standard garden hose. Fill the tube until it becomes properly rounded and stable.
Once the flood threat has passed, remove the drainage cap and allow the tube to empty completely. After draining, roll the tube carefully to remove remaining water before storing it.
Use Guppy™ Seaming Strips to join compatible Guppy flood tubes and create a longer, continuous protective barrier. The connector wraps around adjacent tubes and uses industrial Velcro to help keep sections aligned and minimise gaps where water could pass through.
Seaming Strip Connectors are available in 6", 12" and 24" sizes to correspond with the appropriate Guppy™ tube diameter. Each connector size is designed to be used with the matching tube size.
Choose the tube diameter and length according to the required water diversion and protection area. Multiple sections can be combined when a longer barrier is required.
| Tube Diameter | Available Lengths | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 6" | 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 100 ft | Light-duty water diversion and smaller protection areas |
| 12" | 10 ft, 25 ft, 50 ft, 100 ft | General floodwater diversion and property protection |
| 24" | 50 ft, 100 ft | Larger flood protection requirements |
| 40" Guppy™ MAX | 30 ft | Large-scale flood protection applications |
The 24" Guppy™ configuration provides a larger temporary water barrier for applications requiring increased flood diversion capability. The 50 ft and 100 ft configurations can be used individually or connected where additional barrier length is required.
The 24" tube options are supplied in the following configurations:
Guppy™ flood control tubes are manufactured from high-quality composite PVC mesh designed to provide strength, flexibility and resistance for demanding flood protection applications.
For freezing conditions, the supplied product guidance recommends using RV anti-freeze and keeping the tube no more than three-quarters full where freezing is expected.
For larger-scale flood protection requirements, Guppy™ MAX provides an oversized water-filled barrier measuring 40" in diameter and 30 ft in length. Its larger dimensions provide an increased temporary barrier profile for demanding water diversion applications.
Learn more about the Guppy™ water filled flood protection system and how these reusable barriers can be deployed for flood diversion applications.
Unlike disposable flood barriers, Guppy™ tubes can be drained and stored after use, allowing them to be redeployed when another flood threat arises. Their flexible construction also makes them practical for temporary protection where permanent flood defence systems are not required.
For additional flood-preparedness planning, an optional dewatering pump can be added to help manage excess water collected on flat surfaces. This can complement the Guppy™ barrier system where water needs to be removed from protected areas.
Guppy™ flood tubes are designed as temporary water diversion and flood protection barriers. Select the appropriate diameter, length and configuration for the site conditions and required protection area. Follow the manufacturer's filling, drainage, storage and cold-weather guidance when deploying the product.
