  • Yes, the Guppy is able to be used to control, contain and divert chemicals, oils, water and more. Of course, check that the chemicals expected do not affect PVC fabric material.

  • Yes, we recommend adding in a small amount of RV anti-freeze for below freezing temperatures and not filling all the way to capacity. When winter conditions are expected, we recommend filling tubes to about 3/4 full.

  • The Guppy tubes are fairly lightweight before filled with water, so most tubes can be easily carried and transported by hand (larger tubes would benefit from a dolly). When full, the tubes get quite heavy and become more difficult to handle, so we suggest careful placement of tubes prior to filling.

    The folded dimensions and weights of Guppy tubes are as follows:

    G6-10: 17"L x 2.5"H x 10.5"W / 2.9 lbs

    G6-25: 17"L x 4"H x 10.5"W / 6.7 lbs

    G6-50: 17"L x 7"H x 10.5"W / 13.4 lbs

    G6-100: 17"L x 15"H x 10.5"W / 26.5 lbs

    G12-10: 20"L x 2.5"H x 14"W / 7.0 lbs

    G12-25: 20"L x 4"H x 14"W / 13.3 lbs

    G12-50: 20"L x 7"H x 14"W / 27.0 lbs

    G12-100: 20"L x 13"H x 14"W / 53.8 lbs

    G24-50: 39" x 19" x 3" / 54 lbs

    G24-100: 39" x 38" x 3" / 108 lbs

  • The Guppy was designed to be filled with a standard garden hose, however the hose is not screwed into the opening. Simply lay the end of the hose into the fill valve to fill Guppy.

  • Depending on the size of the tube and the flow of your water source, the Guppy could take anywhere from 10 to several hours to fill with a standard garden hose. A typical flow rate for a garden hose is 7-8 gallons per minute. You can see how many gallons are in each tube size on the chart on the Guppy page HERE.

  • You will notice the Guppy rounding out and achieving the full diameter. Be sure not to overfill the flood tube to allow for some flexibility in contouring to the environment.

  • Remove the Translucent drainage cap and the water will start to drain out of the flood berm. You can also lift the end of the Guppy farthest from the drain hole or roll the tube tightly to squeeze water out. To drain water from the Black fill hole valve, you can depress the back-flow tab and water will come out.

  • There is one fill cap (black) covering the fill hole and one drainage cap (clear) on the other side of the tube.

  • The fill hole has a back flow preventer to stop water from coming out, if you need to release some water, press down to release water from the flood dam.

  • You can stagger the units, or purchase visqueen plastic sheeting to spans the two tubes and create a seal. Place the visqueen or similar plastic or pvc fabric material under the two tubes, inflate the tubes and the wrap the plastic sheeting around and over the two tubes, sealing them together. We suggest placing a sandbag over the plastic sheeting to secure the seal and keep it tight.
