How it Works

Automatically Deployed

When someone wearing FlagGuard® enters the water, the orange chamber fills up with water. The pressure from the water pushes the flag up and over the user’s head. When the user gets out of the water, the water drains from the chamber, allowing the flag to retract to its resting position.

The bright orange flag automatically raises and lowers as you enter and exit the water.

Once water enters the orange chamber, the puck begins to rise and pushes the flag up and over the user’s head. Once the user leaves the water, the water is drained and the flag returns to its original position.
