Will these support heavy exercise equipment? Putting in a home gym, but the basement sometimes floods, so I need something to allow drainage/airflow..

I think it will, the mat body that takes up most of the surface is about 3/8" thick, and about 1/8" is the more flexible/compressible "donuts" that surround the holes in the mat body. BUT, as you add weight you may lose some air circulation airflow under the mat, or at least at the contact points of your equipment and the mat. The mat itself is high density rubber and quite heavy.

Not sure. They have small nubs on the bottom that may crush flat. These nubs are what hold the mat off the floor for water to dry. I bricked them in around my cage bench and left small gaps around the footprint.

Yes they will support the heavy stuff. I use one in the base of a shower and it is perfect in that application. It is a little rough on the bare feet but it works.

I believe they should be. My son used them when out basement flooded w no problem. And he uses them to scrub and hose out the garage.

I don't have the box because I sent mine back so I don't know if they can support the weight. They are some kind of sturdy plastic so they would hold up to any dampness well. Keep in mind that the units would be heavier when full and the washer can vibrate occasionally. If the feet of the lower unit fit in the recessed portion of these they should not skoot off but if they don't drop into the recessed area the skooting is something to think about.

You could, but honestly it's pointless. I use them for heavy bag workouts with some 14oz gloves and they're very supportive. The only thing that lacks support with them is thumb support. I use them for heavy bag workouts under my gloves and they work like a charm.

No I don't think so - they have a small access hole in the bottom like you would use to "blow" them up with air such as with a bike pump but no other access to the inside.

I have no knowledge of how a large wall of these would work for a rising river. I have only used these to prevent water seeping into my basement, not something on such a large scale as river flooding. The bags are heavy when filled with water and would be quite messy if covered with mud and debris.

Absolutely. I do the ski and bicycle movements with buoyant dumbbells that help keep me afloat. You'll have to find what works for you. When I got them, I immediately took half of the weights out.

Yes, they will, but I would not buy them. I am not happy with mine. The first couple times I used them I thought I liked them, but the sides don't fit over them well at all, and I pot one set on top of the other one day (while they had water in them) and the top one fell over and the joining screw broke off. Unrepairable or useable. They also leak if you use water and they tip over. All in all, my weight lifting weights worked better. I bought sand bags for half the price to replace them.

Yes they do support body weight. If twisted it sometimes will lose its suction. I love them and I have not had any problems. They are a great solution if you do not/can't install permanent grab bars.

My wife uses hers on a cement basement floor for P90X workouts and I haven't heard any complaints. If 10 pound weights sit on it overnight, they'll leave an indentation that is semi-permanent, so that speaks to their thickness and cushion. We ended up with two set to get to the size she wanted for the movement exercises...

I have purchased 3 over the years and my gym has them installed.....I have average water pressure and love the direct and strong pressure...I would say that it would be your best bet not having had low water pressure myself.

Unfortunately this is not the area for you. The sides lift as the level of water rises. They will not support themselves.

I agree with Bruce also, these are designed to support the weight of themselves filled. They have a R&D; house sample on their web site as a test. http://www.waterbrick.org/rd-house.php I think if you ran some pipe through the holes and fixed it to a plywood platform some of the weight was born on that the bricks would help hold the pipe. I do know from experience that the corners of these Water Bricks are vulnerable, one fell when I opened the door of my van and even though I slowed the fall with my leg when it hit the pavement the corner caved in and sprung a leak.

Yes, I have been using these for gym workout purposes and I run with them. I have in many cases put enough tension on them and they do not pop out easily.

I think that I would be a miss if I said that they were very strong. I have a back injury so I'm not using them like a regular gym. They are great for my limited use..

Judging from the ones I have, they do look pretty sturdy and I don't think you would have a problem. Plus I think a lot of the moves would work well from your knees, so it wouldn't be your whole body's weight on them. The only concern is that this equipment can put a lot of stress on your shoulders with your weight, so you will have to be careful and not go too deep, definitely do everything from your knees until you build up strength on these motions :)
