Filling and Draining Aqua Training Bags

How to fill an Aqua Training Bag?

  1. Hang your Aqua Training Bag® before filling.
  2. First remove plug with a #2 screw driver, or a penny.
  3. Ensure that the plug is removed from the hole. At times the rubber part may get stuck within your Aqua Training Bag®. If it does, be sure to remove it, and then reconnect it to the hard piece of the plug.
  4. Connect the filling nozzle to hose.
  5. Begin filling with, and fill to desired hardness/softness of Aqua Training Bag®.
    1. NOTE: The more water you fill your Aqua Training Bag® with the harder it will be, let out some water if you desire a bit of a softer hit.
  6. If you have filled to your desired amount and there are “wrinkles” top it off with air. You can do this with an inflation needle that pumps up a soccer ball or football, all with keeping the plug inside your Aqua Training Bag. Our black plugs can accommodate the inflation needles.

Other Aqua Training Bag Questions

Will Aqua Training Bags freeze if the temps drop below freezing?

Yes, they will absolutely freeze and no amount of padding in a glove will save you from the pain of hitting a block of ice. So please do not try! OUCH!


Sensor for Aqua Training Bag Questions

Is the punch force measured as pound per square inch, if I see 563?

Strikes are not measured in pounds per inch. The measurement is true force. For example, if you were to lay on the ground and then someone placed a 50-pound weight on your chest, that heavy sensation you are experiencing is the ‘true force’ of the weight pushing down on you.

When the Sensor application registers “100 pounds of force,” this is the user's ability to deliver that level of force. Of course, there are several factors that we must consider when measuring force:

  1. Body weight
  2. Skill level
  3. Surface of the hand/glove
  4. Strength
