Simplicity of Design
The rubber bladder is filled using a blower or water pump which is operated
by a sophisticated yet simple to use control system. The bladder is lowered
by means of an exhaust system, which is backed up by a mechanically
operated failsafe deflation system in case of a power failure.

The number of Arcon AquaPro Rubber Dam installations is growing all the
time as more engineers move away from conventional steel gate dams to
flexible, safer and more reliable rubber dam systems. This trend can be seen
from the rapidly increasing number of installations worldwide.
