I've had one of these for five years, use it every summer with an outside setup, don't cover it- five summers, rain and shine, the stand is rusted but the bag is in flawless condition. I just empty it in the autumn and put it away for the winter.
@@HighSpinSwingSpeed I don't know what brand it is, just a cheap one off Amazon. I use cinder blocks to keep it in place. I have a Balasz stand in my apartment which is much better but is very expensive and I wouldn't want it to rust and maybe not be dismantable after a full season.
I saw in another video where they first unboxed and filled the bag. The bag material seems very thick and stiff so now I understand why you suggested using air to inflate the bag first. I was thinking along similar lines by putting warm water (not hot) into the bag and letting the plastic/rubber material slowly reform from its' flattened shipping shape before fully filling it and stressing it to the max. A lot of the One Star comments was about the bag splitting and I wonder if filling it with cold water in a cold, flat, stiff bag might be too much stress for the material. In any case, I'd still be afraid to hang it inside my house. In the basement there is a floor drain in case my bag develops a split. Another thing I would have liked to have seen was some sort of metal/plastic circular ring or half circle between the "D" shackle and the rubber mounting hole - to spread the stress over a larger area. But, it may not be needed since I haven't read of any failures in that area.
Anti freeze works! I tried and left it there all winter. For this size 10 - 14 Oz of anti freeze is enough. However! You can’t get the antifreeze by simply pouring. I actually used injector to pressure press it inside the bag
Just a tip. I have had my 21" bag for 2.5 years and what I did was fill it with water 3/4 full, then with a hand pump I filled it with air till the wrinkles went away (shove the needle of the hand or foot bike tire air pump all the way in). The wrinkles are very hard to hit in cold weather. I used a ladder to place the foot tire air pump on and filled it with air till the wrinkles went away.
Hi Carlo, Thank you for your Aqua punching bag and its sensor device video. Again, another excellent video by you in which I had purchased an Aqua punching bag seven months ago and everything you've had mentioned in this video was very accurate and it is a very good punching bag to have. Please keep up your outstanding boxing & equipment videos. Best regards, Kenny
I put anti-freeze in my buoy to be able to hang it outside and it was just fine even when it was -10°C for a prolonged period of time recently. (Just mix the water and anti-freeze to the correct proportions for whatever temperature you want the buoy to handle). I also made a smaller buoy to work as a headhunter bag that I store in my basement and hang up whenever I want to use it. I believe you recommended that in an older video?
i was curious about that more so because the buoy material gets cold as well and it stiffens up. i guess the material contracts substantially in mild cold but doesn't expand much from very high temperatures.
you can add a $5 shutoff valve to the end of the hose, so you don't have to return to the spigot. You're essentially bringing the spigot to the bag's end of the hose
Finally answered my question I’ve been researching for months. The aqua bag IS a different material than the bouy and IS softer than the bouy vinyl. My aqu bag arrives soon. I almost got the bouy.
Appreciate you carlo we great review I have a lot great boxing equipment because of your review bro keep up can't wait until do the kwelus pro spring we got so people see how good the spring really is 🔥 up load
You can buy valve adapters for the regular Water Buoys like the red thing you have in the corner. You can get them very low money (youtube censoring the word beginning with ch) searching "Polyform U.S. Inflation Adaptor compassmarine" Its a universal pump adapter, I imagine it must be possible to adapt the sensor to fit it or to attach a general Pressure Gauge. I presume its just a pressure gauge in the sensor, which is why one side measures more than the other, and why they want water seeping out, to create a tight seal.
RE: maybe I had a bad batch considering the rubber plug + a car tier compressor could help inflating the bag Living in Belgium, I bought mine online from the Netherlands. It's a great training bag but ... on mine the plug and the reserve plug both had their tip part break off with only rather soft screwing. The one that was in it, even broke off during the first unscrewing! I work as a technician, so I know not to apply any more pressure than needed ... so I'm sure I was careful. Luckily because of the rather weird design of the plug, it almost looks as if it is intended to happen (which is what I thought at first because it happened so easy) ... fortunately the part that broke lose also had a rubber stem that goes rather deep into the other part of the plug, so ... some superglue fixed the issue and because of the big area of contact, it holds excellently. To me it seems like the plug isn't made in one part, which results in the weakness. Keep a long nosed plyers or a good strong tweezers at hand + superglue and you'll be fine ^^ ---- Also the garden hose adapter didn't fit my Gardena EU type garden hose nozzle ... so I had to hold the hose and nozzle adapter together with my hand. Since I put the bag in my attic gym, I ended up not using the garden hose (connected to my washing machine water tab) but instead used my bathtub shower hose to fill the bag and just lift it up one stairs to the attic. I chose the 70 lb / 35 kg version so I could handle it myself with relative ease. I can recommend it. It doesn't put a lot of strain on the beams of the roof in my attic, it feels good to my wrists, ... . You won't regret getting this smaller version AND you can manage it all on your own. If you were to get a heavier version ... you will need a second person to help, especially if you live in a penthouse without a garden and need to fill the bag. --- Since I didn't have a compressor on hand, I had some difficulty to make the bag become round since it came a bit canoe-shaped out of the box. Since I put it in my bathtub, I could use warm (not hot) water It wasn't too hard but also not easy to get the bag to become ball shaped. I had to fill it as far is it would and use my hands to push on the bag to take shape. Eventually it worked with some patience. I would recommend using e.g. a 12v car adaptor car tier compressor and just inflate the bag next to the car before filling it with water.
My bag just ripped above the hole where you fill it. Im so not happy 😆 Good vid my brother and pinch (fold in half) the hose to close the flow of the water. And antifreeze will work in winter
GREAT VIDEO CARLO REGARDING THIS EXPENSIVE PRODUCT I PURCHASED THE BAD BOY BLUE “21” INCH ONE AND JUST ORDERED THE SENSOR AFTER VIEWING “YOUR GREAT VIDEO FOOTAGE” I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE SMALLER ONE BUT YOU SEE I HAVE THE EVERLAST OLD SCHOOL BAG STAND WITH THE SPEEDBAG PLATFORM I HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT YET BUT I’M COUNTING ON THAT EXTRA 90 LBS WEIGHT ON THAT WATER BAG WOULD BETTER STABILIZE MY SPEEDBAG PLATFORM ALONG WITH THE 3 SAND BAG ANCHORS I HAVE ON TOP OF THE PLATFORM I’M 68 YEARS OLD NOW BUT I KNOW THIS AQUA WATER BAG WILL BE BETTER FOR MY JOINTS AND MAKE MY WORKOUTS LAST LONGER, AND NOW YOU SHOWN ME HOW TO USE THE SENSOR TO KEEP TRACK OF MY WORKOUTS WITH IT I CAN NOT WAIT TO STARTED. I’M GOING TO MOVE MY 100 LBS. RINGSIDE HEAVYBAG TO MY OTHER CENTURY BOXING STAND. THANKS AGAIN CARLO ON YOUR GREAT REVIEWS ON BOXING EQUIPMENT I PICKED UP A LOT OF GREAT TIPS FROM THIS REVIEW AND OTHERS.
Nice review. I'm considering getting the 15 inch Aqua bag (£110) or the A2 polyform buoy (also 15inch for £35). But the aqua bag is £75 ($105) more expensive than the polyform, would you say the aqua bag is still worth considering due to the softer feel of the fabric? I am happy to pay more if there would be some significant benefit particularly if it's easier on joints?
You don’t even need to get poly form, buy the taylor made brand buoys and you’ll literally get an aqua bag for less than half the price, if you haven’t bought em anything a month longer that is
I had one of those Aqua Training Bag thinking it would be easier on my hands, but for me it was like hitting wet cement; no bueno for my hands. I just ordered the Ringside 55 lb. Head Shot Heavy Bag per your recommendation and hopefully it'll be easier on my hands. Cheers!!!
a lot of people forget to squeeze excess air our of the bag whilst filling it with water. This is what causes that hardness. I have used the same bag and it feels really good in fact a lot easier on the hands compared to other filled bags.
Another great video. I also have the 18" aquabag, so I guess this addition should be a no brainer? Also what gloves are those? I don't remember seeing a thumbless glove on the Rival website.
Never tried the sensor, but I love the aqua bag. I'd never go back to a traditional heavy bag. The ability to throw uppercuts is a game changer for your training. Looks like you need to add more water though, thats why you have the wrinkles. If you can remove that plug and water doesn't immediately start shooting out, then you still lots of space to add water to get rid of those wrinkles in the bag
I have the 21" D Orange One Eye Round Inflatable Buoy. It looks identical your aqua bag. I might get the sensor just to see if it fits. It's heavy as hell though. I ended up buy the 1 Ton Manual Chain Hoist you recommended.
Great content! Looks like you can really work body shots too. I'm very interested in getting this but one concern. I have limited space where I'd hang it in my home gym in the basement. I'll have to take it down when I want to use my bench press, etc in the same space. I know you showcased the 18" and that's 120#s. Obviously, a pain in the ass to hang/rehang solo. Thinking about the 15" cuz that's significantly less weight at 75# and more managable. Question: Do you think the 15# is large enough to work body shots based on your experience with the 18#?
even at 75 pounds lifting the thing will be dreadful. it's not like lifting any other solid object. the water moves and puts all of the weight on half of your body. maybe if you can rig up a pulley system?
I hit too hard for my own good and my wrist are aching with or without gloves. I'm really looking at one of those aqua bags. It's just I'd have to get my peanut bag out and I love that thing 😞. Antifreeze purpose is to prevent water from freezing and it's not as corrosive to the engine blocks. I wonder though, who corrosive might it be to the aqua bag.
Bit of advice, fill the bag up more with water, I had one split after a left hook when it wasn’t fully filled like the one you have used for the review. Aqua training bag replaced it so props to them👍🏻 great review.
@@m.israel2209 no idea I’ve never weighed it, you just don’t want the bag to have any indentation as that’s were my bag split when I hadn’t filled it enough. I do live in a Scotland so it could be that the cold weather contributed. I’ve filled my replacement bag up more and it’s been perfect.
I think you just had a defect because aqua bag guys literally just colored a taylor made tuff end buoy, which is literally meant to stop boats from smashing into docks, so there’s no real strength worries with these things. Maybe a hairline weakness along the seam
@@ethanwilliamson782 i agree. plus canelo's hooks aren't ripping everlast hydrostrikes in half. some people will fill the rest of the bag up with air to remove the indentations. in the case of the everlast though, their directions specifically say to only fill it 80%, filling with air is good but not necessary, and finally they come with a 2 year warranty... i'm pretty sure aqua bag says the same. they make set ups for kids to hit them with baseball bats now!
So why didn’t you show the Mount you used ? I would like to see what mount you used since the ones aqua sells are ridiculously expensive. Also I was debating between the 18” or the 15 “ for my garage. I park my car inside the garage as well so I’m wondering now if the 18 would be a perfect fit for me.
Two things I forgot to mention in the video: The aqua sensor does NOT fit the polyform aqua buoys. The thread and diameter of the fill hole is completely different. If you have to fill the bag yourself, you can get a garden hose shut off valve adapter that you can screw on the end of the hose. That way you can turn the water on and control the flow from next to the bag without water spraying everywhere. Food for thought.
Or one of those snake flexible hoses that expand with water and coil up when off. They have a shut off valve built on them. The iGrass brand on Amazon has lasted me a year so far with heavy use. 100ft, and would never use a traditional hose now, they’re bad ass!
Is the aqua sensor thread larger or smaller than the polyform? If the thread is larger, then it should be possible to 3d print and adapter. Please let me know! Thanks
Hey I got one of these at home and just took me 2 hours to take down because it was extremely hard for me to push up the aqua bag while it was filled and hanged. What is the best way to get these down? Any tools you recommend to take down the bag or any method of draining other than trying to push the bag up and tilt?
I'm planning on buying the 18" bag, but the problem is the only place where i can attach it to, is where the attachment point would be 15" from the wall. So the bag would have about 7.5" of clearance from the wall (if i understood the dimensions correctly). Would you think that would work? I've understood that the aqua bags don't create as much movement compared to traditional heavy bags. And the attachment point would be pretty low so the chains could be quite short, which would also reduce movement. Also, the place would be in my living room, so how much noise would hitting it create? I guess one could wrap the chains with something so that could help a bit.
That would work, and you’re correct aqua bags are typically more stationary because they absorb the energy of the shot much better than a traditional heavy bag with bounces/ swings more
Is the aquabag as good of a cardio workout as a traditional heavy bag? I wanna buy one but not if I don’t get the great cardio workout I get from the heavy bag. Thanks!
I just scored a 21" Taylor Made Buoy on eBay for $50! I am 6' 4" 260 and was wondering what affordable/budget gloves/size you might recommend for me to use just for striking this water bag? Thanks! Great content as always BTW! :)
for affordable but quality gloves I would go with some Rival Boxing gloves and as for size 16oz. gloves are pretty versatile however I personally like using 12oz. gloves… hope that helps!
@@csquaredboxing not true, both Taylormade bags and aqua are 3mm thick I've cut through both... the owner of Aquabag (newyorkboxingandfitness) bashes on people trying to save money on instagram.. Its awesome having different colors but when you are charging that much of a premium to a lot of fighters/people who are already low on cash is shady.. it's tough times out here
Hey Carlos does it come with the chain to hang it from or did you get that separately would love it if you got back to me soon I’m going to be buying it this Friday since it’s my birthday
How can you measure the strength of your punches against others? Do you know what the average boxer punches in lbf? I just have no idea what any of it means - I know it’s pound of force but what is that and what does my number compare to other boxers
I have the red buoy but the buoy is harder but doesnt work you the way the aqua bag does. The aquas makes you dig and it drains your power you have to work harder
What does “lbf” stand for ? And how can I make sure my number is good? I love the sensor and love the app! However, I noticed that my numbers are going up in that “ibf” (due to maybe training better and being more consistent in my training)
I apologize if this is covered later in the video (still watching). I already set up a mount in my garage gym, and really only have room for one bag at a time. I ordered one of the smaller headhunter Aqua bags, but also want one of the big ones. How am I gonna switch them out without having to drain the big bag everytime? That seems like a pain in the ass! Really excited to use the bags, but I wanna utilize the different sizes. Theoretically, would I be able to safely lift the large bags off the chain and place it on the ground while I use the smaller one? Thanks
Bro you’re killing it with these uploads.
My home gym is looking 🔥 thanks to you and these videos.

@@BTboxing don’t know if you don’t know my son
Wow so... I have one coming from Amazon in the next couple days. Def sending that shit back. Wish I had seen this before hand.
swear I just googled this trying to find a website for a better deal 🤣🤣
I saw in another video where they first unboxed and filled the bag. The bag material seems very thick and stiff so now I understand why you suggested using air to inflate the bag first. I was thinking along similar lines by putting warm water (not hot) into the bag and letting the plastic/rubber material slowly reform from its' flattened shipping shape before fully filling it and stressing it to the max. A lot of the One Star comments was about the bag splitting and I wonder if filling it with cold water in a cold, flat, stiff bag might be too much stress for the material. In any case, I'd still be afraid to hang it inside my house. In the basement there is a floor drain in case my bag develops a split. Another thing I would have liked to have seen was some sort of metal/plastic circular ring or half circle between the "D" shackle and the rubber mounting hole - to spread the stress over a larger area. But, it may not be needed since I haven't read of any failures in that area.
Great idea! Filling it with warm water to let it stretch out is a lot more feasible than pumping compressed air into the Aqua Bag for most of us.
Anti freeze works! I tried and left it there all winter. For this size 10 - 14 Oz of anti freeze is enough. However! You can’t get the antifreeze by simply pouring. I actually used injector to pressure press it inside the bag
Just a tip. I have had my 21" bag for 2.5 years and what I did was fill it with water 3/4 full, then with a hand pump I filled it with air till the wrinkles went away (shove the needle of the hand or foot bike tire air pump all the way in).

Hi…great review…Is the data stored in the cloud?…also is there a temp user/guest mode or does everyone need to login with their own ID?…Tks.
I bought a very cheap hose nozzle at the hardware store that had a valve on it. Less than five dollars.

Just an idea from a guy with no friends. Pinch the hose a few inches away from the adapter and maintain control while the water is running.

@@ethanwilliamson782 i agree. plus canelo's hooks aren't ripping everlast hydrostrikes in half. some people will fill the rest of the bag up with air to remove the indentations. in the case of the everlast though, their directions specifically say to only fill it 80%, filling with air is good but not necessary, and finally they come with a 2 year warranty... i'm pretty sure aqua bag says the same. they make set ups for kids to hit them with baseball bats now!
Great review Bro
Thanks
Great review man,thanx
🙏🏼🥊
So why didn’t you show the Mount you used ? I would like to see what mount you used since the ones aqua sells are ridiculously expensive. Also I was debating between the 18” or the 15 “ for my garage. I park my car inside the garage as well so I’m wondering now if the 18 would be a perfect fit for me.
Fantastic Review!
Thanks!
Two things I forgot to mention in the video:
The aqua sensor does NOT fit the polyform aqua buoys. The thread and diameter of the fill hole is completely different.
If you have to fill the bag yourself, you can get a garden hose shut off valve adapter that you can screw on the end of the hose. That way you can turn the water on and control the flow from next to the bag without water spraying everywhere.
Food for thought.
Or one of those snake flexible hoses that expand with water and coil up when off. They have a shut off valve built on them. The iGrass brand on Amazon has lasted me a year so far with heavy use. 100ft, and would never use a traditional hose now, they’re bad ass!
Is the aqua sensor thread larger or smaller than the polyform? If the thread is larger, then it should be possible to 3d print and adapter. Please let me know! Thanks
Another nice review!
Bit of tape might help the popping filler issue?
Yes, tape, OR, a shut off valve at the end of the hose so you can control the flow from next to the bag
Hey I got one of these at home and just took me 2 hours to take down because it was extremely hard for me to push up the aqua bag while it was filled and hanged. What is the best way to get these down? Any tools you recommend to take down the bag or any method of draining other than trying to push the bag up and tilt?

build some muscle
That's my dream bag
Nice
Thank you for this review. Will the sensor work with the orange Taylor made buoy?
It doesn’t
Thank you for your fast reply.
I wish I can get this but I live in a apartment currently
Do you use a spring with thatbwhen hangingit? Any recommendations hanging it through/on ceiling joist?
Yes it’s from ringside
Great review
Great video.
Did you try putting this on the polyform?
I would think it would work.
Thanks! Wont work with the polyform as they’re different sizes and threads
I need a soft punching bag since I have elbow tendonitis
Hi would there be any difference between the aqua brand and any of the other cheaper makes
How do you drain it safely after the "Aqua Training Bag" is installed?
I'm planning on buying the 18" bag, but the problem is the only place where i can attach it to, is where the attachment point would be 15" from the wall. So the bag would have about 7.5" of clearance from the wall (if i understood the dimensions correctly). Would you think that would work? I've understood that the aqua bags don't create as much movement compared to traditional heavy bags. And the attachment point would be pretty low so the chains could be quite short, which would also reduce movement. Also, the place would be in my living room, so how much noise would hitting it create? I guess one could wrap the chains with something so that could help a bit.
That would work, and you’re correct aqua bags are typically more stationary because they absorb the energy of the shot much better than a traditional heavy bag with bounces/ swings more
@@csquaredboxing Thanks, really appreciate you taking the time to always answer here.
Is the aquabag as good of a cardio workout as a traditional heavy bag? I wanna buy one but not if I don’t get the great cardio workout I get from the heavy bag. Thanks!
Yes it is
What is louder to punch in my garage 75lb bag or 190?
I wonder where I can buy it. I am in China
what's the maintenance like? how often should you change the water? any chemicals need to be added to avoid algae and other yuk from forming? thanks.
It’s an aqua punching bag, not a swimming pool
@@csquaredboxing yuk!!!
I just scored a 21" Taylor Made Buoy on eBay for $50! I am 6' 4" 260 and was wondering what affordable/budget gloves/size you might recommend for me to use just for striking this water bag? Thanks! Great content as always BTW! :)
for affordable but quality gloves I would go with some Rival Boxing gloves and as for size 16oz. gloves are pretty versatile however I personally like using 12oz. gloves… hope that helps!
Why is the valve not at the top so you can fill it to the top I have 21" love it
it needs some air to expand
@@csquaredboxing fair enough ,
Woah, nice. I remember when you uploaded your Polyform video. Would you say there’s a difference or basically the same?
different than the polyform yes but same as the Taylormade boat bouy they both say Taylormade
Taylor made isn’t as stiff
@@csquaredboxing not true, both Taylormade bags and aqua are 3mm thick I've cut through both... the owner of Aquabag (newyorkboxingandfitness) bashes on people trying to save money on instagram.. Its awesome having different colors but when you are charging that much of a premium to a lot of fighters/people who are already low on cash is shady.. it's tough times out here
@@12thRoundBoxing I know that. I was saying that aqua bag isn’t as stiff as the polyform.
Ok the sensor seems cool and well thought out. Is it weather proof for outdoor use?
Will the sensor for the bruiser bag model?
Hey Carlos does it come with the chain to hang it from or did you get that separately would love it if you got back to me soon I’m going to be buying it this Friday since it’s my birthday
Separately
How can you measure the strength of your punches against others? Do you know what the average boxer punches in lbf? I just have no idea what any of it means - I know it’s pound of force but what is that and what does my number compare to other boxers
when is the kewlus spring vid coming ?
Next few weeks
@@csquaredboxing nice
I have the red buoy but the buoy is harder but doesnt work you the way the aqua bag does. The aquas makes you dig and it drains your power you have to work harder
👍🏼🥊
What does “lbf” stand for ? And how can I make sure my number is good? I love the sensor and love the app! However, I noticed that my numbers are going up in that “ibf” (due to maybe training better and being more consistent in my training)
pounds of force
I apologize if this is covered later in the video (still watching). I already set up a mount in my garage gym, and really only have room for one bag at a time. I ordered one of the smaller headhunter Aqua bags, but also want one of the big ones. How am I gonna switch them out without having to drain the big bag everytime? That seems like a pain in the ass! Really excited to use the bags, but I wanna utilize the different sizes. Theoretically, would I be able to safely lift the large bags off the chain and place it on the ground while I use the smaller one? Thanks

@csquaredboxing awesome dude. Thanks.
@@jakepayne2985 no prob
How many oz is the glove you are using in the beginning of the video?
I heard you say it's only for with the Aqua training bag... Is that excluding the Taylormade bouy
i’m not sure haven’t tried the standard taylor made buoys yet
@@csquaredboxing after studying it, i saw that it will... I ordered it and will confirm when it arrives.
@@mrjayd02 were you able to install the sensor on a Taylor Made buoy?
Yes it does work with the Taylor Made Buoy. It doesn't work with the polyform Buoy that one can get from Amazon.
i guess we also need to be carefull not to punch the sensor accidentally
pretty much
What is the actually technical term for those water wrecking balls?
Aqua buoy
Yeh...the sensor is $174 on the Aqua site...it's just an accelerometer and costs more than most heavy bags on the market.
👍🏼🥊
Does the censor work for other bag sizes? Also would the same size work for a heavyweight boxer?
It works for the other aqua punching bags (same brand) and yes this size is suitable for a heavyweight
21 inch or 18 inch? I feel like 18 might swing too much?
Up to you bro, all personal preference
This the bag I wanting whAT SIZE IT
Hey, I hear some ppl say if it’s cold they are like hitting concrete? Any though? Thanks!
The rubber is a little harder in colder climates
What weight is this rated for? Could i Install this onto a regular drywall ceiling?
As long as you’re connecting to a stud
Hi mate, do you think the 190lb bag would be too heavy for a 2 x 6 joist ?
Yes, I would brace a piece between two joists and hang from there
hey man, how heavy is the bag after filled? and will you recommend it to be hung to a ceiling or a bracket?
About 100-120 hang to stud
@@csquaredboxing thank you brother 🤝🙏
Smart man
Why’s is not full?
Could you please tell what kind of Rival bag gloves you are using in this video?
Rb3
@@csquaredboxing Thank you
Would you recommend polyform or taylormade?
Both are great
you should review boon bag gloves
👍🏼🥊
Which lbs is the aqua bag
Is it thicker than a regular water buoy?
No
