# How to store and care your FlowStop ?

### Is maintenance required to keep it in good condition ?

You just should inflate your anti-flood barrier FlowStop once a year to ensure that it is in good condition.

### What should be done after it is used ?

You should clean it with clean water to ensure that no material is left on the surface of the device.

### Can the FlowStop be kept deflated or should it remain inflated ?

We have designed the FlowStop to make everything as simple as possible, whether it is installation, use or storage: it can therefore be deflated and stored flat on a shelf or hung on a wall thanks to the handles.

### Can the FlowStop be rolled or folded ?

If you need to move it, rolling or folding it is no problem. But it is better not to keep it rolled or folded for a long time because it could damage the seals.

### What is the life span of the device?

With a healthy storage, the life span is at least 10 years.
