WELCOME TO YOUR WATERHOG

New Owner's Guide!

Meet your new mat

If you’ve just unboxed your WaterHog—welcome! You might have a few questions about getting it set up. We’ll start with some quick unboxing and placement tips, then move on to common questions and simple solutions. 😊

When your WaterHog arrives, take a moment to gently inspect it. Everything should look and feel great, but if you notice anything unusual, we’re here to help.

Mat flattening tips & tricks

A little “settling in” is completely normal. Allow your mat to warm up to room temperature, or place it in the sunlight for a short time so it can relax. This helps it lay flat and perform at its best right from the start.

Want to speed things up? Reverse-roll your mat (just like we show in our video) to encourage it to flatten more quickly.

PLACEMENT IDEAS & TIPS

Where Should You Place Your WaterHog?

Think beyond the front door—your WaterHog thrives outdoors too! Whether it’s right outside the back door, in a sunny sunroom, or gracing the porch at the front, choose spots that balance functionality and style. We’ve designed a few infographics, laid out like a floor plan, to help you pinpoint the perfect outdoor positions for your WaterHog. 

PLACEMENT IDEAS & TIPS

Boot Tray & Pet Mats

Place boot tray mats in areas where shoes are stored, such as the garage, entryway, or shoe shelf, to keep dirt and moisture contained. For pet mats, position them under your pet’s food and water bowls to help catch spills and keep your floors clean.

SOLUTION DYED MAGIC

Why Placement Matters

Our WaterHog mats are solution dyed, which means the colour stays vibrant, even when exposed to the sun. Imagine a carrot: peel it, and it remains that same bright orange all the way through. Now, think of an apple: peel it, and the colour might change. Our WaterHog stays true to its design, just like that carrot!
