No Need for Water & No Need to Funnel in Sand
Easy Fill Option: You will need a 50 lb bag of play sand... Just don't open it.
First, this is a great product if you want to work your heavy bag without it flying around. It is also nice that the bungee (included) detaches very easily if you want to "dance" with your bag sometimes or just to keep the stress on your bungee and mounting hardware from being under a constant extra load. The quality is fair, the outer material is heavy duty Enough and it does its job well... for the price!
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the bungee cord included. They even added shrinkable tubing to each end where the hook attaches to the cord, so there is no worry about snagging your pants leg or bare skin if kicking. Very nice touch for a made in China product.
Now... here is the Easy way to weigh this down if you don't want to fill the separate water bladder because of freezing conditions or general worry about leaking/rupturing. You don't even have to funnel sand in and worry about the sand leaking out!

1. This anchor bag unzips pretty wide. Actually, just wide enough for a standard bag of play sand, 1/2 cubic foot.
2. The standard bag of play sand (Quickrete, and likely other brands), is 50 pounds... perfect weight! That's what this bag calls for and the standard bag of 50 lb play sand is 1/2 cubic foot... perfect size!
3. Just slide the sealed plastic bag of play sand into the unzipped anchor bag, zip up the anchor and Viola!

No mess, no risk of spilled sand or water.
Thank you to another reviewer for mentioning the method outlined above, I can't believe how well it worked. Don't you just love common sense?
