With the arrival of the hot summer days, the bouncy water slide is all the rage. Its size and ease of installation make it an essential ally for leisure parks. But did you know that this inflatable needs to be set up correctly in order to be used properly? By following these four steps, you can be sure you have a safe water slide. Unlike traditional inflatables, water games are water-based. This means that special care must be taken when setting up the inflatable to ensure that the water and air are regulated during play.
Identifying water inlets
Inflatable bouncy water slides are fitted with water pipes to accommodate a sprinkler system. Before installation, identify your water inlets so you can accurately plan the size of your sprinkler system and the ideal location for your inflatable. Generally, the pipes are located at the top of the inflatable or along the track. Don't hesitate to ask your supplier for advice on the most suitable material to equip your water slide.
Preparing the floor
To start installing a bouncy water slide, you need to place it on a suitable surface. It must be smooth, clean and level. Dust, gravel, small stones, leaves, dirt, etc. can damage the base of the inflatable and a sloping surface can make the play area slippery. For outdoor use, avoid placing your bouncy slide under a tree or near a fence.
A protective tarp is often ideal to protect the ground under the inflatable. Your installation should be in a space large enough to accommodate the inflatable and the necessary safety distances around the play area. To find out the required safety clearance when installing your inflatable, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your inflatable.
Inflating the inflatable
Once the base is ready, you can inflate your water slide using a professional blower. Not sure how to inflate? Please refer to the instruction manual supplied with your inflatable. It will give you all the installation and assembly details. If you have any questions about the slide, please contact your dealer, who will be able to give you all the advice and recommendations you need to set up the inflatable water slide correctly.
Fix the bouncy slide to the ground
The inflatable must be secured to the ground using pegs or ballast. This will ensure that the inflatable does not move when the children go down the slide at full speed! The pegs can be used to secure the inflatable to a soft surface such as grass, earth, etc. If you decide to place your water slide on a hard surface (concrete, resin, bitumen, etc.), use ballast.
Making the connections
The last step before you launch your attraction: fit your inflatable with the appropriate watering system and... open the valves! All you have to do is enjoy your water bouncy slide and have the best ride of your life!
