Q. What is the best way to maintain a sliding surface and prevent it from wear and tear?

A. Maintaining a sliding surface requires regular care and upkeep. A good way to do is by waxing before and after the season to lessen UV breakdown and to keep your waterslide’s riding path smooth and slick.

Besides this, it is important to clean and remove water deposit buildup to keep the riding surface smooth and comfortable for the riders. The sliding surface is also exposed to UV fade from direct sunlight and chemical oxidation from the pool water. The waterslide fiberglass can become discoloured and faded and unattractive to guests. The faded fiberglass can be brought back to life through a highly involved process of wet sanding, power buff polishing and gloss sealing.

Q. Is it necessary to conduct a daily inspection of your slides and park equipment?

A. Daily inspections involve quick checks and tests that ensure your waterpark guests have a safe and fun day at the waterpark. It reduces risk of accidents and potential liability. The daily inspections don’t take a long time each day but can save time and money in the long run. It can be useful to keep permanently bound log books to record all inspections, operational tests, water quality monitoring, accidents, complaints and unusual occurrences that may require more detailed inspection leading to repairs for risk mitigation.

Q. What aspects of a play structure equipment do we need to check in a daily inspection?

A. You can check for the following signs while conducting a daily inspection of your play structure equipment, report and repair them appropriately:

• Obstructions in play area pathways
• Cracks or chips in deck surfaces
• Chipped or peeling paint
• Properly secured and tied net lashings
• Cuts, tears or damage to climbing nets, safety nets, and web crawl tunnels
• General wear of climbing nets, safety nets, and web crawl tunnels
• Excessively sagging climbing nets
• Proper operating pressure and flow to all effects
• GPM flow rates conform to design flow rates for each waterslide
• Empty filter baskets of lint and debris

Q. What do I use to remove surface dirt like grease and sunscreen from the slides?

A. Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild detergent such as 3M™ Multi-Purpose Boat Soap. For hard water build up, use CLR® or other cleaners specific for this purpose. For difficult stains, use a cut polish or rubbing compound and finish wax or a combination product such as 3M™ Marine Fiberglass Restorer and Wax. The fiberglass finish should be waxed and buffed with a high-quality paste wax or polish containing ultraviolet screens.

Q. What material is used to seal the slide joints?

A. SikaFlex 1A is a polyurethane sealant that prevents the slide joints from leaking.
