Spray Park Q & A's

Water Park
  • What is the main goal of this water play?

    The basis of this play system is to offer affordable spray park features to our customers that are modular and expandable and are easier to install, simpler to use, and have far less maintenance and upkeep than those offered by anyone else.

     

  • What size are the mats?

    Mat systems are 12’x12’. This is created by two 4’x8’ mats with four 2’x8’ ramps and 4 corner pieces.

     

  • How many jets are in one 12’x12’ mat system?

    There are 16 jets in a mat system. There are 8 jets in each 4’x8’ mat.

     

  • How many jets are in one 12’x12’ mat system with a vertical feature like the Oak Tree?

    There are 32 jets in this system. There are 4 jets in each 4’x8’ mat and 24 jets in the vertical feature. The jets in the feature can be regular sprays or misters.

  • How do the mats hook together to keep them from sliding apart as the children play on them?

    The mats hook together with circular “keys” which sit under the mats in built in channels.

     

    Splash Zones™ can be run with a garden hose!

  • What do you need to run this mat system?

    The simplest way to run this system is to attach it to a standard garden hose attached to a normal water spigot. The computer simply plugs into a regular household 110 GFCI outlet.

     

  • What types of surfacing are available for the mat systems?

    The surface can be artificial grass turf, EPDM, or Pebble-Flex™.

  • How long does it take to set up one 12’x12’ mat system?

    One 12’x12’ system can be set up in less than 2 hours. We recommend four people to handle the mats.

  • Where is the best place to install ?

    The optimal place is on the concrete decking around a pool but any solid flat surface that has access to a water spigot and a 110 GFCI outlet will work.

    Splash Zones are porous

  • Where does the water go?

    Splash Zones™ are designed to be a “water to waste” system. In the grand scheme of things the water is recycled back into the outdoor environment through evaporation and ground runoff.

     

     

  • Can this system be hooked into an existing water recycling system?

    Our system is made to be hooked to a standard garden hose. The customer would have to fit their existing system with a pressurized hook up for a standard hose.


     

  • How much does one 12’x12’ mat system weigh for shipping?

    The whole system weighs approximately 700 lbs. One 4’x8’ mat section weighs approximately 192 lbs.

    Custom quotes are available based on your configuration chosen. 


     

  • Can this system be used in a chlorine environment?

    Yes this system can be used in a chlorine environment, but is not meant to be submerged in chlorinated water.


     

  • How are the vertical water features made?

    The vertical features are made of a durable two-part polyurethane foam which is then sculpted and coated with a two-part polyurethane hard coat. The hard coating is very durable and is also flame retardant.

     

  • How UV resistant are the vertical water features?

    The hard coat, paint, and clear coat all have UV resistant qualities. All the leaves we offer are outdoor UV rated plastic leaves. Reapplying clear coat yearly will help ensure the longevity of the product.


     

  • How do you attach the leaves on the oak tree water feature?

    The leaves are glued in on site with silicone caulk.
