Waterpark Maintenance

Waterpark maintenance is a vitally important topic that sometimes gets overshadowed by the more exciting aspects of a waterpark. At Splashtacular we understand why this may be. As a waterslide manufacturer, the team at Splashtacular would certainly rather spend our time telling you about our newest innovations, the fun we had zipping down a speed slide at a client’s park, or which waterparks have the best hot dogs on the menu! 

However, while it might not be the most glamorous subject, waterpark maintenance is by far the single most important responsibility of waterpark ownership. As a waterslide manufacturer it is our duty to make sure our client’s are equipped with the knowledge they need to keep their parks safe and fun for everyone! 

To help you keep the fun going all season long, our team is sharing our waterpark maintenance guide with you. Keep reading below for all the must-knows!

The Importance of Waterpark Maintenance

In order to ensure a safe, clean, and comfortable experience for all of your guests, waterpark maintenance is of the utmost importance. The last thing we want as a waterslide manufacturer and you as a park owner is for a guest to hurt themselves on a crack in a slide’s surface or a fallen nail on the ground. Daily, routine maintenance and inspections will help keep your park in tip-top shape and should anything be out of order, alert you to the issue right away.

Safety Tests

As a waterslide manufacturer, the Splashtacular team believes that safety tests are by far the most important component to your waterpark maintenance plan. At the beginning and end of the season you must conduct thorough safety tests on every single ride, structure, and attraction in your waterpark and make any repairs, upgrades, and replacements necessary. On a daily basis it is important to ensure all attractions are functioning properly prior to opening for the day. If anything is amiss you will need to keep that particular attraction closed until you are able to fix the issue.

Areas to Consider

Waterslide safety is top of mind for us as a waterslide manufacturer, but the attractions are not the only part of your waterpark that need maintenance. In addition to your rides, pools, and splash pads, you should also include the ride towers, stairs, decking material, restrooms, cafeterias, locker rooms, and even the flower gardens in your daily maintenance routine. Your entire park contributes to the customer experience and it is important they are impressed each step of the way.
