7 Wet Water Slides to Make Your Backyard in to a Water Park

Q: How are bounce houses cleaned and disinfected?

We have a 3 step cleaning process. First we vacuum and wash away with soap and water all dirt & mud from our equipment. Our employees wear gloves and face masks during the cleaning time. Our next step is to use an EPA approved disinfectant for combatting Covid-19. The name of the disinfectant we use is Simple Green Pro D 5 cleaner. We apply this product to anywhere someone might have come in contact with clean towels. This includes netting, pillars, floors, sliding surfaces, pop-up crawlers, steps, and handles. Lastly to insure the products we rent are safe, we require at least 72hrs between rentals.

Q: Will I need to provide a water hose?

Yes, you will need to provide a hose long enough to reach from your water source to the location where the water slide will be setup. You will also need to ensure that the slip and slide can be placed within 50 ft. of a power source.

Q: What are the recommended ages for a slip and slide?

Children and adults ages 5 years and up. Adults and teenagers love our slip and slides! However, younger kids under 5 have a problem coordinating running and timing their jumping for them. They can still enjoy the slip n slide, but we find that most of the time they just climb on and run through to the splash/pool area.

Q: Can I set up the the slide near my pool?

No. Safety is our number one priority. All moonwalks and water slides must be set up at least 10 feet away from any pool.

Q: Can I slide with my child down the slide?

No, only one person should slide down each slide at once. Children should slide separately from parents to prevent accidents from happening at the bottom of the inflatable.

Q: How do inflatable water slide stay inflated?

An electric fan blower is used to inflate the slide. It must be turned on and attached to the slide the entire time that the inflatable unit is being used, or the slide will deflate.

Q: What if I need to cancel my reservation?

Our no-hassle reschedule policy means you can cancel for any reason up until your scheduled delivery time. You will receive a “rescheduling” credit that is valid for up to 1 year from the original date of your event. Credit will not be issued after we have delivered the rental equipment. We do not allow refunds.

Q: What rules do my guests and I need to follow to ensure a safe time?

Only 1 person is allowed to slide down each slide at a time. Someone should be in charge of monitoring the inflatable at all times so that children don’t slide down while someone is still exiting. A good protocol is to allow one child to climb the stairs when one child exits. Group kids by size when playing in the inflatable. Bigger kids or adults should not bounce with younger/smaller kids to help prevent them from being injured. No flips or rough horseplay. If wind speeds exceed 15 mph, exit the moonwalk and turn it off. If you see the moonwalk or tree limbs swaying, this is a strong indication that wind speeds are too high.

Q: Will I need power for my water slide?

Yes, power is required for most of our rental items. If you don’t have power outlets located nearby or your event is at a park, you may need to rent a generator from us. Most rentals require 1 to 2 outlets (on separate breakers) within 50 ft. of wherever the item is placed. We provide 50-75 ft. extension cords at no extra cost.

Q: Can I have an inflatable at a park?

Yes. However, most parks require you to get approval prior to setting up inflatables. They also require a certificate of insurance, which we can provide for an additional $25. In addition to this, you must also make sure their is a water hose with a water source to where the slide will be placed.
