1.  All ages can safely use the Splashtech™ Waterslide but it is recommended that all children under six years of age be accompanied by an adult and wear a safety floatation device.

2.  Recommended water usage is 2000 gpm.

3.  Recommended rider position is feet first either sitting up or lying down. No "chains" of people are allowed and spacing may be as little as five seconds apart; however, spacing of larger riders following smaller riders is at the discretion of the operator, but the minimum spacing time (of five seconds between riders) should at least be doubled.

4.  It is also recommended that riders splash down into four feet and six inches of water depth in a pool that is at least 16 feet wide and 30 feet long (for a single flume). For each additional flume emptying into the same pool, add 14 feet to the pool width (length remains the same).

80 CM DIAMETER TUBULAR WATERSLIDE

1.  SPLASHTECH JR.™ describes a small diameter slide with approximately twice the slope of the standard Splashtech™ Waterslide (approximate slope is 15 degrees. This is not considered a speed slide, but is an alternative to using the large diameter waterslide). Approximate length is 250 feet (not including runout, because a pool is normally used). Variations of this waterslide include a full line of tubular speed slides.

2.  Recommended rider position is feet first, lying down on back with head resting on flume or on hands behind head (which would then rest on flume) and legs crossed at the ankles.  Recommended minimum rider weight and height is 60 pounds and 42 inches, respectively.

3.  Recommended water usage: 350 gpm for Splashtech Jr. and 150 - 250 gpm for tubular speed slides. Recommended water depth is 4½ feet minimum with a pool size of 12 feet wide and 35 feet long (single flume); for each additional like flume emptying into the same pool, add 10 feet additional width. Tubular speed flumes are recommended for use only with runouts.

1.  The 42-inch Open Flume - descends at a fixed slope of 6½ to 7½ degrees, utilizing 1800 -2000 gpm of water. Rider speed is approximately eight to 13 miles per hour with the flume meant to be ridden either lying down feet first (on back) or sitting up feet first.

2.  It is also recommended that riders splashdown into four feet and three inches of water depth in a pool that is at least 16 feet wide and 30 feet long (for a single flume). For each additional flume emptying into the same pool, add 14 feet to the pool width (length remains the same).

72-INCH AND 84-INCH DIAMETER OPEN FLUME

1.  The 72-inch and 84-inch Open Flumes - descend at fixed five-degree slopes which give them a rider speed of approximately six to 11 miles per hour. These flumes are designed for approximately 3,000 gpm of water and can be used with inner tubes as well as body flume riders. If used as inner tube rides, they can be used with single, double and triple inner tubes as well as two and three man boats. If used as body flumes, they are to be ridden in the same manner as the 42-inch Open Flume.

2.  It is also recommended that riders splashdown into four feet and six inches of water depth in a pool that is at least 18 feet wide and 30 feet long (for a single flume). For each additional flume emptying into the same pool, add 16 feet to the pool width (length remains the same).

11 ½-FOOT DIAMETER RIVER RIDE

1.  The 11 ½-foot open flume river ride is primarily used off a 40-inch tower with three "bumps" or descents followed respectively by three relatively flat sections. Then the flume empties in to a pool. The riders are to use a 78-inch flat bottom four-person raft.

2.  It is also recommended that riders splash down into four feet and six inches of water depth in a pool that is at least 22 feet wide and 35 feet long (single flume). For each additional flume emptying into the same pool, add 20 feet to the pool width (length remains the same).
