Inflatable water slides are designed for the home user. They are typically made of a thick strong PVC or vinyl and nylon, and are inflated using an electric or gasoline powered blower. The water slide is attached to a water hose in order to generate the supply of water. There are small sized inflatable water slides for private house uses or larger inflatable water slides for school, picnic, corporate, or carnival style use. There are also swimming pool water slides which users can set up to slide straight into a pool. Now inflatable water slides are very popular, compared to mechanical slides, safer and more convenient.
Inflatable water slides and Slip n' Slide's are all great performing Inflatables if you operate in an area that gets good and hot in the summer. You can definitely look forward to renting this unit out on a regular basis during the hot months. You should also plan on spending extra time setting up and taking down water inflatables. For most units you will need to allocate about an hour for setup and 1-2 hrs for take down.
Taking down the inflatable takes significantly longer because you have to attempt to get as much of the water out of the unit as possible. Using a shammy instead of towels can be very helpful. Generally when picking up you just want to get the unit dry enough to get it back to your storage location. At which time the unit should be completely dried before being store for any period long than 24 hours. Most of these types of units have zippers which allow access to the inside of the unit. This can be very helpful in speeding up the dry time. Remember that when picking up these units they are going to be significantly heavier than they were when you dropped them off. Having 2 people for these pick ups is highly recommended.
