水上滑梯玩具
Wet-deck slides, splash pad features and small-scale water play equipment for resorts, water parks and municipal splash pads.
Definition
Water play slides and splash equipment are play elements designed for continuous contact with chlorinated or untreated water, including wet-deck slides, splash pads, spray features and small water slides. The defining engineering constraint is not play value but material compatibility: everything in the water circuit must resist chlorides, and the slip resistance requirement is different from dry play because wet surfaces behave differently underfoot.
| Wetted parts | Grade 316 stainless steel, or UV-stabilised HDPE / FRP |
|---|---|
| Fixings | A4 (316) stainless, required for all wetted and splash-zone fixings |
| Slide flume | 316 stainless or gel-coated FRP with wet-traction surface |
| Water type | Chlorinated, saline or untreated; must be declared at specification stage |
| Deck type | Zero-depth splash pad, or wet deck with a shallow pool |
| Recirculation | Typically separate from any adjacent swimming pool circuit |
| Standards | EN 1176-1 and EN 1176-3 for the play elements; EN 13451 for pool equipment; ASTM F1487 / F2373 |
EN 1176-3 applies to the slide geometry; EN 13451 is the European standard series for swimming pool equipment and covers some splash and water play components.
In the US, ASTM F1487 applies to the play elements and ASTM F2373 covers equipment for children under two.
Slip resistance for wet barefoot use is the critical test and is frequently not the same test a dry-play supplier has on file — ask specifically for wet barefoot data.
Water treatment and circulation requirements are set by local public health regulation, which varies widely by country and is not covered by the equipment standards.
These apply to any supplier, including us. A quote that cannot answer them is not yet a quote.
Grade 316 is the normal specification for wetted parts in water play equipment, because chlorinated water is aggressive to grade 304 and causes pitting. Grade 304 is sometimes used for parts that remain above the waterline and are rinsed regularly, but any component in continuous contact with chlorinated water should be 316, including fixings, which must be A4 grade.
A splash pad is a zero-depth water play area with spray features and no standing water, so there is no drowning risk in the conventional sense and the water treatment regulations are usually lighter than for a pool. That reduces both the regulatory burden and the operating cost, but the water still requires treatment and circulation, and the play elements still fall under EN 1176 or ASTM F1487.
The play elements are covered by EN 1176 parts 1 and 3 in Europe, or ASTM F1487 and F2373 in the US. Pool-side equipment may additionally fall under the EN 13451 series. Water treatment and circulation are governed by local public health regulation rather than by the equipment standards, and those rules vary substantially between countries.
