Water slide choices for a water park

Many equipment and attraction manufacturers from around the world are present in the Persian Gulf water-entertainment market. Water slides from Turkey, Canada, Poland, India, and Bulgaria are already in place and operational in the UAE. Making the appropriate pick and determining the price/quality ratio in such a wide range of bids is tough. Buyers frequently choose an equipment provider solely on the basis of the brand name and the size of the manufacturing facilities, which, as experience has shown, does not guarantee the quality of the items offered. When compared to offerings from other countries, some manufacturers provide lower-quality products to the market.

There have been reports of "big" manufacturers selling used equipment as if it were brand new. Please also consider the manufacturing location; depending on the size of the discount, the manufacturer may try to sell you water slides produced not in the main factory, but in subsidiaries located in Asian or African countries, which may be of lower quality.

Customers should consider the material, manufacturing method, installation, and warranty when purchasing water equipment.  European standards (DIN EN 1069-1 and DIN EN 1069-2) strictly control the materials, technology, and installation of such equipment.

Request a certificate of conformity from the mill before purchasing any equipment. The reputation of the company is best examined through feedback from the owners of complexes where such equipment is already installed, rather than through the manufacturer's loud comments and official press releases.

When comparing the offers of two manufacturers, you should visit each one, become acquainted with the manufacturing process, and thoroughly examine the pricing system. When quoting the cost of the attraction, one manufacturer will include the cost of installation, metal parts, and so on, whereas another will only show the cost of the fiberglass elements, making the contract amount appear more appealing. As a result, choosing the second choice increases the likelihood that the buyer will overpay for the necessary additional accessories and installation. Consider the cost of the manufacturer's concept, as very few supply a design for free.

A comparison of water attraction production conditions

Manufacturers provide two installation options: a complete installation by a work crew led by a manufacturer's supervising engineer, or the company sends merely a "supervisor" (engineer) to install, with all work done by local labor. We propose the first option for the best warranty terms, because in the case of difficulties with the ride, the manufacturer frequently cites poor craftsmanship. If the assembly was not completed by the manufacturer's team, you must demand a supervisory engineer to sign for full compliance with the quality of the assembly.

We highly advise against purchasing water rides without installation or installing them yourself. First and foremost, almost all manufacturers would not provide a guarantee on attractions, and secondly, a quality installation is impossible without knowledge and skill. The installation is critical because it impacts not only the cost of operation and maintenance of the attraction, but also the safety of its guests. The terms of warranty and post-warranty maintenance of attractions are frequently the most difficult for the water park owner to understand. By providing a longer warranty duration, the manufacturer will frequently remove the equipment from warranty before the end of the time, citing "improper" maintenance or operation. The popular belief that big-name manufacturers are primarily concerned with product quality and customer satisfaction is incorrect.  Profitability of the transaction and lowering manufacturing costs - which frequently comes at the expense of quality - are at the forefront, as they are everywhere else. You can make the best decision after analyzing all of the relevant facts and weighing the benefits and drawbacks. Remember that water slides are the business card of any water park, thus the financial success of the organization will be heavily reliant on your selection.
