What is Spray Pinwheel for Water Park

Created on 10.16

In the development and application of modern aquatic play facilities, the fiberglass water sprinkler has evolved into a typical piece of interactive equipment in designated water environment due to its defined function and structural standardization. The equipment is usually designed to a height of approximately two meters, aiming at offering a certain kind of dynamic landscape element and recreational experience to the target visitors. In this article, the definition and structure, material property and craftsmanship, functional operation principle and safety installation requirement of the children Water play equipment will be analyzed in details.

1. Definition.

The water sprinkler is a non-permanently fixed piece of play equipment whose main function is rotation spraying driven by water pressure. The main structure of the water park equipment includes a fiberglass column and a rotatable spray head assembly. The head is precisely formed with 6 water outlets and connected to the supplied water source through the inner piping system. The unit is installed by fastening its base flange plate to the concrete foundation in pool or splash pad using high-strength expansion bolt. Such installation method ensures the unit having extremely high stability, meanwhile, the unit can still be removed and replaced easily.

2. Material.

The main structure of the Spray Pinwheel is fabricated with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP hereinafter). The material is manufactured by molding technique using high-strength glass fibers as reinforcement and thermosetting resin as matrix. FRP shows excellent physical and chemical performance including high strength to weight ratio, low density, corrosion resistance and good anti-aging feature. It is immune to long term contact with chlorinated water, exposure to UV radiation and other outdoor environmental conditions. The head of Spray Pinwheel is normally manufactured with high performance gel coat. The material not only gives smooth surface and bright and durable color to the equipment, but also improves its weather resistance and impermeability further. The equipment shall remain free from safety hazard and water penetration for long term usage.

3. Function.

The functional operation of the splash pad equipment is based on the reaction force principle of water flow. When the pressurized water is delivered to the rotatable spray head through the inner piping, water flows out from the specially formed inner channels. The flowing water generates a tangential thrust on the spray head and drives it to rotate smoothly and continuously in 360 degree. Meanwhile, water is discharged evenly from 6 water outlets. The discharged water forms a dynamic and spiraling curtain of water around the water spray equipment. The functional operation of the equipment offers a predictable interactive zone to the participants. Users can dodge around, run through and play around the moving streams. The Pinwheel water sprinkler provides safe and recreational experience while cooling down physically.

4. Safety.

The equipment shall comply with safety installation requirement specified in the standard.The safety of water sprinkler begins with its solid installation and conforming design standard. Only by fixing the base of the unit to the level concrete floor with expansion bolts, the water sprinkler can guarantee its operational stability and resistance to outside force. Therefore, before install the water sprinkler, it is necessary to check the levelness and solidity of the floor so as to ensure the surrounding anchorages have enough load-bearing capacity.From the design viewpoint, all the water play equipment surfaces shall be smoothly finished without sharp edges or corners to avoid causing or injure users. Besides, the water supply pressure must be limited within designed range so that the water spray is gentle enough to avoid impact injury especially to children’s eyes.Splash park equipment installation and routine operation must comply with all the safety and technical regulations for Water park equipment.
