SU B,ECT : Agreement for Water Slide Maintenance Services at The Wave
Prepared by: Dustin Stene, Recreation Supervisor
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider an agreement with Slide Guys Restoration Inc. for waterslide
maintenance services at The Wave.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution Approving an Agreement with Slide Guys Restoration Inc. for Waterslide
Maintenance Services and approve the budget change.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The agreement with Slide Guys Restoration Inc. is not to exceed $151,620 per calendar year,
which includes $126,350 for regular maintenance and inspections, plus a 20% contingency of
$25,270 for additional repairs as needed. Approval of the agreement will require a $37,593 budget
increase funded by the General Fund Undesignated Reserve. Funding for the subsequent years will
be included in future budget processes.
DESCRIPTION:
In prior years, The Wave pool and waterslide maintenance agreements were combined; however,
due to the unique experience, skill set, and certifications required to maintain waterslides, a
separate Request for Proposals (RFP) for waterslide maintenance was released on November 2,
2022. Slide Guys Restoration Inc. submitted the lowest responsive bid and their proposal aligns
with the City's needs. Other bids were received from Safe Slide Restoration and White Water.
Slide Guys Restoration Inc. is highly recommended by multiple agencies, two of which are in
California, which gives them experience with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) regulations for California amusement rides. Slide Guys Restoration Inc. also meets

certification requirements for rope access safety and fiberglass repair. Slide Guys Restoration Inc.
will be required to conduct a bi-annual service that includes fiberglass, chip and cracking, and gel
coat repair, as well as joint caulking and the wax and polish of all slides.
Staff is recommending a three-year service agreement for water slide maintenance with Slide
Guys Restoration Inc., expiring on December 31, 2025, with the option of two, one-year
extensions. The cost detail is summarized in the table below.

claim for defense and indemnity by the City, unless this time has been extended by the City. If the
Contractor fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any
other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Contractor under and by virtue of this

tender of defense, whichever occurs first.

PREMIUM PRODUCTS WE USE
Ashland Gel-Kote /Premium grade Vinyl Ester blend grade filler / 3M-4000 marine grade caulk /
Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin / Amerlock Clear Primer / PSX-700 Polysiloxane paint (marine grade) /
Fiberglass — 1.5 oz. chop Mat & Biaxial 1088 /Acetone / 3M Super Duty Compound
Gel coat is referred to the interior coating on fiberglass slides and is the only coating to be used to
protect the underlying fiberglass, per the manufacture. White gel is recommended for more of a
maintenance free, because white gel looks cleaner even when light oxidation is present.
Paint is only applied to the exterior of slides. A commercial marine grade paint is the only coating
suitable for a slides exterior coating per manufacturer's recommendations.
Oxidation should be removed annually with a professional maintenance plan. Oxidation build up results
in drag for riders and acts like sandpaper, scuffing mills of gel off slide when riders go down the slide.
Thinning gel is when mils are removed slowly over time with regular usage of slide, chemicals, weather,
oxidation, and annual polish & buff. A slide that has the proper mils of gel coat applied (18-24m1s)
should last 8 to 10 years, if maintained properly.
Failed coatings Gel or paint— The coating lift, bubbles, peels. This may result from Incorrect product
used, not mixed/applied properly, unsuitable weather conditions during application, or coating was not
applied according to industry standards. Solution: Re -gel or repaint with Amerlock primer. Failed
coatings compromise the fiberglass.
Only use Vinyl Ester Blend Grade Filler will be used for repairs.
Polish & Wax is a cosmetic refurbish. Structural refurbish is defined as an obvious threat to the guests.
Unless otherwise specified, in the work description above, structural refurbishment is not included in
the proposal nor price. If Structural refurbishment is required and is not noted on the proposal to
repair/refurbish, a change order will be required to include the refurbishment / repair.
Please note that large amounts of dust will be created from the project that we have no control over.
We do a thorough power wash afterwards, removing any dust caused by sanding, to restore cleanliness
to the facility.
*Caulked seams are not a guarantee to stop them from leaking and are not under warranty.
Slides that require an additional coat of paint will be charged an additional 50% of first cote price due to
time/materials/extra process to ensure premium quality outcome.

complete the project as efficiently as Slide Guys Restoration deems necessary. This may require, but not
limited, to working 8 hours per day/5 days a week. The park is responsible for providing an adequate

(i) PART I
GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 6 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
124
Part I GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
Important Notice
The following operating procedures are presented to waterslide owners as
guidelines only. They are not intended to be mandatory or exhaustive. These
guidelines do not replace proper consultation with designers, manufacturers and
legal counsel, and compliance with local, state (provincial) and federal laws and
regulations involving, but not limited to: health, safety and building codes.
General Operating Considerations
1. Customers
While customers are the key ingredients to the success of any waterpark, certain
rules and procedures must be made clear for the park to function efficiently and
safely.
1.1 Posted Signs
A sign must be posted at the entrance to the waterpark that states user
responsibility and conveys the following rules and regulations:
1. Read and obey all posted signs.
2. Obey all instructions given by the attendants and operators.
3. No glass, cigarettes and/or food are permitted in the water slide area.
4. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted in the park.
5. Pregnant women and those with a history of heart problems or back
trouble should not use the slides.
6. Failure to follow rules and instructions can lead to serious injuries.
7. Ride at your own risk.
Note: Specific sign requirements for each waterslide are detailed in Part II -
Specific Operating Guidelines.
1.2 Access
Provisions must be made to prevent customers from entering the water slide
at any points other than at the designated entry access points.
1.3 Physical Condition
Waterslide customers must be checked for proper swimwear and adequate
physical condition. Swim attire should not have any metal parts that could
damage the slides or cause injuries. Customers who show signs of drug
and/or alcohol impairment will not be permitted on the site.
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 7 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
125
1.4 Visitors and Spectators
Visitors and spectators should be physically separated from the areas used
by sliders. They should be kept a safe distance away from any wet areas and
not be permitted to interfere with the sliders.
1.5 Food and Drinks
No food or drinks are allowed in the immediate area of flumes and pools or on
decks, stairs and walkways surrounding flumes and pools. Food and
beverages should be confined to visitor and spectator areas or similarly
marked areas for sliders. Trash containers should be provided to keep litter
off decks and walkways and out of flumes and pools.
2. Attendants
Waterpark attendants are responsible for safe and orderly conduct of customers,
safe entry and exit of riders from the slides, general crowd control and
emergency procedures.
During operating hours, there must be at least one attendant on duty at all times
who has completed a Red Cross or equivalent Standard First Aid and Safety
course. This person must also be competent in carrying out any emergency
procedures specific to the slide he or she is operating.
Every water slide should be equipped with a battery or electronically operated
system to provide voice communication between attendants at different locations
on the slides and park office or permanently manned control center.
2.1 Top of Slides
The area at the top of every water slide must be supervised by at least one
attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is
responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly
manner.
• Ensuring that customers enter slides or rafts/mats properly.
• Ensuring that customers are dispatched at safe intervals.
• Visually surveying all areas of the water slide that are visible from
attendant's position, with the exception of the splash pool, and
communicating any problems to the other attendants.
• Ensuring that customers meet the minimum and/or maximum
restrictions for the slide.
• Ensuring that any vehicles used are in good condition and if inflated,
inflated properly.
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 8 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
126
2.2 Splash Pool
The recommended depth for the splash pool is 3.5 feet (1.07 metres) except
otherwise noted in special conditions and therefore must be supervised by at
least one certified lifeguard who has continuous and direct supervision of that
area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly
manner.
• Ensuring that customers move into and out of splash pool in a quick and
orderly manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on pool decks.
• Ensuring pool water levels are correct.
2.3 Runout Lane
The runout lanes of waterslides must be supervised by at least one attendant
who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly
manner.
• Ensuring that customers exit runout lane in a quick and orderly
manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on slide apron.
• Ensuring water levels are at level marks and flow transition is within
indicator markings.
2.4 Water Treatment
A specific person on each shift should be responsible for chlorination and
water treatment procedures. They should be thoroughly trained in all aspects
including, routine operations, handling, connection, disconnection, emergency
procedures and leak control procedures. A safety chart should be posted in
or near the chlorination room and a second safety chart should be placed in
the pool office near the telephone. Emergency telephone numbers should
also be shown on the safety charts.
2.5 Pool Operations
A specific person on each shift should be made responsible for all swimming
pool operations, such as: circulation and filtering system operation,
maintenance, inspections, backwashing and cleaning. They should be
thoroughly trained by an expert in swimming pool operations.
3. Inspections
Permanently bound log books should be kept to record all inspections,
operational tests, water quality monitoring, all accidents and unusual
occurrences. Log books should be kept for a period of at least six (6) years from
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 9 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
127
the date of the last entry. Log book entries that cover the twelve (12) month
period previous to the last entry in the log book should be kept readily available.
3.1 Slide Inspections
Daily inspections must be made to check for:
• obstructions in slide paths
• cracks, chips or bubbles in sliding surfaces
• rough patchwork at joints or cracks
• caulking protruding from joined flanges
• leaking seals at joints
• loose risers on turns
• excessive movement of flumes when walked on
• joints opening up
• proper inflation and condition of rafts, tubes and vehicles
• landing or pool bottom padding, if used, is in good condition and
properly secured.
3.2 Mechanical Inspections
Daily inspections must be completed on each waterslide:
• before water is circulated to ensure no safety hazards exist
• with the water circulating to ensure there is sufficient water flowing in the
channel and correct water level is in splash pool or runout lane
• to ensure that all the pumping and filtration equipment is operating
correctly
• to ensure that conveyor system is operating properly and poses no hazard
It is the attendant's responsibility to ensure water flow is maintained in
accordance with manufacturers' guidelines. Serious hazards may develop
when flow is interrupted in a flume.
3.3 Chemical Inspections
Proper water chemical balance must be obtained each day before the facility
is opened to the public. While the facility is operational, water quality testing
should be performed at intervals in accordance with local health authority's
guidelines. Inspections should also be made during periods of heavy usage to
ensure circulation and filtration systems are handling peak loads. The
attendant must keep logs of all water testings performed. A typical form for
water quality testing is shown in Appendix 1-I.
The attendant must ensure that customers cannot come in contact with water
treatment, re -circulation and filtration equipment. Mechanical and chemical
storage rooms must be locked at all times to prevent customer access.
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 10 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
128
4. Accidents
The most common accidents in waterparks are: slips and falls, collisions
between one riding customer and another customer, impact with the pool
surface, and abrasions from sidewalls. Operators should keep detailed logs of all
reported accidents onsite. A typical accident report form is included in Appendix
1-11.
4.1 Incident Reporting
The owner or operator shall notify the manufacturer (Whitewater West
Industries Ltd.) of any known serious incidents that require immediate hospital
admission. Minor injuries that may or may not require treatment shall be
reported to the manufacturer if deemed to be related to the equipment design
or function.
There may be local jurisdiction and laws requiring notification of incidents.
The owner or operator may be required to notify these local jurisdictions in
addition to the above.
4.2 Floatation Devices
The operator should not infer that rafts, tubes or any other floatation device,
with exception of government approved life jackets, offer the user any safety
benefit. Where unapproved floatation devices are provided, signs should be
posted stating they are for pleasure only and should not be used as a
substitute for approved floatation devices.
4.3 Slips and Falls
Slips and falls are a constant concern in all areas of the waterpark. All
surfaces intended for pedestrian traffic, whether in the water, on walkways, on
loading platforms or on stairs should be made and maintained slip -resistant.
Proper periodic maintenance of walking surfaces should be carried out to
remove the growth of algae and fungi which could inhibit the surfaces
intended function. Adequate drainage should be maintained around all areas
of the slides.
The entry section to flumes should be given particular attention with respect
to slips and falls. The combination of the flowing water and the customer
contacting water on a slippery surface for the first time can be confusing and
disorienting. The exit area of the splashdown pool will always be wet and
flowing with water which requires special attention with respect to slip -
resistant surfaces, drainage and number and location of attendants.
To minimize slip and fall type accidents, attendants throughout the waterpark
should control running and horseplay.

4.4 Bodily Collisions
Bodily collisions occur in flumes and splash pools as a result of riders
traveling at different speeds and riders slowing or stopping in the flume.
Restricting traffic flow with proper dispatching intervals can minimize these
bodily collisions. The top attendant and lower attendant must have a view of
much of the slide and a means of communication between them. The entry
attendant must be alert and aware that people will travel at different rates due
to variations in body weight, body friction, and rider position. Generally, the
heavier the person, the faster the rider will travel. Slippery materials like
nylon slide much faster than cotton clothing. All other factors being equal,
riders in a sitting position will travel slower than a person lying flat on their
back. Under no circumstances should customers be permitted to ride flumes
in a standing position. Similarly, running or leaping entry into flumes is not to
be permitted.
In addition to slide entry attendants, use of signal lights or electro-mechanical
starting gates should be considered for rider entry control.
As bodily collisions in splash pool area cannot be fully controlled even with
proper entry rates; splash pool attendants should be well trained, attentive
and aggressive, continuously urging and encouraging customers to leave the
flume discharge and splash pool area as quickly as possible. They must be
alert to the possibility of problems and be prepared to enter the water at any
time to assist a customer. In the event of a delay at discharge, following
riders should be stopped at the entry. Riders tend to congregate in the pool
because they are temporarily confused and disoriented upon impact with the
water, to wait for their friends who are coming behind, or to socialize with
persons in the splash pool. Collisions also result from multiple rider entry (i.e.
trains). This practice is absolutely prohibited even for small children being
carried on their parent's legs.
If marker buoys or lane ropes are used in the splash pool, they must be
arranged so they do not become obstacles for riders. Such devices, if used,
should float and be simple in design to avoid the possibility of entangling
riders.
4.5 Chemical Hazards
Personnel must be fully trained in the use of water chemicals. Potentially
fatal accidents could result from the release of gaseous chlorine. Improper
chemical control could result in skin and eye irritation from excessive
treatment. Bacterial problems could also arise from inadequate treatment.
5. Emergency Procedures
Every park must have an emergency plan with specific procedures covering:
• crowd control
March 13, 2017
Center
Page 12 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic
130
• park evacuation
• drowning
• heart attacks
• cuts and burns
• neck and spinal injuries
• power or other utility failures
• fires
• security (fights, robbery, vandalism)
• exposure to chlorine
• environmental conditions (e.g., lightning, windstorms, hail, earthquakes)
An emergency plan should address those factors which affect, human safety,
protection and correction of equipment, and customer relations. All employees
should be trained and drilled periodically in the execution of the emergency plan.
The emergency plan should be easily accessible and be located with first aid
equipment and emergency telephone numbers.
Each facility should have a list of current emergency numbers posted by a
telephone. The list should include the contact information for the nearest
available doctor, ambulance service, hospital, rescue service, police department,
fire department and poison control center. A typical emergency telephone list is
shown in Appendix 1-III.
Each facility should have available the following first aid supplies:
• A standard 24-unit first aid kit stocked and readily accessible for use.
• A stretcher and blankets.
• A standard plywood backboard or other acceptable splint for persons with back
and neck injuries.
• An area or room set aside for the emergency care of injuries.
6. Operator's Changes
WhiteWater should be advised of any changes made in slides, structures or
equipment, manufactured, designed or installed by WhiteWater West Industries
Ltd. Changes could affect the safety of the attraction.

(iii) PART III MAINTENANCE
GUIDELINES
March 13, 2017 Page 30 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
148
Part III MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR FRP FLUME
If properly maintained, your waterslide will give you years of service and keep sliding
the way it was meant to - SAFE and FUN. By keeping the slide and its components
properly maintained, you will be ensuring high performance and long life.
1. Cleaning
Maintenance requires removal of surface dirt, grease and suntan oil by cleaning the
flumes with a soft -bristled brush and mild detergent such as 3M - "Multi Purpose Boat
Soap". For hard water buildup (a white chalky discoloration) removal/maintenance use
"C.L.R." or other cleaners specific for this purpose. For removal of difficult stains use a
cut polish or rubbing compound and finish wax or a combination product such as 3M
"Marine One -Step Fiberglass Restorer and Wax".
2. Waxing
At least twice each year, the fiberglass finish should be waxed and buffed with high
quality paste wax or polish such as 3M "Marine One -Step Fiberglass Restorer and
Wax". On scratched, dull or faded areas use a fine buffing compound to restore the
original gloss before waxing. Prolonged exposure to the ultra -violet rays of the sun
can in time, cause discoloring and fading. We recommend using paste waxes or
polishes containing ultra -violet screens. The more often the surface is waxed, the
longer it will last.
CAUTION: If you use power tools for buffing or polishing, use extreme care to
prevent overheating the surface. Overheating a rubbing compound burns small
gritty particles into the slide surface causing blistering and streaking. This may
require the area to be sanded and repainted.
3. Joints
Slide joints play an important role in rider comfort and pleasure. Proper
maintenance will keep the joints smooth and trouble free for years.
3.1 Joint Caulking
All fiberglass sections will expand and contract with temperature changes.
Therefore, joints between sections are filled with a flexible, elastic caulking. Should
the joints need re -caulking, all the old filler should be removed, the fiberglass should
be cleaned and joints should be re -filled using a flexible polyurethane sealant. DO
NOT use plastic filler that will harden. Under no circumstances should the joints
be fiberglassed over. Excess joint caulking should be removed from the slide
surface by scraping it off with a putty knife. Any remaining traces should be wiped
off with lacquer thinner applied to a rag. Do not pour lacquer thinner directly onto a
flume joint as it can dissolve the sealant.
March 13, 2017 Page 31 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
149
3.2 Joint Roughness
Joints may become rough with use, especially if metal articles are allowed down the
slide. For minor chips and cracks, the joints may be fixed using the procedures
outlined in Part III, Section 4.
More serious cases may require power sanding that will cut through the gelcoat.
This will require a spray application of new gelcoat by a trained person, finished by
sanding and polishing and waxing as outlined in Part III.
4. Patching
Chips and cracks may appear in fiberglass flumes from normal usage. The following
sections outline procedures to repair minor damage to slides. Due to the hazardous
nature of materials used and variability of application methods, we recommend that a
qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.
4.1 Minor Chips and Cracks
In areas that have chips or cracks in the gelcoat only, or have a scratch that is deep
enough to penetrate through the gelcoat to the fiberglass but not deep enough to go
completely through the laminate, follow the procedures given in Part III, Section 4.4.
NOTE: For damage that penetrates completely through or deep into the laminate,
we recommend that a qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.
4.2 Surface Cracks
Hairline cracks, sometimes called spider webbing, or star cracks may develop in the
gelcoat or surface coating of the fiberglass product. This is caused by a combination
of weathering, vibrations, and/or impacts. Although unsightly, they do not
necessarily affect structural strength. The hairline cracks can be fixed by sanding
out the affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re -coating the surface with
gelcoat. Follow the patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4
through 6.
4.3 Cracks around Flanges
The area around the flanges of flumes contains a thick layer of gelcoat which is very
stiff. Stresses from normal use may cause cracks in the gelcoat around the flanges.
These are not structural cracks. Flange cracks may be remedied by sanding the
affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re -coating with gelcoat. Follow the
patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4 through 6.

4.4 Repair Procedures
WARNING:
Patching kits contain toxic, combustible and corrosive elements. Use only under
well ventilated conditions. Do not inhale fumes. Seek medical attention if polyester
resins are swallowed or inhaled. Should contact occur with the eye flush with water
for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If person is wearing contact lenses and
the lenses did not flush out from the water, have the person try to remove AFTER
the flushing procedure. If contents come in contact with skin or clothing, clean the
area immediately with acetone.
Before you start, you will need:
1 Sandpaper: 36 - 100 grit; 220 - 320 grit wet and dry; 600 grit wet and dry
2 Sanding block
3 Acetone
4 2" masking tape
5 Utility knife
6 Putty knife
7 Mixing board
8 Mixing cup
9 Fiberglass resin hardener (catalyst), use a peroxide based catalyst (MEKP)
10 Patching compound
11 Gelcoat paint
12 2" fine paint brush
13 Automotive cut polish
14 High quality paste wax such as "Turtle" wax
4.4.1 Storage Instructions
Store uncatalyzed patching compound and gelcoat in closed metal containers in
a cool area below 73° Fahrenheit (23° Celsius) out of direct sunlight. Do not
allow to freeze.
Store liquid catalysts in their original containers according to manufacturer's
instructions.
4.4.2 Mixing Instructions
Mix only small amounts at one time. The mixtures will harden in twenty (20)
minutes to 1 hour, depending on the temperature and the amount of catalyst
added. The mixture will harden faster at higher temperatures and with increasing
amounts of catalyst added. Use caution when adding catalyst, over catalyzing
will result in the mixture cracking. Do not pour catalyzed mixtures back into the
can. Do not reduce materials with a "conventional" paint or lacquer thinner.
March 13, 2017 Page 33 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center

(iv) PART IV
SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
March 13, 2017 Page 35 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
153
PART IV SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
1. The ASTM standard F 2376-XX Standard Practice for Classification, Design,
Manufacture, Construction, and Operation of Water Slide Systems.
The ASTM standard F 2376 for Water Slide Systems is a standard developed
specifically to cover Water Slide systems. The standard references several other
standards which together form the basis of a complete standard for the Design,
Manufacture, Construction and Operation of Water Slide Systems. Operators are
encouraged to become active members of the ASTM F24 group. The fees are nominal
and provide access to the relevant standards. Operators should be aware of these
standards and the responsibilities outlined within them.
General Description of Rides
Waterslides use the flow of water to propel or lubricate the movement of riders down a
fixed fiberglass flume section. The riders may ride alone with no vehicle, in groups on
specially designed inflatable inner tubes or on a custom made inflatable boat or raft.
The riding configuration depends on the specific product and the method of riding.
Description of Motion
Waterslide flumes are fixed in position and do not move. Propulsion is from gravity
aided by water flow in the flume. Riders with or without vehicles will experience motion
and accelerations consistent with the flume path. Movements include right and left
turns, vertical curves, and deceleration at the finish. Riders or vehicles shall maintain
constant contact with the flume ride surface.
Operational Restrictions Due to Weather
Wind - Waterslide structures are designed to withstand wind loads specified in the
building code in force for the ride locations. WhiteWater recommends suspending
operation during sustained winds in excess of 40 mph (64 kph).
Lightning - Virtually all waterslides use elevated towers as starting platforms.
Operation of rides should be suspended during any storm or weather conditions where
lightning may occur.
Rain - Rain will have no effect on the operation of the slides, with one exception. All
flumes rely on the cushioning and braking action of the specified water flow. Rain water
can create a very slippery surface and without the braking action of the larger water flow
can create an extremely hazardous condition. Under no circumstances should the
slides be operated without the main water supply running at specified capacity.
March 13, 2017 Page 36 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
154
Safe water flow
The water flow rate is important to the safe operation of the ride. Operators shall make
sure that the water supply is adequate. Insufficient water volume can result in higher
speed. The water tends to restrain and cushion motions and impacts as well as reduce
speed.
Evacuation and Emergency Procedures
In an emergency situation affecting the slide:
1 Top attendants shall cease dispatch of all riders.
2 If water flow is impeding the remedy of the emergency situation, use E-stop to turn off
power to the pump(s).
3 Riders in the slide shall continue down the slide and exit normally if possible.
4 Attendants shall ensure all riders have exited the slide either through the bottom or at
egress locations.
5 Patrons may remain queued on tower and stairs if they are not affecting the
emergency situation.
6 If necessary to evacuate the tower, patrons shall be guided by top attendant to exit via the
stairs from the start tower or egress location.
7 Slide should remain closed until cause of emergency situation is investigated and
resolved.
8 In case of serious injuries or problems, operator should notify manufacturer and other
regulatory bodies as required by law.
2. The ASTM standard F 853 - XX Standard Practice for Maintenance Procedures for
Amusement Rides and Devices.
The ASTM Standard F 853 for Amusement Rides and Devices is a broad -based
standard covering all the various rides and attractions encountered in the amusement
industry. Most of the requirements are directed at complex mechanical devices that are
subject to wear. These devices may have critical connectors and linkages that must be
inspected regularly to avoid catastrophic failure. Waterslides in general are quite
simple. The following is WhiteWater's requirement for inspection of waterslides to
conform to ASTM. These are to be used in conjunction with WhiteWater's Operation &
Maintenance Manual.
Operational Tests of Critical Operating Items
Waterslides use water pumped into the starting area of the ride to operate. The water
volume is important to safe operation of the ride. In general, the less water volume
pumped, the faster the rider will travel. If during operation, the water supply is restricted
or fails, operators shall suspend operations when water volume is below specified
operating requirements. A basic operational test should be performed daily in
accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual.
March 13, 2017 Page 37 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
155
Inspection of the fiberglass and sliding surface must be made daily in accordance with
the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. Small chips or surface
imperfections may cause injury to riders.
Recommended Maintenance/Inspection
The daily inspection of the slides is detailed in the Waterslides Operations &
Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1, which covers the
operational components of the slide. The only other items that should be inspected are
the supporting structures for the slides and start platforms.
Inspection of supporting structures:
• Steel structures that are hot dipped galvanized will require visual inspections on a
semiannual basis. Areas around field welds should be carefully checked and touched up
with zinc rich paint as necessary. If rust streaking occurs, the source should be identified
and attended to. If steel structures are ten years old or greater, a comprehensive
professional inspection should be performed.
• Steel structures that are painted without galvanizing should be visually inspected on an
annual basis. If steel structures are five years old or greater, a comprehensive
professional inspection should be performed.
• Wood structures should be visually inspected annually for integrity, tightness of
fasteners and general condition. If wood structures are over five years old, a
comprehensive professional inspection should be performed.
Climactic and operation conditions vary greatly and will affect the interval times above.
In more corrosive environments such as seaside or some indoor installations, the
interval times should be reduced.
Other routine checks completed annually:
• All concrete filled stairs and decks should be visually inspected for worn finishes on the
nosing and cracked concrete. The underside of the metal decking should be checked for
deterioration.
• All welds should be visually inspected for condition and all bolts should be snug.
• Anchor bolts should be checked for tightness and corrosion. Grout around base plates
should be in good condition.
• Inspection and maintenance of fiberglass should be performed as per the
WhiteWater Operations & Maintenance Manual Part III.
Comprehensive professional inspections should be performed by a qualified
engineering or inspection firm. They perform inspections with methods they deem
appropriate to assure accurate review of the structure. These methods may include
non-destructive testing using ultrasound or other techniques. Inspection would include
condition of metal components, welds, bolts, and any other critical items. The
inspecting agency should produce a certificate of inspection and/or a report on condition
for review by a qualified engineer.
March 13, 2017 Page 38 Project # 31548 Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
156
Fiberglass Wear Limits
The fiberglass should be inspected regularly as per the WhiteWater Operations &
Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1. The riding surface of the
flume is subject to wear and weathering. The exterior of the slide is subject to
weathering. The fiberglass should be inspected professionally if five years old or older.
Other Wear Limits
Rides using boats will experience wear on the boats. If the wear is excessive it may
impair the function of the boat and operation of the ride. This is especially true if the
ride uses shutdown lanes. The wear should be checked in accordance with the boat
manufacturer's recommendations.
Replacement Fasteners
All replacement fasteners shall conform to the standards specified in the engineering
drawings.
Electrical / Mechanical Systems Operation and Maintenance
All electrical motors, pumps, controls etc. shall be inspected and maintained in
accordance with their manufacturer's recommendations.
All pump intake grating or screens must be inspected to ensure that no structural flaw is
evident.
Note: Whenever inspection or maintenance work is being done on electrical/mechanical
systems, including pump intake grating, all related equipment must be electrically
isolated using recognized equipment lock out procedures.

.0 (v) OBJECTIVE
The objective of this procedure is to outline the procedure for the Owner/Operator to perform annual operational testing
on their slide to ensure that it's operating within its prescribed operational limits.
2.0 (vi) SCOPE
The scope of this document is limited to high speed body slides with shutdown lanes.
3.0 (vii) PROCEDURE FOR OPERATIONAL TESTING
This section will outline the procedure for the Owner/Operator to perform annual operational testing on their
slide to ensure that it's operating within its prescribed operational limits set during commissioning.
1. Inspect the slide surface and joints for defects such as chips and cracks. Perform remedial work as
necessary.
2. To ensure optimal slide performance, the slide surface must be clean and free of scale and residue.
Clean and wax the slide surface, per the O&M, if the slide surface is compromised.
3. Turn on the slide pumps. Ensure valve lockout tags installed during commissioning are still in place
and haven't been tampered with. Verify that all flow meters are functional and reading within the
prescribed range documented within the completed "shutdown lane flow transition data recording
sheet" for the given slide.
4. Inspect the shutdown lane settings. Ensure that the flow transition is approximately centered within the
flow transition markers, and that the water depth at the end of the shutdown lane is at the height of the
depth marker set during commissioning. Refer to the completed "shutdown lane flow transition data
recording sheet" for commissioning settings.
5. Document all slide settings; including slide surface quality, flow rate, location of flow transition, weir
height, and depth of water in the shutdown lane.

Part I GENERAL OPERATING GUIDELINES
Important Notice
The following operating procedures are presented to waterslide owners as guidelines
only. They are not intended to be mandatory or exhaustive. These guidelines do not
replace proper consultation with designers, manufacturers and legal counsel, and
compliance with local, state (provincial) and federal laws and regulations involving, but
not limited to: health, safety and building codes.
General Operating Considerations
1. Customers
While customers are the key ingredients to the success of any waterpark, certain rules
and procedures must be made clear for the park to function efficiently and safely.
1.1 Posted Signs
A sign must be posted at the entrance to the waterpark that states user responsibility
and conveys the following rules and regulations:
1 Read and obey all posted signs.
2 Obey all instructions given by the attendants and operators.
3 No glass, cigarettes and/or food are permitted in the water slide area.
4 Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not be permitted in the park.
5 Pregnant women and those with a history of heart problems or back trouble should
not use the slides.
6 Failure to follow rules and instructions can lead to serious injuries.
7 Ride at your own risk.
Note: Specific sign requirements for each waterslide are detailed in Part II - Specific
Operating Guidelines.
1.2 Access
Provisions must be made to prevent customers from entering the water slide at any
points other than at the designated entry access points.
1.3 Physical Condition
Waterslide customers must be checked for proper swimwear and adequate physical
condition. Swim attire should not have any metal parts that could damage the slides
or cause injuries. Customers who show signs of drug and/or alcohol impairment will
not be permitted on the site.
April 7, 2016 Page 5 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
173
1.4 Visitors and Spectators
Visitors and spectators should be physically separated from the areas used by
sliders. They should be kept a safe distance away from any wet areas and not be
permitted to interfere with the sliders.
1.5 Food and Drinks
No food or drinks are allowed in the immediate area of flumes and pools or on
decks, stairs and walkways surrounding flumes and pools. Food and beverages
should be confined to visitor and spectator areas or similarly marked areas for
sliders. Trash containers should be provided to keep litter off decks and walkways
and out of flumes and pools.
2. Attendants
Waterpark attendants are responsible for safe and orderly conduct of customers, safe
entry and exit of riders from the slides, general crowd control and emergency
procedures.
During operating hours, there must be at least one attendant on duty at all times who
has completed a Red Cross or equivalent Standard First Aid and Safety course. This
person must also be competent in carrying out any emergency procedures specific to
the slide he or she is operating.
Every water slide should be equipped with a battery or electronically operated system to
provide voice communication between attendants at different locations on the slides and
park office or permanently manned control center.
2.1 Top of Slides
The area at the top of every water slide must be supervised by at least one
attendant who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible
for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers enter slides or rafts/mats properly.
• Ensuring that customers are dispatched at safe intervals.
• Visually surveying all areas of the water slide that are visible from attendant's
position, with the exception of the splash pool, and communicating any problems to
the other attendants.
• Ensuring that customers meet the minimum and/or maximum restrictions for the
slide.
• Ensuring that any vehicles used are in good condition and if inflated, inflated
properly.
2.2 Splash Pool
The recommended depth for the splash pool is 3.5 feet (1.07 metres) except
otherwise noted in special conditions and therefore must be supervised by at least
April 7, 2016 Page 6 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
174
one certified lifeguard who has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is
responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers move into and out of splash pool in a quick and orderly
manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on pool decks.
• Ensuring pool water levels are correct.
2.3 Runout Lane
The runout lanes of waterslides must be supervised by at least one attendant who
has continuous and direct supervision of that area and is responsible for:
• Ensuring that customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly manner.
• Ensuring that customers exit runout lane in a quick and orderly manner.
• Controlling running, horseplay or other unsafe behavior on slide apron.
• Ensuring water levels are at level marks and flow transition is within indicator
markings.
2.4 Water Treatment
A specific person on each shift should be responsible for chlorination and water
treatment procedures. They should be thoroughly trained in all aspects including,
routine operations, handling, connection, disconnection, emergency procedures and
leak control procedures. A safety chart should be posted in or near the chlorination
room and a second safety chart should be placed in the pool office near the
telephone. Emergency telephone numbers should also be shown on the safety
charts.
2.5 Pool Operations
A specific person on each shift should be made responsible for all swimming pool
operations, such as: circulation and filtering system operation, maintenance,
inspections, backwashing and cleaning. They should be thoroughly trained by an
expert in swimming pool operations.
3. Inspections
Permanently bound log books should be kept to record all inspections, operational tests,
water quality monitoring, all accidents and unusual occurrences. Log books should be
kept for a period of at least six (6) years from the date of the last entry. Log book
entries that cover the twelve (12) month period previous to the last entry in the log book
should be kept readily available.
3.1 Slide Inspections
Daily inspections must be made to check for:
• obstructions in slide paths
April 7, 2016 Page 7 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
175
• cracks, chips or bubbles in sliding surfaces
• rough patchwork at joints or cracks
• caulking protruding from joined flanges
• leaking seals at joints
• loose risers on turns
• excessive movement of flumes when walked on
• joints opening up
• proper inflation and condition of rafts, tubes and vehicles
• landing or pool bottom padding, if used, is in good condition and properly
secured.
3.2 Mechanical Inspections
Daily inspections must be completed on each waterslide:
• before water is circulated to ensure no safety hazards exist
• with the water circulating to ensure there is sufficient water flowing in the
channel and correct water level is in splash pool or runout lane
• to ensure that all the pumping and filtration equipment is operating correctly
• to ensure that conveyor system is operating properly and poses no hazard
It is the attendant's responsibility to ensure water flow is maintained in accordance
with manufacturers' guidelines. Serious hazards may develop when flow is
interrupted in a flume.
3.3 Chemical Inspections
Proper water chemical balance must be obtained each day before the facility is
opened to the public. While the facility is operational, water quality testing should be
performed at intervals in accordance with local health authority's guidelines.
Inspections should also be made during periods of heavy usage to ensure circulation
and filtration systems are handling peak loads. The attendant must keep logs of all
water testings performed. A typical form for water quality testing is shown in
Appendix 1-I.
The attendant must ensure that customers cannot come in contact with water
treatment, re -circulation and filtration equipment. Mechanical and chemical storage
rooms must be locked at all times to prevent customer access.
4. Accidents
The most common accidents in waterparks are: slips and falls, collisions between one
riding customer and another customer, impact with the pool surface, and abrasions from
sidewalls. Operators should keep detailed logs of all reported accidents onsite. A
typical accident report form is included in Appendix 1-II.
April 7, 2016 Page 8 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
176
4.1 Incident Reporting
The owner or operator shall notify the manufacturer (Whitewater West Industries
Ltd.) of any known serious incidents that require immediate hospital admission.
Minor injuries that may or may not require treatment shall be reported to the
manufacturer if deemed to be related to the equipment design or function.
There may be local jurisdiction and laws requiring notification of incidents. The
owner or operator may be required to notify these local jurisdictions in addition to the
above.
4.2 Floatation Devices
The operator should not infer that rafts, tubes or any other floatation device, with
exception of government approved life jackets, offer the user any safety benefit.
Where unapproved floatation devices are provided, signs should be posted stating
they are for pleasure only and should not be used as a substitute for approved
floatation devices.
4.3 Slips and Falls
Slips and falls are a constant concern in all areas of the waterpark. All surfaces
intended for pedestrian traffic, whether in the water, on walkways, on loading
platforms or on stairs should be made and maintained slip -resistant. Proper periodic
maintenance of walking surfaces should be carried out to remove the growth of
algae and fungi which could inhibit the surfaces intended function. Adequate
drainage should be maintained around all areas of the slides.
The entry section to flumes should be given particular attention with respect to slips
and falls. The combination of the flowing water and the customer contacting water
on a slippery surface for the first time can be confusing and disorienting. The exit
area of the splashdown pool will always be wet and flowing with water which
requires special attention with respect to slip -resistant surfaces, drainage and
number and location of attendants.
To minimize slip and fall type accidents, attendants throughout the waterpark should
control running and horseplay.
4.4 Bodily Collisions
Bodily collisions occur in flumes and splash pools as a result of riders traveling at
different speeds and riders slowing or stopping in the flume. Restricting traffic flow
with proper dispatching intervals can minimize these bodily collisions. The top
attendant and lower attendant must have a view of much of the slide and a means of
communication between them. The entry attendant must be alert and aware that
people will travel at different rates due to variations in body weight, body friction, and
rider position. Generally, the heavier the person, the faster the rider will travel.
Slippery materials like nylon slide much faster than cotton clothing. All other factors
being equal, riders in a sitting position will travel slower than a person lying flat on
their back. Under no circumstances should customers be permitted to ride flumes in
April 7, 2016 Page 9 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
177
a standing position. Similarly, running or leaping entry into flumes is not to be
permitted.
In addition to slide entry attendants, use of signal lights or electro-mechanical
starting gates should be considered for rider entry control.
As bodily collisions in splash pool area cannot be fully controlled even with proper
entry rates; splash pool attendants should be well trained, attentive and aggressive,
continuously urging and encouraging customers to leave the flume discharge and
splash pool area as quickly as possible. They must be alert to the possibility of
problems and be prepared to enter the water at any time to assist a customer. In the
event of a delay at discharge, following riders should be stopped at the entry. Riders
tend to congregate in the pool because they are temporarily confused and
disoriented upon impact with the water, to wait for their friends who are coming
behind, or to socialize with persons in the splash pool. Collisions also result from
multiple rider entry (i.e. trains). This practice is absolutely prohibited even for small
children being carried on their parent's legs.
If marker buoys or lane ropes are used in the splash pool, they must be arranged so
they do not become obstacles for riders. Such devices, if used, should float and be
simple in design to avoid the possibility of entangling riders.
4.5 Chemical Hazards
Personnel must be fully trained in the use of water chemicals. Potentially fatal
accidents could result from the release of gaseous chlorine. Improper chemical
control could result in skin and eye irritation from excessive treatment. Bacterial
problems could also arise from inadequate treatment.
5. Emergency Procedures
Every park must have an emergency plan with specific procedures covering:
• crowd control
• park evacuation
• drowning
• heart attacks
• cuts and burns
• neck and spinal injuries
• power or other utility failures
• fires
• security (fights, robbery, vandalism)
• exposure to chlorine
• environmental conditions (e.g., lightning, windstorms, hail, earthquakes)
An emergency plan should address those factors which affect, human safety, protection
and correction of equipment, and customer relations. All employees should be trained
and drilled periodically in the execution of the emergency plan. The emergency plan
April 7, 2016 Page 10 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
178
should be easily accessible and be located with first aid equipment and emergency
telephone numbers.
Each facility should have a list of current emergency numbers posted by a telephone.
The list should include the contact information for the nearest available doctor,
ambulance service, hospital, rescue service, police department, fire department and
poison control center. A typical emergency telephone list is shown in Appendix 1-III.
Each facility should have available the following first aid supplies:
• A standard 24-unit first aid kit stocked and readily accessible for use.
• A stretcher and blankets.
• A standard plywood backboard or other acceptable splint for persons with back and
neck injuries.
• An area or room set aside for the emergency care of injuries.
6. Operator's Changes
WhiteWater should be advised of any changes made in slides, structures or equipment,
manufactured, designed or installed by WhiteWater West Industries Ltd. Changes
could affect the safety of the attraction.

Part II SPECIFIC OPERATING GUIDELINES
AQUADROP SLIDE waterslides (32) into shutdown lane — Slide AE
The primary operating concern in the AquaDrop is to ensure the riders assume the
correct riding position. In addition to written instructions below we recommend a pictorial
representation of rider position on walkways leading to the slide, and at the top platform.
1. Posted Signs
1.1 Entry Station:
Signs should be posted at the entry station of the ride to convey the following rules
and regulations:
1. Maximum operational load 1 person, 45-3001b. (20.4-136.4 kg).

April 7, 2016 Page 13 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
181
2. Attendants
Attendants should be alert to controlling crowd behavior, ensuring safe and orderly entry
and exit and controlling the proper entry rate into the slide.
FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE LAUNCH MECHANISM AND AQUADROP
RIDE ARE CONTAINED IN OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS MANUAL. OPERATORS
MUST BE TRAINED AND FAMILIAR WITH THESE SECTIONS.
2.1 Attendant / top - 1 attendant per slide
Duties:
1. Ensure the crowd behaves in a safe and orderly manner.
2. Ensure all riders meet requirements.
3. Ensure eyeglasses are securely affixed to the riders.
4. Observe bathing suits for zippers, buckles, rivets, etc. and do not allow them on the
slide.
5. Observe riders for any physical impairment that compromise safety and do not allow
them on the slide.
6. Ensure all riders are in proper riding position before dispatching.
7. The attendant shall dispatch riders one at a time and shall not dispatch a rider until the
slide landing area is clear of obstruction and any previous riders, and signal from
attendant at shutdown lane that it is OK to dispatch.
8. Monitor riders in areas visible from assigned positions.
2.2 Attendant / shutdown lane: 1 lifeguard per two slides
Duties:
1. Ensure customers conduct themselves in a safe and orderly fashion.
2. Do not allow riders to block the end of a slide. Delay dispatch of next rider if the
slide landing area is obstructed.
3. Ensure that all riders exit the shutdown lane immediately upon
splashdown. Do not permit guests to sit on or congregate around
shutdown lane.
4. Be prepared to enter shutdown lane to assist customer out of lane.
5. Do not allow any swimming or flotation devices in shutdown lane.
6. Monitor water level and characteristics of the shutdown lanes. Shutdown lanes
require extra attention to make sure water levels are at correct operating levels
and flow transition has stabilized. Too little or too much depth in the shutdown
lane will affect braking distance and characteristics.
7. Signal the dispatch attendant as to when it is okay to dispatch another rider
when:
i. flume and shutdown lane are clear of previous riders and,

PART III
MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
April 7, 2016 Page 16 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
184
Part III MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES FOR FRP FLUME
If properly maintained, your waterslide will give you years of service and keep sliding
the way it was meant to - SAFE and FUN. By keeping the slide and its components
properly maintained, you will be ensuring high performance and long life.
1. Cleaning
Maintenance requires removal of surface dirt, grease and suntan oil by cleaning the
flumes with a soft -bristled brush and mild detergent such as 3M - "Multi Purpose Boat
Soap". For hard water buildup (a white chalky discoloration) removal/maintenance use
"C.L.R." or other cleaners specific for this purpose. For removal of difficult stains use a
cut polish or rubbing compound and finish wax or a combination product such as 3M
"Marine One -Step Fiberglass Restorer and Wax".
2. Waxing
At least twice each year, the fiberglass finish should be waxed and buffed with high
quality paste wax or polish such as 3M "Marine One -Step Fiberglass Restorer and
Wax". On scratched, dull or faded areas use a fine buffing compound to restore the
original gloss before waxing. Prolonged exposure to the ultra -violet rays of the sun
can in time, cause discoloring and fading. We recommend using paste waxes or
polishes containing ultra -violet screens. The more often the surface is waxed, the
longer it will last.
CAUTION: If you use power tools for buffing or polishing, use extreme care to
prevent overheating the surface. Overheating a rubbing compound burns small
gritty particles into the slide surface causing blistering and streaking. This may
require the area to be sanded and repainted.
3. Joints
Slide joints play an important role in rider comfort and pleasure. Proper
maintenance will keep the joints smooth and trouble free for years.
3.1 Joint Caulking
All fiberglass sections will expand and contract with temperature changes.
Therefore, joints between sections are filled with a flexible, elastic caulking. Should
the joints need re -caulking, all the old filler should be removed, the fiberglass should
be cleaned and joints should be re -filled using a flexible polyurethane sealant. DO
NOT use plastic filler that will harden. Under no circumstances should the joints
be fiberglassed over. Excess joint caulking should be removed from the slide
surface by scraping it off with a putty knife. Any remaining traces should be wiped
off with lacquer thinner applied to a rag. Do not pour lacquer thinner directly onto a
flume joint as it can dissolve the sealant.
April 7, 2016 Page 17 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
185
3.2 Joint Roughness
Joints may become rough with use, especially if metal articles are allowed down the
slide. For minor chips and cracks, the joints may be fixed using the procedures
outlined in Part III, Section 4.
More serious cases may require power sanding that will cut through the gelcoat.
This will require a spray application of new gelcoat by a trained person, finished by
sanding and polishing and waxing as outlined in Part III.
4. Patching
Chips and cracks may appear in fiberglass flumes from normal usage. The following
sections outline procedures to repair minor damage to slides. Due to the hazardous
nature of materials used and variability of application methods, we recommend that a
qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.
4.1 Minor Chips and Cracks
In areas that have chips or cracks in the gelcoat only, or have a scratch that is deep
enough to penetrate through the gelcoat to the fiberglass but not deep enough to go
completely through the laminate, follow the procedures given in Part III, Section 4.4.
NOTE: For damage that penetrates completely through or deep into the laminate,
we recommend that a qualified fiberglass laminator perform the repairs.
4.2 Surface Cracks
Hairline cracks, sometimes called spider webbing, or star cracks may develop in the
gelcoat or surface coating of the fiberglass product. This is caused by a combination
of weathering, vibrations, and/or impacts. Although unsightly, they do not
necessarily affect structural strength. The hairline cracks can be fixed by sanding
out the affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re -coating the surface with
gelcoat. Follow the patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4
through 6.
4.3 Cracks around Flanges
The area around the flanges of flumes contains a thick layer of gelcoat which is very
stiff. Stresses from normal use may cause cracks in the gelcoat around the flanges.
These are not structural cracks. Flange cracks may be remedied by sanding the
affected area with 100 grit sandpaper and re -coating with gelcoat. Follow the
patching instructions in Part III, Section 4.4.3, omitting steps 4 through 6.
April 7, 2016 Page 18 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
186
4.4 Repair Procedures
WARNING:
Patching kits contain toxic, combustible and corrosive elements. Use only under
well ventilated conditions. Do not inhale fumes. Seek medical attention if polyester
resins are swallowed or inhaled. Should contact occur with the eye flush with water
for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. If person is wearing contact lenses and
the lenses did not flush out from the water, have the person try to remove AFTER
the flushing procedure. If contents come in contact with skin or clothing, clean the
area immediately with acetone.
Before you start, you will need:
1 Sandpaper: 36 - 100 grit; 220 - 320 grit wet and dry; 600 grit wet and dry
2 Sanding block
3 Acetone
4 2" masking tape
5 Utility knife
6 Putty knife
7 Mixing board
8 Mixing cup
9 Fiberglass resin hardener (catalyst), use a peroxide based catalyst (MEKP)
10 Patching compound
11 Gelcoat paint
12 2" fine paint brush
13 Automotive cut polish
14 High quality paste wax such as "Turtle" wax
4.4.1 Storage Instructions
Store uncatalyzed patching compound and gelcoat in closed metal containers in
a cool area below 73° Fahrenheit (23° Celsius) out of direct sunlight. Do not
allow to freeze.
Store liquid catalysts in their original containers according to manufacturer's
instructions.
4.4.2 Mixing Instructions
Mix only small amounts at one time. The mixtures will harden in twenty (20)
minutes to 1 hour, depending on the temperature and the amount of catalyst
added. The mixture will harden faster at higher temperatures and with increasing
amounts of catalyst added. Use caution when adding catalyst, over catalyzing
will result in the mixture cracking. Do not pour catalyzed mixtures back into the
can. Do not reduce materials with a "conventional" paint or lacquer thinner.
April 7, 2016 Page 19 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
187
Patching Compound: Add one (1) part catalyst to one hundred (100) parts
patching compound on the mixing board. Mix well.
Gelcoat: Add one (1) part catalyst to one hundred (100) parts gelcoat in the
mixing cup. Mix well.
4.4.3 Patching Instructions
1 Sand area to be patched with 36 -100 grit sandpaper. Feather sand to moulded
surface and remove all rough edges.
2 Wash area clean with acetone and allow to dry.
3 Mask off area to be patched with 2" masking tape.
4 Using a putty knife, spread the patching compound smoothly over the
prepared area to the top of the tape.
NOTE: Area must be dry and clear of contaminants, such as dirt and sanded
particles, etc.
5 Keep the patched area dry and allow 20 minutes to 1 hour to harden.
6 After the patch has hardened, sand the patched area flush to the surrounding surface
with 100 grit sandpaper.
NOTE: Sanding will remove the masking tape. Re -tape the area before
painting.
7 Using a 2" fine paint brush, paint the area with gelcoat. Allow twenty (20)
minutes to one (1) hour to dry.
NOTE: The paintbrush and tools can be cleaned with acetone.
8 After the gelcoat has dried, remove the masking tape. Using a sanding block, wet
sand with 220 - 320 grit sandpaper. Repeat with 600 grit sandpaper.
9 Buff painted surface with auto cut polish and wash clean with water.
10 Wax and buff painted surface with a high quality paste wax.

PART IV
SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
April 7, 2016 Page 21 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
189
PART IV SUPPLEMENT TO MANUAL FOR ASTM STANDARDS
1. The ASTM standard F 2376-XX Standard Practice for Classification, Design,
Manufacture, Construction, and Operation of Water Slide Systems.
The ASTM standard F 2376 for Water Slide Systems is a standard developed
specifically to cover Water Slide systems. The standard references several other
standards which together form the basis of a complete standard for the Design,
Manufacture, Construction and Operation of Water Slide Systems. Operators are
encouraged to become active members of the ASTM F24 group. The fees are nominal
and provide access to the relevant standards. Operators should be aware of these
standards and the responsibilities outlined within them.
General Description of Rides
Waterslides use the flow of water to propel or lubricate the movement of riders down a
fixed fiberglass flume section. The riders may ride alone with no vehicle, in groups on
specially designed inflatable inner tubes or on a custom made inflatable boat or raft.
The riding configuration depends on the specific product and the method of riding.
Description of Motion
Waterslide flumes are fixed in position and do not move. Propulsion is from gravity
aided by water flow in the flume. Riders with or without vehicles will experience motion
and accelerations consistent with the flume path. Movements include right and left
turns, vertical curves, and deceleration at the finish. Riders or vehicles shall maintain
constant contact with the flume ride surface.
Operational Restrictions Due to Weather
Wind - Waterslide structures are designed to withstand wind loads specified in the
building code in force for the ride locations. WhiteWater recommends suspending
operation during sustained winds in excess of 40 mph (64 kph).
Lightning - Virtually all waterslides use elevated towers as starting platforms.
Operation of rides should be suspended during any storm or weather conditions where
lightning may occur.
Rain - Rain will have no effect on the operation of the slides, with one exception. All
flumes rely on the cushioning and braking action of the specified water flow. Rain water
can create a very slippery surface and without the braking action of the larger water flow
can create an extremely hazardous condition. Under no circumstances should the
slides be operated without the main water supply running at specified capacity.

Safe water flow
The water flow rate is important to the safe operation of the ride. Operators shall make
sure that the water supply is adequate. Insufficient water volume can result in higher
speed. The water tends to restrain and cushion motions and impacts as well as reduce
speed.
Evacuation and Emergency Procedures
In an emergency situation affecting the slide:
1 Top attendants shall cease dispatch of all riders.
2 If water flow is impeding the remedy of the emergency situation, use E-stop to turn off
power to the pump(s).
3 Riders in the slide shall continue down the slide and exit normally if possible.
4 Attendants shall ensure all riders have exited the slide either through the bottom or at
egress locations.
5 Patrons may remain queued on tower and stairs if they are not affecting the
emergency situation.
6 If necessary to evacuate the tower, patrons shall be guided by top attendant to exit via the
stairs from the start tower or egress location.
7 Slide should remain closed until cause of emergency situation is investigated and
resolved.
8 In case of serious injuries or problems, operator should notify manufacturer and other
regulatory bodies as required by law.
2. The ASTM standard F 853 - XX Standard Practice for Maintenance Procedures for
Amusement Rides and Devices.
The ASTM Standard F 853 for Amusement Rides and Devices is a broad -based
standard covering all the various rides and attractions encountered in the amusement
industry. Most of the requirements are directed at complex mechanical devices that are
subject to wear. These devices may have critical connectors and linkages that must be
inspected regularly to avoid catastrophic failure. Waterslides in general are quite
simple. The following is WhiteWater's requirement for inspection of waterslides to
conform to ASTM. These are to be used in conjunction with WhiteWater's Operation &
Maintenance Manual.
Operational Tests of Critical Operating Items
Waterslides use water pumped into the starting area of the ride to operate. The water
volume is important to safe operation of the ride. In general, the less water volume
pumped, the faster the rider will travel. If during operation, the water supply is restricted
or fails, operators shall suspend operations when water volume is below specified
operating requirements. A basic operational test should be performed daily in
accordance with the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual.
April 7, 2016 Page 23 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
191
Inspection of the fiberglass and sliding surface must be made daily in accordance with
the Waterslides Operations & Maintenance Manual. Small chips or surface
imperfections may cause injury to riders.
Recommended Maintenance/Inspection
The daily inspection of the slides is detailed in the Waterslides Operations &
Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1, which covers the
operational components of the slide. The only other items that should be inspected are
the supporting structures for the slides and start platforms.
Inspection of supporting structures:
• Steel structures that are hot dipped galvanized will require visual inspections on a
semiannual basis. Areas around field welds should be carefully checked and touched up
with zinc rich paint as necessary. If rust streaking occurs, the source should be identified
and attended to. If steel structures are ten years old or greater, a comprehensive
professional inspection should be performed.
• Steel structures that are painted without galvanizing should be visually inspected on an
annual basis. If steel structures are five years old or greater, a comprehensive
professional inspection should be performed.
• Wood structures should be visually inspected annually for integrity, tightness of
fasteners and general condition. If wood structures are over five years old, a
comprehensive professional inspection should be performed.
Climactic and operation conditions vary greatly and will affect the interval times above.
In more corrosive environments such as seaside or some indoor installations, the
interval times should be reduced.
Other routine checks completed annually:
• All concrete filled stairs and decks should be visually inspected for worn finishes on the
nosing and cracked concrete. The underside of the metal decking should be checked for
deterioration.
• All welds should be visually inspected for condition and all bolts should be snug.
• Anchor bolts should be checked for tightness and corrosion. Grout around base plates
should be in good condition.
• Inspection and maintenance of fiberglass should be performed as per the
WhiteWater Operations & Maintenance Manual Part III.
Comprehensive professional inspections should be performed by a qualified
engineering or inspection firm. They perform inspections with methods they deem
appropriate to assure accurate review of the structure. These methods may include
non-destructive testing using ultrasound or other techniques. Inspection would include
condition of metal components, welds, bolts, and any other critical items. The
inspecting agency should produce a certificate of inspection and/or a report on condition
for review by a qualified engineer.
April 7, 2016 Page 24 Project # 31548 — Emerald Glen Aquatic Center
192
Fiberglass Wear Limits
The fiberglass should be inspected regularly as per the WhiteWater Operations &
Maintenance Manual Part I - Section 3 and Part III - Section 1. The riding surface of the
flume is subject to wear and weathering. The exterior of the slide is subject to
weathering. The fiberglass should be inspected professionally if five years old or older.
Other Wear Limits
Rides using boats will experience wear on the boats. If the wear is excessive it may
impair the function of the boat and operation of the ride. This is especially true if the
ride uses shutdown lanes. The wear should be checked in accordance with the boat
manufacturer's recommendations.
Replacement Fasteners
All replacement fasteners shall conform to the standards specified in the engineering
drawings.
Electrical / Mechanical Systems Operation and Maintenance
All electrical motors, pumps, controls etc. shall be inspected and maintained in
accordance with their manufacturer's recommendations.
All pump intake grating or screens must be inspected to ensure that no structural flaw is
evident.
Note: Whenever inspection or maintenance work is being done on electrical/mechanical
systems, including pump intake grating, all related equipment must be electrically
isolated using recognized equipment lock out procedures.

CAPSULE BEFORE LAUNCHING!
There are two ways to launch the rider; from the "RCC1" panel or from the multi -launch
console (if applicable). The following sections will describe both launching procedures.
If the rider is ready, in the correct riding position, and the operator is ready to launch the
rider, the operator presses and holds the two launch pushbuttons (same for multi -launch
console), thus activating the timer for release of the trapdoor.
Upon pressing and holding the two launch pushbuttons an audible countdown will
begin; "three, two, one".
During the countdown, the operator should continue to observe the rider to ensure the
rider maintains the proper launch position.

Press one of the "EMERGENCY STOP" pushbuttons any time the slide needs to be
shut down in an emergency situation. This will disable all operations of the ride.
3.10. Power Failure
In the event of a power failure prior to launch, immediately stop operations. The
AquaDrop is equipped with a battery backup unit, but it is of limited capacity, and should
not be used to conduct regular operations. Unload the guest, close the door, remove
the Operations Key from the "RCC1" panel, and wait for the power to return.
In the unlikely event that power is lost and the battery backup fails, a purely mechanical
guest removal system is provided. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for instructions on
how to manually open the entry door.
3.11. Occupied Slide/Clearing the Slide
Once the rider has been launched into the slide, the system will require verification that
the rider has completed and safely exited the slide. The amber light on the operator

2.3.14. Pushrod Linkage
The pushrod linkage is responsible for converting the linear motion of the drop cylinder
into the rotational motion of the roller bar assembly. When the drop cylinder is retracted,
the roller bar rotates backwards towards the drop cylinder; releasing the trapdoor from
its supports and dispatching a rider into the slide.
When the trapdoor swings back into the up and locked position, an internal spring within
the drop cylinder provides a positive force to push the roller bar forward into the locked
position.

?.3.14.1 Inspecting the Pushrod Linkage
During normal operating conditions, the roller bar should be firmly pressed against the
pillow blocks due to the spring force from the drop cylinder. However, over time, the
pushrod linkage may become worn, resulting in a loose connection between the drop
cylinder and the roller bar. Too much play in this linkage may result in unreliable
operation of the trapdoor. The following procedure will describe how to inspect the
pushrod linkage.

4. With your hand, gently pull back on the roller bar. If you
can move the roller bar away from the face of the
pillow block by more than 3 mm (1/8") without
overcoming the spring force from the drop cylinder,
then the pushrod linkage is

Common Problems
The following list describes typical problems that may arise during operation of the slide
and a list of potential solutions to each.
Problem Solution
Entry door won't open
• If you have a Multi -Launch console,
check that override switch is turned
OFF.
• Check proximity sensors on rotary
actuator, drop cylinder, and roller bar.
These should all be lit when the door is
closed. If they're not lit, then they may
need to be adjusted or replaced.
• Check that "JBDOOR" switch is in the
ON position.
• Check that the release pin is
connected to the linear actuator and
linkage assembly
No Sound
• Check that the voice output element
is properly connected to the voice
output connection element.
• The voice output element may need to
be replaced.
Trapdoor does not drop for heavy riders
• Check the rollers for corrosion.
• Check the unit air pressure.
• Check flow control valve setting.
• Ensure there isn't water in the air lines.
Trapdoor does not latch in place after
launching a rider
• Check unit air pressure.
• Ensure trapdoor clamps are engaged.
• Ensure there isn't water in the air lines.
• Confirm solenoid valve for rotary
actuator is functional.
Cannot launch rider when door is closed and
slide is clear
• Check that the light on the safety
switch is green when the door is
closed. If not, adjust the position of
the switch and actuator until the light
turns from red to green.
• Switch or actuator may need to
be replaced.
• Faulty electrical connection.
Flow switches won't go low after water is
shut off
87
• Check flow switches for debris.
• Check electrical connections for
moisture and debris.
• Flow switches may need to be replaced.
2
7.3. Fault Code "UE 00'.
Fault code "UE 00" indicates that the system is ready for operation.
When the PLC displays "UE 00" and the entry door is closed, both "LAUNCH"
pushbuttons should be lit green and it is safe to launch a rider.
If the PLC displays "UE 00" but the two "LAUNCH" pushbuttons are not lit green then
the system thinks that the entry door is open and won't permit a launch.
Solutions:
• If the entry door is not closed, then close it using the "DOOR CLOSE" pushbutton.
• If the entry door is already closed, there may be a problem with the door sensor or one of the
electrical connections.
o Check the alignment of the sensor and ensure that the light on the sensor is green when
the door is closed. If the light is red instead of green then it may be too far from the
safety switch actuator and the position may need to be adjusted.
o The problem may also be due to a faulty sensor or connection between the sensor and
the distribution box or other electrical connection.
.�. Fault Code "UE 07
Fault code "UE 07" indicates there is insufficient water flow at one or more of the
flow switches. The safety system continuously monitors each flow switch to ensure
sufficient water flow.
If the system detects insufficient water flow, a fault will be triggered and "UE 07" will be
displayed on the PLC.
The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Solutions:
• Check that all pumps are turned on.
• Confirm that the basket strainer is clean.
• Identify which flow switch is causing the problem.
o AquaDrop has two paddle style flow switches.
o Use I/O table and look at PLC to see which one is off.
o Flow switch may have debris in it or may need to be replaced.
- ault Coae "Lit 11
Fault code "UE 11" indicates that the system water needs to be cycled.
The safety system checks each flow switch every 24 hours to confirm that it has
88
3
changed state from ON to OFF. This check confirms that each flow switch is
functioning properly. Without this check, if a flow
89
4
switch failed in the ON position then the system would think the water is ON even when
the water is OFF. This is not safe!
Normal daily operations where water is turned on in the morning and turned off in the
evening is sufficient to satisfy this requirement.
If the system detects that one or more flow switches have not changed state, then
"UE 11" will be displayed on the PLC.
The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Solutions:
• With all pumps ON, confirm that all flow switch inputs on the PLC are ON. Refer to the I/O table.
• If any flow switches are not ON then they may need to be cleaned or replaced.
• With all pumps OFF, confirm that all flow switch inputs on the PLC are OFF. Refer to I/O table.
• If any flow switches are not OFF then they may need to be cleaned or replaced.
7.6. Fault Code "UE 22"
Fault code "UE 22" indicates a trapdoor sensor fault, or anytime the system detects an
incomplete launch sequence.
The safety system monitors each of the three trapdoor sensors to ensure they change
state during each launch cycle. Similar to the flow switch check, this check confirms that
each sensor is functioning properly.
The slide cannot operate until the problem has been
resolved. Causes:
• Faulty sensor
• Faulty solenoid valve
• Loose or faulty electrical connection
Solutions:
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean, free of moisture (dielectric grease is fine), and snug.
• All three sensor inputs on PLC should be ON when the trapdoor is up and locked. There are also
lights on each sensor. If not, the sensor may be misaligned or may need to be replaced. Refer to
I/O table.
• Prepare the trapdoor for maintenance. Manually push the roller bar back to retract the drop
cylinder; both the roller bar sensor and the drop cylinder sensor inputs should be OFF. The rotary
actuator sensor input should also be OFF. If any are ON, then the sensor may be misaligned or
may need to be replaced. Refer to I/O table.
• If you replace a sensor and find that the problem is still not fixed, it could be a problem with the
multi -port distribution box that connects the sensor back the "RCC1" panel.
90
5
o Example: If the sensor input on the PLC in ON when the sensor is unplugged from the
distribution box, then there is likely a short circuit in the distribution box or cable.
• If all three sensors are functioning correctly but you are still getting "UE 22" then it may be a faulty
solenoid valve. Observe the lights on each solenoid to confirm that they are turning ON during a
launch sequence. If not, there may be a faulty electrical connection or the valve may need to be
replaced.
Fault Code "UE 23"
Fault code "UE 23" indicates a V_DROP1 solenoid valve fault, or a pressure sensor fault.
Two solenoid valves in series are used to actuate the drop cylinder; V_DROP1 (1) and V_DROP2
(2).
As part of the safety system, a pressure sensor (3) is located between the two valves to
detect a valve failure.
V_DROP1 is energized first and then V_DROP2 is energized a 300ms later
If the pressure sensor detects pressure at any time other than during the launch
sequence, "UE 23" fault will be triggered because either V_DROP1 valve has failed in
the OPEN position, or the pressure sensor has failed in the ON position.
2
Solutions:
• With the air supply OFF, if the pressure sensor input on the PLC is lit then the pressure sensor has
failed. Refer to I/O table.
• If the pressure sensor input is not lit on the PLC when the air supply is OFF, but is lit when the air
supply is ON, then the valve has failed in the OPEN position and will need to be replaced. Refer to
I/O table.
7.8. Fault Code "UE 32"
Fault code "UE 32" indicates a V_DROP2 solenoid valve fault.
Two solenoid valves in series are used to actuate the drop cylinder; V_DROP1 (1) and V_DROP2
91
6
(2).
92
7
As part of the safety system, a pressure sensor (3) is located between the two valves to
detect a valve failure.
V_DROP1 is energized first and then V_DROP2 is energized a 300ms later
If the system detects movement of the trapdoor prior to V_DROP2 being energized,
then V_DROP2 has failed OPEN and "UE 32" fault will be triggered.
2
Solutions:
• Replace V_DROP2 valve
1.9. Fault Code "UE 33"
Fault code "UE 33" indicates that the slide needs to be "cleared" before the system can operate.
The safety system requires manual checks and acknowledgment that the slide is clear
of riders or other hazards before allowing operation. Refer to the Operations Manual for
instructions on how to "Clear" the slide.
If after following the slide clearing sequence the slide will not operate, there is likely a
problem with one of electrical devices.
Solutions:
• Referring to the I/O table, confirm that the inputs for the "CLEAR" button at the "RCC1" panel
change state when pressed.
• Referring to the I/O table, confirm that the inputs for the "CLEAR" button at the end of slide panel
change state when pressed.
• If any of those devices don't change state as they should, then there may be an electrical issue
such as a loose wire, damaged cable, or water ingress. Contact electrician to resolve.

7.10. Fault Code "UE 53"
Fault code "UE 53" indicates that one of the "ESTOP" buttons is pressed.
The "ESTOP" buttons are Emergency Stop buttons that prevent the slide from
operating in the event of an emergency.
Solutions:
• Release affected "ESTOP" button(s) and perform slide clearing procedure.
• There may be an electrical issue with one of the devices; such as a loose wire, damaged cable, or
water ingress. Contact electrician to resolve.
7.11. Fault Code "UE 88"
Fault code "UE 88" indicates that a rider is currently within the slide.
The safety system will not allow another rider to be launched until the slide is clear.
If after following the slide clearing sequence the slide will not operate, there is likely a
problem with one of electrical devices.
Solutions:
• Check electrical devices/connection for loose wires, damaged cables, or water ingress. Contact
electrician to resolve.

TITLE
PROCEDURE FOR ANNUAL OPERATIONAL TESTING OF WATERSLIDE
1.0 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this procedure is to outline the procedure for the Owner/Operator to perform annual
operational testing on their slide to ensure that it's operating within its prescribed operational limits.
2.0 SCOPE
The scope of this document is limited to high speed body slides with shutdown lanes.
3.0 PROCEDURE FOR OPERATIONAL TESTING
This section will outline the procedure for the Owner/Operator to perform annual operational testing
on their slide to ensure that it's operating within its prescribed operational limits set during
commissioning.
1. Inspect the slide surface and joints for defects such as chips and cracks. Perform remedial work as
necessary.
2. To ensure optimal slide performance, the slide surface must be clean and free of scale and residue.
Clean and wax the slide surface, per the O&M, if the slide surface is compromised.
3. Turn on the slide pumps. Ensure valve lockout tags installed during commissioning are still in place
and haven't been tampered with. Verify that all flow meters are functional and reading within the
prescribed range documented within the completed "shutdown lane flow transition data recording
sheet" for the given slide.
4. Inspect the shutdown lane settings. Ensure that the flow transition is approximately centered within the
flow transition markers, and that the water depth at the end of the shutdown lane is at the height of the
depth marker set during commissioning. Refer to the completed "shutdown lane flow transition data
recording sheet" for commissioning settings.
5. Document all slide settings; including slide surface quality, flow rate, location of flow transition, weir
height, and depth of water in the shutdown lane.
4.0 REFERENCE
Refer to the "shutdown lane flow transition data recording sheet" completed for the given slide
during commissioning. This sheet provides the final, commissioned flow, depth and transition
location measurements.
