Frequently Asked Questions About Water Slide Rentals
Water slide rentals make summer parties unforgettable, but it’s normal to have questions before you book. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions, helping you plan a safe, smooth, and fun event.
1. How far in advance should I book a water slide?
Book as early as possible—especially for weekends or holidays, as popular models often sell out weeks ahead.
2. Is delivery and setup included?
Most reputable companies include delivery, setup, and pickup in the rental price for local areas. Longer distances may have extra fees—ask your provider for details.
3. Are the slides cleaned and sanitized?
Yes! Cleanliness and sanitizing are top priorities, and every water slide should be thoroughly cleaned before and after each rental for your safety.
4. What surface do I need for setup?
Flat, grassy areas are best. Some rentals can be set up on concrete or asphalt, but avoid rocks. Always check with the rental company for surface requirements.
5. What about weather?
Do not use water slides in rain, high winds, or lightning. Rental companies will often reschedule or refund if bad weather makes it unsafe.
6. How many people can use the slide?
Each slide has weight and capacity limits—usually one user at a time or a specific combined weight. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for age and size.
7. Do I need to provide a water hose and electricity?
Yes, you’ll need a standard garden hose long enough to reach the slide, and a power outlet (typically within 50 feet) for the blower.
8. Can adults use water slides?
Some models are made for both kids and adults, while others are strictly for children. Check the rental item description or consult the provider for adult-friendly slides.
9. Is a deposit required?
Many companies require a deposit when booking, with the balance due at setup or the event date.
10. What if something is damaged?
You are generally not liable for normal wear and tear. However, negligence or improper use may result in responsibility for repair or replacement costs.
