TheCostsfor a water slide vary depending on the product, location and scope of the provided services. A simple indication of costs is not feasible, as each project is individually evaluated and offered. The construction costs can be broken down into different services in order to enable a detailed cost statement.

The costs depend on several factors, including the following ones:

• Size and length of the slide
• Material (stainless steel or GRP)
• Additional functions (for example: LED lighting, virtual reality)
• Location and installation effort

For an individualofferwe create a tailor-made calculation.

Upon request, when purchasing a water slide, the customer not only receives the slide itself, but also stairs, towers, start and run area as well as potential special effects. The delivery also includes the entire planning documents and, of course, the applicable guarantees. In addition, a TÜV certificate for operational readiness can be issued. Static calculations and technical requirements for water technology are planned by us while the foundations as well as the water technology are usually provided by the customer.

Choosing betweenGRPandStainless steeldepends on many factors. Although stainless steel can be slightly more expensive to purchase, the follow-up and maintenance costs are much lower, and the service life is longer than that of GRP when properly maintained. On the other hand, GRP moulds can be shaped individually and also offer a higher degree of design freedom in terms of visual presentation. This can be a key success factor. For this reason, it is not clear which material is the best choice.

Stainless steelis almost maintenance-free if it is used and cared about properly.GRPon the other hand, is more susceptible to damage from sunlight and mechanical wear. For this reason, an annual maintenance is mandatory. As a consequence, stainless steel offers advantages in terms of maintenance costs as well as in terms of durability.

Yes, Wiegand water slides are sold worldwide. We are in many countries, from China to Cuba, and have an extensive network to for the global distribution and installation of the slides. From here you can reach ourReference Projects.

If you purchase a water slide, the construction situation on site is the first criterion determining what is feasible. It is important to select the correct product, check the statics and construction options, calculate the production times and construction costs and finally plan the implementation. A careful planning and a consideration of all factors is critical to the success of the project. For this reason, professional advice and concrete planning is recommended.

Our slides are designed to have a long service life and low maintenance costs. Their profitability depends on the number of visitors, water and energy costs as well as maintenance costs.

The payback period depends on the operating costs and on the frequency of visitors. The operators usually expect a payback period of around 5 years.

Yes, in addition to water slides, we also manufactureDry Slidesmade of stainless steel, including, for example, escape slides, playground slides, large slides and much more. The areas of application range from amusement parks to shopping centres to office buildings. Go directly to the manufacturer of dry slides:www.wiegandslide.de

Our water slides are made of high-qualityStainless steel (V4A) or of glass fibre reinforced plastic (GRP. Stainless steel is particularly durable, corrosion-resistant and ideal for outdoor use. GRP offers a high level of flexibility in terms of shaping and enables individual color and design options. Both materials ensure stability, optimum slip behavior and a long service life of the plant.

The decision betweenGRPandStainless steeldepends on different factors. Stainless steel is more robust, durable and low-maintenance, while GRP offers more design freedom for individual shapes and daylight effects. There is no clear result as to which material option is better; the choice depends on the specific requirements of the project.

Our water slides are manufactured to the highest international safety standards and comply with the European standard EN 1069. They undergo extensive testing to ensure maximum safety. Important safety features include non-slip entry areas, ergonomically shaped slide elements and robust materials such as stainless steel and GRP. Furthermore, we carry out regular maintenance and safety checks in order to guarantee a long-term safe use.

The sliding speed depends on several factors, including the inclination, the amount of water and special design elements. We can adjust these parameters in order to create different riding sensations – from cozy family slides to action-packed high-speed slides.

Our slides are designed for different weight ranges. Single slides usually have a maximum load of about 120 kg per person, whileTire Slideswithstand higher loads.

Depending on the type of slide, there are also restrictions relating to age and size in order to ensure safety and optimal sliding pleasure. These vary depending on the model and area of application and are determined individually.

Yes, we offer water slides with differentSpecial effectsincluding light, sound and interactive gaming elements which intensify the slide experience.

Our slides can be equipped with integrated speakers which play individual sound effects or music while driving. In addition, LED lighting effects allow for impressive color changes, interactive patterns, and even synchronization with the music.

For even more fun, we offer interactive features such as touchpoints or timekeeping that make sliding a playful competition – perfect for waterslides with gamification concepts.

The special effects make every slide unique and ensure that guests always want to slide again!

Yes, we offer our customers an emergency service for technical problems.

Yes, our water slides are designed for year-round use and can withstand various weather conditions.

Our stainless steel slides consist ofV4A Stainless Steelwhich is particularly resistant to UV radiation, frost, salt water and chlorinated water. This feature makes these slides ideal for use in outdoor swimming pools, coastal regions and on cruise ships.

OurGRP slidesare equipped with a special protective coating that protects them from discoloration, material fatigue and aggressive water chemicals. In this manner, we are able to ensure that our slides remain durable and safe even under demanding conditions.

Our slides are designed to have minimal water consumption. In addition, we rely on energy-efficient pump systems and durable materials permitting the reduction of the environmental impact.

Stainless steel slides are fully recyclable. GRP slides can be partially recycled or disposed of properly. When replacing or modernising, we pay attention to environmentally friendly disposal. 

Our GRP water slides require regularMaintenanceaccording to the standard DIN EN 1069. Our service team carries out annual inspections, repairs, cleanings and upgrades to increase safety, performs professional cleaning and repairs slides regardless of the manufacturer. We will be glad to draw up a maintenance contract with you. Request service now.

The operation of a water slide requires compliance with the DIN EN 1069 standard as well as regular safety tests. The operators must carry out maintenance, ensure water quality and check the slide system for damage. Emergency procedures and clear safety instructions for guests are also required.

The water quality has a direct influence on the longevity as well as on the preservation of the slide materials. Too high chlorine or salt contents can accelerate the corrosion in metal parts such asStainless steeland can attack surfaces ofGRP slides. For this reason, careful monitoring and regulation of water chemistry as well as regular maintenance are essential to minimise material wear and to extend the life of the slide.

The regularCleaningof GRP (glass fibre reinforced plastic) slides is essential for their durability and safety. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services for your slides, both indoors and outdoors. Damaged areas are polished and the slides are thoroughly cleaned, especially before commissioning at the beginning of the season. For optimal care, we recommend carrying out these cleaning measures on a regular basis.

The steel elements of a slide should be regularlycleanedand maintained in order to prevent corrosion and build-up. OurService - Teamoffers professional cleaning services, including polishing and protective measures for the long-term preservation of the surfaces. Especially before the start of the season, thorough cleaning is advisable in order to keep the slide in optimal condition. 

In order to ensure that the water slides are used for a long time, regularMaintenanceand care of the individual components must be guaranteed. A maintenance joint is replaced as follows:

During the first step, the old existing seal must be cut out of the joint without residue by using a sharp cutter knife. After that, the edges must be carefully ground in order to ensure the adhesion of the new seal. During the next step, the area must be thoroughly cleaned and taped. Now the new joint can be filled with new sealant.

The damage to water slides can usually be professionally repaired. Our service team takes care of repair work on both our own slides and on systems from other manufacturers. We repair damage to sliding surfaces, landing pools, stairways and joints. Furthermore, we take care of the renewal of ageing acrylic or macrolone elements. Our qualified fitters ensure that your slide is safe and functional again as soon as possible. RequestServicenow.
