For the floating inflatable water parks, the business owner already took down their equipment and put in the bag for seasonal storage, but did they do it right?

Please continue read this article to learn what preparations you need to do before the months of winter storage for your inflatable water parks.

1. Clean First

Detach your large inflatable water park and remove them one by one from the water, place the inflatable unit on a clean and flat surface, with a tarp or plastic sheet cover the ground to avoid mud. Then you can clean this air sealed inflatable water game like cleaning your inflatable water slide. Use soap, clean water, soft brush or cloth to wash your inflatable structure everywhere, use special cleaners to remove the dirt and other tough stains. Remember, never use high pressure cleaning equipment such as a pressure washer on your inflatables, it will damage the vinyl and pvc. When cleaning, you can also check if the surface has any damaged areas or leaks and mark the areas need repair with a grease pencil.

Then you can check all the air valves to ensure they are clean and free of any debris or foreign objects. Rinse the entire inflatable with fresh water and allow to air dry completely before deflation. If you want to keep it a like-new appearance in next year, it's recommended to apply 303 Protectant before winter storage. The special 303 Protectant will repel soiling and staining of the vinyl and keep it supple. Apply it to all surface of your inflatable water park and allow to air dry completely.

2. Repair and Patching

In the last step, you may find some small leaks or punctures on your inflatable equipment, then you need to patch them immediately. Refer to our professional repair guideline and use the attached repair kit to repair yourself. It's very simple for this part. Then you need to inspect all surfaces, fasteners, valves and other parts for damage or normal wear and tear. If they are damaged, you need to buy spare parts to replace them before you store to ensure availability for next season. This part may be a little complicated, if you can't do it yourself, hire a professional staff or contact manufacturer for help. End of the season is the best time for inflatable floating water park to do any repairs and upgrades.

3. Store Properly

After clean and air dry, deflate all your inflatable water games one by one, use an electric pump or shop vacuum to ensure all air is removed from inside. Then fold your inflatable structure into a desired storage width and roll it up. Put it into a special storage bag and secure tightly with rope or straps. When moving the inflatable packages, never drag them over a rough surface, it will create holes and leaks. You can carry them with a hand truck. Then you can choose a clean and safe place as your inflatables warehouse. This place must be clean, dry, out of direct sunlight, you can put some moth balls around to prevent rodent damage. Check this place from time to time to avoid humidity and temperature changes. The floor can not be damp and temperatures can not below 5 degrees Celsius.
