Water Park Water Slide Restart from Winterization

[@HJCF0520]

I always appreciate your videos, they are never boring! Thank you for taking the time to make them and educate us! You have filled such a niche interest of many. Thank you for the content!

[@thepoolguy]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@litz13]

I can only imagine the havoc a water hammer would do on this size a system, definitely want that air purged!

[@thepoolguy]

it sounds like a bomb going off! It is scary, and then all that water rushing back to the surge tank over fills it and dumps into the pump house. Its a site to behold, but scary as hell

[@litz13]

@@thepoolguy Yikes!

[@MFCSTUDIOS]

@@thepoolguy As bad as it sounds, it whould be something to see on video

[@TheWittyGeek]

I'm not a big fan of water parks but dang is there a lot of interesting stuff that goes into them.

[@valtteripennanen4043]

thanks for showing us what this kind of work includes. Also, quite interesting to watch as well

[@snowballinflatableandgaming]

i just like to see a person enjoying his work (o and pools are cool)

[@MrHimynameisdanny]

just finished the slide time lapse, and it’s insane how quick the water gets filtered and cleaned.

[@AlphaGametauri]

I like how everything in the machine room of the slides looks so clean and fresh, like the pumps and piping were put in only last year. If you saw our stuff at WnW Emerald Pointe, you'd wonder "How is this ride still running?" How do you do it? More money?

[@JackieBright]

Maybe its related to SCP-242

[@AlphaGametauri]

@@JackieBright I am quitting on the spot if that's the case And for the love of God, stop yelling around new people that scp682 broke containment

[@o5-698]

@@JackieBright Goddamnit, Bright. How many times do we have to tell you to STOP TELLING NEW HIRES THAT 963 IS A JOY BUZZER! We lost three Junior Researchers and one member of maintenance staff just this week because of your childish "pranks."

[@thepoolguy]

Okay, 1st thing. We wash down the pump houses with a degreaser on a monthly basis. 2nd, what is this SCP 242 yall are discussing?

[@AlphaGametauri]

@@thepoolguy We've never done that that i know of, clenching them pennies i guess And it's a pool from the SCP universe, long story

[@DoRC]

Take a look at knipex pliers wrenches. I put off buying them for years and I regret doing it. I am a mechanic and I literally use them everyday.

[@benfarnum6905]

Thank you sir love the videos like always I really need go visit y'all this year and see the park just always grew up at splash town so always use to going there but I really need come check it out you really make me want look into getting back into that water park industry and wanting to work that as a career in the future again I honestly thought wouldn't be possible but you make it clear it is

[@thepoolguy]

Well, I'm committed now, calling myself a poolguy.... 😉 glad you enjoy the channel

[@Masterkill45588]

Its always so interesting to see how this stuff works

[@techboy1244]

My favourite part was when you turned all the VFDS on that was so satyfying!

[@jumpelytra2901]

these videos are so interesting, thanks for making them!

[@Laurie24]

Trying not to act like a fan girl here. LOVE your videos! I’ve been waiting and looking everyday for new content from you. Might have to make a trip just to come play in your water park!

[@georgieippolito9924]

Send some hotwheels cars down the dry slides with go pros on them. there some videos of it and it's super satisfying!!! they drive as if someone is driving the cars! and most make it all the way down. i I need more videos of that

[@beverleyhicks2952]

Awesome as always. Would love to see the repair of the green slide.

[@stiefel1337]

Hello, may i request something for an upcomping video? I would like to see how the water in the tank behaves when you start the pumps for the slides. So a camera shot where you can see how the water is still at the beginning and the water starts to move when you start the pumps. Can also be from one of the other tanks. PS: I love your videos and you really help me overcome my fear of pumps, water inlets and outlets.

[@Roadburner4]

Sweet my favorite channel is back!

[@user-hv1hu3jh1s]

When you open one song should be the YMCA or the national anthom

[@thepoolguy]

How about cha cha slide?

[@Glisern]

The second you start going "Is it this one?" All I'm thinking is get a laminator and/or a label maker and label the pipes at eye height.

[@thepoolguy]

We usually do, but must have came off when we pressure washed the room this winter.

[@eyeclammedu]

great video!! thx!!

[@alexjustice8682]

Can u show us at the top of the water slide starting up

[@sybergoosejr]

What happened that the pink slide had to be shut back off?

[@james94582]

Was curious about the same thing

[@moneybankgray]

Almost time!

[@FocusFanatic]

Cool!

[@avg2000]

Wait what did u call that calcium bleed they the concrete ??? I always wondered what that was

[@theministryofthemeparks1685]

why is the pink slide off at the end with the rest on??

[@ctrlaltdelj9082]

oi waterpark contains a lot of water.

[@thepoolguy]

Yes, yes it does

[@cbart1987]

me thinks the pink slide stopped working

[@NUTTER8291]

Cool !!

[@Pizzalover555]

weird question but what is this job called?

[@thepoolguy]

Facilities directoe

[@matthewtuel2747]

The calcium on the concrete is actually EFFLORESCENCE not “Effervescent”. Pepcid-AC tablet is an effervescent lol.

[@thepoolguy]

Oof, yeah you're right. Thank for clearing that up.

[@JacobEvans2]

Can’t believe it has been a year since watching this last year

[@brycelovell6984]

For real 😵

[@ericnewton5720]

Why did the pink one come on, flowing water and then go off?

[@NexusX5]

Why is the pink slide working near the end?

[@richyjames1378]

Are they new slides?

[@thepoolguy]

Negative, that projects on hold for the moment.

[@SOU6900]

So this may be something you've mentioned before, but do the pumps get shut down at night when the park is operating for the year?

[@james94582]

This is something I've thought about any time I've gone to a water park...

[@MCP647]

How long is it from when you start filling attractions to opening day?

[@thepoolguy]

I like to have pool filled 2 weeks prior to our inspections. I don't really care about when we open. Once pools have water, we keep them up to standard anyway.

[@jssteve119]

Question why do the motors get stuck and don’t want to spin ?

[@khx73]

He explains it at 13:15

[@MattTrevett]

The pumps corrode just a little bit, it's unlikely that the motors are the cause here. A normally running pump will wear corrosion off due to friction. A pump left all winter will just grow corrosion and get sticky. There are ways to prevent it and ways to correct it. Using a higher start frequency would probably not work because of excessive slip. The best bet is to weld a nut to the outboard end of the motor and use a breaker bar to free it up prior to even trying to start.

[@demonknight7965]

Pink doesn't look like it was putting out any water
