New from SSP: Aquatrol

Aquatrol is a powerful agent that stops bacterial growth by disrupting the reproductive cycle of spores which develop into algal growth. It is a very safe, non-toxic alternative to sodium hypochlorite and other harsh chemicals. It is used where a duty of care to public health exists, where there is a risk of injury from slippery surfaces caused by biofilm, where a high level of sanitation is needed and where the surface suffers erosion from harsh cleaning chemicals

As Aquatrol is non-toxic, it is free from COSHH regulations and, because it removes both black and clear slime, it can help to reduce personal injury claims. The product is both easy to apply, cost effective and it eliminates the need for major cleaning.In other words, Aquatrol is ideal for maintaining safety and water purity in and around water playgrounds.

Teenage Water Activity

Recognising the desire to attract and entertain older children in an interactive water park setting, SSP will be introducing new products and layouts to meet that need. Roosevelt Tower and Flick Park are just two new concept designs that are designed to appeal to older children.

Roosevelt Tower Given the opportunity to ‘soak’ their peers from up high with the latest gravity foaming jets will always be a winner, bringing both height and competition into a water park. Roosevelt Tower can be supplied with a variety of bespoke features including Rain Curtains and Dump Jets.

Flick Park This is a deck-level target game, where energy and skill are combined in a race to score against free-standing targets, firing from Gravity Shooters. The trick is to beat your opponent’s score, otherwise you run the risk of being ‘dumped’ on by an imposing Step’N’Woosh’ that sits waiting for the gamer to slip up, resulting in a deluge of cold water for the loser! Two or Four game options available.
