| How long does it take to
set up the Aqua Jump? |
It takes one to two hours to set up the Aqua Jump for
the first time, quicker if there are several people to
help or if you have done it before. |
| How do you inflate the
Aqua Jump tube? |
With an industrial strength inflator, it only takes
about 10 to 20 minutes to inflate the Aqua Jump tube,
depending on the tube size. You can also use a shop
vacuum or low-pressure air compressor, but it will take
twice as long. |
| How do you deflate the
Aqua Jump tube? |
Again, you can use an industrial inflator or a shop
vacuum, positioned in reverse, to deflate the tube. |
| What is the tube made of? |
The tube material is the same high-grade material
used in ocean-going inflatables and Zodiak boats. It's
28oz., 1000 Denier, UV-treated PVC vinyl. All seams are
heat-welded for maximum strength and doubled at key
stress points. |
| Can the Aqua Jump be used
in salt water? |
Yes, the Aqua Jump can be used in the ocean and other
salt water bodies. In addition to the UV-treated
material, the Aqua Jump's springs, V-rings and tramp
frame are made from heavy-duty galvanized steel. Because
of the salt water environment, these metal components may
need replaced more frequently. |
| Will the Aqua Jump fade in
the sun? |
The tube will retain retain its brilliance for years
because the material is UV-treated. |
| Can the Aqua Jump be left
out in the water? |
Most people leave the Aqua Jump in the water for the
season. There are two things to consider: 1)your local
regulations for anchoring and 2) if the areas is
consistently exposed to high winds. |
| How deep does the water
have to be to use the Aqua Jump? |
You should anchor your Aqua Jump in at least 10 feet
of water in an area at least 30 feet from any docks,
boats or other obstructions. |
| How do you anchor the Aqua
Jump? |
It depends on the water, the water bottom, exposure
to high winds, and strength of the currents. There is an
anchoring harness in the center of the tube that includes
a stainless steel )-ring. You can attach an anchor to
this ring, or create an anchoring mechanism of your own.
A land screw is probably the most effective anchoring
system in active water ways. |
| How do you transport the
Aqua Jump on the land
and water?
|
You should enlist two or three people to help you
lift and carry the smaller Aqua Jumps from land to water,
and four to five people for the large Aqua Jump. RAVE
doesn't recommend towing the Aqua Jump on the water,
although it can be transported at very low speeds. |
| Can the Aqua Jump be used
as a land trampoline? |
The Aqua Jump was not designed for use on land. Like
any inflatable product, the Aqua Jump tube should not be
exposed rough edges or sharp objects like rocks and
sticks. |
| How high can you bounce on
the Aqua Jump? |
The bounce height depends on the tube inflation and
weight of the bouncer. It won't perform exactly like a
land trampoline because the water absorbs some of the
bounce. The trampoline surface is designed so you won't
hit the water below, even with really big bounces. Some
water may splash up, however, from the wave action caused
by the tube. |
| Can you bounce higher on
the bigger Aqua Jumps? |
The size of the Aqua Jump is not related to the
bounce height. |
| Do you need a permit for
the Aqua Jump? |
You should check with your local authorities or DNR
to determine permit requirements. |
| How do you repair the Aqua
Jump? |
You can locate a leak in an inflatable product by
spraying the tube with soapy water. When you find the
leak and determine the hole size, use a patch from the
repair kit and cut a swatch 1/2 inches wider than the
hole. Deflate the product and clean the area around the
hole with rubbing alcohol. Apply glue from the repair kit
to the patch and the area around the hole. Let the glue
dry until it becomes tacky. Stick the glued parts to each
other and rub them together using a hard, flat, smooth
surface. Let the patch dry for at least 24 hours before
inflating. For bigger holes and tears, follow the same
procedure but put a patch on the inside as well as the
outside. |
| What is the warranty on
the Aqua Jump? |
RAVE offers a one-year warranty for defects in
material and workmanship. If the product is being used
commercially, like at a camp or resort, there is a 60-day
warranty. |
| How do you maintain and
store the Aqua Jump? |
To store the Aqua Jump, you should first clean the
entire inflatable. After the tube dries, you can deflate
the tube using the an inflator or a shop vacuum. Roll the
tube loosely and place it in a container. (A large
plastic garbage can works well to store the tube and keep
safe from mice). Some people keep the trampoline frame
intact and lean it against a wall instead of taking all
the pieces apart. |
| How is the Aqua Jump
different from other trampolines? |
The Aqua Jump is the original water trampoline,
manufactured by RAVE Sports. The Aqua Jump was designed
for wear-and-tear for use by camps and resorts and has:
•
great accessories like the Aqua Launch and Aqua Log to
enhance the fun.
• heat-welded seams, which stay firmly
sealed even in the hottest sun.
• a Halkey-Roberts valve that allows you to
easily inflate the tube. Its commercial-grade valve that
has a rotating open/close stem that's easy to use. One
really convenient feature of the Aqua Jump is that the
valve is located on the tube above the water line, in
case the need to adjust the air while the tube is in the
water.
• a stainless steel marine ladder shaped to the
tube contour.
• an extra-wide spring pad cover to protect the
user from the frame and the springs.
• multiple bar holder straps to stabilize
the jump surface, as well as frame sleeves to cover the
frame connection joints.
• a three-point interior anchoring system that
protects jumpers from all anchor lines
• bar handle patches that are box-stitched
for added durability.
|
| With one air chamber, will
the Aqua Jump sink if it gets a hole? |
The Aqua Jump will not sink if the tube is punctured.
Enough air accumulates in the tube to keep the Aqua Jump
components afloat. |
