Waterslide Maintenance

Although a large percentage of Fischer Bros. work results from a lack of proper upkeep, we feel that the best investment is on preventative maintenance, a little at a time. Aquatic play features require regular upkeep just like any other large, expensive item, and it is usually less expensive to maintain than to refurbish.

Most slides only require maintenance every other year. However, slides that experience higher use or are located indoors usually can benefit from annual or even semiannual maintenance visits.

Maintenance contracts are customized to the specific needs of each client.

A typical maintenance contract includes the following:

• Repair of any chips, scratches, or other blemishes on interior slide surface.

• Complete wetsanding and highspeed buffing of interior slide surface to eliminate mineral buildup, scratches, and fading gelcoat. Usually this restores slide to a like-new condition and appearance.

• Pressure washing of exterior of slide and support structure.

• Inspection and necessary tightening of all slide and support structure hardware.

• Minor repairs to decking- replacement of corroded decking fasteners.

• Waxing as needed on slide interior

• A typed Slide Condition Report for your records, which will include any recommended work for later visits, and recommendations for operational changes.

Slide maintenance is equally effective when completed in the fall as in the spring. In fact, a recently maintained slide will handle the inclement weather better than one that has just gone through an entire season without any work completed.
