  02 — Shape & Structure

  Ring Shape, Structure & Color Variants

  The classic donut ring is the global standard for single-rider slides — stable, stackable and easy to retrieve. Beyond the ring, we tool hexagon, square, star and custom shapes for branding and themed zones.

  Structure Part	Function & Our Standard
  Main tube body	Seam-welded PVC air chamber, uniform thickness, smooth fused seam — no weak glue lines
  Reinforced handles (2 pcs)	Webbing handles anchored to the body, double-stitched & welded; rider holds on through the whole run
  Screw air valve	One-way valve with cap, fast inflate / deflate, easy to check and replace
  Bottom contact surface	Thicker gauge option (1.0 mm) for slide chute & concrete contact
  Print layer	Fade-resistant ink, protected by clear PVC top coat — survives daily UV and chlorinated water
  Inner netting / seat	Optional cross webbing or mesh bottom for wave-pool use

  03 — Material

  Pure PVC — Built for Daily Commercial Use

  The tube lives a hard life: UV, chlorine, sunscreen, dragging across chutes and being stacked by the hundreds. Material choice decides how long it lasts.

  1

  Pure PVC, No Recycled Fill

  30 gauge (0.75 mm) for wave pools and mild slides; 40 gauge (1.0 mm) for high-friction chutes and heavy daily rotation.

  2

  Welded Seams, Not Glued

  High-frequency welding fuses the material into one piece — stronger than adhesive seams and far less likely to split under load.

  3

  UV & Chlorine Resistant

  Additive-stabilized formulation holds color and flexibility under outdoor sun and treated pool water.

  4

  Reinforced Handles

  Two webbing handles, double-stitched and welded to the body — the first thing riders grab, so they are built like tow points.

  5

  Safe & Compliant

  Non-toxic PVC; EN 71 / ASTM F963 / CPSIA documentation available on request.

  6

  Easy Care & Repair

  Rinse, air-dry, deflate for storage. Each order ships with a repair patch kit for field fixes.

  04 — Features & Advantages

  Why Parks Keep Reordering the Same Tube

  A tube looks simple, but it is the single highest-turnover item in a water park. Cheap tubes leak, fade and snap handles — then riders wait, staff scramble and revenue drops.

  
  

  

  Our Single Tube

  • Pure PVC in 0.75 mm / 1.0 mm — thickness you can feel
  • Uniform welding, no glue-line weak points
  • 2 reinforced handles, double-stitched and welded
  • Fade-resistant custom print, clear-coat protected
  • Custom color, size, shape, logo & packaging
  • Repair patch kit included with every order
  • Factory direct, 20+ years water-park focus

  Generic / Cheap Alternative

  • Recycled or mixed PVC, uneven wall thickness
  • Glued seams that split under load
  • Handles sewn on — tear off after a few weeks
  • Print rubs off, colors fade in one season
  • No customization, generic colors only
  • No spare parts or repair support
  • Long lead time, middleman markup
  05 — Applications

  One Tube Fits the Whole Park

  The same single tube runs on almost every attraction in a park. That means one SKU, one spare-part kit and one storage system — a big operational advantage for the operator.

  S

  Water Slide

  Single-rider body slide, bowl slide and enclosed tube slide. 48" is the most common size.

  R

  Rafting River

  Drift channels and rapids. Hexagon or square shapes link into small group rafts.

  W

  Wave Pool

  Floats for wave-pool surfing and lazy drifting. Mesh-bottom option available.

  L

  Lazy River

  Continuous slow circuit. Tubes are easy for staff to collect and re-rack.

  P

  Pool & Splash Pad

  Resort pools, hotel pools and kids' splash zones. Transparent colors are a hit with children.

  E

  Events & Rentals

  Summer festivals, beach clubs, inflatable rental companies — branded tubes work as a walking ad.
