VSP 2018 Construction Guidelines

31.2 Baby-Only Water Facility

31.2.1 Deck Material
Ensure that the decking material inside the facility is durable, nonabsorbent,
slip-resistant, nontoxic, and free of crevices and sharp surfaces. All deck edges,
including small changes in vertical elevation, must be beveled or rounded to
eliminate sharp edges. Joints between deck materials and components and any
other GAPS or crevices must have fillers (caulk, SEALANT, or other nontoxic
material) to provide a smooth and EASILY CLEANABLE surface. Fasteners
and other attachments or surfaces must not have sharp edges. If climbing
features are installed, provide impact attenuation surfaces in accordance with
ASTM F1292-04.

31.2.2 Limit Access
If located near other RECREATIONAL WATER FACILITIES, design the
facility to limit access to and from surrounding RECREATIONAL WATER
FACILITIES.

31.2.3 Deck Surface
Design and slope the deck surface of the BABY-ONLY WATER FACILITY to
ensure complete drainage and prevent pooling/ponding of water (zero depth).

31.2.4 Gravity Drains
Provide ADEQUATE GRAVITY DRAINS throughout the SPRAY PAD to
allow for complete drainage of SPRAY PAD. Suction drains are not permitted.

31.2.5 Filtration and Disinfection
Ensure that 100% of the GRAVITY DRAINS are directed to the BABY-ONLY
WATER FACILITY compensation or make-up tank for filtration and
DISINFECTION before return to the SPRAY PAD.

31.2.6 Divert Water to Waste
Provide a means to divert water from the SPRAY PAD to waste. If the water
from the pad is directed to the wastewater system, ensure there is an indirect
connection such as an AIR GAP or AIR-BREAK.

31.2.7 Prevent Water Runoff
Any spray features must be designed and constructed to prevent water run-off
from the surrounding deck from entering the BABY-ONLY WATER
FACILITY.

31.3 Safety Sign

31.3.1 Content
Install an easy-to-read permanent sign, with letters on the sign heading at least
25 millimeters (1 inch) high, at each entrance to the BABY-ONLY WATER
FACILITY feature. All other lettering must be at least 13 millimeters (1/2 inch)
