Lazy rivers offer a unique and tranquil experience, characterized by a narrow body of water equipped with propulsion pumps that create a gentle, continuous current. This setup allows patrons to relax and drift along the water's surface, typically while lounging in inner tubes. The slow-moving water provides a serene environment, making lazy rivers a popular feature in water parks, resorts, and leisure centers.
The flow of a lazy river depends on specific hydraulic equipment designed to ensure smooth operation and water cleanliness. Key among these is the Lazy River Equipment Cabinets, which are essential for housing the propulsion systems that drive the water flow. These cabinets can be installed below-grade, meaning they are placed below the ground level and can blend into the landscape, often housed in green cabinets that camouflage with the surroundings.
Alternatively, above-grade cabinets are also used; these contain river thruster systems and have a smaller footprint, taking up less space.
Another critical component is the Collector Tanks. These tanks act as a reservoir for the lazy river, holding a larger volume of water than what is necessary for maintaining the flow rate. The significance of these tanks lies in their dual function: they not only supply water but also use pool filters to continuously clean and recirculate the water. This process is vital for ensuring that the water in the lazy river remains clean and safe for all users. Although the flow rate varies depending on the size of your lazy river, a general rule of thumb is that patrons should move along the river at 6 feet per second.
Together, these systems and their efficient management ensure that lazy rivers provide a delightful and secure way for patrons to unwind and enjoy their leisure time, floating along at their leisure amidst calming currents.
