You lose inches but not pounds because your body plumps the fat cells. It is a complicated biochemical process that your body replaces the fat molecules with water and fluids until you exceed your bodies predetermined fluid level. Then your body will release a chemical that releases all this stored water and you get sudden overnight loss of several pounds. Then the cycle starts over again with inches gone and the scales lag behind. This water replacement is temporary.

We highly recommend using an industrial inflator / deflator like the RAVE Hurricane Blower. With this blower, it only takes about 5 minutes to inflate the Water Whoosh tube. You can order this high volume inflator / deflator directly from RAVE Sports by calling 800-659-0790. Using the air output side of a shop vacuum is also an effective way of swiftly inflating the tube, since shop vacuums typically have high air flow rates.

Again, you can use the RAVE Sports Hurricane inflator / deflator or a shop vacuum, positioned in reverse, to swiftly deflate the tube. Another option is to lock the valve open on the tube and let the air naturally flow out of the large opening of the valve.

The tube will retain its brilliance for years because UV inhibitors are specially blended into the chemistry of our PVC materials. We also recommend using 303 Aerospace Protectant as a secondary topical agent (like sunscreen for your skin) to prevent fading and degradation. 303 also restores lost color and luster, making your product look like new. Periodic (monthly) application of 303 Protectant will provide the best results.

Most people leave their product in the water for the season. There are two things to consider: 1) your local regulations regarding anchoring and 2) if the area is consistently exposed to high winds. In those parts of the world where the water never freezes, the Whoosh can be left in all year. Specific anchoring recommendations are provided in the owner manual.

Sufficient anchoring methods will vary depending on your local conditions (ex. Water depth, type of water bottom, exposure to high winds or water current, etc.). Please consult with local authorities (ie. Dock and lift dealerships, marinas or your local water enforcement officials) to inquire about proven anchoring methods or anchoring restrictions in your area. For day use anchoring, a RAVE Sports sand anchor bag works well ( call 800-659-0790 for more information).

Yes, Locate the leak or puncture in the 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 inch 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 approximately 2 minutes until it becomes tacky.

It's an unstable vortex generated by the formation of a wormhole between two Stargates. The "whoosh" is seen whenever a wormhole is established (unless the iris is closed over the gate -- see below), and disintegrates anything in its path. The wormhole is not stable until the vortex retreats.

Yes, it can be used in the ocean and other salt water bodies as there are almost no metal components on the product and they are all made of stainless steel to provide maximum resistance to corrosion.

We recommend only one person climbing and one person sliding at a time. This will prevent overcrowding and decrease any chance for collision of users. Supervised activity on the product is highly recommended. Do not allow anyone to jump or dive off the top of the slide. Although the Water Whoosh was originally designed to be used in a stand-alone application, it can be butted up next to most any jump platform product.

We recommend anchoring the product in at least 8 feet of water in an area at least 20 feet from any docks, boats or other obstructions. Use reasonable care to ensure that there is adequate clearance free of obstructions above, around and below the product. Do not allow the Whoosh to be used on land, in pools or on any other hard surface.
