Many of the questions we're asked turn out to be the same questions. Please see if you can find your answer here but if not, feel free to email us at service@DirectInflatables.com

 

What's the difference between a water trampoline and a water bouncer?
A water trampoline has a jump surface supported by a steel frame and trampoline springs. A water bouncer has a jump surface supported by springless interlocking webbing connected from the flotation tube to the jump surface. A water trampoline can support heavier loads on the jump surface and will provide a higher jump than a water bouncer.

Water trampolines are recommended for commercial operations. Unlike water bouncers, water trampolines require assembly of the framed jump surface, which typically takes an extra 30 minutes of setup time. A water bouncer is a great family recreational product, and it costs less than a water trampoline. It will support a good amount of weight and will provide a short bounce. A water bouncer does not require any assembly other than inflating and anchoring. 

Click here to see a video illustrating the difference between the two.  In this case, it's between the Aqua Sports Classic 15' Water Trampoline on the left, and an Aqua Sports 12' Water Bouncer on the right.  Both are excellent products, and you can click here for the Classic 15' Trampoline page.  Click here for the Bounce'N'Splash 13' Water Bouncer page.

 

What about shipping?
Shipping is free within the continental U.S.. Please click here to go to our shipping page.

 

Can I get it faster than regular ground?
Yes you can, for an additional charge.  Email us at sales@DirectInflatables.com or call us at 1-800-651-0012, tell us where you are and what you want, and we can tell you what the faster service will cost you.  Bear in mind that if it has to go on a plane instead of a truck, the cost takes a big jump.

 

Can you ship to me outside the USA?
We can ship anything from the Aquaglide and Aqua Sports Island Hopper product lines outside the US.  (If you’re in Canada, we will be going live with our sister site www.DirectInflatables.ca by summertime, but in the meantime, please do this too...)

Send us an email at sales@DirectInflatables.com.  Tell us what product you’re interested in.  Tell us your shipping address, including postal code.  We’ll get a price and email you back.  We'll deduct the amount we would normally expect to spend on our 'Free Shipping in the USA' offer, so that will help with your cost.

 

What’s the best way to take care of this stuff?

There are two main bits of advice which will help your watersports inflatables live a longer life:  the first is never fold them up and put them away wet.  Let them dry completely.  If you trap moisture inside a folded-up item for months at a time, it can cause mold or mildew which will undermine the fabric.

The second advice has to do with protectant.  The longer your tube, raft or boat spends in the sun, the more chance there is for UV to work on it.  Using a good UV protectant like 303 really helps.  Here’s a link to a vendor:  ">http://www.nrsweb.com/shop/product.asp?pfid=1909

There’s other advice, like don’t try to make it do things it’s not designed to do, but we’re hoping these are more obvious.
