Question 1

Can you explain your free overnight rentals?

Accepted Answer

What is free overnight?

We understand that sometimes the party lasts longer than planned, so we offer a Free Overnight Rental option for added flexibility. Instead of the standard 6-hour rental block, renters can keep the inflatable for the entire day, allowing guests more time to enjoy the fun. The team will return the following day to retrieve the equipment.

Important Details:

Inflatable Preparation: We require that the inflatable be set up and fully inflated when the team arrives for pickup. This will help shed any water and allow the unit to drain properly before the team reclaims it. We will also do a quick inspection to ensure no damage has occurred. A more thorough inspection will be conducted back at our facility.

Pickup Time: The Free Overnight Rental is NOT a 24-hour rental. The rental items will still be available for other customers the following day, so the team may arrive as early as 7:00 AM to collect them. If an extension cord had to be run through a window or door, please be sure to unplug and leave outside. Please leave all gated in areas unlocked, we will be sure to close the fence gates when we leave.

Your inflatable will be picked up the following day. There is no additional cost to you. You must unplug the blower motor overnight. You do not have to wait for us on pick-up day unless the inflatable is in a locked gated area.

Question 7

What do I need to know about renting a dunk-tank?

Accepted Answer

Our 500 gallon dunk tank will need an active water supply hose brought to the location of where the dunk tank will be set up. With average water pressure the dunk tank will take 30-60 minutes to fill up. The garden hose must remain in place during the duration of the rental. As participants splash in and exit the tank, water will be lost and that needs to be replaced. This is a safety issue as there must be enough water for the participants to land in the dunk tank safely.

We will need at least a 63" wide opening if the dunk tank will be going into an enclosed area or a backyard.  Please double check any gates or narrow passage ways.

Please have the hose set up and a pathway cleared prior to our arrival.  Please leave balls inside the dunk tank when finished.

We provide 3 throwing balls which must be returned.

You may also use standard softballs. Please do NOT use any hard baseball as it will damage the dunk tank.

The customer will be held responsible for any damage or if the 3 throwing balls are not returned.

Question 8

How much will it cost to fill the dunk tank and how long will it take?

Accepted Answer

Our local water company charges $6.27 per 1,000 gallons of water used. Since our dunk tank is 500 gallons, you are looking at a little over $3.00 to fill the entire tank. This may vary slightly depending upon your specific water company.

It takes 30-60 minutes to fill the dunk tank depending upon your water pressure.

*Please be mindful if you are using your local fire department to fill the tank. We have noticed in most cases the water always has a brown/rust tint to it.

Question 9

What do I need to know about renting your water slide?

Accepted Answer

First and foremost you will need a flat area of at least 50'x25'.

You will also need to supply a garden hose that will reach the unit. Please be aware the water will remain on at a very slight trickle throughout the use of the water slide. Please ensure you have a dedicated 20 amp electrical socket.

If you plug in another item on that line, it may cause the breaker to trip thus allowing the water slide to deflate causing the water to leave the pool rapidly. You will then have to wait to use the water slide until you can refill the pool. (This will take about 30 minutes to 1 hour)

*Party Authority LLC" will not be responsible for lost time if this occurs. We will only leave your event location once we see the water slide is fully inflated and you are not having power issues. You may then begin to fill the pool at anytime after that.

Please have the garden hose already in place prior to our arrival.

Party Authority will not be held responsible for any damage done to the lawn. Please be aware that these water slides may cause some damage to your lawn due to the amount of water being used and foot traffic.

Question 15

Are there any safety guidelines I need to follow while using inflatables?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it's crucial to adhere to safety guidelines to ensure the well-being of all participants.

Some common safety practices include limiting the number of users according to our recommendations, ensuring proper adult supervision, enforcing rules against rough play and flips, and avoiding the use of inflatables during adverse weather conditions.

No jumping down the slides or going headfirst. No flipping inside of the inflatables.

All inflatables should be unplugged during storms, lightening, heavy rains, and especially strong and gusty winds. Once these adverse conditions are over, normal operation may resume.

DO NOT "wet down" any dry inflatable.

It is required you towel dry the inflatable after a rain storm as they will be slippery when wet.

ADULT SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES!

Question 16

Can adults use inflatables too?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is NO.

But, as a general rule, adults can accompany young children while inside the inflatable but they are not to be jumping or bouncing inside as a child would be.

The customer will be held responsible for any damage that occurs if an adult is using the inflatable. They are not designed to support that amount of weight and can cause the seams to tear along with other types of damage.

Question 24

What should I do if it starts to rain during my event.

Accepted Answer

If you decided to go ahead with your rental and it rains during the day you may do the following. Please turn off the unit and allow it to deflate on its own.
