AguaSpheres Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AguaSphere?
An AguaSphere is a giant 2 metre inflatable ball that allows you to walk on water! AguaSphereing is running, rolling and spinning around inside a giant inflatable sphere - on top of the water.
Will I get wet?
No! That's the really great thing about AguaSphereing - you can get inside the sphere, walk on the water and get out again - all without getting wet. This means participants don't have to bring a change of clothes to the party in order to enjoy AguaSphereing.
How long can I stay inside an AguaSphere?
There is sufficient air inside an AguaSphere to last approximately 40 minutes to an hour. However, the energy required to take part in AguaSphereing ensures that 5 minutes at a time is more than enough. Children and adults will try again and again to improve their skills and after a short rest are eager to have another go!
How old do I have to be to use an AguaSphere?
Kids of all ages from 4 to 94 can enjoy the experience of AguaSphereing. However, we recommend that not more than 90kg weight is put into the sphere at one time.
How do I get into an AguaSphere?
You climb inside the sphere via a large zip on one side. You then stand upright whilst a soft tube attached to a blower is placed through a gap in the zip. The air blown into the sphere is cool and gentle. Once the sphere is fully inflated the zip is closed tight and the sphere is ready for the water.
How does the AguaSphere get into the water?
Once the Sphere is fully inflated AguaSphere staff will ask you to walk towards the water inside the sphere. Staff will guide the sphere to the edge of the pool where you will sit down and push yourself onto the water. Staff also push the sphere out onto the water ensuring that you do not come into contact with the poolside.
How do I get out of the AguaSphere?
When its time to get out of the sphere, AguaSphere staff will gently pull the sphere towards the side of the pool. You then simply kneel on the side of the pool, stand up and walk the sphere to a safe area where staff will open the waterproof zip allowing the air to escape and you simply step out of the sphere.
Are use of the AguaSpheres supervised?
Yes! AguaSphere staff supervise the use of the spheres during use at your party. To ensure that no sphere is able to drift into the centre of the pool, all spheres are tied by a rope to the side of the pool. This means that if you get too tired to return to the side of the pool, AguaSphere staff are able to gently pull you in.
Could the AguaSphere burst?
No , The sphere is made of heavy duty TPU polyurethane plastic and is not inflated using high pressure air. A gentle stream of cool air inflates the sphere until the you are able to stand upright inside and the AguaSphere is fully inflated around you.
What happens if the AguaSphere gets a puncture?
In the unlikely event of a puncture occurring, the AguaSphere will deflate slowly in much the same way a bicycle tyre would. There is no sudden rush of air outwards and the Sphere will not suddenly deflate. The AguaSphere can stay afloat for a long time posing no danger to the participant.
Can the AguaSphere sink?
Remember that you can lie on top of an inflatable airbed in a pool without sinking. An AguaSpheres contains about 10 times the volume of air of an airbed, and therefore there is no risk of sinking.
