Hey Team, want to clear up a few questions that I have seen in the comments. 1. For liability reasons, I will never show startup procedures of the equipment. That is to protect my company and myself. If you figure out how to operate the equipment by using google, then good on you. My conscious is clear. 2. The 3rd blower is a backup, and operationally we stopped using 3 blowers as it caused an upswing in rescues in wave pool. A rescue in wave requires the waves to be shutdown. 3. The park I work at is Typhoon Texas in Katy, Texas. 4. Since we are pushing to open the park, I am unable to answer comments right now. I will do my best over the weekend. Thank you all for the support.

now we have seen filling the pool you need to show the draining of the pool. and prehaps how the water gets dumped. i take it the sewage company dont like it if you dump such a huge amount of water in a couple hours in the system.

@quinn38 3 года назад

I feel like the fill tank is a safety risk with no ladder inside if a employee happens too fall inside there would be no way for them too get out and could possibly be sucked under due too the high pressure pumps i would be getting that addressed as too prevent an accident down the track but all in all loving your videos man keep it up

Out of curiosity - is their any thing that you can show us how its operated ? would be pretty cool! if not i totally understand. What happened to your number 2 air blower for the wave pool? is it just redundant or just down for maintenance? I think you mentioned in the past that the wave pool has different wave patterns, maybe one day you can show us what they all look like?.

Seeing all that water in the wave chamber, I'd recommend three things: 1) Dry everything up 2) Cover every inch of that concrete with an industrial-grade waterproof coating (this should make it less stinky down there, and prevent mould growth) 3) Put down lots of industrial-grade anti-slip rubber matting (this should also help to reduce noise reverberations, slips, and echo.)

All that humidity is no bueno for electronics, especially servers that are just sitting in a room where just outside the floors are flooded and the humidity is like a sauna.

4:05 - If those ASCO solenoids have 120 V 60 Hz coils, you are lucky if it didn't burn out when the coil dropped off of the core / pilot valve. Without the core, they go thermonuclear in open air. Strange setup they use with the sliding nameplate and locking cap to hold the coil on!

Doesn’t it depend how long? They shouldn’t burn up right away, and I doubt the filling would leave it on for too long. Correct me if I’m wrong though.

@@thepoolguy really the filter controls it? Why is it done that way? Is it to ensure that the systems are all on? Also, why should you not run your filters while the wave generator is running?

@travpark8163 3 года назад

@@SanitizeR_OW My guess would be as a safety start; because like with any motor, if you have a clogged filter it could burst with the amount of pressure its under, and if its not connected or theres an air leak on that side, then it could rupture a pipe, and destroy a lot of equipment at the pressure... Just a guess, as thats why I would set it up like that. Not showing the control panel would be more or less, safe then sorry, as a lot of companies get really nit picky on their IP of gear, even more so with the "right to repair" bill; and it just prevents them from pointing the finger @ThePoolGuy if someone way to copy the settings, and how the program works. (all do the same, just in their own way) Like sure, we can all get the manual online, and the handbook in setting it up, but then its better to get that information from the company themselves, just in-case... Prime example is the lights of the Eiffel Tower, a lot of places cant make money of taking photos of the Eiffel Tower at night time, due to the copy-right laws on the lights set-up, or layout; and because the light setup was done in 1985; you have to wait till the year 2055 to take night photos; but you can during the day, as that copy-right law expired in 1993 of the building it-self.

Reminds me of a time they were demoing the wave machine at a new pool with some hoyty toyty officials standing at the shallow end of the pool but in between was a small river to the bubble pool and it was too separated with a lowish wall. It was turned on was all going well showing small waves etc then they decided to see what it could do... The waves cleared wall, over the river soaking the officials head to toe right to the skin.

@ChadAmI80 3 года назад

Never ceases to amaze me the engineering that goes into things. While basic physics, that is still impressive to see that amount of water being moved to create waves. The wave pump room sounds like the network operations center in a datacenter with a few thousand servers all revving up their fans to full capacity under load. Is this a pretty standard setup for a wave pool?

This is fascinating! I didn't know the wave pistons used air in the process, I thought it was entirely pistons moving the water back and forth.

@FerretyWeasel 3 года назад

He explains it in another video, but there's actually no pistons at all! The air fills closed chambers on the other side of the far wall in the wave pool, the air pressure pushes the water down in the chamber and out the bottom grates underwater. Only moving parts are the blower motors and those valves which let air in and out of the chambers. Pretty neat.

Looking impresive, the only thing I'm quite suprised of is how lack of control and corosion prevention has been implemented, wenting water dropplets on the motor chamber, standing on pool of water while operating VFD's and such. Obviously personal safety (reducing risk of electrical injury in case of failure) and then equipment life expectancy in that place it not a key element, I only say from my experiences working on utility sewage and water tretment plants.
