RAVE Sports® Aqua Jump™ Water Inflatable Trampoline Information

How long does it take to set up the Aqua Jump™?

It takes one to two hours to set up the Aqua Jump™ for the first time, quicker if there are several people to help or if you’ve done it before. This time can also be reduced significantly if the trampoline surface is left assembled during storage and only the tube needs to be inflated for subsequent set ups. On our spring-less (BONgo™ and O-Zone™) products, setup time is only a couple minutes. Without springs or bars, the BONgo™ and the O-Zone™ Swim Platforms simply require inflating the tube.

How do you inflate the Aqua Jump™ tube?

We highly recommend using an industrial inflator / deflator like the RAVE Hurricane Blower Air Pump. With this blower, it only takes about 10 to 20 minutes to inflate the Aqua Jump™ tube, depending on the tube size. You can order this high volume inflator / deflator directly from Zearth.com by calling 800-303-7574. 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.

Can I use an Air Compressor to inflate the tube?

We do not recommend the use of an air compressor as over inflation can damage the tube. RAVE’s commercial grade products are fully inflated with only 1-2 PSI of air pressure. The high pressure output of most air compressors can easily cause over inflation if not monitored properly during the inflation process. If a compressor is used, be sure not to exceed 2 PSI within the tube.

How do you deflate the Aqua Jump™ tube?

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.

What is the tube made of?

The tube material is the same high-grade material used in many ocean-going inflatables and inflatable military boats. It’s a 1000 Denier Polyester with 22 oz. UV treated PVC. All seams are heat-welded for maximum strength and doubled at key stress points. We don not use natural rubber or natural rubber latex in any of our products. Therefore, people with allergic reactions to latex should not have any problems using our products.

Can the Aqua Jump™ be used in salt water?

Yes, the Aqua Jump™ can be used in the ocean and other salt water locations. In addition to the UV-treated material, the Aqua Jump’s springs, V-rings and tramp frame are made from heavy gauge, hot dipped galvanized steel. Because of the salt-water environment, springs may need to be replaced more frequently. Stainless steel components are also used where practical.

Will the Aqua Jump™ fade in the sun?

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 Aqua Jump™ vinyl look like new. Periodic (monthly) application of 303 protectant will provide the best results.

Can the Aqua Jump™ be left out in the water?

Most people leave their Aqua Jump™ 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 Aqua Jump™ can be left in all year.

How deep does the water need to be to use the Aqua Jump™?

You should anchor your Aqua Jump™ in at least 10 feet of water in an area at least 30 feet from any docks, boats or other obstructions.

How do you anchor the Aqua Jump™?

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 understand proven anchoring methods or anchoring restrictions in your area. A heavy duty harness is included with your Aqua Jump. The anchoring method you select should attach to the swivel ring on this harness.

Tips for Anchoring:

We recommend using a shock cord as a part of the anchor line to help absorb vertical movements of the Aqua Jump™ due to waves and normal use. An Anchor Connecting System is available directly from RAVE Sports® which includes this shock cord. Call 800-659-0790 for more information Choose a location most protected from wind and water currents. A minimum of 60 lbs. of anchor weight is recommended for most applications. However, Aqua Jumps™ on larger bodies of water may require more. Bell anchors are not recommended since they are easily dragged, especially on firm bottoms. Multiple foundation blocks are commonly used on soft bottoms. Screw-type or more permanent toggle-style anchors are typically used in more extreme conditions. Recommendations for anchor line length can be found in your owner manual.

How do you transport the Aqua Jump™ on the land and water?

You should enlist two or three people to help you lift and carry the smaller Aqua Jumps™ from land to water, and four to five people for the largest Aqua Jump™. DO NOT DRAG. RAVE Sports® doesn’t recommend towing the Aqua Jump on the water, although it can be transported at very low speeds.

Can the Aqua Jump™ be used as a land trampoline?

The Aqua Jump™ was not designed for use on land. Like any inflatable product, the Aqua Jump™ tube should not be exposed to rough edges or sharp objects like rocks and sticks.

How high can you bounce on the Aqua Jump™?

The bounce height depends on the firmness of tube inflation and weight and strength of the bouncer. It won’t perform exactly like a land trampoline because the water and inflated tube absorb some of the bounce. The trampoline surface is designed so you won’t hit the water below, even with really big bounces. Some water may splash up, however, from the wave action caused by the tube.

Can you bounce higher on the bigger Aqua Jumps™?

The size of the Aqua Jump™ is not related to the bounce height.

Do you need a permit for the Aqua Jump™?

Most areas do not require any special permits, however, you should check with your local authorities or DNR to determine permit requirements in your area.

How do you repair the Aqua Jump™?

You can locate a leak in an inflated 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. Stick the glued parts to each other and rub them together using a hard, smooth, flat surface. Let the patch dry for at least 24 hours before inflating. For bigger holes and tears, follow the same procedure but put a patch on the inside as well as the outside.

What is the warranty on the Aqua Jump™?

The Aqua Jump™ is covered by a new Limited Lifetime Warranty!, while the light weight Asian produced products like consumer towables and o-zones remain with the one year warranty.

How do you maintain and store the Aqua Jump™?

To store the Aqua Jump™, you should first clean the entire inflatable with soap and water or other mild cleansers. Do not use petroleum based or vegetable oil based cleaners. After the tube dries, deflate the tube. Roll the tube loosely and place in a vented container. (A large plastic storage container (Rubbermaid or a similar brand) works well to store the tube and keep safe from rodents). Some people prefer to keep the trampoline frame intact and lean it against a wall instead of taking all the pieces apart.

How is the Aqua Jump™ different from other water trampolines?

The Aqua Jump™ is the original water trampoline, manufactured by RAVE Sports. We are experienced leaders in this industry and the quality of the product shows it. The Aqua Jump™ is designed for the rugged wear-and-tear use exhibited by camps and resorts and has great accessories like:
  • the Aqua Launch,
  • Aqua Log and
  • Aqua Slide to enhance the fun.
  • All welded construction (No Glue!). Seams stay firmly sealed even in the hottest sun.
  • A Halkey-Roberts™ valve having a large orifice diameter that allows you to easily inflate your tube. It’s a commercial-grade valve that has a rotating open/close stem that’s easy to use. One really convenient feature of the Aqua Jump™ is that this valve is located on the tube above the water line, in case you need to adjust the air while the tube is in the water.
  • A stainless steel marine ladder shaped to the tube contour. an extra-wide and extra thick spring pad cover to protect the user from the frame and springs.
  • Multiple bar holder straps to stabilize the jump surface, as well as frame sleeves to cover the frame connection joints.
  • A multi-point interior anchoring system that protects jumpers from all anchor lines.

    With one chamber, will the Aqua Jump™ sink if it gets a hole?

    The Aqua Jump™ will not sink if the tube is punctured. Enough air accumulates in the tube to keep the Aqua Jump™ components afloat. A single air chamber also provides even distribution of the air around the full perimeter of the product, even if air pressure gets low.

    Does RAVE Sports® sell covers for the Aqua Jumps™?

    Yes. Covers are available for the Aqua Deck™, Aqua Jump 15™, Aqua Jump 20™, and Aqua Jump 25™ products. Visit our Water Inflatables Accessories Website link at the top of this page.

    What can I do to keep my product safe from muskrats, mice and other rodents?

    Rodents like muskrats may be attracted to the PVC vinyl of our product. When your tube is on the water, maintaining full air pressure during periods of non-use usually prevents them from being able to get a hold of the vinyl to chew on it. However, the best way to solve the problem of nuisance rodents is to remove the temptation by taking the product out of the water at night. Another option is to make the whole area unattractive to rodents by changing the environment, eliminating food sources along the shoreline and making the area less hospitable to their inhabitance.
