- Hey Team,
Today I decided to take some time and capture all the wave patterns that we have available on our system.

My guy sat thru like two hours of waves just to bring us some content.
I agree with you. He is dedicated. Heck, that was 4 hours. 30 minutes for each setting (10 for the waves + 20 for the cooldown).
Aways nice to hear that "Hellllloooooo Team!"
Nice to see you back!
I can't believe it's about time to drain everything, it feels like we just filled the lazy river a few days ago.
Absolutely love these vids my day gets so much better when i see you in my notifications
Righttt
Well we know his name is Jesse!
@@anthonykelley6999 nah, different guy
I have always wondered how everything at water parks work. I've only been to Water Works Park and Redding CA and Sunsplash in Roseville when I was a kid, but it's been driving me crazy trying to figure out exactly how everything works.
Thank you so much for your content.
Cool video showing the different patterns. Most swimming pools that I dealt with are not that flexible with wave patterns. Letchworth, Gt Yarmouth both had set wave patterns only by the manufacture or maintenance company. Cleethorpes can only be done by a maintenance person. Windsor and Swindon are only 2 that can adjust wave patterns.
Adventure landings only stays at one too
@@PalmPeakMarketing That is because it is set by the installing the machine and it's configuration.
Ok
Would they be able to change it on a control panel though?
@@PalmPeakMarketing the old systems can only be done by the company that installed it or by a qualified engineer. The newer can be set by the pool people.

Thanks for this! Very cool!
22 minute poolguy video?! And on my birthday too?! Yes please!
Happy birthday!
Always love a bit of Bob sounds better when the sun is shining
Those time limits.... Time to hack the PLC ;). lol Keep up the good work.
I think they done on purpose the timing, usually i doing the same for vac pumps to prevent overheating on the soft starters possible same story here.
I wonder if he were to punch in 05 instead of just 5 if he’d get results.
@@mattsnyder4754 if u watched closely, he had tried
Either the limit is store in the plc or hmi. The right software, a few tweaks and you can change what ever.
Just make sure parts don't exceed their duty cycles.
@@TheElderOne2003 If its me I just reprogram the plc that way to keep the blower's run when you in test mode and change the pattern's witouh stop blower's then you don't need this long timing. Other hand i think a "machine" like this should runing with Vfd-s not with soft starter's so you never have duty cycle problem's but that's not a cheap option for this size motor's so possible that's why soft starter's and limitation in the program.
I don't know why but I love this kind of stuff.
Glad you do, welcome to the team
A love the one where all the valves close at the same time ... then open at the same time so it creates one wall of water
Double diamonds looks really pretty! Though @18:12 i can see myselve sitting in one of those chairs dipping my toes in the waves! You do not have to be in the deep end of the pool all of the time:) you can enjoy sitting there and watching the waves come at you too :) very satisfying!
I’m very fascinated by how wave pools work.
I find this content so fascinating!! I love all of the insight that can be picked up through your commentary!
So glad you're ok! Life gets in the way sometimes, it's all good.
Daily ops just ended at my park, I feel your relief!
Both diamonds and parallels are standard at our park. Somebody messed around with the system when I went at the end of July because the wave pool was throwing random waves during a single cycle, we had everything you shown here. I bet our Facility Manager was steamed when he found out his wave pool was doing "crazy" mode. The pool had an older PLC that allowed manual time selection like what you wanted for the demo - probably a junior team member was trying write his own "script" and forgot to remove it after screwing around with it. Your PLC is manufacturer locked.
Too awesome! Thanks for showing us the different wave patterns. It was very nice meeting you last weekend during the ACE event. 😊
It was great to meet yall as well! Hope yall were able to get a bunch of ride credits over the past week.
@@thepoolguy Well besides getting all the slide credits at Typhoon Texas, we got at least 2 new coaster credits that weekend. We got to ride all but 1 coaster on our list. It was a crazy but fun adventure! Can't wait to start editing the footage for the vlog! 😁
Regarding the ESTOPs being a normally-closed circuit that will trip if a wire breaks, that's really a feature, not a downside -if a wire breaks, then you want the system to go into emergency shutdown for failsafe reasons. If it was a normally-open circuit, there would be a danger of a wire break not being detected, and the ESTOP would then not work when called for in an emergency.
When I hear those blowers, I feel like I’m at the car wash!
I've been binging alot of pool equipment, wave pool, wave simulation videos. Your channel in particular has stuck throughout this entire endeavor, which, to me, says something about your content. Subbed with notifications. Good speaking voice, quenching my curiosity in regards to the subject matter and just overall great content. 💯
Glad you like them!
went back and re watched this video! miss your videos sir!
More to come!
I’m surprised how calm everything looks W/O people. At my home water park, the waves are insane! You fall over on some of them
Im glad I found your channel, I have always wondered how a wavepool works
Diagonal left looks the most like natural sea waves and makes it look nice when you sit at the pool, but I guess diamond gives the most movement/joy when you are in the pool
Thank You for the video 👍🏼 Take your time to produce content. I prefer high quality content over high quantity content, and I think most of the team does. 😊
In Australia our E-stop systems use 2 sets of circuits, so if one shorts it can still rely on the other for a short period of time until you get the other one fixed, it can check the race condition too so if one circuit doesn't close within about 0.2 seconds of the other, then the system detects bad wiring or a faulty e-stop button.
You can still work with single circuit systems like the one in this video, it just requires you to test all the e-stop circuits before operation.
It's way more wiring but each estop having a signal back to the hmi is really helpful for the op as it then shows what estop is showing as triggered. Cuts down diag times as well but that's not really something that happens often
Back when i had a pool before i got rid of it, i would jump up and down in the middle a lot to make the water go out and in and meet in the middle for my own lil wave pool. The water would go up to around 6Ft or more every time the water came back to the middle. I had a hell of a time doing that with the fam, that and making small whirlpools (Round pool) by walking on the edge of the pool in circles for a while.. I KINDA miss having the pool, but i do not miss maintaining it lol.
Awesome. I always wanted to see all the patterns the wave pool made!
Love the videos! I appreciate the fact that you spent over 2 and a half hours filming waves haha
Curious if the system can physically create larger waves? Maybe even surf sized like at west Edmonton mall? or are the side walls not high enough? I realize they're different types of systems but getting pushed up a 6' wave in a pool is pretty cool. Though you definitely have them beat on patterns. pretty sure I've only seen parallel waves there.
the west edmonton mall system is different it use a hydrolic system to move here is a video on the system ruclips.net/video/Ocl9WS_qav8/видео.html
never new they did multiple patterns, that's neat.
Thanks for the video, hope life calms down for you soon!
Yay!! Poolguy's back!
I kinda figured you'sd be buzzing around like a blue arsed fly. :)
Gotta love Whitewater!! Haven't been in soooo long!
Very cool video! I would venture to guess that some of these patterns, especially parallel where every baffle opens at the same time, would benefit greatly from having all 3 blowers in operation at once.
Thanks for taking the time to show us this
looking forward to seeing pools drain, and seeing more pipes
Thankyou for showing this! Its really awesome
I’ve missed these videos so much
Neat to see.... I'd have to say the very first one is what I'd want...
can i suggest investing in an eclectic screw driver! might speed things up just one of the like mini drill things haha
Nice one. Great too see the patterns.
Bro is using all the electricity of the city just for fun 🤣🤣
Thank you
Reminds me of the time back around 1999 or so they were showing off a wave system at a new pool local to me to the mayor and some other bottom feeders. The way the pool was designed is that there was a 25m swim section that from the mid point of the long side branched off to shallower pools and then curved around to "shallow" end of the swim pool where there was a jacuzzi. These two sections are separated by a short wall and some fake plants. So these dignitaries are standing near this Jacuzzi area to see this new amazing wave machine. Starts off all great and much amazement etc then someone piped up so what can it do?! Famous last words, the wave was the indoor equivalent of a tsunami and it cleared the wall and the trees. Almost drowning the dignitaries. Suffice to say things were hard limited after that.
So now we’ve seen pool guy’s face and now his name badge and we (pretty much) know where he works. We could basically clone him at this point 😂
Lol, I bet people who are close would like to visit him
@@mat2886 I’m not even in the same continent and I’d like to visit him 😂
that tiny little screw sure put up a big fight
still confused as to how i got here, but always find your new video's interesting :)
only thing i am curious about is the lighting that lights up the water slides ? they fall under your care ? and are they DMX or something ? :o would like a video that explains them if you find them time :)
You should totally include the startup of those blowers in videos like these
HE LIVES!!
You rocked my world😉😁 I subscribed.
Thank you so much for the content.
I always thought the waves were made by plates pushing the water I didn’t think of air pressure sucking the water back then dropping it.
Welcome back,!!!
Welcome back.
We missed ya!
Great video, thanks!
It seems like only a short while ago that you opened to the public, how long is your open season for before you close for the winter again? Also, you said in a previous video that you lose between 3-5% of the water daily due to evaporation, so how often do you need to top the water levels up? I'm assuming that you don't get much rain in Texas during the summer.
Full time is Memorial day to Labor Day
@@thepoolguy thanks for the reply. I'm planning on touring some more of the US when the pandemic is over and I'd like to put your park onto my travel list. However the slide with the trap door and the loop will get a no from me 🤣
@@thepoolguy I am amazed the operating season in Texas (with very warm weather in spring and fall) is essentially no different than in northeastern Canada. It is a huge facility to maintain and property tax to pay etc, for such a short operating revenue season. The advantages of large indoor water parks which are open 365 days a year are evident, without the need to winterize / shutdown and then recommission everything each year.
Hi pool guy I'm a hugh fan of the wave pool machine I love how it sounds even the pumps make to do you have anymore of this I love this sounds it makes and what all do I have to do to become a wave pool guy to work on the machine like this
Can the amplitude of the waves been increased? Our local pool in Australia has “surfing” waves where they can set the waves higher.. just interested if this is just a setting?
I’m guessing it’s just allowing the pressure in the chamber build up, so I’d assume you just increase the cadence between open valve and closed to get the maximum… but I just never understood that bit.
Love that you’ve done this.. thank you… it’s always intrigued me.
From his previous videos the fans are speed controlled to a safe zone. They can be cranked way up technically
When I was a lifeguard at a wave pool we would do guard practice and laps across the deep end with the waves turned up way above what they were while customers were there, and the end of summer city aquatics staff party was always turned up as well. I was really sad when it was "updated" between my first summer there as a guard and my second summer and it went from 10' to only 6'6" pool. The guard staff used to do "rescue" races from the bulkhead to the beach and back during the wave sessions. But it always impressed me how large/strong those waves could get, with the waves rolling all the way to the top beach drains. As far as the video goes, diamond/double diamond were the most common, although I recognize the vee as the one that we the guards hated the most. It always jammed everyone up in the center, and made it so much more difficult to identify struggling swimmers.
I did the Typon Texas Triathalon!!!
That's awesome. Hope you did well
I hope you do a video draining the pools, probable not that exciting but the surge pits draining would be cool
Nice
I guess you can't really do much more patterns because of water physics :)
Do the outside e-stops need replacing eventually? They look and sound a little sun damaged
Contacts inside shouldn't see any issue from the sun, the plastic over time will fade but we have estops outside (I'm UK mind so less sun more rain) and they generally last
Your welcome keep up the good work and can you make a video of you closing the pool
Awesome!
Amazing videos 📹 keep it up 👏 👏
Sweet video. Love l the content
Why is there a Pentair WhisperFlo under the lifeguard chair? And can you control the power of the waves? Like it can be for little kids small waves and then like a huge big strong waves for adults or people in the shallow area?
hard tell what last few wave types looked like with out seeing them breaking :p wish there more wave pools that could do 2'-3' breakers
It would work better if it had all 3 blowers hooked up I know the other waves over flow but wouldn't be hard to set up a plc to only run the 3rd blower on the ones that need help. And turn it off for the ones that don't need it. You'd get better waves using all the blowers just my opinion.
Surge pit tour!!!!
I would love to be there
I stayed in the deeper in the most. When I wondered to the shallower end thoes wave almost knocked us down.
Video starts at 15:38
My favorite is the giant wave pool at waterworld in colorado. Wonder if its still running.
There's this multi-use screwdriver you can buy in the electricians aisle at home Depot in Canada it's about 24 bucks so I think in the US it should be about 20 bucks I think you should buy one it would be incredibly useful because you can pop out the bits and it has a not driver that's 3/8 or quarter inch along with a Philips screwdriver and Flathead and torx and all that
Oh yes, we use these.... and lose all the parts. Lol. But yes, great suggestion
@@thepoolguy LoL the key is to put them all back together or scrounge all the missing parts and make one complete one. I haven't been able to find where you can just order extra parts for it I always seem to lose the bits
You need to get a ratcheting wrench set!
OK love the content, cool mechanical stuff behind the scenes things but please use the proper tools lmao.
You mean my multitool, that screw was lucky I didn't bring out the torch. 🤣
I wanna see a demo with something small like a rubber duck or a ball to simulate someone falling into the surge pit plz. Would they get sucked down or what would happen? A lot of other people also wonder his same thing. Thanks
*So that is why the waves start without fault every half an hour*
What's the best affordable above ground pool filter. My parents have a summer waves pool with that skimmer, but it constantly needs to be cleaned.
Is there a better option. It's 3500 gallons.
Nice Name @ThePoolGuy :)
😜
Have you considered a different series of valve? It seems like those valves for the cylinders are awfully troublesome. I recently was having a similar issue with sulfuric acid vapors seizing some aluminum valves every few months.
In line oilers help.
I’m sure if you hire an ambitious buff guy and his friends to pull that thing on a wheeled panel instead of a using a crane it’ll work just fine 😂
Pov ur vibing to Tom petty while he’s talking in the intro
The split and the vee look more rough. Can anyone surf on any of them?
India
Didn't we work on the #2 actuator a couple months ago?
We did back in April.
Do you use LOTO when maintaining? Just curious if you'd use that in that kind of a setting.
if you try 05 instead of just 5? maybe the system needs 2 digits
Do employees usually have a for themselves at the park or no?
i don‘t know what your long term plans with youtube are but let me tell you, consistant video uploads are key to expand your audience and hence, gain more views and clicks - awsome video btw 😊
So how are the waves auaclly made?
so BIG question im sure you heard about water park in the US that chemical interaction that off gassed just wondering your thoughts on it, how that kinda thing happens etc
Is there a setting for wave intensity? Could you make the waves bigger or more intense through the control panel?
No. But wave patterns can affect the "intensity" of the wave diamond is the most intense lateral is the least
Is this ausie queens land whitewater or American one
Is it normal for a wave machine to run for half a minute then shut off for ten?
i like diagonal left
I feel like it's bad luck to play the Caddyshack theme at a pool.
Not if there is no patrons; management probably let the staff do a custom playlist while they work.
