Q: What is needed to power the inflatable?
A: Most inflatables are powered by a standard 120 volt, 15 amp, residential, 3-prong outlet (extension cords will be supplied as required). Refer to the specifications section on the amusements page for information on the particular inflatable you are interested in. A generator can be used however a standard 120 volt, 15 amp outlet is preferred. You can rent a generator from QCi for $75 for up to 8 hours.
Q: What will the inflatable do to my yard?
A: The inflatable may temporarily flatten your lawn, and although Queen City Inflatables, LLC cannot guarantee, it is very unlikely that any long term damage will be done. You may notice more wear at the entry/exit point, a small tarp or matt may lessen the impact in this area. When using water slides or a slip-n-slide you may have some soggy areas that you should let dry before applying heavy traffic, however we suggest turning off the water when the slide is not in use to avoid dispensing unnecessary water.
Q: What surface can the inflatable be set-up on?
A: Inflatables can be set-up on most flat, level, hard to semi-hard surfaces. Acceptable surfaces include grass (preferred), dirt, mulch, concrete or asphalt (must be on private driveway or closed parking lot). All surfaces must be free of standing water, mud and debris. Contact Queen City Inflatables, LLC for questions on other surfaces.
Q: Can inflatables be set-up in parks, parking lots or cul-de-sacs?
A: Queen City Inflatables, LLC can set-up in public venues such as those mentioned above although it is the customer's sole responsibility to research, apply for and secure all approvals or permits required for use in this scenario. Queen City Inflatables, LLC will request a copy of this information prior to delivery.
Q: How and when are the inflatables sanitized?
A: Inflatables are thoroughly cleaned after each use. Cleaning is accomplished using mild detergents, water and good ol' elbow grease. After cleaning Queen City Inflatables, LLC is sure to thoroughly rinse and dry all units to ensure they arrive clean and ready for use.
Q: How and when are the inflatables inspected?
A: Inflatables are inspected after each use and upon delivery.
Inspection includes:
- Setting up and inflating the equipment.
- Giving the fan a visual inspection including the cord, connections to the cord, connections to the inflatable and proper operation.
- Giving the inflatable unit a thorough exterior and interior inspection including the seams on all side panels and nets, seams of inflated sections and inspection of the vinyl for damage or defects.
