Nev. Admin. Code § 444.1958 - Water slides: Splash pools
1. If a splash pool
is used at a water slide, it must be located at the base of the
slide.
2. Except as otherwise
provided in this subsection, the depth in a splash pool at the end of the flume
must be maintained at 3 1/2 feet (1.05 meters) from the normal operating level
to the floor. This depth must be maintained for a distance of not less than 20
feet (6.08 meters) from the point of exit from the flume, or not less than 30
feet (9.12 meters) from that point if the point of exit is even with the normal
operating level. The health authority may waive these requirements if a special
exit system is used that ensures a safe exit from the flume and safe entry to
the splash pool.
3. Beyond the area
of level floor required by subsection 2, in the area of the pool opposite the
point of exit from the flume, the floor of the splash pool may have a constant
slope upward of not more than 1 in 7.
4. If steps are provided instead of exit
ladders or stepholes with handrails, a handrail must be provided at the steps
opposite the point of exit from each flume. The surface edge of the splash pool
steps must be outlined in a contrasting color.
