The Turtle Creek Sprayground project showcases a cutting-edge 6,484-square-foot splash pad designed to engage visitors of all ages. This dynamic play area boasts both ground-based and above-ground water features, with an impressive multi-level ADA-accessible play structure serving as the centerpiece. To ensure optimal performance, the splash pad is supported by three dedicated valve vaults that supply the play features and structure. At the core of the filtration system is the advanced HALO system controller, which expertly manages chemical balance, regulates all pump VFDs, interlocks with the heater, controls water levels in the storage reservoir and make-up water, and integrates with three activation bollards. This sophisticated system sequences solenoid valves to enhance the interactive experience.
