Water Park Flow

Who It Is For

Water Park Flow is built for water park operators, facility managers, and sustainability leads who are accountable for utility costs and municipal compliance. It fits a single park or a portfolio, and it is designed to be read by the people who run the operation day to day, not only by engineers.

How It Works

Usage data from meters and control systems feeds the dashboard continuously. Each ride and zone gets its own profile. Municipal restriction rules are entered once and checked automatically. The Looking Ahead module watches for patterns that do not match expected behaviour and raises them early, with the context needed to act.

AI Software Application Features

• A live view of water and electricity use, park wide and per ride
• Automatic compliance checks against local water restrictions
• Early warnings on leaks, spikes, and unusual usage
• A maintenance and compliance log tied to real usage data
• Reports ready to share, on the schedule you choose

Dashboard and Status Board

• One dashboard for every park in the company, each with a status board for Compliance, Efficiency and Problems, a green, amber or red level and a plain reason for each.
• Full park cards with the day’s weather from the forecast, water and electricity against the model, the scorecard grade, a 14 day water chart and the open alerts.
• Month to date water, electricity, cost, carbon, recycled water and guests for every park and for the whole company, each against the same period last year.
• Sustainability Scorecard: an A to E grade per park on recycled water rate, water per guest, energy per guest, carbon per guest, permit compliance, water quality and equipment condition, with the trend on each.
• Path to Net Zero: the straight path from each park’s baseline year to its target year against what it has actually emitted, with the gap, the reduction since baseline and the cut needed each year.
• Looking Ahead: the predictive analysis, listing what is going to become a problem before it does.

Water and Energy Tracking

• Per ride and whole park tracking of fresh water, electricity, utility cost and carbon.
• A physical model that works out what each ride should have used from the weather, attendance, pump sizes and operating hours, so every reading is checked against what the day justified.
• Evaporation, splash out, backwash, rain gain and recycled water rate for every ride.
• Pump energy from rated power, load factor, variable speed drives and idle share, with peak demand and demand charges.
• Daily weather from Open Meteo with a year of history, or a synthetic climate model for offline use.
• Utility rates per park with tiers, demand limits and sewer charges, in the park’s own currency and units.

Alerts and Predictive Analysis

• Thirty six alert types covering leaks, pump wear, filter pressure, overnight running, suspect readings, permit and daily limit projections, demand limits, equipment age, water chemistry, test frequency, checklists, inspections, work orders, assets, backwash, chemical stock and spare parts.
• Advance warnings before a limit is crossed, not after.
• Looking Ahead watch items from twelve analysis rules: water and electricity climbing toward the problem line, pump vibration and bearing temperature heading for the alarm zone, filters loading faster or not coming clean, chemistry drifting toward a limit, chemical stock running out before a delivery can land, the permit crossing date, hot spells in the forecast, a growing work order backlog, assets reaching end of life, inspections bunching up and daily checks being missed.
• Each watch item carries the evidence figures, when it matters, a confidence level and what to do.
• A pump that is heading for the alarm line with no spare on the shelf and a lead time longer than the days left becomes an Act Now item.
• One click from any alert to a work order.

Compliance

• Municipal water permit tracking with daily and monthly limits, month to date use, the projected month end and the date the limit would be crossed.
• Water chemistry standards profile per park: CDC Model Aquatic Health Code, British Columbia Pool Regulation, Ontario Regulation 565, Nova Scotia Aquatic Guidelines or custom, with every limit editable.
• Water quality log for free and combined chlorine, bromine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid and water temperature per pool, checked against the profile as you save, with excursions, actions taken and test coverage.
• Regulatory compliance register for health inspections, ride permits and annual inspections (ASTM F770, CSA Z267), drain cover certification, backflow tests, generator tests, electrical and fire inspections, chemical storage, insurance and operator certification, with overdue and due soon alerts.
• Daily safety checklists: pre opening ride checks, closing round, plant room round, structural walk, safety equipment, generator test, wave machine and splash pad checks, kept with the person and the date. A failed item opens a work order.

Maintenance

• Work orders with priority, status, assignment, parts and labour cost, downtime and resolution.
• Asset register for pumps, drives, valves, panels, generators, lighting, HVAC, safety equipment, ride equipment and structures, with condition, warranty, expected life and inspection intervals.
• Spare parts register with minimums, lead times, unit cost, storage location, the assets each part fits, deliveries, use, stock takes and write offs. Parts used on a work order come off stock and add their cost to the job.
• Filters and backwash log with differential pressure, water to waste and pressure based backwash alerts.
• Chemical inventory with deliveries, daily use, stock takes, days of stock and reorder alerts.
• Condition readings from pumps (vibration, bearing and motor temperature) and indoor humidity, with alarm zone alerts.

Reports

• Thirteen PDF report types for engineers and executives: Monthly Sustainability Summary, Season Outlook, One Page Board Summary, Capital Proposal, Ride Water and Energy Profile, Compliance Log, Evaporation Analysis, Forecast Accuracy, Annual Impact, Water Quality Log, Maintenance Summary, Asset Register and Lifecycle, and Regulatory Compliance Status.
• Generated on demand in the browser or emailed on a schedule.
• Written summaries, the Looking Ahead watch items and the Path to Net Zero chart inside the executive reports.
• Every report carries its formulas and assumptions on the last page.

Retrofit Scenarios

• Ten common upgrades with capex, savings and payback: variable frequency drives, activated play features, low flow ride design, splash containment risers, overnight circulation setback, overnight pool covers, LED lighting, staggered pump starts, dehumidifier heat recovery and pressure based backwash.
• Savings are not estimates. Each scenario reruns the park’s own last 365 days of weather and attendance through the model with the upgrade switched on.

Data Intake

• Manual entry forms for meter readings, tests and checks.
• Automated intake through an API key per source, accepting JSON in any shape or CSV, with a raw inbox and field mapping so any machine format can be connected without losing data.
• CSV upload.

Platform

• Multi park and multi company with four roles: system admin, account admin, park manager and demo viewer.
• Park, ride, location, rate and permit settings editable in the app, with photo uploads for parks and rides.
• Light and dark themes, phone friendly layout and an audit trail of every change.
• Plain PHP and MySQL, installs on ordinary web hosting with a browser installer and a single daily scheduled job. No special server needed.
• Demo parks with realistic history so every feature can be seen working on day one.
