How much does it cost to operate?
H2O Fido splash pads are designed to operate efficiently with automated sequencing that continuously controls flow while keeping the pad active. For most medium sized splash pads, the average flow rate is around 12 gallons per minute. Most clients offer 2 to 3 "splash times" per day during the warm months. As you will be offering a "water park" for dogs your water bill will increase some depending on your settings. Most see an increase from between $100 - $400 per month during their busy season. Our PuddlePlay systems can significantly reduce this amount. Electricity is minimal - about the same as powering a computer.
