WhiteWater West Industries has announced the expansion of its line of patent-pending SilkTek(tm) translucent fiberglass components found on its AquaTube and Poolsider waterslides.

Available in an array of colors, the translucent components elevate the visual appeal of waterslides, while maintaining the highest level of safety or durability.

"Before translucent technology, enclosed waterslides were dark, almost industrial looking," says WhiteWater West CEO Geoff Chutter. "See-through fiberglass lets in more light and creates beautiful prismatic effects, while also putting on a great show for both people waiting in line and spectators."

The see-through fiberglass technology is the result of more than 10 years of in-house research and development.

"This process is extremely complicated, with a significant learning curve. We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars with the goal of developing a truly unique product for our customers, one that adds a whole new level of value and entertainment creating the ultimate waterslide," adds Chutter.

WhiteWater's translucent fiberglass is now available in blue, red, green, dark green, orange and yellow.
