ANCHORING
IMPORTANT: Proper anchoring is essential for user safety and
performance of the Splash Trax system. Due to the wide variety of
conditions, please consult with your local experts in mooring and anchoring
if necessary. Anchors and mooring lines are sold separately.
The type of anchoring system and amount of weight needed to ensure your
system will be anchored safely depends upon the anticipated wind, height
of anticipated waves and the type of lake, river or ocean bottom. For long-
term installations with a sand bottom, land screws are a very solid option.
These land screws can be put into the bottom just over 3 feet (roughly 1
meter) and with a solid bottom, they typically remain in the same location
whereas other types of anchoring systems can sometimes move under
significant pressure. Placement of land screws requires installation
assistance with a trained and certified scuba diver.
Other types of weighting systems that are readily available could include
septic tank covers, cinder blocks, landscaping blocks, cement tire blocks
and other locally available options. Typical installations begin with
attaching a chain to the anchor itself and then connecting the Anchor
Connector kit to that anchor. See the installation manual for the Anchor
Connector Kit for how this is attached. While it is difficult to say exactly
what is necessary for weight for every installation, it is suggested that you
anchor the Splash Trax pieces with roughly 100-120 pounds of weight (45-
55 kilos) at each anchor point. A good rule of thumb would be to anchor
every third activity module to prevent movement.
