Trained service animals are welcome at our park. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. Service animals are working animals, not pets. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability.
Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals. Miniature horses that have been individually trained to do or perform tasks for people with disabilities will qualify as service animals. If a person’s disability is not apparent, or it is not obvious what services an animal provides, park employees may inquire whether or not the animal is a service animal needed for a disability, and what task(s) the animal is trained to perform.
Service animals must be housebroken and remain on a leash or harness and under the control of their handler at all times. Owners are responsible for disposing of their animal’s waste.
If a service animal demonstrates aggressive behavior (i.e. excessive barking, snarling, biting, etc,) or poses a direct threat to the health or safety of a guest or employee, the guest will be directed to remove the animal from the park.
Service animals are welcome in most locations of the park. However, most of our rides, attractions, and pools are not equipped or designed for, accessibility to service animals. Therefore, a member of your party must be available to stay with the animal while you ride. Service animals are not allowed in the pools, including water features and fountains, or closer than 4 feet to the water on wet decks.
Further, the Park has service animal relief areas that are designated on the Park Map for the convenience of guests and their service animals. Service animals must be under the control of their handler while in these areas.
NRH2O uses sodium hypochlorite (the main active ingredient in household bleach) to sanitize the water to keep the pools safe and clean for park guests.
To lower the pH of the swimming pool water to required levels, the park uses muriatic acid which is a commonly used chemical in swimming pool operations.
NRH2O uses the latest in water chemistry controllers in conjunction with trained, certified pool operators to ensure that the water remains clean and sanitized.
In addition to the automated testing of the water, NRH2O personnel manually test the water throughout the day to ensure that it is properly treated.
To aid in filtration, the park employs advanced filtration methods or filtration additives such as Pulsar (SeaKlear) PRS that are both designed to remove very small particles from the pool systems. This helps to keep the water clean and safe. As an extra layer of protection for all guests visiting the park, NRH2O uses ultraviolet systems (UV) to its filtration areas. UV systems are very effective at inactivating organisms such as Cryptosporidium and actually help provide better air quality around the pool area. Another major benefit is that they work around the clock to continuously assist in keeping the water safe for all guests.
NRH2O recycles all of its water to conserve as much as possible. The water is continually filtered.
At the end of the season, the park removes all of the chemicals and the water is sent back into the area’s water supply to be recirculated.
Rather than cooling off at home with sprinklers and hoses, NRH2O provides an environment where people from all over the area can have fun and cool off while conserving water at the same time.
