The Waturi people only use white plasticIs this white plastic painted blue? Why not just use blue plastic?
@scott_walker .. makes sense, perhaps the ramps are bespoke parts - when compared to the bottom BAU exit which is still unmarked despite there being a bump on exit from small drop;

I was going to say calcium buildup which really means that the waters hardness is to high. It’s very common in pools especially water features like that.I believe that white on the blue slide might well be lime buildup. Florida’s water comes from limestone cave aquifers deep underground.
Source: Hard water - WikipediaHard water is water that has high mineralcontent (in contrast with "soft water"). Hard water is formed when water percolates through deposits of limestone and chalk which are largely made up of calcium and magnesiumcarbonates.

Wouldn’t that effect the bottom of the slide also?
Only if it leaked through a crack. Otherwise that would not happen.
I think they need to C.L.R. it or something. :saywhat:
I don’t follow.

I'll interpret.
Scott meant the bottom, meaning the lower part of the slide where it goes into the pool. In the picture a few posts ago, the lower end of the slide is still blue with no white showing.
Teebin took bottom to mean the underside of the slide pieces which would only get wet if there was a crack.
Sunlight cooks the lime, cakes it on. The lower part doesn't get direct sunlight, so no baking. My guess anyway.Ooops... hmmm. Why it wouldn’t be just white or worn at the end of the slide I have no idea. I’m sticking with lime though.
