Acting with empathy, patience and consistency in putting our customers first. So we created our Core Four Promises. 1. 1,100 Day warranty on all aquapark features. Within reason if there is an issue - it’s on us. 2. 20-Day Guarantee – From the time we agree there is an issue in less than 3 weeks we will have it resolved. 3. Performance Guarantee – if a customer is not completely satisfied with a feature – at no cost we will substitute with a feature of equal price. 4.

Union have played a big part in helping us set up our first aqua park. They supported us from design stage all the way through to installation, whilst managing to keep to our schedule. The team have helped us with aftercare and are always available for advice and support. Their products look awesome, with the blue colour being able to fit into any environment. Can not wait to see what new obstacles they will release next year so we can add them to our park. Thank you UNION.
