Vortex International launches new ‘VECTORY’ splashpad collection

Vortex Aquatic Structures International, a manufacturer and world leader in aquatic attractions and solutions, has launched VECTORY™, an innovative Splashpad® collection designed to ignite movement, creativity, and engagement through dynamic play.

As families and communities grow, so do their recreational needs. VECTORY™ was created to offer an inclusive, intergenerational play experience that brings people of all ages together. Whether it’s toddlers experiencing water play for the first time, children running through thrilling sprays, or parents and grandparents joining in the fun, VECTORY™ fosters movement in a fun aquatic environment.

Richard Martin, VP Product Development at Vortex explains "VECTORY™ was inspired by the way play brings people together. We saw an opportunity to elevate the game experience for the whole family and engage teenagers, drawing them away from screens and into the excitement of the splash pad. To bring this vision to life, we collaborated with an occupational therapist to test VECTORY™ with children, parents, and grandparents. Watching them interact and have a blast together was truly incredible."

New Products
The VECTORY™ collection introduces nine brand-new products, many of which bring first-of-their-kind innovations to the industry.

Among them Reflex and Apex feature three DualSpray™ interactive nozzles, letting players activate sprays on their opponents and engage in exciting water battles. Tactik stands out as the first-ever pulse water cannon, allowing users to precisely control water jet intensity through the revolutionary PulseSpray™ technology. Dynamik N°1 & N°2 cater to younger players with an easy-turn 360° TwistFlow™ mechanism, allowing children to guide water onto cascading buckets or spinning wheels for an engaging, hands-on experience.

All products are engineered for smart water management, ensuring maximum fun with minimal water usage. With low water flow rate designs, each feature optimises water efficiency without compromising on excitement, making it the ideal solution for municipalities and designers looking to create sustainable and engaging public play spaces.

Whether designing a new Splashpad® or upgrading an existing one, VECTORY™ is built for adaptability. Featuring the Anchoring System Safeswap™, the collection allows for easy layout reconfiguration, ensuring long-term flexibility without major renovations.
