Everything You Need to Know

A dunk tank is a large water-filled tank with a seat suspended above it. When a target is hit by a thrown ball, the seat collapses, and the person sitting on it falls into the water. It’s a classic attraction for fundraisers, parties, and community events.

Participants can range from kids to adults, but they must meet certain safety requirements. Typically, dunk tank participants must be able to safely sit on the seat and hold themselves above water. Weight limits may apply depending on the tank model.

We can provide a trained attendant or volunteer to operate the dunk tank safely. This has an extra fee. Customers usually provide the participant(s) for the dunk tank. If you need an operator or a “celebrity” sitter, please request in advance. Do note that a person is required to be 54” or taller to be a sitter for the tank.

A typical dunk tank requires a flat, open area of ideally 20 ft long x 15 ft wide for throwing area. You must have 60” wide for it to pass through any gate. Indoor setups are possible if ceiling height allows and water containment is secure.

NO. You must provide your own water source and hoses. Check with your rental provider for specific requirements. Water is usually drained and removed by the client after the event for safety. It is a simple plug that is unscrewed to allow water to flow out.

Setup usually takes 30 minutes, depending on the location and accessibility. Our team will deliver, set up, and ensure the dunk tank is safe for participants. FILL time is dependent on your water source and pressure but should take about 1 hour on average.

Most rentals are for 4 or 8 hours, but extended rentals are available. Please ask about pricing for overnight or multi-day events.

Yes, dunk tanks generally have a weight limit of 250 lbs. but limits may vary depending on the tank.

We have windows for viewing the participants as well. Participants should follow all instructions and avoid diving or standing on the tank.

Dunk tanks are designed for warm-weather events. Water temperatures in cold weather can be unsafe or uncomfortable for participants but we do not have a way to provide heated water. We recommend a wet suit for polar plunging.

Absolutely! Dunk tanks are a popular choice for fundraisers, school events, company picnics, and fairs. They’re a fun way to engage participants and raise money by having people pay for a chance to dunk a volunteer.
