Protect Your Stream Machine From Sun, Heat, and Off-Season Damage
To prevent warping and fading, keep your Stream Machine out of direct sunlight and extreme heat. Avoid storing launchers in hot cars or sunbaked sheds; instead, keep them in a shaded area like a porch or under a deck. This protects the high-quality polymers from expanding and maintains the material's integrity.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Always rinse your launcher with fresh water after use, especially if you've been playing in chlorinated pools or salt water. This prevents mineral buildup and seal corrosion. If the handle becomes difficult to pull, simply unscrew the removable tip and flush the barrel with water to clear out any trapped sand or grit.
Off-Season Storage
Before storing for winter, completely drain the Stream Machine by cycling the handle several times to prevent mold or barrel cracking caused by freezing water. Store your launchers in a climate controlled indoor space, such as a basement or closet, to protect them from extreme temperature shifts and ensure they are ready for next summer.
Long-Term Durability
By following these simple care steps, you'll protect your water launcher for years to come. Consistent maintenance not only prevents costly damage from the elements but also ensures that your Stream Machine delivers maximum pressure and distance every time you take it out for a water battle.
