Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dunk tank?

A dunk tank is a carnival-style attraction where a volunteer sits on a raised seat above a water-filled tank. Participants throw at a target to release the seat and drop the volunteer into the water.

How much water does this dunk tank hold?

Our standard dunk tank has a 500-gallon water capacity. It must be filled to the required operating level before use.

How much does the dunk tank cost to rent?

The regular six-hour rental is $350. Each additional hour is $35. Overnight rental is $437.50, and a two-day rental is $525. Delivery charges may apply by city.

Do you provide the water?

The listing does not specify whether water delivery or filling is included. The event location should have access to an adequate clean water supply. Please confirm filling responsibilities with Mike's Party Rentals before booking.

How long does a dunk tank take to fill?

Filling time depends on the available water pressure and hose flow rate. Since the tank holds approximately 500 gallons, allow ample time before guests begin using it. Verify the filling schedule in advance.

How do you drain the dunk tank afterward?

Water must be drained at a permitted location according to the event site's rules. Confirm who handles drainage and where the water may be discharged before the rental is delivered.

Does the dunk tank need electricity?

The product listing does not specify an electrical requirement. Traditional mechanical dunk tanks generally do not require a blower, but please confirm your unit's requirements when reserving.

How much setup space does the dunk tank need?

Exact measurements are not published. The location must have sufficient room for the tank, target, throwing area, operator access, spectators, and delivery equipment. Contact us to verify the necessary clearance.

Does a dunk tank require level ground?

Yes. A suitable flat, stable, and level surface is essential. The setup must support the weight of the filled tank and its occupants and comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions.

Can the dunk tank be used for school fundraisers?

Absolutely! Dunk tanks are classic attractions for school carnivals, PTA and PTO fundraisers, teacher appreciation events, and field days. Only eligible participants may sit in the tank.

Is a dunk tank good for company picnics?

Yes! A dunk tank makes a fun activity for employee appreciation celebrations, corporate family days, and company picnics where willing participants can volunteer to be dunked.

Can children use the dunk tank?

Participants throwing at the target and people sitting on the dunking seat have different safety requirements. The seated volunteer must meet the manufacturer's applicable age, height, weight, swimming ability, and operating restrictions. Verify eligibility before your event.

Does the dunk tank need an attendant?

Yes. A responsible, trained attendant should continuously supervise the attraction, control throwing and dunking activities, and enforce manufacturer instructions. Never leave an operating dunk tank unattended.

What safety precautions are needed?

Use only approved throwing equipment, maintain the required water level, keep the area clear of bystanders, and follow all manufacturer rules. Participants must not dive, jump, or enter the tank except as permitted by the operating instructions. A dunk tank is not a swimming pool.

Can the dunk tank be used at a park?

Park use may be possible where dunk tanks are permitted and adequate water access, a stable setup area, and approved drainage arrangements are available. Check park and permit requirements before booking.

What's the difference between this and the collapsible dunk tank?

This is our traditional 500-gallon dunk tank. We also offer a 450-gallon collapsible model designed for locations with tighter access. Both are available as separate rentals.

Does the rental include setup and takedown?

Yes. Mike's Party Rentals provides professional delivery, setup, and takedown. Please confirm water filling and draining duties separately before your event.

Is delivery free in Vancouver, WA?

Yes! Vancouver has a $0 delivery fee with the applicable $245 rental minimum. A standard $350 dunk tank rental meets that minimum on its own. Fees and minimums differ in other service areas.
