To be honest with you... I very much think whatever fluid you use... your dance floor will still end up in a dangerous state.... unless you occasionally give it a mop or something....

Just what I was thinking.
Regardless of the fluid you use, bubbles pop, and when they do, the fluid falls to the floor.
End result...dance floor turns into a skating rink.
Make sure you have PLI which covers it!

I had a young girl (around 14-15) call up yesterday asking about disco prices. After I had asked her a few relevant questions I gave her a price to which she replied "and what do I get for that?". I said, obviously a high quality digital sound system, intelligent lights and smoke machine venue permitting and I could throw in some glow sticks too.
She then asked if I have a foam machine or bubble machine. I explained that due to the dangers of a slippery dance floor I don't use bubble machines and I'm sure most venues probably won't entertain a foam machine.
She very politely said she'll phone around and call me back if she can't get anyone else???
Good luck I told her.

I suppose you could get the client to sign a disclaimer of some sort?

I have a disclaimer form which is supplemental to the main T&Cs for anyone requesting bubbles. No form, no bubbles. Don't know how watertight it is but then it's never been tested because we always keep a close watch on the state of the floor and I've been known to send the roadie out with a couple of old towels to clear up if necessary.
One tip is to keep moving the nozzle so different parts of the room get "hit".

For the last 6 months I've been using 2x Zoom z10 bubble machines on my rig (either side) at my younger gigs to great effect. in fact it has been known for a lot of adults to love the bubbles too including ages of 50+
.
In my experience the quality of the bubble fluid doesnt make that much of a difference apart from the cheaper fluid is more water based and the more expensive fluid leaves a sticky substance on the floor.
But the biggest tip i have for you to stop the dance floor becoming an ice rink is to locate the machines above head height. I have found since I've added mine to my overhead lighting bar i have much more coverage and as they are spread out over a larger space the dance floor doesn't become slippery.
But i must advise you when using bubble machines keep a close eye on the state of the floor as every venue is different and the last thing you want is a court claim against you!!!
Thanks some good points there have tried a few machines out in the past and found using it in short bursts usually keeps the dancefloor from getting too slippery just wondered whether fluid quality helped as well.
As for kids parties you could fire 100,000,000 bubbles into the air and i doubt 10 would hit the floor lol
