Intex Kool Splash Inflatable Water Slide

Intex Inflatable Slides:

• Main Product: The most common Intex slide is the Kool Splash Inflatable Water Slide (Model 58849EP or similar).
• Design: These slides are inflatable and typically feature a climbing section with handles and a sliding surface with built-in water sprayers (which attach to a garden hose). They often have a soft landing extension that goes into the pool.
• Compatibility: Intex explicitly states that the Kool Splash Inflatable Water Slide is great for most in-ground pools and any above-ground pool with a sufficient pool height deck.

Key Considerations for Inground Pool Use:

• Deck Height: The most crucial factor is having a pool deck that is high enough to safely position the slide so that users slide into the deeper end of the pool without hitting the edge or shallow areas. The slide needs to be stable and positioned securely on the deck.
• Pool Depth: Ensure the area where users will be sliding into is sufficiently deep and free of obstructions.
• Adult Supervision: Constant adult supervision is always necessary when using pool slides, regardless of the pool type.
• Weight Limit: Adhere to the weight limit specified by Intex for the slide (usually around 176 lbs or 80 kg).
• Secure Placement: Make sure the slide is placed on a level and stable part of the deck to prevent tipping.

Important Note:

• Intex does not manufacture permanent, fixed slides specifically designed for inground pools like those you might see at water parks or with more permanent residential pools. Their slides are inflatable and portable.
