how do you get water on the slide

2 high arcing sprinklers, one ten feet from top and the other 25ft from bottom!!

We bought a lawn sprinkler and attached to our hose.... We wet the entire waterslide first and then put the sprinkler in the middle of the waterslide and left it running.. Worked like a charm.

no attachment it is just a long sheet of plastic and i use a trash can and put my shop vac hose in it turn it on so it will blow into trash can with water hose and add dish soap and it will make you fly and the kids love it!!! the water and soap will fill up trash can and flow over onto the slide or you could just grease down the slide with soap then keep water flowing on it which ever you have but the soap is what really makes it work well and slippery to go faster

You can use sand, if the sand is fine. It should flow through the water wheel part.

Yes. But, you can turn it down till you just have enough water coming out for the slide or you can turn the water off but the slide will dry up. I will be honest, it will run up your water bill like you watered your grass all season, which I didn't so I consider it a trade off. This is fun, basically easy and the kids just love it. Money well spent in my opinion....even with the extra in the water bill.

Yes, a water hose must be attached and if you want the water spray on slide and walls of pool area the water must be running from the hose. It does not recycle the water, sadly. Must add though, I have 5, 3 and 1 year olds and they all love this thing. I let the pool fill up enough to make it fun and then shut the water off. They forget about the water spray by then and are having a BLAST!!! ;-)

Yes. Particularly the ball pit part. The slide works best wet though, in my opinion.

It has a bag under the slide attached with ropes that you fill with water that holds it down.

The best way we found to complete drain/dryout the pool/slide (sidewinder) is to turn off blower and allowing deflate and drain like normally would (be sure to open plugs under pool). Then once most of the water has drain roll (like a toothpaste tube) pressing as much out water as possible. Then unroll and re-inflate - - - -this should help the trapped water to escape via the seams, etc...allow to stand atleast 15-20 minutes and then deflate and re-roll again. Hopefully this helps!!

There will be some "leakage" from the sewn seams...it holds water well enough to create a lake to slide into, but water will "ooze" through the seams....very slowly and very small amounts... it is more likely that water is being splashed outside of the edges as kids/adults come down the slide....and that water can puddle under the slide if there is a tilt to the land. If no one has used the slide, and there are still puddles of water under it, you have a Large Leak somewhere!!!

Correct. I bought as a pool slide. It is sitting at 4.6 and gets good momentum at that height. I do have water hooked to it though.

Yes absolutely! My son loved using the slide in the fall. He has just as good a time with or without water

I agree with the other responders--very unlikely you'd get wet. There is not that much water and the stream is concentrated to provide the thrust. I also agree that it is a GREAT toy. My grandsons absolutely love it. Truly a low cost thrill!

The Pirate Bay uses a continuous water flow and doesn't really fill up, but it can get about 6" it the splash area. Here's what it says on the Blast Zone site: Blast Zone Inflatable Water Parks and Slides include a sprayer system that attaches to a garden hose, keeping the slides just slippery enough to slide. A Flow restrictor reduces water use. You can also adjust the flow yourself by adjusting the spigot. The sprayers only require a minimal amount of water to maintain flow on the slides, and Splash Areas have water outlets to keep water levels no more than 6" for safety.

You can just push it into the ground .if the ground is really hard , just turn water on and it will soften the earth and work its way into the ground with a little pressure and patience .

Once the pool part fills, sometimes we shut it off and my son just plays in the water, but the water gun doesn't work without the water running and the slide can start to dry up. There is water that runs at the top of the slide to keep the slide wet while the water is running. We have separate play water guns too though, so if they are squirting those around on it, it's still fine to slide down.

the slide is the front, there is an opening on the left side where the little ones can get in and the pump is on the right back. there is also a basketball hoop inside. Before I put this on the ground I lay a tarp on the ground first and then put the slid on top for extra protection. hope this helps and glad I got it the grand kids love it and the price is good. I researched every site out there before I purchase this.

I am making an assumption that you want to hook a garden hose directly to the slide rather than using the corrugated hose (installation manual, pg. 9 1st photo). You should be able to remove and replace the adapter where the hose normally attaches to the slide. The adapter can be replaced at a hardware store like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. (maybe even a Pool store if they sell the PVC parts) with a PVC fitting that screws into the slide where the adapter came out. The one thing to keep in mind is that the threads for the PVC replacement fitting will match the adapter, but garden hose threads are different. So ask your store personnel for a PVC threaded adapter that matches the corrugated hose piece you removed AND a garden hose adapter that can be attached to the replacement PVC adapter. Hope this makes sense.
