Could you use this without water just as a dry slide?

I would not...the water is what moves the child down the slide, I'm afraid dry it would not work too well.

It has to be hooked up continuously if you want to use the slide part -- there's a sprayer down the slide that needs a continuous water source.

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

No. You really need a large volume of pumped water to make this work. we used a ton of dish soap and still needed 3-4 sprinklers to be able to use this slide.

U can. But it has moving parts that water can get into. Just need to dry it out completely.

Yes, the bed can be used without the slide. It is easily hooked on and off.

From my experience the heating element doesn't work very well. But yes you can run the waterfall without the heat.

I'm pretty sure it can. If you go to the PlayStar website, there is an attachment: Part # PS8840 that you can attach to turn it into a water slide. http://www.playstarinc.com/Playsets/Components.aspx

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.

yes but you would need to have it in a dry location where the rain wouldn't not get into the system

yes you can even though I never have done it. It would work just be sure not to let it dry

The bounce part can be used dry, but the slide needs to be wet, otherwise kiddos get stuck sliding down the slide down it and they also land straight on hard ground without the pool filled.

Yes, we use it all the time without water, The only thing I have notice is the kids occassionaly get a small sore, kinda like a little burn on their elbows from riding down but my girls don't complain they LOVE IT!!!! Best thing I have bought them :) Well worth the money

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

If it absolutely is in a dry place...it works great indoors but have never tried it outside...but as long as it does not get wet and is secure, I would think it would be okay...

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.

No it won't work, it's not sturdy and there is no lining that u can take out and clean. So if it gets damp there is no way of drying it
