Can this slide be used with just a garden hose?

Not likely. It really needs a steady stream if water, and is designed to "recycle" the water back into & out of the pool.

See the description "Attaches to any standard garden hose" It comes with a hose attachment.

I agree with the previous person responding. This uses a standard garden hose connection and is very durable.

The review sounds possible. If you are going to use this hose just for a normal garden hose it should be durable. Anything more than that (like letting kids pull hard on it) may cause a problem. The hose inside the plastic case is sturdier than most. Hope this helps.

Yes, there is a standard male garden hose connection on the back of the unit for a hose about a foot above the base of the unit. The hose has to routed and sloped so it goes downhill to a point lower than the connection point.

Yes just try not to overload the slide. The weight capacity is for.normal verticle position

Yes it would work as a pool slide. The biggest thing is as the other responses state that it need's a base and a deck or something for it to be mounted on. The slide itself is pretty flimsy, so it is important to sure it up with 2 x 4 material.

You could. But it's overkill for that purpose. The "RV" type hoses are meant to be used when supplying potable water. Normal garden hoses can leave a bad rubber taste in water and over time, break down and leave contaminants behind. So if just for watering the flowers then just get a cheap hose for that purpose.

It will dry out pretty quick and may end the fun for the kids. I have to use more than one hose to keepthe slide wet

As long as you have some type of water source(I.e. Hose) and if you have a little elevation or slope also helps a lot. The water slide is a good time

I would have to give an answer of NO! Garden hose is much to soft and are to large in diameter. Use a regular hose clamp for many types of plastic hoses.

Not with out some modification. It would be steep and the base would not sit flat. Try to find longer slide would be the easy solution.

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

If you are connecting the metal part to the faucet, or connecting two garden hoses together - YES. If you are connecting a sprayer head, or if your garden hose has a plastic part that connects to the faucet - NO because its diameter is not wide enough.

Yes you can but I found the problem was with the connections - that is here the leaks are at both ends. The hose itself seemsto be durable but the problem is with the connection sites.

The attachment must be hooked up to a pool suction hose and will not work with a garden hose.

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.
