Can this be used dry, or would sliding be too difficult without the water?

you need the water. Otherwise you just roll down. Also, the bottom of the pool in not padded at all so you want the water in there to soften the landing!

My daughter has tried to go down without water, but she was in a bathing suit & the vinyl was too sticky against her skin. Could be possible with other clothes if they don't stick to the vinyl, but not sure. Landing might be rough without water in the bottom for padding.

I seem to remember that you could but I just use it dry. Go on their website and look at the manual. Good luck

No gel needed- will work well even without water, but a drop of water each time may preserve it for longer life

It's not easy to remove if dry . Using water n some soap can easily remove the silicone

There will be a lot of water...so I wouldn't call it dry. Keep a towel handy, you will need one.

I would not run the pump dry. I make sure the pump is in at least 1" of water.

I would think you could use water with no problem. Paint is a very poor product in it though. It just can't seem to work very well.

I would not add water to the kinetic sand. I have not experienced it drying out. If it feels dry to you, just work it in your hand and it will come back to its original texture.

Yes it is. I haven't tried it wet yet but the info sheet says it can be used wither way.

No. Also, You have to use your hand to wring it dried; otherwise, it would be too watery.

If it could be kept dry. I have one under a carport area where it cant get wet and have had no problems.

Well, it's made out of a foam-like material, so it would become damp. You might be able to pull it off though if you covered it with a plastic bag and taped it up so the water didn't get in.

I would advise not to. The gap between the boat dock and the water will make the slide tear.

If you submerge it for less than about 5 seconds, it can dry off just fine with no water inside, but as a bath toy it will fill up in the seams of the joints and is not made to do so. Hope this helps!

It'll do just fine agains a drizzle, a downpour may soak trhu. You definitely do not want to submerge it in water.

I do not believe this unit is water resistant, so perhaps it could be used under a very dry overhang, but I would not recommend it.

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
