5 Most Exciting Pool Slides — Turn Your Pool into an Amusement Park!

While the pool slide industry has expanded rapidly in recent times, you will still be hard-pressed to find a slide that is better than the S.R. Smith Rogue2. It’s such a high-quality slide that screams fun. In fact, it’s our Editor’s Pick out of all the slides we featured on this list, and it isn’t more than what it deserves. The first thing we will talk about is the flume of the slide, which is nothing short of remarkable. It’s rotomolded from plastic and can hold a weight of up to 250 pounds, which means parents can also slide in along with their kids.

Thanks to the premium-quality plastic construction that the flume has, it is not likely to get damaged by extreme exposure to sunlight, which is a massive plus. It’s also a nice thing that the flume is wide and long, measuring 9 feet 3 inches. This is also great in many ways at more sliding length directly or indirectly translates to much more fun. The fume’s width also makes the slide much more convenient for adults. The height of the slide is also not bad, as it measures seven feet, which provides you with a lot more velocity. Of course, sliding without water is impossible, so this slide comes with a high-volume water delivery system.

Designed to be connected to a garden hose, the water delivery system is of high quality and makes using this slide a lot fun. It’s also worth mentioning that the ladder is produced using aluminum, making it more durable and corrosion-resistant. For safety, both the flume and the ladder have built-in railings. On top of that, the slide is CPSC-approved, which means you have nothing to worry about. The installation is, however, where the little concern kicks in. You actually need to buy some installation hardware separately, which isn’t nice.

With the WOW Watersports Slide N Smile Waterslide, you don’t need much efforts to keep your children happy during the summer period. This slide is an excellent model that’s equipped with inflatable side railings, designed to prevent you or your kids from falling off. Also, the slide is made in bright colors, which your kids will absolutely love. Apart from that, the bright colors will enable you to easily observe what your kids are up to since the slide is highly visible. The bright colors and design apart, the slide also provides a lot of space, as it measures more than nine feet in length, six feet in width, and four feet in height.

Furthermore, this product provides different types of options and uses, as it can be set up as an on-the-water playground. Also, you can tie the slide to your dock using the two grommets on the side or the zipper connection system. While all these are great, the real spice of the story is in the weight capacity, which is rated at 350 pounds. This is the highest weight capacity on this list by a long margin, allowing you to join your kids in the fun. However, the manufacturer recommends that the product shouldn’t be used by more than four kids at a time, so you might want to keep that in mind.

Another thing you might want to keep in mind is that the inflatable water slide is vulnerable to holes and damage, so ensure you keep sharp objects away from it at all times. Besides, the slide has a slippery surface, which adds a lot more fun, but you need to regularly refill it to keep it nice and firm. It also has little tikes and inflatable slide bouncer. There are also some accessories included, which include a repair kit, a space-saving storage bag, and a heavy-duty blower. All things considered, this is the best slide for families with many kids.

If you are in the market for an all-in-one slide that can be easily set up in your backyard, then you must give the S.R.Smith heliX2 Pool Slide a serious consideration. Everything about this slide reeks “premium,” and it should come as no surprise that we’ve actually named it as our Premium Pick. In terms of construction, it has a stylish rotomolded design, which gives you slide additional durability and strength for many years of long usage. Further, the slide features 360-degree turns that are designed to take you spiraling to the bottom before splashing into the pool.

The seven-feet height of this slide is actually long, which increases the fun significantly. The runway also measures 12 feet 8 inches, which also makes things more fun-filled for your kids. Importantly, the slide also has a 250-pound weight capacity, which allows it to accommodate kids and adults of different weights. For safety, the slide also comes with handrails and a ladder to make sure that your feet don’t slip as you make the climb. However, the drawback here is that for its installation, the slide needs a substantial amount of deck space.

Overall, it needs a minimum space of nine feet by five feet for the slide to be properly installed. Meanwhile, we must not forget to mention the patented water delivery system built into this slide, which covers the slide fully with water. Apart from keeping the slide cool, this will also make it sleek enough for users. The runway is also extra deep, thereby protecting users from flying off. The product is also backed by a three-year warranty, but its assembly is a bit difficult and requires two people, at least.

Your children like to make a big splash when swimming in your pool, and the S.R. Smith Cyclone Pool Slide allows all that and even more. Despite being a little shorter than most S.R. Smith models, this fantastic slide packs all the stunning features often found on slides from this company. It doesn’t only come with fun features, but also with effective safety features like an enclosed ladder, doesn’t have many exposed metals, and has built-in handrails. It’s also great that this slide can be used for chlorine and saltwater pools without you needing to worry about corrosion.

Furthermore, the pool has an incredible water delivery system, which is connected through a garden hose. It’s also worth mentioning that the slide comes in multiple colors, so you’d pick the color that’s perfect for your backyard. The slide also accommodates children and adults of up to 175 pounds and it completely adheres to the CPSC safety standards, making it safe to use. Another nice thing about the pool is that a small deck can accommodate it, which is because of its size. On top of that, it’s designed for budget-conscious pool owners, so you don’t need to worry about the price.

The slide comes with a seven-feet long flume, which can be utilized for standard pools. And installation and assembly are easy and completely straightforward, thanks to an included installation manual that comes with the purchase. S.R. Smith is a reliable brand, and the three-year warranty they included with this purchase signifies it. Besides, it has a rotomold design, which guarantees optimum durability. However, the only little stain we found with this pool slide is that it’s only designed for inground pools.

If you are in the market for an exciting ride in an exciting slide, you may look at the FibroPool Full-Sized Swimming Pool Slide. While it can hardly stand any comparison with any of the S.R.Smith models, it’s a decent slide that promises to keep your children happy and excited during the summer holidays. With its six-feet height and ten-feet flume length, this pool slide has been designed to double or maximize the fun you and your kids will have. Its 200-pound weight capacity also makes sense, as it means it can accommodate a wide range of people.

In terms of aesthetics, you’ve got to give some credit to the manufacturers of this slide, as they have designed this slide in such a way that it will improve the looks of your backyard and your pool. It also boasts a right curve design, which exudes elegance. It’s also worthy of note that this slide includes different accessories such as sprayers, adapters, and hose clamps. It also includes surface mount anchors, which help aid installation. On top of that, all the stainless-steel hardware included are built to stand tough against the element.

However, despite everything included, it’s still a bit surprising that installation is still a bit difficult. Apart from the fact that the included instructions are poor, the holes are also mis-drilled and do not align, which makes installation difficult and time-consuming. Also, while there are many accessories and hardware included in the package, most of them are things you don’t actually need, so you may still need to spend more money on hardware.
