Pool Slide Facts – Basic Information

Every pool should have a slide, regardless of whether they are in ground or above ground pools. There are several pool slide facts that customers should consider when they are selecting a slide and most pool companies will help you with your decision and provide the information you need to know. Always purchase a slide with a cover that will protect it during bad weather and during the winter months. A little known fact is that over time UV rays will age slides. Covering the slide with a slide cover for pools will extend it's life by many years.

Another pool slide fact, that should be included in your information sheets that come with the slides, is to position the slide so that a person using the slide lands in the deep end of the pool. Info provided with the slide documents will also provide information regarding the depth of the pools that is necessary for safe use of the pool and the slides. Steep fast slides will make the user plunge deeper into the pool so it is important to make sure that the pool is deep enough for the slide you are selecting. Check the facts with each of the slides to make sure that they are safe with your pool.

One other fact that buyers should consider when purchasing a slide for their pool is ladder safety. All ladders should come with non-slip steps and sturdy railings to hold on to when someone is climbing the ladder. Slips and falls from the ladder can be quite painful and ruin the fun your family will have around the pool.
