Early start to summer fun. I had purchased this water slide during spring time in preparation for the summer because of what I experienced last year everything ran out of stock during the summer heat. We had a a few hot days in the spring in the East Coast and I to set up this water slide out for the kids to play because the pool hasn't open yet. They had so much fun running up and sliding down on this inflatable even without water. The six anchor spots I nailed down held up pretty well with all the running and the tugging on the inflatables. I had a 500watt blower and it was able to support me who is 130 lb trying to test the slides. The water spray is positioned right on top of the slide which create a slippery slope for the kids to slide down and also filled the pool beneath at the same time. The cleanup after the water slide is and has always been a very tedious process because you have to drain all the water let it dry with the blower on for a couple hours. I find one easy way to dry the inflatable is once all the water is drained I flip the inflatables to its sides where the slides wall are on the ground that way any water will drain into the wall of the water slides and will dry up easily because if there is any seepage in the pool area water won't dry as quick because they have a waterproof membrane on that area to hold the water so the only way to dry the water is by tilting it on the slide side and let any water inside the pool area to drain onto the breathable fabric and it will dry fast after a few hours. I find that is the quickest way to dry otherwise you would have to wait for a really sunny days for the sun to heat up inside to dry the water. My daughter's really enjoyed the water slide and they once play for 6 hours on the weekend really makes my money worth.
