Back Yard Water Slides- How do you choose which color you want?

 
A Back Yard Water Slide, you have definitely decided that you are getting one, now how do you choose your color? Well, I guess that would depend on what your goal is. Below are some photos that may help you decide. If you just can't make a decision, give us a call and we can help.
 
 

Pictured below is our PS17L-S in Café which happens to be our most popular color. Much like in this photo, this color is great if you are looking for something to match it's surroundings. It goes well with pretty much anything.

 
Can you spot the fun in this photo? That is exactly the point. This PS29R-S in Café is another example of how well this color will blend in to it's surroundings. With the gray tones in this pool decking, Platinum would have looked great too!
 
 
Sometimes you just need color! This PS17R-S in Light Blue does exactly that. I'm not sure about you, but this slide would look very inviting on a hot summer day!
 
 
Here is another idea. This Custom PS36R-C in Beige looks amazing with the lighting selections they have made. Beautiful during the day...and at night.

Pool Water Slides - Maintenance is the key to getting the most out of your investment


 
Pool Water Slides are a growing trend in the swimming pool industry. They bring the water park to your back yard, enhance the design or your pool, and bring years of safe enjoyment and pleasure to your home. So how do you take care of them so that you can enjoy them for years to come? As with any investment, a little elbow grease can go a long way in extending the life your water slide. Your fiberglass flume sections are a lot like a new car in terms of their exposure to the elements and how they weather. Many of us wash and wax our cars routinely so that they hold value and look great. We recommend that you do the same thing with your water slide. Well, maybe not quite as often as some of you wash and wax your car, but you get what I am trying to say. CLICK HERE for this and other great tips for getting the most our of your Paradise Slide!

Safety Considerations


Listed below are some considerations that we feel Water Slide Owners should consider for the safe operation of water slides.
  • Be sure that riders DO NOT ride the water slide headfirst. Head first riding can lead to submarining and contact with the pool bottom, which can cause spinal injuries, paralysis or death.
  • Provide a means of positive lock off of the water slide structure.
  • Water Slides should have an emergency shutoff easily accessible to the slide operators.
  • Water Slides should be well lighted during evening and nighttime operations.
  • No one should be allowed to use the Water Slide with metal parts such as buckets, buttons, locker pins, safety pins, or tags attached to their bathing suits, shirts, or other wearing apparel. The gel coat finish is very hard but can not withstand direct metal contact. Repeated scratching of the surface will shorten the life of the fiberglass flume sections.
  • Mats are not required or recommended for use in the Water Slide because the slide surface is designed for body sliding.
  • Paradise Slides waterslide equipment, by design, has an intended specific use. Lack of maintenance and/or rider usage, in a manner other than the intended use for which it was designed, can result in serious injury.
