Intex Kool Splash Inflatable Water Slide Swimming Pool Play Center with Built in Sprayers for Kids and Adults, Ages 6 and Up, Blue

Be careful this slide is huge, but with that being said, it was so much fun for my eight year-old grandchildren they had endless things they could do with the slide and it all didn’t include sliding. It’s very durable and well-made.

This new addition to our pool accessories is simply fantastic! The grandkids, who range in age from 2 to 9, are having an absolute blast with it. It offers boundless entertainment that keeps them happily engaged throughout the entire day! The quality is impressive; it features a thick, durable vinyl that ensures it can withstand all the playful splashes and excitement. Additionally, it boasts a very stable and sturdy design, making it safe for the little ones to enjoy without any worries. It's truly a wonderful investment for summer fun!

We were soooo excited to have this slide for a birthday present - looked so fun and during COVID, a great offset to not being able to have a party. Unpacked well and simple / fast to inflate with a compressor. We lad a tarp down on the concrete pool deck and then installed the slide on top. Kids had a ball and we were thrilled. After about an hour - we broke for lunch. When we returned to swimming, we noticed the right side of the slide was not as “firm” as the left. I checked the ports where you fill to be sure the knob had been tightened correctly. I added more air and tightened port knob again. We let it sit with not activity for another hour. Again, right side less full. We poured water over that side to look for an air leak. Did not find one. The only thing we can point to is perhaps a seam that does not have the same integrity as the rest.We have other products by this company (Intex) - all wonderful. We also know that there is always the chance of faulty manufacturing, which this is probably the result of. We believe the manufacturer would have stood behind the quality, but we did not purchase from the company. We purchased through a reseller. We requested a replacement. The reseller (Carter Kids) did grant the return authorization within a couple of days. We had to pay the shipping back to the company ($47.06) - shame on me for not reading the fine print. We shipped the slide back to the reseller (Carter Kids). Instead of receiving a replacement slide, they simply credited the CC $173.74. We still DO NOT have the amount of $36.84 refunded that was from a gift card on our account. (Total for the slide was $199.98 + $10.60 tax).So - no Intex slide (kids are very sad) and I am out of pocket $47.06 for shipping back to Carter Kids and $36.98 from my gift card that was on my account and $10.60 sales tax and NO SLIDE. $94.64 price tag for zero product.

When we received the slide we noticed the middle part wouldn't stay inflated. We contacted the seller through Amazon and they sent a new slide right away.There are 5 places the slide is blown up - 3 large pieces, 2 blue & 1 white and 2 smaller pieces that can be quickly blown up by mouth. It maybe took 15-20 minutes to blow up all together.My children love to play on this slide (5 & 9). We had some older kids come play and they went down the slide even faster. There is an inflated "platform" that sits on the water so younger kids can stop at the bottom. For the older kids the platform seemed to move with them so they slid right in the water. The water feature of the slide helps the kids slide down faster. There are 4 holes in the back of the slide to help the kids climb up. These holes fill up with water, so It's important at the end of the day to get the water out so it can dry. If the water stays it can get yucky. My daughter who has autism can climb up with ease using the set holes. There is another inflated platform on the side with the holes in case a child falls. This slide was hours of fun for my children. Would buy it again!

My kids and their friends love this slide. The only issue is that it only lasts about a week of use till it gets a unrepairable hole in it. Over the past few years I’ve bought 6 of these slides. The main body of the slide and sides are good and strong but the bottom tube along the front and landing pad on the back end up causing it to break. I’ve even had one rip when a child went down and the vinyl ripped when they slid down the slide. The material needs to be stronger for the main body and the front and bottom extra blow up parts need to be removed so they do not cause the rest of the slide to break.

My kids love this slide! It was a birthday present for my kids, and they have used it almost daily. It developed a hole along a seam in less than two months, so now it’s leaking, which is super disappointing. Messaged the seller to see if there are any solutions and will update if one is provided.Update: Seller was very helpful and responsive. They sent me a copy of the invoice needed to submit to the manufacturer, as this was still under the manufacturer’s warranty, along with instructions on filing the claim. The manufacturer approved the claim quickly but no longer had the product in stock. They did email me to let me know a new replacement will be shipped once back in stock. Hopefully this will arrive before summer is over!

My 10 grandchildren vary greatly in age (27 to 5). I bought this exact slide for the first bunch of kids. I lasted two summers! I bought it this year when my son, who serves in the military, got to bring his kids to Nana's house. They are 8 and 5. They were joined by some of their teenage cousins in playing in the pool and using the slide. Sorry to say instead of lasting two years it didn't even make it through 2 days. There is a leak in the white portion that I haven't been able to locate and the part where the hose goes broke and started leaking the first day.

This slide is very solid and durable. The kids loved it and made use of it daily. It does require a lot of air so a pump is key. Holds air well but needed to be refilled every few weeks. Stayed clean with simple soap wash as well. Deflated for the end of season and hopeful it stays well through the winter to next year. At the price point it’s a no brainer!
