The FibroSlide is a residential inground pool slide designed for recreational use. It is a fiberglass slide that requires a minimum of two people for assembly and installation.

Function Description:

The FibroSlide provides a fun and engaging way to enter an inground swimming pool. Water is delivered to the slide surface via a sprayer system to ensure a smooth and lubricated descent. Users slide down the flume into the pool, with specific safety guidelines in place to prevent injury.

The minimum water depth under the exit of the slide is 3 feet, increasing to 4 feet at point A (4 feet 6 inches from the back wall of the pool). This 4-foot depth must be maintained for 9 feet along the centerline of the slide from point A. The water depth profile must extend a minimum of 3 feet 3 inches on either side of the centerline of the slide.
Material: Fiberglass components for the slide flume.
Anchoring: Requires anchoring to a deck or appropriate surface using provided leg anchors and ladder anchors.
Water Delivery System: Includes a tube, valve, adapter, nozzle, and clamp for water lubrication.

Professional Repair: If any part is loose, damaged, weakened, or broken, the slide should not be used until it has been inspected and repaired by a competent professional familiar with pool slides.
Cleanliness: Lay a clean blanket, bubble wrap, or cardboard beneath fiberglass components during assembly to prevent scratching.
Sealant Application: A continuous bead of sealant is applied to the connecting faces of the flume sections during assembly to ensure a watertight seal.
Fastener Quality: Use high-quality fasteners for installation and ensure all anchors are tightened well.
Water Supply Adjustment: Adjust the water spray to ensure proper lubrication without losing too much pool water.
Winterization: Plumbing lines should be drained in winter months to prevent freeze expansion damage.
