The WOW Cascade Pool Slide is an inflatable water slide designed for domestic in-ground swimming pools, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its primary function is to provide a fun and safe sliding experience into a pool.

Function Description:

The slide is designed to sit on the edge of a pool deck, with the water surface no more than 12 inches (30 cm) below the deck surface, ensuring the float of the slide touches the water. Users slide feet first down the inflatable surface into the pool. The slide features water ballast chambers that are filled with water to provide stability and prevent shifting during use. A garden hose can be connected to a sprayer valve to adequately wet the sliding surface, enhancing the sliding experience. The product is not a lifesaving device and should not be used as a personal flotation device. It emphasizes safety through strict rules, including single-person use, feet-first sliding, and adult supervision, especially for children.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Product Name: Cascade Pool Slide
• Model Numbers: 22-WSL-4016-SC, 22-WSL-4325-SC
• Approximate Inflated Size: 97 in x 57 in x 45 in (246 cm x 144 cm x 114 cm)
• Maximum Capacity: 1 person
• Weight Limit: 200 lbs / 90 kg
• Recommended Age: Not recommended for children under six years of age. Use only with mature, knowledgeable adult supervision.
• Material: PVC (as indicated by storage instructions regarding cold temperatures and cracking)
• Inflation: Requires an air pump or foot air pump; not recommended to use high-pressure air compressors. Inflation should be firm to the touch but avoid over-inflation to prevent seam strain.
• Water Ballast: Features water ballast chambers for stability.
• Water Connection: Includes a sprayer valve for garden hose connection to wet the sliding surface.

Usage Features:

• Assembly: Requires two or more adults for setup; no tools required.
• Inflation Process: Involves inflating the middle main body first, followed by the top right and left pontoon rails, and finally the end bumper chamber. All valves must be closed and secured properly after inflation.
• Placement: Must be placed on a flat and level surface at least 6.5 ft (2 meters) away from any structures or obstructions. The slide should be positioned in the deep end of the pool, ensuring the slide exit is free from obstructions. The distance from the deck to the water surface must not exceed 12 inches (30 cm), and the end bumper chamber must touch the water surface.
• Stability: Water ballast chambers on the bottom front left and right parts of the slide must be filled with water to ensure stability. It is crucial to drain these chambers before attempting to move the slide.
• Sliding: Designed for feet-first sliding only. Users should be positioned in the center of the sliding surface.
• Safety Rules:
  • Only 1 person on the slide at a time.
  • Adult supervision is mandatory, especially for children.
  • Never dive or jump onto or from the product.
  • Never slide head first or backwards.
  • Do not walk or run up the slide.
  • Always wear a properly fitted life jacket (PFD) approved by your country's agency (e.g., USCG Type III, ISO).
  • Never place any body part through handles.
  • Ensure the landing zone in the pool is clear of people or obstructions before sliding.
  • Do not climb up the slide from the water.
  • Do not use under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • Do not stand on top of the product or rock it from side to side.
  • Avoid using the slide while wearing or holding sharp objects that could puncture it.
• Environmental Considerations: Locate the slide out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of scalding. The air inside the slide will expand with temperature increases, so inflation levels should be double-checked throughout the day.

Maintenance Features:

• Cleaning: Can be cleaned using soap and water or mild detergent. Strong cleaning agents should be avoided.
• Drying: Must be completely dry before storage to prevent mildew and rot.
• Deflation: To deflate, simply unfasten all valves from the base.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing in areas of extreme temperatures (below 40 degrees F or excessive heat) to prevent damage to the PVC material (cracking in cold, expansion in heat). It is recommended to remove some air from the product when not in use and store it in a shaded area to prevent air expansion and potential damage to seams and I-beams. Precautions against animals and rodents should also be taken.
• Inflation Monitoring: Proper inflation is crucial for optimum performance and durability. The cover should be taut with few wrinkles. An adult kneeling on the product should barely sink into it if properly inflated. Under-inflation can void the warranty. Inflation levels should be checked and adjusted each time the product is used.
• Repair: The package includes 1 repair patch.
• Warranty:
  • Duration: 1 year from the date of purchase for products purchased inside the U.S.A. (limited to 90 days for products purchased outside the U.S.A.).
  • Coverage: Covers defects in material and workmanship for normal recreational purposes.
  • Exclusions: Rental/hire use, over-inflation/under-inflation, snags/tears/cuts/punctures during normal use, accidents, fading from sun/weathering, misuse, abuse, neglect, and improper storage.
  • The warranty is in lieu of all other warranties, and the manufacturer is not responsible for incidental and/or consequential damages.

Additional Information:

• The product manual includes a "Release of Liability" statement, which users agree to by assembling and inflating the product.
• The product may expose users to chemicals such as Diisononyl Phthalate (DINP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, as per a WARNING label (www.P65Warnings.ca.gov).
