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

Big hit with the grandkids. Only use about 5 weeks a year. After one year, got a hole due to rough pool deck but patch seems to be doing well. I believe good value for the money. We barely turn on the water or it over-shoots the slide. Easy to inflate and deflate with shop vac. We have even been able to put it back into its original box for storage.

My kids LOVED this toy!

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.

My kids absolutely love this slide. It is extremely durable. My kids and their friends abused this and it stood up very well without and damage. The set up was very easy as well. My yard has full sun all day and the colors don't fade.

I bought this for my two grandchildren ages 7 and 5 to be able to slide into the pool. This slide does not come with a tool to help blow it up so we used a leaf blower and it only took minutes to blow it up. There are two smaller things to blow up so we used a small air pump. Overall my grandchildren loved the slide and had lot's of fun! They loved the water sprinklers at the top of the slide! However, I did not like them as much because it gets a little messy with the water flowing on the concrete into the yard. That is a small complaint since the kids liked it so much. I would recommend it!

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 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.

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.
