Options in Water Slides for Grown Ups

Are you thinking about installing a water slide to make your pool more fun for the kids but jealous that you can’t join in on the fun?  The good news is that those slides don’t just have to be for kids, they can be for grownups too!  Here are some of the slides that you can choose from to make your pool fun and exciting for people of all ages.

Water Slides and Weight Ratings

When you think of installing a water slide for your pool, you might be thinking that you can only get ones that are suitable for kids. However, many of the slides that are available now have weight ratings of up to 115kg, enough for most adults to safely use them!  Some can even take weights of up to 220kg.  All you have to do when shopping around or your water slides is to make sure that you check the weight rating first and make sure that it is suitable for the largest adult that will be using the slide.  However, never be tempted to exceed the weight rating as this can be quite dangerous.

Water Slide Designs for Grown Ups

The good news is that most water slides are designed for kids and adults alike so there is no limitation on the style of water slide that you have. Slides can be straight for a fast experience, gently curving, twisted, or have a complete 360 degree turn for the ultimate in water slide fun.  Most slides also have a water supply system that delivers water down the slide for an even slippier slide.

Your new water slide can curve to the left or the right depending on your preferences and the layout of your pool and pool area.  Therefore, what you choose is really up to personal preference.  They also have excellent safety features including large, slip resistant stairs or ladder rungs, strong grab rails, and large flumes that contain the rider safely as they go down the slide.
