FAQ
What does "right hand entry" mean for a pool slide?
Right hand entry means that when you are standing at the top of the slide looking down the flume toward the pool, the ladder is on the right side. This determines how the slide is oriented relative to your deck and pool edge. Be sure to consider your pool's deck layout and the available space (12ft 5in x 6ft 4in required) before selecting right or left hand entry. A left hand entry version is also available.
Is this slide compatible with a saltwater pool?
Yes - the Rip Tide is specifically designed to be salt water friendly. Its roto-molded construction and materials are resistant to the corrosive effects of salt chlorine generator systems, making it a great fit for modern saltwater pools.
Does the Rip Tide require professional installation?
Assembly and installation are required. Global Pool Products provides a detailed Assembly and Installation Guide, a Stub Up Guide, and assembly videos to assist. Due to the size and nature of a deck-mount pool slide, professional installation by a qualified pool contractor is strongly recommended to ensure safety and proper anchoring.
What is the maximum weight limit for the Rip Tide slide?
The Rip Tide has a maximum weight capacity of 275 lbs (124 kg). Adult supervision is required at all times when children are using the slide.
How much water flow does the slide require?
The Rip Tide requires a maximum of 25 gallons per minute (GPM) of water flow. You will need to connect the enclosed 1-inch plumbing to your pool's circulation system or a dedicated pump to supply water to the slide flume. Refer to the Technical Sheet and Stub Up Guide for specific plumbing requirements.
Can I add LED lighting to this slide?
Yes - optional LED Ladder Lighting is available as an upgrade. To order the LED version, add "-LED" to the end of the final part number when placing your order. This adds a great ambiance feature for evening pool use.
