So we pulled it out into the backyard and set it up. It really only took about 10 minutes to figure it all out even with it being the first time. Most of it was self explanatory!
We have actually set this up and taken it down EVERY day since it’s arrival! Now that we have the swing of it down it takes about 5 minutes from start to finish to set up. Taking it down is a bit time consuming but if you want to have it for years to come it is well worth it. The key to properly taking care of your water slide bounce house is to store it DRY. The first night we deflated it and rolled it up and it was so heavy we couldn’t lift it or fold it up properly. Since Hubby was out of town I decided to just leave it there. Hubby loves his grass though so the next day after we used it we found a simple easy way to dry it out and get it stored so you won’t ruin your grass. Simply turn off the blower motor for all of 1 minute. The sides of the pool are the first things to deflate allowing all the water to pour out. Once you get as much water out as possible simply turn it back on and let it run. The air will circulate through it and dry it out quickly. I recommend moving it off the wet grass onto dry grass so the bottom will also dry out. Once its dry simply turn off the motor, lay it flat, fold it up, and store it into the great over sized storage bag it comes with.
This is going to be a hit at my son’s summer backyard BBQ Birthday Party!
Here is a great shot of just the pool! As you can see it didn’t have much water in it at the time but once full it will come up to my little ones knee which really is the perfect depth! It takes about 30-45 minutes to fill the pool just using the 3 spray features so we now run a hose in the pool to get it started. It has two water cannons that spray out water. As you can see Daddy is spraying Gavin with one! The kids love these! The pool is a really great size and not small by any means! With this over sized pool you can have lots of fun! My kids have learned they can bring their river raft in and float around when they a break from all of the excitement! You know they won’t come out so its great that we can fit multiple FULL sized tubes or rafts in the pool!
To climb up to the top of the slide they have provided a great ladder to go up. My oldest can do this in all of two leaping climbs but the little ones uses each hole to step in and the handles are great for added support for him to get all the way up on his own easily. I like that the handles go right up to the top to help him pull himself over. The landing at the bottom is great although I’d recommend getting some sort of foot pail to keep dirt off the ladder and out of the pool water. The water sprayer at the top of the slide doesn’t come close to the ladder so you don’t have to worry about it being slippery!
