Blast Zone Hydro Rush - 19'x11' Inflatable Water Slide+Blower - Splash Area - Water Cannon - Climbing Wall

I'll keep the praise brief: If you have kids or grandkids in your family, BUY THIS. The only caveat to that is, you- or SOMEONE- must be physically able to manage the breakdown and storage the next day. We bought this in 2018 and it never fails to provide hours and hours of joy for our grandkids. The best part is, they stay out of our hair and don't whine and complain during summer family backyard parties! Ok, that should describe my satisfaction with this product. The only reason I'm even writing this is because I was searching through old orders to repurchase a computer monitor arm, saw this and wanted to share my thoughts. Now on to some friendly advice: 1. BUY THIS! 2. Get a large plastic tub to store it in. 3. When the kids are finished using it, get it off the grass ASAP! Can't stress this enough. If you leave it in the yard overnight, your grass will die. Unplug it, drag it onto the driveway/deck/porch/patio, and let it sit overnight deflated. Your grass will be fine if you do this. 4. Inflate it the next day somewhere off the grass, sweep down the grass and dirt, rinse with water, then with blower running just let it dry for several hours. We tilt it up and clean the underside too. Get ALL of the water off the surfaces and out of the nooks and crannies. 5. Once dry, deflate, fold carefully and store in the tub. 6. BUY THIS! The above steps will prevent mold. We've ALWAYS made sure to store it dry, and NEVER had one SPEC of mold or any other issues whatsoever. Just don't be LAZY! Breakdown and storage is the hard part, but absolutely worth it! Even our older grandkids are still using it and loving it. We've owned this for five years and never had one minute of trouble with this unit, very well built and tons of fun. Definitely would buy again. Finally... did I say BUY IT!!? :-)

My almost 12 year old twin boys LOVE this so much! One twin has autism and is awkward on his feet (toe walks ALOT and hand flaps) but loves water and slides. They can't accommodate to children with disabilities at our nearby Aquatic park where my hubby takes our other twin son that does not have autism. So this year, I brought something home for our autistic twin son's birthday that HE CAN enjoy and in a safe private way. AND he loves to share this with his twin brother as well (his only best friend). They both love it tremendously! One is 102 pounds, the other 98 pounds - each takes a turn down the slide one at a time. It took a bit for our autistic son to learn how to climb up and go down but once he learned (after watching his twin brother) they were unstoppable and had an absolute blast for over 4 hours the first day I put this up! They do have a 12 foot diameter by 36 inch high pool but this breaks up the fun over summer so they both are entertained and getting fun without getting bored doing the same thing. I bought this through Amazon Prime Warehouse deals (new, unopened boxes) but they forgot to include the 9 stakes that hold this down and the patch kit so I am on the hunt for what to do. Water holds this down but when you turn off the blower that inflates this wonderful pool/ slide , things can get blown around even here in Portland, Oregon. Other than the problem of finding where to obtain the stakes for the inflatable item (2 stakes were included for the blower in the sealed box) and the patch kit that I hope we will never need, this is one of the most awesome Birthday Presents that I could ever buy for our autistic twin son. AND he can share this with his twin brother too! They had such a blast with this today! UPDATE: I called the company that manufactures this awesome item and they quickly sent out the missing stakes and patch kit! Such excellent customer service! BIG NOTE: USE Pipe wrap where the garden hose connects to the sprinkler AND on the spray gun. This helps prevents leaks and puts water where you need it most, in the pool area. ALSO I found a way to empty the pool without wasting the water. First I turned off the water to the Hydro Blast. I have a 1/6 HP Submersible Utility Pump 1350 GPH (bought from Harbor Freight) that I have hooked up to our home made Solar heater panel for our pool. I just disconnected it from the solar panel/ pool and put it inside the Hydro Blast pool area. I then attached a garden hose to the utility pump, plugged in the utility pump and used the Hydro Blasts pool water to water my flower/ vegetable garden around our entire front and side yard. It worked like a charm and watered where I needed it, not all over the grass as we usually let go brown in the summer. It only took about 15 minutes to empty the Hydro Blast. I then unplugged the air blower and covered the Hydro Blast with a tarp topped with a few bricks to hold down the tarp. So easy to put up and take down and found a great way to make use of the water!
