    that stainless would get really too hot to slide on without water in summer. I did similar on our fibreglass one when kids were young: mine had micro water jets at the top sides to avoid injury & good dispersion.

    Say Whaaat? We used to tie the hose to the top and let it run...whaat-er slide. Got to be an expensive slide.

    So, it looks like there are 2 hoses and a drain if I am seeing this right... so, did they just weld a chamber to the bottom of the slide and pump water into it (presumably to the top) and rely on gravity / pressure for the drain? It doesn't look like a misting or flood-system (the mulch is too tidy below the slide for that).
