can this slide be used on an above ground pool?

Yes. But don't use the hardware that comes with the slide to mount it. See my review.

Ours is used on our above ground pool. We have a 52 inch deep pool. I went down it once just to see what would happen at my weight of 165. I didn't hit bottom. I don't let the kids go down head first. I am not sure if it is rated for an above ground but it works for ours. The hose that they sent with it was not very good and we had to buy a new one that was larger and longer to fit to the filter.

We purchased this slide this summer and installed on our deck for the above ground pool---FANTASTIC--of course on the smaller side but the kids love it!!!

Yes...it is the only slide that I found approved for above ground pools...considered cyclone but not approved for above ground and saw complaints about your behind sticking to slide on cyclone slide. Boomerang has water flow and is very slippery.

No it cannot be used for above ground pool. It has a base at the bottom that needs to be secured with anchour bolts.

I have an inground pool so I can't really answer ur question. Maybe it will work on ur above ground pool, not to sure.

I don't think this slide is designed for above ground pools. And 2' is not enough room.

We have a slight slope as well and it works fine. The slides are fine either way but the pool will not be an even depth. NOTE - if there isn't any water at the bottom of a slide it can be painful/dangerous to come down so be sure the slope is gradual enough that you have at least a little water everywhere.

I don't think so. My toddlers (5 and 2) on it and it seems flimsy. And the top of the slide is a small area. Just my thoughts. Hope this helps.

Hi Hillary, I don't see why not. I just asked my husband and he seemed to think it would work just fine. We actually just pulled ours out again and the kids have been using it everyday. Ours sits on the side of our pool and we have jagged edged stone and this slide has held up extremely well. This will be our second summer using it (and it does get used a lot) and it is still very durable. Hope this helps!

I installed it on my existing concrete pool deck. It requires a water connection that may be difficult to install in existing concrete. I use a garden hose when the slide is used.

Yes this can be used with any above ground pool depending on the size of your pool outlets. You may need to purchase adapters.

I see no reason you couldn't use it for an in ground pool. I'd guess you'd need to prime your system to avoid a possible air lock on your system. I have an above ground pool so all I really need to do is manipulate a few valves, but you do not have that option since your pump is higher than the water level. It's a very good pump motor... Good luck!!!

I would not try. No brakes so dangerous for in ground pool and for an above ground it could not get close enough as the legs would not spread far enough to get close.

I purchased one of these and am pleased with it... But isn't it designed for above ground pools?

Not really. If your looking to use it solo on the grass it would be a hard landing. If your looking to use it with a blow up kiddie pool, I don't see that working either. To get on the slide little kids would need help and they could hit head at the bottom. You pickup enough speed that send you at least three feet under water

I don't know if it works with an above ground pool, but the multiple times I have tried to use it on my in ground pool it stops moving after about 30 seconds. I have even tried swimming around with it. Honestly I think it was a horrible purchase and had I not thrown away the paperwork from it (lesson learned) I would have returned it and gotten my money back.

we put it on dirt at the bottom of a slide. If the ground is level, it works fine so far. It has been about a year so far

Not at all. You just lay it on the ground & put pool on top of it. It works great.

I don't see why it wouldn't. Ours works great but our pool is above ground. Recommended.

I use it in my above ground pool, however you do need a strong post or something to anchor it (preferably a few inches above the rim of the pool).
