Can this slide be used for above ground pools?

Don't believe so, it would have to be elevated above the lip of the above ground pool, and then the pool would have to be at least 4' deep. The restrictions on this slide pretty much recommend ONLY on pool decks. I have mine mounted on a floating raft that I can move to deep water.

No, it is not for above ground pools. The slide is very heavy. However, if you have a very sturdy/permanent deck that surrounds the pool at the height of the top of the pool it would work once bolted to the deck.I wouldn't do it though, especially of the pool is smaller that 20ft. in diameter, the person sliding world and up crashing into the wall.

Probably not. Unless you have cement pads that are as high as the pool walls.

If mounted on a deck i dont see why not but I would fear the depth not being deep enough and hitting bottom. You may want to verify with company.

Maybe it "could" be if one had very strong and wide decking surrounding the pool and sufficient water depth, but I don't think it should be. Personally I wouldn't feel safe climbing it unless it was bolted into concrete or stone.

The site is sloped but I have been able to rack the slide off the site. It's not ideal but it will work.

Yes it works well with a 4 foot deep pool. Our Grandkids love it, the slide is really fast for being so little. Our slide is attached to a deck surrounding an above ground pool.

I also needed it to work on a 5 ft platform. I have pea gravel on the playground so I basically placed more pea gravel at the foot of the slide raising it to the level that works. If you do not have the means to do something similar I wouldn't recommend this slide for a 5 ft platform.

Since the cover just floats on the top of the water, I don't see any reason it wouldn't work as well on above ground pools. Ours decreased our bill to heat by at least 50%, and stopped evaporation loss.

I wouldn't try using this pool vac in an above ground. It's extremely heavy and large and will probably tear your liner. I have a concrete inground and I've noticed some chipping in my concrete which could've come from the vacuum, but not sure. Get a vacuum specially designed for above ground swimming pools. Good Luck!

I use it on an inground pool and it works great. Do not know of it will work well with an above ground pool.

I'm not sure if it will work in an above ground pool. However, on the vertical walls of our in ground pool, it climbs and does its work very, very well. It does an exceptional job on the bottom and we are very pleased with it.

Not if the bottom of the ladder is at the same height as the bottom of the pool. The ladder would have to sit on a deck where the deck was at the top of the pool. As it sits now, the top platform of the ladder is 2" above the top ring of my above ground pool, where one side of the ladder is in the water- it straddles the top of the pool.

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.

I would think it would be if installed at the appropriate ADA height. However, please note the the slide bar is not a grab bar.

No, the slide has a "water weight" (a filled container you fill) that rests on the concrete to maintain positioning. Only the front part rests in the water. If you have a large, stable deck around the pool, perhaps it would work, but I believe it would be too dangerous.

Absolutely. Above or inground, as long as it is a chlorine pool this kit will work. Go to Trouble Free Pools for all the information you could possibly want about above ground pools. I have learned so much on the site.

Yes the deck attachments slide up and down. My deck is about 4" over the top of the pool, and I still have another foot that could be adjusted if my deck was higher.

Any vertical that can be hung can slide on this hardware. Just remember the bottom does not run on a track---unless you build one.

Yes just try not to overload the slide. The weight capacity is for.normal verticle position
