Inflating the Fun in Water Slides



Inflatable water slides are a boon in disguise. Although they cannot substitute the fun of a water park, they are a close substitute; especially if you have young kids looking for a fun-filled time with water in summer. The best part about an inflatable water slide is the ease in storing it too. You can inflate it when required and stack it back under the table or cupboard in adverse weather conditions.

All good things come with a tinge of cons too. Unlike the fiberglass water slides in water parks, the inflatable water slides are prone to damages in the form of tiny punctures. The good news is that your “precious” inflatable water slide need not be thrown away for such punctures. 


Here are a few ways to rectify these punctures. 

·         Inflatable water slide punctures mostly work well despite having pin-sized holes. However, it is best to address the damage before they grow from a pin to a pencil. Inflatable slides often come with a repair kit, which you can use to rectify the minor puncture. 

·         Another tip is to vulcanize the hole with iron. However, too much heat can damage it further. Do not opt for this method unless you are sure. 

·          You can use duct tape to seal small holes. 

Apart from damage, faded waterslide is yet another common problem. To control the sun from robbing the glory of your inflated water slide, deflating it when not in use is the best solution. Keep it away in a cold place when not in use.
