Description

Bring More Fun to Your Backyard Pool

Turn your backyard swimming pool into everyone's favourite place to be with the S.R. Smith Typhoon Pool Slide. Featuring a sweeping left-hand curve, a flowing water ride and a stylish Grey Granite finish, this full-sized swimming pool slide is designed to bring plenty of excitement to family pool time.

Standing 2.2 metres tall with a 3-metre-long sliding flume, the Typhoon delivers the fun of a larger pool slide while taking up less deck space than some of S.R. Smith's bigger models.

Its durable construction, enclosed ladder and integrated handrails make it a practical addition to suitable in-ground swimming pools. Whether you're upgrading an existing pool area or planning a new backyard setup, the Typhoon is designed for years of outdoor enjoyment.

Why Choose the S.R. Smith Typhoon Pool Slide?

The Typhoon is a great choice for pool owners who want a full-sized water slide without needing an enormous poolside area.

Its curved design creates an enjoyable ride into the swimming pool, while the built-in water delivery system keeps water flowing down the sliding surface.

Unlike lightweight temporary pool slides, the Typhoon is a permanent deck-mounted model manufactured from durable rotomoulded polyethylene. The enclosed ladder, moulded handrails and textured steps have been designed with user safety in mind.

The Grey Granite colour also provides a modern, neutral finish that works well with a variety of pool surrounds and outdoor entertaining areas.

A Curved Pool Slide Built for Backyard Fun

There's something about having a water slide that makes the swimming pool even more inviting.

The Typhoon features a sweeping left-hand curve that adds a little more excitement than a straight slide. Its approximately 3-metre flume gives swimmers an enjoyable ride before entering the pool.

The integrated water delivery system helps keep the sliding surface wet during use, with a maximum flow capacity of approximately 75 litres per minute.

Water can be supplied through a suitable pool return line or connected to a garden hose, depending on your installation.

Durable Construction for Outdoor Use

The S.R. Smith Typhoon is manufactured from sturdy rotomoulded polyethylene, providing a durable structure designed for outdoor swimming pool environments.

Its moulded construction helps create a smooth sliding surface, while the Grey Granite finish gives the slide a contemporary appearance that complements many backyard pool designs.

The Typhoon is also designed for use around saltwater swimming pools, making it suitable for many Australian residential pool setups.

Enclosed Ladder and Integrated Handrails

Getting to the top of the slide is an important part of the design.

The Typhoon features an enclosed ladder with moulded-in handrails, allowing users to maintain a secure grip while climbing.

Its integrated steps provide access to the top of the slide without the exposed ladder arrangement found on some other designs.

The Typhoon is designed to meet the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's swimming pool slide safety standard. Correct installation, appropriate pool depth and adult supervision remain essential.

What We Like About the Typhoon Pool Slide

What we really like about the Typhoon is that it offers the excitement of a full-sized pool slide without taking up as much room as some of the larger models.

The curved flume adds to the fun, the enclosed ladder is a thoughtful design feature, and the Grey Granite finish looks great beside a modern swimming pool.

It's also handy that the water delivery system can be connected to either a suitable pool return line or garden hose, giving you some flexibility when planning the installation.

For families wanting to make more use of their backyard pool, the Typhoon is certainly an addition worth considering.

Is the Typhoon Pool Slide Right for Your Swimming Pool?

The Typhoon is designed for in-ground swimming pools with sufficient surrounding deck space, suitable water depth and the correct clearance around the slide exit.

You'll need approximately 3.5 metres by 1.2 metres of deck space, although the exact installation footprint and slide positioning must be checked against the manufacturer's installation drawings.

This listing is for the left-hand curve, so it's important to make sure the direction suits your pool layout. The curve direction is determined when looking down the slide from the top towards the pool.

Before purchasing, we recommend checking your pool dimensions, water depth, deck construction and installation requirements to ensure the Typhoon is suitable for your property.
