S.R. Smith Typhoon Pool Slide – Sandstone Right Curve

Description

Bring the Fun of a Water Park to Your Backyard

Make your swimming pool the highlight of your backyard with the S.R. Smith Typhoon Pool Slide in Sandstone. With its sweeping right-hand curve, generous sliding surface and warm, natural colour, the Typhoon is a great way to bring a little more excitement to family pool time.

Standing 2.2 metres tall with a 3-metre-long flume, this full-sized swimming pool slide offers an enjoyable ride without requiring the space of some larger pool slide models.

The Sandstone finish works particularly well with natural stone paving, landscaped pool areas and warm-toned outdoor spaces. Combined with its durable construction, enclosed ladder and built-in water delivery system, the Typhoon is designed to become a favourite feature of your backyard swimming pool.

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

If you're looking for a permanent pool slide that combines a fun ride with practical design, the Typhoon is well worth considering.

Its right-hand curved flume adds an extra element of excitement, while the integrated water system keeps the sliding surface wet during use. The sturdy rotomoulded construction is designed to withstand outdoor swimming pool environments, making it a more permanent alternative to temporary pool slides.

The Typhoon also features an enclosed ladder with moulded handrails and textured steps to provide secure access to the top.

For pool owners wanting a slide that looks at home in a landscaped backyard, the Sandstone colour is a particularly appealing choice.

A Sweeping Left Curve for More Poolside Fun

The Typhoon isn't your ordinary straight swimming pool slide.

Its curved flume adds a little more movement to the ride, making it a fun addition to a backyard pool where family and friends love spending time.

With approximately three metres of sliding surface, the Typhoon offers a full-sized slide experience while maintaining a relatively compact footprint compared with larger models such as the S.R. Smith TurboTwister.

The built-in water delivery system helps maintain a flowing water surface during use, providing an enjoyable slide into the pool.

Sandstone Finish for a Natural Backyard Look

One of the standout features of this model is its Sandstone colour.

The warm, neutral finish blends beautifully with sandstone paving, travertine, natural stone and many contemporary outdoor entertaining areas.

If your backyard features earthy colours or a more natural landscape design, the Sandstone Typhoon can complement your existing pool surrounds without looking out of place.

It's a great alternative to the Grey Granite version for homeowners who prefer warmer colours around their swimming pool.

Built for Long-Term Outdoor Enjoyment

The S.R. Smith Typhoon is manufactured using strong rotomoulded polyethylene, providing a durable structure suited to outdoor swimming pool conditions.

Its moulded construction creates a smooth sliding flume, while the enclosed ladder and integrated handrails are designed with user safety in mind.

The slide is also salt pool friendly, making it suitable for many Australian residential swimming pools.

With proper installation and regular maintenance, the Typhoon is designed to provide lasting enjoyment throughout the swimming season.

Integrated Water Delivery System

A swimming pool slide is much more enjoyable when there's a steady flow of water running down the flume.

The Typhoon features a built-in water delivery system capable of supplying up to approximately 75 litres per minute.

Depending on your pool setup, the water supply can be connected to a suitable pool return line or garden hose.

This provides flexibility when planning your installation, particularly if you're adding a slide to an existing swimming pool.

Enclosed Ladder and Moulded Handrails

The Typhoon features an enclosed ladder with integrated handrails to help users climb to the top of the slide.

The moulded steps are designed to provide secure footing, while the handrails offer additional support when accessing the sliding platform.

As with any pool slide, correct installation, appropriate pool depth and clearances, and adult supervision are essential.

What We Like About the Typhoon Pool Slide

What we really like about the Sandstone Typhoon is how well it combines a full-sized water slide with a design that suits a residential backyard.

The right-hand curve makes the ride more interesting, while the enclosed ladder and built-in water system are practical features.

We also love the Sandstone colour. It's a great option for pools with natural stone surrounds or warmer outdoor finishes, where a grey slide might not suit the overall look.

For families who spend plenty of time around the swimming pool, it's an addition that can make the backyard even more enjoyable.

Is the Typhoon Pool Slide Right for Your Swimming Pool?

The Sandstone Typhoon is designed for in-ground swimming pools with sufficient surrounding deck space and appropriate water depth.

It requires approximately 3.5 metres by 1.2 metres of deck space, although the exact installation position, anchoring and pool clearances must be checked against the manufacturer's installation drawings.

This model has a right-hand curve, so you'll need to confirm that the direction works with your pool layout. The curve direction is determined when looking down the slide from the top towards the swimming pool.

Before ordering, we recommend reviewing your pool's dimensions, deck construction, water depth and available space to ensure the slide can be installed correctly.
