H2O Go Slide Reviews
H2O Go slides appear to be an updated version of the classic Slip and Slide. While the original Slip and Slide was a glorified piece of wet plastic, H2O Go addresses some of the problems with that original product. The original had two problems areas: starting and ending. In the 1980’s, America’s Funniest Home Videos seemed to have a home movie of someone sliding way off of one of these seemingly every week. And, while later models addressed the end of the slide, H2O Go now addresses the beginning of the slide with a “speed ramp.” This angled air-filled air wedge provides a soft landing as kids enter the sliding position. There are also dozens of small openings in which water squirts out, creating a fountain effect.
Setting up the slide requires blowing up both ends, laying out the slide, attaching a hose to the launch end, and enjoying the fun. There have been some complaints about the hose connection, which prompted the product’s Facebook page to post a video in hopes of addressing the problem. Several readers have also expressed frustration with the skimpy instructions if they encountered any problems assembling the product. As with any slide such as this, you’ll want to set it up on a soft grassy area, or it will not be a comfortable ride.
Our product researchers find that H2O Go slides are an excellent entrant in this field of toys and the price is set competitively.

Wham-O offers their own updated version of the classic Slip and Slide with the Triple Racer, which addresses the “hard ground” problem by including boogie boards on which to slide. That product also has a fountain effect and pooled landing zone. The only thing it doesn’t have that H2O Go slides has is the speed ramp which begins the slide. It is also 2 feet shorter at 16 feet long.
Epic Conclusion
H2O Go water slides provide an updated experience to the classic water slide. Its speed ramp and longer design are a welcomed inclusions, and the multiple size and price options are also a plus.

The instructions are CRAP!! The real instructions are as follows
****BLOW UP THE MIDDLE COMPARTMENT BEFORE FILLING THE OTHERS WITH WATER****
**** YOU PROBABLY WON’T NEED BOTH OF THE HOSE CONNECTIONS THAT COME WITH THE SLIDE*****
1. Clear the area of debris
2. Spread the slide out
3. The LAUNCH RAMP has 3 separate compartments. The one on the left and right you fill with the water hose, you don’t need any attachment for this, just stick the end of the hose in the hole and fill them up.
The MIDDLE COMPARTMENT you fill with AIR!! You may want to fill that compartment before you fill the others with water, ya know WHILE SITTING IN THE SHADE!!
4. Hook up the water hose to the actual slide by placing the red ring ( hose attachment) on the rubber piece that is sticking out on the left side of the slide a little ways down from the launch pad and screw your hose to it
5. Anchor the slide down
We received this as a gift for my daughter’s birthday. We set it up and she used it for about half an hour each day over the next 3 days. On the third day, the seam in the splashdown pool split open so now the product is unusable. We discarded the box after we set it up and saw that it worked, so we can’t return it. I tried calling the company but their wait times are 20+ minutes. It’s hard for me to imagine that there are 35 other people calling them all day long, but based on my experience, maybe they speak to dissatisfied customers all day long!
