BYOS-IM  Rev. 08/15  (SBK-BYOS INSTAL)

Inter-Fab  has  provided  you  with  a  slide  system  which  matches  the  pathway  and  spatial
requirements you provided to us as closely as possible. It is important to note however,
that Inter-Fab does not approve or accept liability for BYOS designs. All designs should be
checked  by  a  licensed  Civil  or  Structural  Engineer  in  your  state,  and  when  necessary,
inspected/approved by the applicable local governing agency. 

Inter-Fab recommends that you read these instructions and helpful hints in their entirety
before attempting an installation.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:
•  It is highly recommended that provision be made for future removal of the slide from

the substrate, if necessary.

•  The sizes of the concrete piers for the anchor supports specified herein are minimum

measurements  required  for  the  BYOS,  and  may  need  to  be  increased  due  to  local
weather, soil conditions, frost line and/or local building codes.

•  For best performance, the recommended water flow at the slide is 30 GPM.
•  Zoom Flume water delivery system requires a 1” flexible PVC hose. NOTE: A ball valve

in line is recommended for water flow adjustment.

•  Do not construct objects or formations along or over the slide pathway that obstruct

the pathway for sliders or cause potential harm to the head, arms or legs. Minimum
recommended head clearance above the slide pathway is 7 feet.

•  Minimum BYOS water envelope is 7’ wide (centered on slide) x 13.5’ long x 4.5’ deep.
•  The exit section must be installed with the correct alignment to the pool edge and should

be supported at the fiberglass landing plate. Do not exceed 20” above the water.

•  The surface of the slide is very slippery when wet, use caution when entering the slide.

Seating assist rails are recommended for the transition from standing to sitting.
