RIVER RUN LIABILITY DISCLAIMER

S.R.Smith recommends that you read the River Run Installation Manual in its entirety before attempting an installation. 

IMPORTANT NOTICES

•  It is highly recommended that provision be made for future maintenance and/or removal of the slide from 

the substrate, if necessary. Do not fully encase the slide in concrete or permanently fixed structure/material. 

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

or cause potential bodily injury.

•  Minimum recommended head clearance above the slide pathway is 7 feet.
•  Minimum River Run 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 alighnmenet to the pool edge with a minimum overhang 

of 3” and should be supported at the fiberglass landing plate.

•  Zoom Flume water delivery system requires a 1” PVC flex hose. For best performance, the recommended 

water flow at the slide is 20-40 GPM. Connecting a ball valve in line is recommended for water flow adjustment. 
NOTE: Connect the Zoom Flume water delivery system to water source and test for leaks or defects prior 
to final assembly/ installation. 

•  See page 16 of installation manual for River Run Care and Maintenance. 

•  FAILURE TO  INSTALL  RIVER RUN  PRODUCTS  SO THAT THE  ENTRY SECTION SUPPORT FRAME IS LEVEL, 

WILL CAUSE THE DESIGN TO EXCEED THE RECOMMENDED ANGLE OF DESCENT AND MAY RESULT IN 
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. NO INSTALLED RIVER RUN SLIDE SHOULD EXCEED 
A 20 DEGREE SLOPE. 

•  FAILURE TO INSTALL THE RIVER RUN SLIDE ANCHOR SYSTEM TO THE MINIMUM DEPTH SPECIFIED  

IN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS OR ALTERATION OF THE RIVER RUN SLIDE ANCHOR 

 

SYSTEM WILL CAUSE STRUCTURAL INSTABILITY AND MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR 
PROPERTY DAMAGE. 

•  DO NOT DRILL INTO OR THROUGH ANY RIVER RUN SLIDE SECTION OR ANCHOR OR OTHERWISE 

MODIFY.  IT WILL WEAKEN THE  PART AND VOID THE WARRANTY.
