INTRODUCTION

DANGER –FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS, INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE

OWNER’S MANUAL MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

THE VORTEX IS DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED FOR INSTALLATION AND USE ON INGROUND

SWIMMING POOLS ONLY. DO NOT INSTALL THIS SLIDE ON ABOVEGROUND POOLS,

HOUSEBOATS, BOAT DOCKS, FLOATING DOCKS OR PLATFORMS, OR OTHER BODIES OF

WATER SUCH AS LAKES, PONDS, RIVERS, ETC. PROPER ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION, USE,

AND SUPERVISION ARE ESSENTIAL FOR PROPER OPERATION AND TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ALL NATIONAL AND LOCAL BUILDING CODES MUST BE FOLLOWED. THIS INCLUDES ANY

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR SIZE OF CONCRETE FOOTING, OVERALL HEIGHT OF SLIDE,

AND BONDING OR ELECTRICAL CODES.

CHECK INSIDE ALL BOXES AND PACKAGING MATERIALS FOR PARTS. BEFORE BEGINNING

ASSEMBLY, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND IDENTIFY PARTS USING THE FIGURES AND PARTS

LISTED IN THIS DOCUMENT. IT IS CRITICAL THAT ALL PARTS BE CAREFULLY INSPECTED BY

THE INSTALLER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION TO ENSURE THAT NO DAMAGE OCCURRED IN

TRANSIT AND THAT A DAMAGED PART IS NOT USED. PROPER INSTALLATION CANNOT BE

OVERSTRESSED. IMPROPER INSTALLATION VOIDS THE S.R. SMITH WARRANTY AND MAY

AFFECT THE SAFETY OF THE USER.

PRECAUTION: POWDER COATING IS SCRATCH RESISTANT, NOT SCRATCH PROOF. IT IS STILL

SUSCEPTIBLE TO SCRATCHING AND CHIPPING. THIS SHOULD BE PREVENTED BECAUSE

EXPOSED METAL SURFACES WILL RUST.

PRECAUTION: CONTACT YOUR POOL PROFESSIONAL TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE

ADEQUATE ACCESS TO YOUR POOL PUMP HOUSE FOR THE WATER SUPPLY. IT IS STRONGLY

RECOMMENDED THAT THE WATER LINE BE PULLED FROM THE SWIMMING POOL RETURN

LINE SO THAT THE CIRCULATED WATER IS SANITARY AND DOES NOT AFFECT THE

CHEMISTRY OF THE POOL.

INSTALLER MUST GIVE TO SLIDE OWNER: VORTEX SLIDE INSTALLATION AND OWNER’S

MANUAL, THE WARRANTY CARD, AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING SAFE AND

PROPER USE AND SLIDE MAINTENANCE.

WARNING SIGN MUST BE MOUNTED NEAR SLIDE ENTRANCE. SIGN SHOULD BE LOCATED

WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE ENTRANCE OF THE SLIDE AND MUST POINT AWAY FROM ENTRANCE

SO THAT IT IS VISIBLE AT LEAST 10 FEET FROM SLIDE.

FOR COMPLETE SLIDE SAFETY INFORMATION REFER TO THE OWNER’S MANUAL.

INSTALLED VORTEX STRUCTURAL & INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Installer to review this checklist with slide’s owner upon completion of slide installation.

1. Inspect the runway for visible cracks or tears.

2. Inspect the ladder for sharp edges, protrusions, cracks, or tears.

3. Inspect all fasteners to make sure they are fully tightened.

4. Inspect the ladder for structural stability.

5. Measure the following dimensions and compare with the manufacturer’s placement instructions listed

on pages 41 and 41.

•Measure the depth of water in front of the slide exit. (4’-6” min. Depth at a distance of 4’-6” from

exit end of slide.)

•Measure the height of the slide runway exit above the water. (20” max.)

•Measure the distance between the centerline of the slide and the edge of other pool equipment.

6. Observe the position of the exit of the slide as shown on pages 41 and 41.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Periodically inspect the vortex to assure there are no worn parts and that all hardware is properly

tightened. Replace any hardware which exhibits rust or corrosion.

2. All slide components require periodic maintenance. Clean components with a cotton cloth and a non-

abrasive soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals and disinfectants.

3. Always read the label instructions on any cleaner carefully before applying it to a surface.

4. Inspect the plumbing system for leaks. Freeze/thaw cycles may cause leaks at plumbing joints which

should be repaired prior to use.

5. Check all safety labels to insure they have not peeled or been removed. Contact S.R. Smith customer

service (800-824-4397) for replacement labels.

6. The support structure is made from steel, is primed and powder coated with a high quality acrylic

urethane finish. However, corrosion may occur depending on water chemistry and environmental

conditions. Inspect the slide on a semi-annual basis, sand and repair any surface rust. For touch-up

paint (PN # 09-819-1), contact S.R. Smith customer service (800-824-4397).

CAUTION:

BECAUSE THIS PRODUCT IS MANUFACTURED FROM STEEL, PLACEMENT ON A POOL WITH A

SALT CHLORINE GENERATOR WILL REQUIRE FREQUENT INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

DUE TO THE CORROSIVE NATURE OF THESE SYSTEMS WITH ALL STEEL ALLOYS. IT IS

RECOMMENDED THAT ALL SLIDE COMPONENTS BE RINSED DAILY WITH FRESH WATER.
