Slide H2O recirc question

[KirstenHW]

I KNEW there had to be a solution out there somewhere - thanks!! What brands of slides do you both have? Do either of you have pics of the setup I can take a look at?

I just installed an x-stream slide this past weekend. I have an IG pool.
I put a three way valve in the return line just after the filter to feed the slide. I used a valve, which is more expensive than a T fitting, so I could adjust the flow to the slide. From the valve I ran 1" flexible PVC over to the slide. This worked for me although I still have to figure out a good way to disguise the ugly white hose. I also put an ON/OFF ball valve at the slide high enough so only adults can turn it on and off.

Hope this helps

Thanks! I emailed InterFab on the part that mschumak referred to, but they said they don't have a return line fitting, that they require running a line off the pump as well. Then a dude at Leslie's Pools told me yesterday top get a threaded piece of PVC at Home Depot and run it up that way. I'd really like to see an image of the T-fitting - as well as the line direct from the pump. The hose assembly that came with the slide has a valve at the end of it, so at least there's one less thing I need to get.
