Patent Images
1. A personal water slide specifically adapted as a self contained water slide for individual yard use comprising:
- a slide having an upper end vertically above a lower end opposite a flat upper slide surface;
a ladder affixed to said upper end for providing access to said upper slide surface;
a water pump having an intake conduit opposite a discharge, said discharge forming a first conduit connection means;
a communication conduit removably affixable to said first conduit connection means;
second conduit connection means formed at said upper end; and
a strainer integrally formed into the lower end of the slide, thereby forming a suction orifice integrally at the bottom of the slide.

Abstract
A plastic slide is provided with a pump at the bottom of the slide and placed into a pool, typically a wading pool. A strainer assembly filters out grass and other foreign matter from the water, and transfers the water through a small electrical, air, or battery powered pump to the top of the slide, where the water is released. The water then falls down the slide and back into the pool where it repeats the cycle as long as the pump is energized.
