S.R. Smith Typhoon 88 inch Left Curve Pool Slide, Sandstone
Backyard thrills, built for safety.
The S.R. Smith Typhoon Left Curve Pool Slide in Sandstone (SKU PST-67020958223, MPN 670-209-58223) turns your backyard pool into a resort attraction without overwhelming the deck. You get a full 7 foot 4 inch slide with a nearly 10 foot flume, an enclosed eight step ladder, molded handrails, and a high volume water delivery system that plumbs into your return line or hooks to a garden hose. Designed and tested for in ground residential pools, the Typhoon ships in one box and bolts to your deck for a clean, permanent install.
Resort Style Thrill Ride For Your Backyard
You get a true full sized slide that stands 7 feet 4 inches tall to the top of the handrails, with a long, sweeping left hand curve that lets swimmers carry real speed into the pool. The high volume water delivery system feeds a continuous sheet of water down the 9 foot 10 inch flume, so every ride stays slick from the seat to the exit. Adults and kids up to 275 pounds can ride, which means the whole household uses the same slide.
Engineered For Safety First
S.R. Smith builds the Typhoon to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission standard for swimming pool slides (16 C.F.R. 1207). The fully enclosed ladder uses eight angled steps and a molded grab handle so climbers never feel exposed. Wraparound handrails frame the seat, and the textured tread surface keeps wet feet planted. You get the same safety logic S.R. Smith puts into its commercial deck equipment, in a slide sized for a residential backyard.
Salt Friendly Roto Molded Build
The runway and ladder are roto molded polyethylene with UV inhibitors baked into the resin, so the Sandstone color holds up under direct sun without painting, sealing, or refinishing. The structure is salt water friendly, which matters if you run a salt chlorine generator. Stainless hardware ties the assembly together, and the deck mounted base bolts down through a standard concrete pad. Hose off, ride, and walk away when summer ends.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the left curve (670-209-58223) and the right curve (670-209-58123) Typhoon?
Both slides are identical in height, flume length, and water delivery. The left curve (PST-67020958223) sweeps to the rider's left as they face the pool, and the right curve (670-209-58123) sweeps to the right. Pick the curve that turns toward the deep end of your pool given how the ladder will sit on your deck. Both ship in Sandstone or Gray Granite.
How much deck space and water depth do I need for the Typhoon?
Plan for a clear deck footprint of 11 feet 8 inches by 4 feet 5 inches. At the slide exit, water depth must be at least 3 feet, and 4 feet 6 inches out from the exit the depth must increase to 4 feet 6 inches. The exit lip should sit no more than 20 inches above the water.
Will the Typhoon hold up on a salt water pool?
Yes. The runway and ladder are roto molded polyethylene with stainless hardware, so salt cell water does not corrode the structure. Rinse the slide with fresh water at the end of the season the same way you would any other deck equipment.
Can I install this myself?
Most homeowners can install the Typhoon with one helper using basic tools, a hammer drill, and concrete anchors, following S.R. Smith's printed installation manual. If you are unsure about anchoring into your existing deck, hiring a licensed pool installer is the safer call. Do not skip the water depth and anchoring checks, which are the safety critical steps.
Does the Typhoon need its own pool pump or can it run off the return line?
It does not need a dedicated pump. The slide is fed by either a tap off your pool's return line or a standard garden hose, delivering up to 20 GPM down the flume. Most installs use the return line so the slide is wet whenever the pump runs.
What is the weight limit and is the slide safe for adults?
The Typhoon is rated to 275 pounds (124 kg) and is sized for both kids and adults. It complies with the CPSC standard for swimming pool slides, and the enclosed ladder, molded handrails, and textured treads are sized so an adult can climb and ride safely.
Is the Typhoon approved for commercial or hotel pools?
No. The Typhoon is built for residential in ground pools only. Commercial and water park slides have to meet the ASTM F2376 standard, which the Typhoon is not certified to. For a hotel, club, or municipal pool, choose a commercial rated slide instead.
