Does an inflatable water slide need to stay plugged in while in use?

Most backyard models use a constant-air design, so the blower runs the whole time kids are playing. Check the cord length against the distance to an outdoor outlet.

How do you store an inflatable water slide after the season?

Let it dry completely before folding it into its storage bag to prevent mildew. Keep it somewhere dry and away from rodents over the winter.
