We do that too! The fountain fitting in the return has a 2" nipple that you can slide a pool noodle on and hold it place with 1 hand and shoot the "firehose" with the other. The parental weapon of choice in the occasional water wars!guamguy said:The slide is great!!! A fun thing to do with the noodles is hold one end up against a return, then blast the kids with the water spraying out the other end!!! It's an endless, high-volume squirt gun!
