Intakes for pool water features unsafe! How to fix?

My IG pool has two water features - a waterslide and a waterfall - both are meant ot be used while the pool is in use, and both take their water from the pool. The problem is, they have powerful intakes right near the waterline that could catch a person's skin - for an adult it would be painful, but for a small child it could be very dangerous. I've searched the web for some sort of intake cover that would allow it to function safely (like a screen), but no luck. If anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
