If you own a pool, then you know how frustrating and annoying it is to pump the water off the pool cover when you get your pool ready to use for the warm summer months. Plus there is the cleaning that is needed if water has been left to sit on the cover for a long period of time and debris has been floating in it.
Hiring a pool service company to come out and pump the pool cover can cost you literally hundreds of dollars so you may want to do it yourself.
The solution to this problem is to purchase and install a pool cover pump. There are several good brands out there and included in those are Little Giant, Pumps Away and Wayne.
You can buy a number of different types of pool cover pump – for example you can buy ones that are submersible and will also pump water from the pool or ones that will just pump from the cover. You can also buy automatic or manual pool cover pumps.
The automatic pumps can be left on over the winter and they will detect when the amount of water on the pool cover reaches a certain level and the pump will turn on and remove it (down to another set level). Check the pool cover pump that you want to buy to see what the limits are on the amount of water it will detect and pump from your pool cover.
Manual pool cover pumps are just that and you will need to turn on the pump when you think the water needs removing from the pool cover. These are usually cheaper options.
