pool cover pump
Great so far, haven't had it long, but for the time I have
it works great. I had a rule pump before that I can not
talk bad about it, although I had it, and left it out all winter
for seven years, and it worked flawlessly, but after seven
years, it just wore out. I found this one, and it's a bit heavier
weight wise, and the wind don't blow it around like the rule,
and it appears to be heavier duty then the rule, but time will
tell. There was already water on my cover when I got this one
and it drained it in no time, and it kicked on whenever water
would surround it, and when the cover was empty, it shut off
and has not come on since. I use the same one inch hose on
this one as I did on the rule, and it works great. All in all, I'm
happy I bought this one, and does a fantastic job, but you do
have to clean the leaves, and debris away from the suction
so its not hard on the pump. That's part of the longevity, is
to keep it clean, and do the same at the end of the season
and put it in the box, and back on the shelf, and your good
until next year. Don't be afraid to buy this brand, it is under
warranty should you have an issue. I forgot to tell about the
suction, we drain our pool about one and a half,feet below
the rim, and the one inch hose we use is thirty three feet long,
and this pump has no problem draining, and the water comes
out like a fire hose. The pump is made for a in ground pool
cover, but it works super good on our above ground pool.
I hope this helps for someone seriously looking for a good
pump.
