Our pool cover pumps provide homeowners with a reliable solution whenever they cover their pools for the winter. Keep Your Pool Cover Protected Year-Round Keeping your pool covered when it's not in use can save time and maintenance costs. A cover prevents debris from falling in, reduces heating costs and can even help you minimize water and chemical evaporation. However, rainwater can weigh your pool cover down quickly. That extra water's weight can compromise the cover's integrity and shorten its life span. Get the most value from your pool cover with the Star Water System Automatic ON/Off Swimming Pool Cover Pumps. This re-designed automatic pool cover pump turns on and off whenever the modified sensor detects that water is present. Specs and Capabilities The Star Automatic ON/Off Swimming Pool Cover Pumps measure 9.5 inches by 12.5 inches by 13 inches, making it a compact solution for your pool cover needs. Designed with a 1/4 or 1/3-horsepower pump, this system is capable of managing 40 gallons per minute (GPM) for performance you can trust. The pump comes with a 25-foot cord to help you use it around your property. It also has a 3/4-inch garden hose adapter so that you can attach a standard hose with ease and pump the excess water on your pool cover to a place of your choice. The pump is thermally protected. This machine is also equipped with a check valve, which ensures water can only flow in one direction for more efficient operation. While designed to remove water from pool covers, this system can drain a variety of other surfaces as well. Use the pump to remove excess water from your boat cover, window wells, spa or rooftop. Automatic Pump If rainwater weighs down your pool cover for extended periods, that pressure can lead to rips and tears. Once your cover shows this damage, it's less effective at keeping debris out, maintaining the water's temperature and reducing evaporation. Regularly using a pump prevents costly repairs or having to replace your entire cover. A manual unit requires you to turn the pump on and off after a storm and keep a close eye on your pool cover. This automatic system is designed with a premium water sensor. The pool cover pump will turn on when it senses 2 inches of water and shut off when the level is below 0.4 inches. This configuration ensures your unit prevents moisture from building up and conserves energy when the cover is dry. With the modified sensor switch, you can keep your pump out on your cover — while having peace of mind knowing that it will do the work for you. Durable and Efficient With this pool cover pump for winter use, you'll experience exceptional durability and efficiency. Designed with an energy-efficient motor, this unit can pump water out fast. It features a removable strainer base that easily filters out debris and keeps the pump from clogging, ensuring it stays running consistently. If you notice the pump moving water more slowly, you can disconnect the pump from its power source, remove the strainer and clean any debris to improve flow. The strainer base helps keep the pump upright when it's in use. Because the pool cover pump is designed to be submersible, it can easily handle all kinds of demanding water removal tasks. Long-Lasting Design Star Water System Automatic ON/Off Swimming Pool Cover Pumps are made with corrosion-resistant thermoplastic construction. What's more, this equipment is thermally protected for year-round use. With this durable design, you can count on the pump to withstand daily use and last winter after winter. The check valve ensures the pump runs efficiently, and the automatic sensor prevents your unit from running more than it needs to, extending its life. We recommend using a discharge hose no longer than 50 feet for the best performance and longest life span. Easy to Install For ease of use, the Star Water System Automatic ON/Off Swimming Pool Cover Pumps feature a quick and simple installation process that takes as little as five minutes. Make sure that the snap-on strainer is lined up with the pump base. Then, attach either a 1 1/4-inch rigid pipe (not included) or garden hose adapter (included) to the pump discharge valve. Be sure the pump is upright and plug it into a grounded GFCI 115C outlet using the included 25-foot power cord. The pump will automatically turn on when it detects over 2 inches of water.
