Tips on Buying a Pool Cover Pump
Before purchasing a pool cover pump, there are a few things you will want to consider. Finding the right pump for you could save you money, and ensure you have all your cover pump needs met.
First, you should consider what you needs are. The size of your pool and the cover of you pool will be a determining factor in what type of pump you need.
Another thing to consider is how quickly you need the job done. Do you need a pump that will remove the excess water within a couple of hours, or would having the job done in several hours, possibly even days suffice. One limiting factor is your budget. If you are only willing to spend a certain amount, you may be able to find a pump, but it just might not work quite as quickly as you would like.
One important feature you will want on your pump is a filter. This will keep leaves and other debris from preventing your pump from functioning properly.
In order to determine how fast the efficiently the pump will work you will want to consider the gallons per hour (GPH) at which it operates. Some pumps work as quickly as 1800 gallons per hour.
Some pumps are also computerized. They are meant to be left on the cover for long periods of time and can detect when the water level reaches too high. Once detected the pump will start removing the water. A Rule pool cover pump is one example of a pump that does this.
One great way to do price comparisons is by using the internet. You can also purchase your pump this way. If you aren’t comfortable purchasing the pump online you can try Sears, Walmart, or Home Depot, to name a few.

I was looking at a Rule pump (Little Giant and Economy pool cover pumps also) when I read your article. Since my pool cover is left on for extended periods of time during the winter, an automatic computerized pool cover pump was what I was looking for. One that’s simple and easy to use and does the job automatically.
