How Do I Choose A Good Swimming Pool Cover Pump?

by Tanya

My boss has asked me to find a pump for his swimming pool cover and I am looking for some guidance as to how to pick the right one?

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Tanya




Thanks for the question Tanya

The pump you get will depend on the pool you have, the size of the cover, etc...

Swimming Pool Cover Pump

There's normally five things to consider when choosing a good pool cover pump:

1. The Gallons Per Hour (GPH). If the pump is going to be used alot, you'll want to get one that has a good GPH rating.

They can range from 900 - 1800 GPH.

2. If the pump is automatic or manual. With an auto one, it senses when to turn on and off. With a manual one, you decide when to turn it on and off.

3. Power cord length. This might not be an issue because you can get an extension cord.

4. Price. They can range from around $60 to $160 and more. Obviously the more expensive kinds will be automatic.

5. Consumer reviews. You can go through a good selection at Amazon, which has pretty much everything you need.

Buy A Great Pool Cover Pump Through Amazon

Little Giant and Rule make very good pool cover pumps. If you stick with the main manufacters of pool cover pumps, I think you'll be safe.

Hope this helps and good luck.
