Above Ground Swimming Pool Sump Pump for Water Removal

AF1973: I bought this on Oct 21, on Nov 22 it died. The pump worked fine in the beginning, I brought it out after a rain storm to get water off my pool cover and it stopped working. I’m one day outside my return window with Amazon, so now I’m stuck. I tried cleaning out it out, making sure there was no trapped out and all the other tips and tricks. It seems the motor is just dead. I would spend a few extra and get a decent pump that will last more than a month.

Matthew F.: I used this to drain my pool for winter stprage. It's not the fastest thing in the world, but it did the job.

KateKate: I have an 18’ round above ground pool that I used a solid cover for the first time when closing my pool for the winter. I have never needed to pump water due to me using a mesh cover or simply leaving the pool uncovered all winter. To avoid putting too much stress on the frame of my pool from all the rain and snow we get here in Ohio, I decided to buy this inexpensive little cover pump to pump excess water off the cover and not have to do it manually. For the money, I am very happy with it. I have a “pool pillow” in the center of my pool under the cover (I also reviewed it on Amazon), which creates a “moat” of water around the pool on top of the cover, making it much easier to pump water with less stress on the pool frame.

One thing this pump does not do is suck all the water from one spot on the cover. It is not powerful enough. I have to move it around after each area is sucked dry. It is super easy to assemble (I use the little cheap hose it came with) and the cord is long enough to move around the entire perimeter of the pool. If there is a LOT of water, the pump will sometimes stop sucking in water after a couple hours. My guess is it probably does that so it...

Steve Reedy: This thing is awesome ! My only issue is keeping the little bits out of the impeller. Tapping the housing usually helps. Very good value !
Would also be awesome if it had an automatic shut off when the water got too low. Not a big deal. Works great !

JulieJulie: This pump works great. It does have quite a bit of power. However, with the hose provided it took quite a while to empty my pool cover. It does have an adapter to attach a garden hose so it might go faster. I did not try that because I didn't want to use my regular hose and get dirty water in it. I have an 18ft. round above ground pool and I wouldn't recommend trying to empty a pool with it. You'd need a way bigger pump for that. What's really nice is you can also use it for another purpose. I bought fountain attachments and made a fountain using this pump.
