Pool Cover Pump

[Gary R]

Happy Holidays To All;

Read several threads about pool cover pumps without any real conclusion about what's best. Will be away from the pool for a month during January and February so I'm looking for a pump that can be left on the cover during some harsh weather. Just wondering if their are any current suggestions for a pool cover pump that would allow for wintry weather.

Thank for any help!

Regards,

Gary R.

The Rule 1800 and Wayne 57729-WYNP cover pumps can both be left in the pool even when it is well below freezing. I find the Rule 1800 is more stable, the Wayne 57729-WYNP tends to fall over. In my experience neither one seems to last more than two seasons.

Don't know where you are at but I assume you mean harsh as in cold and snow and ice. I am in central Illinois and have had a Rule 1800 for several years. I got 3 years out of my original and bought a new one off of fleabay at a good price. Zero complaints from me. I always position near the edge so it can pick up water when it thaws.

This guy has a cheaper (albeit not automatic) option

Looks like the Rule cover pumps are no longer being made:

Looks like the Rule cover pumps are no longer being made:

None the less they are still in stock at a wide variety of merchants at reasonable prices.

Yikes. I am going to jump on eBay and pick up an extra one.
