Modified Cover for Hayward Super Pump for Closing Swimming Pool

Here is what I have put together. Purchased a Cyclone. This will be my first year closing and it will be done in about 2 weeks. Draining water below skimmer, but not below the returns.

You have to figure out a way to push air through the system. Please read sticky in the pool closing section.

Has anyone had any luck with making a modified cover for a Intelliflow pump? My cover has ridges underneath that I think will prevent the SP1023 from fitting properly, any thoughts would be great before I buy all necessary parts.

This is a really good question. If you don't find another answer, I would use a Dremel and cut out enough ridges in the center for the SP1023, then drill for the SP1023. I don't think there is a reason this will not work. The Cyclone puts out high volume at low pressure. The ridges likely are not needed for this application.

Thank you I will purchase an extra cover and give it a try.
