Section 5. Removing Water on Top
of the Cover
WARNING
Do not let persons or pets access or play on the cover. Water
which may have collected on top of the cover poses a potential
risk of drowning which could result in serious injury or death.
Isolated puddles tend to migrate toward a depression. Persons
or pets can create a depression in the cover that could be
large enough to collect potentially dangerous amounts of
water which can pose risk of drowning.
Standing water on top of your cover poses as great
a hazard as an open pool. You have been provided
with a submersible pump designed to reduce this
hazard by sensing water accumulation and turning
on or off automatically. Always place the pump on
the cover anytime your pool is covered.
Water accumulation on top of the cover can come
from holes or leaks in the cover, from over-spray and
misdirected sprinklers, or from rain and snow.
CAUTION
Never attempt to run the cover with water on it. Damage can occur to
the fabric and mechanism.
5.1 Placing the Pump on the Cover
Figure 3. Pump on Cover
1. Place the pump on your cover: (1) set the pump
at the side of the pool, then push it into place
with a pool brush. Or, (2) stand at the lid end of
the pool and place the pump on the cover as a
second person closes the cover.
2. Snake the Hose: Snake a long discharge hose
over as much of your cover as possible to create
a natural channel for water to flow back to your
pump (see diagram). The water will be removed

as it is channeled back to your pump. Due to
different shapes and construction styles of pools,
the occurrence of isolated puddles of water will be
specific to your cover. After you become familiar
with where the puddles usually occur, you should
be able to position your discharge hose so you
can remove nearly all the water on your cover.
3. Plug in the Pump: Plug the pump into a GFCI-
protected outlet.
After your pump has stopped and most of the
water has been removed, the pump itself should
create enough of a depression to allow continual
consolidation of water.
If you plan on being away from your pool for a long
period of time, you should find a neighbor or friend
to check your cover frequently to make sure all
standing water has been removed. Your pump can
be left on the cover all winter. The pump will freeze
into the ice without damage and it will activate itself
as the ice melts during the winter. Make sure you
keep power on to the pump and that the discharge
hose is free of kinks.
NOTE: Cover-Pools supplies a variety of pumps
depending on the size of your cover and region
you live in. Carefully follow the instructions that
have been supplied with your pump.
WARNING
In order to prevent the risk of drowning, fire or electric shock, which
could result in property damage or serious injury, including loss of life
be sure to adhere to the following:
• Plug the pump into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) -
protected outlet only.
• Do not use extension cord.
• If your pump or cord becomes damaged, replace the pump
immediately.
• Place the pump on the cover first; then plug in the pump.
• DO NOT stand on a wet surface while using the pump.
• Avoid contact with accumulated surface water on your cover when
the pump is on the cover.
• Do not use the pump for anything other than what is specified in
these instructions.
• The pump is provided with a stabilizer plate to keep it upright.
To ensure that the automatic on/off feature operates properly,
DO NOT allow the pump to tip over.
• Keep the pump clean and well-maintained at all times.
