DESCRIPTION
This portable, Auto On-Off Pool Cover pump is designed for
automatic removal of water, from a pool or spa cover. The units are
equipped with a 25 ft. 3-prong grounding type power cord and its
3/4 in. adapter can be used for convenient attachment to a standard
garden hose. This pump is not to be used to empty the pool.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION
PUMPING HEIGHT
When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has
not reached the discharge outlet can flow back through the pump
when the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in
small areas to rise enough to re-start the pump.
1. This pump has been designed with a 3/4" garden hose discharge
connection. Thread the female end of the garden hose to the
male end of the garden hose adapter.
2. Use a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose for correct
pump operation.
3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose before starting the
pump. This will help remove any kinks or binds in the hose and
allow the unit to pump with less restriction.
4. With pump unplugged set the pump on the pool cover, where
water will collect. Do not set the pump directly on mud, sand
surfaces or in leaves. For best results make sure the strainer base
is making full contact with a clean area of the pool cover. This
will allow the strainer to properly filter debris and help prevent
clogging of the pump. If necessary clear an area of the pool cover
before placing the pump. For further placement techniques see
(Figures A-E).
5. The water level must be at least 5/8 inches for the pump to prime,
and operate. Water levels less than 5/8 inches will not allow the
pump to prime, therefore no water will be moved.
6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI protected
outlet. If the water level is greater than 5/8 inches the pump
will start once plugged in. A priming delay of 2 seconds is
programmed into the control to allow time for air to escape from
the pumping chamber.
