Removing water from the cover with these pumps may take up to several hours, after which time, the pump,
outlet hose and electrical cord must be removed from the cover before retracting it and then be placed back
on the cover after it is closed.
This automatic self-starting pump has been supplied with the cover in order to conform to ASTM F134-91
standards.
The intent of this standard is to require a means of removing water from the top of pool covers during the
owner’s absence, especially during the rainy seasons.
If you are going to be absent from your pool, it is advised that you arrange for a responsible person or
neighbor to periodically check the cover surface for water and remove it if needed, using the built-in
system. If you are using your cover pump, have that person make sure that it is working properly.
Note: On non-rectangular pools and top track systems you will need to sweep any appreciable water off of
the top of any part of the fabric which is resting on the deck area. Attempting to move the cover without
doing the above will severely stress and overload the system.
Note: In some extreme storm conditions, you may find it easier to leave the cover open dur ing these
times. Once that weather has subsided, return cover to the closed position. Include high winds in this condi-
tion.
Note: If the pool or spa are drained, DO NOT keep the cover on the pool, retr act completely.

A third, top-of-the-cover water removal system, which has been
supplied with your unit, is an automatic cover pump. With this
system you must attach a garden hose to the pump’s outlet side,
plug it into a standard GFCI outlet, and place it near the center of
the cover. Read the instructions supplied with the pump for assem-
bly. Be sure the outlet hose is run out of an area that has
adequate drainage away from the swimming pool. The pump is
covered under the manufacturers warranty. For service, return it
to the cover pump manufactures service center.
