Pros: none
Cons: was very very slow.
"Purchased this above ground cover pump in October. The 1st time I used it, it was very slow, I used a piece of garden hose and ciphoned water from the other side faster than this pump worked. Sent it back for the next size up; haven't used it yet."

Hubby is in love with this pump,

from Cape Cod Mass.
Pros: toss it in, plug it in for a minute or two, unplug and forget!
Cons: could really use an extra filter
"This little pump is a great addition to our winter close up. So much easier then the old suck on the end of the garden hose method and uses almost no electricity because you can unplug it as soon is the water starts flowing. We have pine needles so the filter does need tending to once in a while but all and all a very good purchase."

Excellent little cover pump!,
Date:August 10, 2007
By JCK60
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None
"This little cover pump has made my year round pool maintenance much easier.
You only have to attach a cheap garden hose to it, place it in the accumulated water on pool cover and initially plug it in to the electric outlet to just get it started pumping. I found that I could unplug it right after it started pumping and it will continue to siphon out the remaining water at nearly the same rate as when the pump is plugged in. Just set it and forget it!
Much better than the cover pump w/hand squeeze bulb siphon type this replaced at just a little more cost."

Needs new filters,
Date:August 9, 2007
By radioman
Pros: Pumps quickly
Cons: Filter clogs and needs cleaning often. Does not stand up to more than one winter's use.
"Would be nice if you included a few extra filters with this pump. They must be cheap items to include with the pump, or at least make them readily available for a REASONABLE cost."

Be cautious,
Date:August 9, 2007
By eagle142
Pros: small, easy storage
Cons: all plastic, not as pictured in sales ad
"i had one as pictured at a previous home i owned and so i ordered another for our current home/pool. the item i received is not the item which was pictured in the sale ad, and the one i received did not take very long for it to break. the plastic impellor had a little tab which wore out in about three weeks (maybe 5-6hrs of run-time) and the plastic housing developed a crack due to the cold weather (became very fragile in the cold climate). save your money folks and buy something else!"
