Pros: No electricity needed

Pros: keeps cover water free
Cons: If left out over winter, plastic cracks
"This is the best product I have found to keep the top of my pool cover free of water. Use is all during the off season. Keeps the top free of excess water after rain or snow melting."

Really Works!!,
November 8, 2007
By morgie
from Lawrenceburg Indiana
|
Pros: This product really does do what it claims to do. I squeezed the ball about three times and it started draining.
Cons: If you use a pillow under the liner you need to move it around.
"The product really does work.I was waiting to get it when it had been raining for a few days..When it came I immediately put it to use.I have to say I was surprised at the ease of putting it together and how fast it started draining off the water.We use a liner pillow, so you do need to move it around to all the low spots when needed.I would recommend it."

By newportguy
from newport, pa
|
Pros: low cost, no power needed
"This simple siphon pump does a great job draining pool cover water. It is quick and easy to set up with no electricity needed. Only a few squeezes of the bulb is all that is needed. I hope it lasts a few years."

Better than it looks!,
October 28, 2007
By geoalm
from Independence, KY
|
Pros: It just works.
Cons: Floats a little when pumping out large amount of water
"I must admit, I was a little worried when I first got it. It doesn't look like much but it works great! It took a whole weekend for me to pump out a great amount of water due to torrential rains but it did the job! I had to weigh it down so that it wouldn't float but I can live with that."

Above-Ground Cover Drain,
October 26, 2007
By scarolinagirl
from Georgia
|
Pros: Love it
Cons: none
"This Cover Drain really works nice. Thinking about buying another one so I can use 2 of them at a time on my oval pool. Well worth the money because you can use it while it is raining. I will continue to shop from In the Swim."

Excellent Non Power Alternative,
September 19, 2007
By Paminmass
|
Pros: No need for electric, can be primed after hand pump fails
Cons: plastic pieces can become brittle & break
"I bought this to replace the previous one that finally was too tired to be effective. After a while the hand prime does tend to break, but can be primed manually, with clear tube giving you time to back off before you end up with a mouthfull of slimy cover water. Makes covers last longer keeping water off until freeze & makes spring openings easier with drained cover & dry leaves to remove. I give this product high marks for ease of use."

Great Product,
September 19, 2007
By marisol
|
Pros: No need for electricity, works great
Cons: May want to remove it from direct sun after you finish.
"This is a great product it does what promise...I bought 2 because I have a big pillow in the middle of my 24' round pool,under the cover. I put one in each side. It removed the water in no time. I had a electrical pump that I was afraid to use when it rains..I can leave this ones running even when is rainning."

Handy tool,
September 1, 2007
By dtcrhinck
|
Pros: Drain water off pool cover quickly. Durable.
Cons: Hand pump to get it started could be better.
"With a solid winter cover this is a must to avoid nasty water getting into pool when taking cover off in the springtime. It beats sucking nasty water through a hose to start a siphon. On my second one in eleven years."
