\"Pool<\/p>\n

You’ve covered your above ground swimming pool with a winter cover and secured it in place, but what do you do about the water that inevitably accumulates on top of the cover over the fall and winter months?\u00a0 Many people use\u00a0Automatic\u00a0Cover Pumps or Manual Cover Pumps<\/a>\u00a0to remove that water when it reaches a certain level.\u00a0 These cover pumps\u00a0are fast, powerful, and\u00a0often expensive to purchase.\u00a0 There is an alternative, though, that uses absolutely no electricity and costs a fraction of what standard cover pumps cost.<\/p>\n

The Winter Cover Siphon Drain<\/a> is a\u00a0simple device that costs very little and\u00a0uses human power to\u00a0pump the water off of\"\" your pool cover. Squeeze the device to create a siphoning action;\u00a0this pulls the excess water away from the pool cover, and the pump\u00a0stops\u00a0automatically when the cover is drained.\u00a0 The Siphon Drain saves money and electricity, but it also requires more monitoring of the water levels on your pool cover and more time to\u00a0drain that excess water.\u00a0\u00a0If\u00a0you, as the pool owner, feel that\u00a0the extra time spent is worth the money saved, then the Winter Cover Siphon Drain is an\u00a0excellent choice.\u00a0 But, if monitoring the pool cover regularly is not desirable or possible, a standard Automatic or Manual Cover Pump would be most suitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
