Testimonials

I live in Oregon and have a full size pool. This pump works perfectly to help drain off rain. My favorite part is that it turns on and off automatically, so I never have to plug or unplug it. I can go away and not worry about my pool cover.

Verified buyer – Purchased Pool Cover Pump

It is very quick. Had bought a large hose at a pool store a few years ago. Attached it to this device and it is emptying very quickly. Four hours in, and I think the pool will be empty by this evening.

D Huff

Verified buyer – Purchased Pool Cover Pump

This solar-powered floating ionizer releases copper and silver ions to help control algae and bacteria. One unit works well for my 15,000-gallon pool, keeping the water clear, soft, and clean without getting in the way while swimming.

Verified buyer – Purchased a Solar Pool Ionizer

I used this kit on a 5,000 gallon pool, drained about half way. The pool sat dormant and covered for nearly 8 months and the water was crystal clear when the cover came off! I will be using this product again this fall!

Verified buyer – Purchased Pool Closing Kit

This pump is very quiet!! My pool cover was loaded with water and leaves. I let it run while I got as many leaves as I could get out.I don’t know how we lived without this!! So far, im thrilled with this purchase. I hope it lasts.

Verified buyer – Purchased Pool Closing Kit

I ran it for about 2 hours draining ponded water from my backyard. It worked fine. Most of the time I had it pump under the fence but for a short time I had it pump over the fence with no problem. For the price, I am satisfied.

FAQ

1. When is the best time to close a pool for winter?

In colder regions, many pool owners wait until the water stays consistently below 65°F. Also consider local freeze risk, pool type, equipment, and weather.

2. Do pools in warm climates need to close?

Not always. Many Sunbelt pools remain open or use a partial winter-care routine. Continue monitoring water chemistry and prepare equipment for unusual cold snaps.

3. What is the difference between a utility pump and a pool cover pump?

A utility pump helps move water during drainage and cleanup. PCP025 is designed to help remove rainwater from the top of a pool cover.

4. Which Utility Pump should I choose?

Compare the horsepower, switch configuration, flow, cord, and drainage needs shown in the live selector and product details.

5. Can I use a Solar Pool Ionizer under a winter cover?

Do not use it under an opaque cover. It requires direct sunlight and is better suited to pre-closing, uncovered, or mild-climate partial-care situations.

6. Are these products everything I need to winterize my pool?

They support key water-removal, cover-care, and water-care tasks, but a complete closing can require additional pool-specific steps and supplies.

7. Can a Solar Pool Ionizer replace winterizing chemicals?

No. The Solar Pool Ionizer helps keep uncovered pool water cleaner before closing, but it does not replace proper water balancing or a winter closing kit.

8. Can I leave the Solar Pool Ionizer under my pool cover?

The Solar Pool Ionizer needs direct sunlight to operate, so remove it before installing a solid or opaque pool cover.

9.. Which Utility Pump should I choose for pool closing?

Choose based on the drainage speed and operation you need. The available models include 1/2 HP and 1 HP options, with manual or automatic float-switch operation.
