Pool cover pumps
information
Use a pool cover pump
to get rid of access water on your pool cover
The Rule pool cover pump system
features a powerful 1800 gallon per hour automatic submersible
pump with a specially designed strainer base that filters out leaves
and debris. Water doesn't stand a chance against it!
Just attach a standard garden hose and plug in the pump. Starting
and stopping is completely automatic. The pump will continuously
monitor the water level on the cover and when enough water enters
the bottom of the pump, the pump turns on and removes it. The pump
also features freeze protection, so ice will not hurt it. You can
leave it on all winter long. Use it wherever standing water
accumulates. For water applications only.
Rule Automatic Pool Cover Pumps turn on and check for water
approximately every 1-1/2 minutes. During this "check", the pump
runs for about one second and checks for resistance or drag against
the impeller. If resistance (water) is found, it will run for as
long as water is present. When all the water is pumped out, the pump
shuts off and returns to its 2-1/2 minute test cycle. The pump can
be started at any time by disconnecting it from the power source,
waiting for 5 seconds and reconnecting to the power source.

Jamming |
The Rule
1800 Pool
Cover Pump
is equipped
with a
protective
circuit that
prevents
damage to
the pump in
the event
that it
becomes
embedded in
ice or the
impeller
becomes
jammed with
debris.
Should the
impeller jam
due to ice,
no action is
necessary.
The pump
will resume
its normal
operation
when the ice
thaws. The
pump will
continue to
check for
water every
few minutes
while frozen
and
automatically
shut itself
off after
each check.
To prevent
unnecessary
wear, it is
recommended,
but not
necessary,
to
disconnect
the pump if
it will be
frozen in
ice for an
extended
period of
time.
Should the
impeller jam
due to
debris, the
debris
should be
removed as
soon as
possible to
allow the
pump to
return to
its normal
automatic
pumping mode |
