How far down will it bring the water off of a pool cover
863193
If you have a non-rigid cover, the weight of the pump will mean that the water will flow to the pump. As the water flows to the pump, I push the puddles of standing water towards the pump. Then, when the pump finally shuts off, there will be two inches of water at the pump and a small circle of water surrounding it.

The pump removes all water to the top of the blue base. About an inch or so remains around the base of the pump. It's done great for me so far.

I'm sorry, but I haven't used it yet. My experience with similar pumps is that they stop when the water is approx. 1/2"

I would say about 1 inch. Down to the blue thing it sets in. I love mine , it works good. Have not had no problems this winter with it. You will like it and it is worth the money.

My pool is an 18 FT round the cover was a little big and I did have to trim it.

the discretion is only 31 ft. Most pools have the port at about halfway. That should give you about a 62 ft reach. That's not 100 ft. You will need some more hose.

Yes. And they cause the cover to sink to the bottom of the pool. I would buy a different cover.

I don't have a manual in front of me, but I think it will go down to 1/2", but it sure seems like mine goes down to about a 1/4" and then will shutoff. On my cover, it often pumps it almost completely dry in one section, shutting off until water migrates in from other sections to "fill" the area around the pump. It then pumps that down as well. Rinse and repeat....it works very nicely and I'm VERY pleased. Much better than my previous pump that now seems more like a toy than a pump.

I use my leaf cover as a Pool Cover. I had a solid Pool Cover before with Big Problems. Every time it rained water would build up on the cover. The water on top of the cover would push the pool water out. I would have to pump the water off the cover then refill the pool to the proper level.

If you had experience a pump is sucking out water out of your pool. I think you have a hole in the cover.

No, and you do not want that in a solar cover. Get it large enough to fit to the very edge (trim if it you must) and if there is any overhang, flip it under, inside the pool. Lofting it over the edge means it can blow away, and reduces the warming power. The better it fits to the edge of the pool, the less movement and less debris. FURTHER I used one of those drawstring things. OKAY they don't work to keep debris out, for sure. If it rains, then you have 200 pounds of water in the center, no way can you get the thing off without dropping most of the debris. It cannot be pulled off with the water in it, and to drop that water in the pool means SCUZZ. Solar covers work 100 times better for debris, they can be lifted up, and debris simply blows off.

Yes, as long as you have the water running fast enough it will pull water from 5' feet below.

if you want to get the last few inches out yes it'll have to lay flat, otherwise it will get the water level down to which you could lift the barrel or soak up the excess with towels or whatever. It works very well and emptied my 15' by 4' pool in a matter of hours which is about 4,500 gallons. You may want to also buy an extension to the hose, I didn't and that is next on my list for pool emptying this fall.

I haven't measured it, but we've had many pool covers over the years. Sadly, none of then last very long. But this one works really well, especially considering our deep end is really deep.

If your cover is taut, the pump will sink by its weight and be the lowest point on the cover. It will pump to 1/4 inch of the space it is in, but because it is the lowest point your cover will be dry. Works well for me.

you don't want to cut it since it drapes over the sides a bit..by doing that, any rainwater is caught on the cover and you can slowly pull cover off without getting any debris in the pool with the water.

I have a 18 foot diameter pool and the 18 covers it perfectly. you could cut the 18 down.

I have a 27 foot round pool. I always have my filter running when I use the Rover, and have never saw it get moved around. It is extremely heavy once it fills up with water, which is what makes it sink to the bottom of the pool and not float back up. I have a pretty hard time getting it pulled back up and over the side of the pool when it's finished, especially if it's full of leaves too.

This a one powerful pump. It pumps my pool cover after heavy rains very quickly. The hose is 25 feet long and approximately 2 1/2 to 3 feet above the pump. While I can't really say with certainty that it will do what you need it to do, based upon the job it does for me, I feel confident that it will perform beyond your expectations. Good Luck! :-)

Our pool was completed this spring and we purchased this cleaner. Our drain covers are circular and are about two inches in height. This cleaner mostly just motors over them like a tank when I watched it at that location. The drain covers have not been a problem for it.
