For all you folks who used this pump to drain a pool. Is the electric cord long enough for a seven foot in ground pool? If not,what other cord options

I measured from the bottom of the pump to the end of the power cord. The pump is submergeable, as is the cord. The measurement was slightly longer than 10 foot. I see no problem.

I used it in my 10 ft deep end in ground pool. I attach an extension cord to the cord on the product. It worked like a charm I just took it out of the now drained pool (had it on the cover submerged in water and leaves) because it's now winter in NE Ohio! I totally recommend this pump for pool use, works great and great price!

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! :-)

Hi Allan O., thanks for your question, yes the inlet hose must be in the pool, pool cover and the outlet hose should be upward but not more then 10/15 feet, for example if you put this in your pool and the pump is at the bottom lets say 6ft down it will pump the water upward, the further deep you go the less pumping it will do and stress the motor more

Please note that the pump is really just to start the siphon. This will probably only work if it is downhill all the way to the sewer. We use it for a rain barrel so we never looked into longer hoses.

Is it new? Is the line length sufficient? Is the tail line attached? The system seems to work on a pump that causes vacuum. This pump also propels it forward. There's a feature that causes it adjust positioning occasionally, so that it will reach the entire pool. What's it not doing properly?

I've used this cord at continuous maximum load (120v 12A) for over three days without any issues, so this will definitely serve your need. The 12-gauge is thinner wire than this 10-gauge cord, so it's worse, not better, electrically. The 12-gauge may be sufficient for your needs. 12 gauge shouldn't be used for continuous loads above 9.3A, so check your pump's electrical rating.

I have it for an above ground pool. I could see that it would work for in-ground pools too. I love it. This rover is excellent and cleans the pool well. If mine ever tore up, I would order the same one, honestly. I have had no problems. I love it.

We have a 27'4' round above ground pool and this pump works just fine with it. Hope this helps.

Hello. If it's only running for a min or two you should be fine. I originally bought this to drain my pool cover but It takes way to long.

Yes, but do the math on the flow ratings to determine how long it will take. Also consider that the electrical cord is permanently connected and is only a certain length (check specs). You may not be able to place it on the bottom of the pool because the junction to the extension chord would be under water so you would have to lower the pump as the water line lowers. Make sense?

It's about 40 feet. I use it on a 25 ft round above ground pool and it reaches the entire pool area. You need to untangle the cord each use otherwise works well. Wish they would come out with a retrofit to have a revolving connector so the cord won't tangle. Takes a bit of time to untangle. That's my only complaint.Good luck,

We have a 20 ft round and works great, but I don't know about 7 more feet. so much better than the sand pump we had before. check out the Hayward web site for size

It's a great pump. I have a 24 ft round pool and it really does the job. It has plenty of power (1 1/2 hp) check your fitting sizes,,,,,I'm sure it will work for you.

thanks dennis, my original pump has 6' of wire and keeps the splice out of the salt water. how long is this one.

I use it for an in ground pool and works perfect. It will also work for an above ground pool if you have the proper piping. All it does is, that the same pool pump you have runs the water through the panels before going back into the pool

We have a well with electric pump too. yes. my brother installed his and it worked wonderful. we have not got our up and running yet. waiting for the weather to break. my brother did use his. He installed it and then packed it back up and put in his attic for emergency only. he's ready to rock and roll if power goes down. hope this helped.

Just a few feet. I always use the pump in conjunction with an extension cord.
