EDOU DIRECT Remote Control Pool Cover Pump Black Edition - Heavy-Duty, High-Efficiency Pump for Above Ground & Inground Pools - 1,200 GPH Max Flow, 75W, 16' Hose & 3 Adapters Included

Thought this was going to be a good product but the third time and now it doesn’t work. Had to get the cheap pump back out and use it. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

This pump worked well, but you have to turn it off before the water empties. It says it has protection if the water is gone, but that is not true. I missed babysitting this thing one time and it burned out when the water emptied, and stopped working. After trying another kind of pump that would clog easily, I went back to using the syphon style drain to empty water off of the pool cover. It works great and requires no power. The key is to use a pitcher of water to fill the tube then flop it over the side of the pool and off it goes! Perfect!

Stuck it on the winter cover, connected it to power, left the hose hang over the edge of the pool and simply used the remote to switch on when the water was too deep. Note that a layer of water protects the pool cover against strong winds in the thick of the winter. But when there are leaves rotting, or the temperature rises, you want that water removed. This little pump was able to manage the job in 6"+ water depth, in freezing water, through leaves and their sludge. UPDATE: the little pump has managed two winters, with deep freezing and melting snow. It was left on overnight on accident and while it did pull in the cover, it did not put a hole in it and did not break from running dry. This spring, we had to drain the pool when we opened (longer story). We used this pump to do so and it worked like a champ, making a short work of the 4000 gallons it had to evacuate. The switch allowed us to get the last drop (automatic ones leave 2" of water.) The blue shield has fadedafter sitting in leaf tea for months, but it still runs like a champ and the shield has remained solid. If it ever becomes available again, get it!

This is very nice pump. Works really well. Seems like a good durable quality pump. Good price too.

This pump has served us perfectly for 4 years. We do not overwinter our pool with a cover; instead, when the water needs to be lowered to keep it 2" from the bottom of the pool tile, we place the pump on paving stones stacked on one of the steps so that only the lower portion of the pump in submerged in the water. Then we manually turn it on and let it do its thing. It takes approximately 3 hours to lower the water in our 30,000 gallon (large) inground pool by 1.5"-2". Works every time and is so much cheaper than paying $180 for the pool company to perform a "winter checkup."

Works great with the remote connect your hose and hit the button and walk away it removes water pretty quick so check it every so often. And this is more affordable than a pool store and it’s delivered right to your door.

I understand I bought this pump 13 months ago, but it was only used 3 months last year and 2 weeks this year. That's less then 4 months in service. This has stopped working completely. I really did not want to leave a bad review, but I have no way of contacting seller.

Slow but does the job. Does the job so well that it emptied my pool!!! 😩😩😭😓😵‍💫. There was a hole in my cover under some leaves and I didn’t go out side for 5 days and my 16x32 foot inground pool was nearly empty. WARNING!!! I wouldn’t use unattended and trust the automatic on/off switch unless You’re certain the cover is solid and secure. I’m going broke paying for water!!! All because my B*TCH neighbor called the town health department in freezing JANUARY, because there was some water on my pool cover and she was afraid of those winter mosquitos who come out in below freezing temperatures! Sorry for the vent. Pump works, obviously!!
