  • Actually Very Effective!
Color: White
The design of the pump head is great. I don’t have any issues with leave clogging it and there are holes to suck the water on the top and around the sides - so no worries of sucking pool water through the cover if you forget to take it off. It’s a start it & forget about it! It worked much quicker than I anticipated. After reading some reviews I figured on a several (5-6) hours and in reality it maybe took 1-2 which included me moving it over the ropes of the float ties off in the middle under our tarp. It’s heavy enough to create a pool of water on the tarp to suck out, but incredibly easy and light weight to move around. Actually, I was surprised by its size & weight when I got it out of the box. One negative, but definitely not a deal breaker, was the siphon pump that comes with this being completely worthless. I pumped on that thing forever (at least it seemed like it!) and no water moved at all. So I took to the good ole fashioned mouth siphoning method and it worked like a charm! ... show more

  • Easy set up, effective for draining cover
Color: White
This works great for my specific needs - I have a leaf net on top of the cover (suspended on top, not lying on the cover) as the pool is half covered by a tree. It was easy to slide this on top of the cover (beneath the net) with a skimmer pole to get it to the middle of the cover. The tube was long enough for my needs (21' pool) and the pump mechanism was effective in getting the water flowing through the tube. It is a slow process as the tube is more narrow than a pool hose, but it is very effective as a "set it and forget it" solution. Start the pump, walk away, later that day the cover is clear of water. ... show more

  • Works quite well, if not in the manner intended by the manufacturer
Color: White
I bought this to drain my in ground hot tub cover, about 8 feet in diameter. I quickly noticed that the included hand pump, while operable, leaks air quite badly, rapidly breaking suction on the siphon and causing the drainage to stop. If you aren't willing to modify this a bit, this probably isn’t going to work for you. I also noticed that the head unit, seen in picture 1, is nicely weighted and flat, and because I have somewhat of a height gradient from my in ground hot tub cover to the drain, I thought I had something to work with. I considered returning the whole thing, but didn't want to spend the ~ $150 to buy another powered pump from *ittle *iant, like I purchased to drain my in ground pool cover. I therefore went to the local hardware store and got a drill pump for about $8, as in picture 3 (I already had a drill). I also got their lowest cost garden hose of the desired length, for me 25 feet, which cost about $10. I cut off the appropriate end of the garden hose with a razor knife. Because I already had experience with this type of drill pump, the last one of which failed not because of the pump but because the cheap thermoset plastic housing threads failed after too much "screw on", "screw off", I purchased some quick connects, which are shown in pictures 2 and 3. While these quick connects aren't essential to the running of the siphon, it does make it very convenient to attach the pump to start the siphon, then remove the pump when the siphon is running. It should be noted, as the pictures show, that I have the hose attached directly to the "head unit" with a hose clamp and attach the starter pump to the distal end of the hose with a quick connect. I then remove the drill pump when water flow has started. Pictue 2 shows the siphon in place but not running, but flow is pretty reasonable considering there is a height gradient of less than 1 foot between the hot tub cover and the drain. Obviously if the cover were higher, it would drain faster. The siphon is more than adequate to drain the small area of the hot tub, in spite of the low height gradient involved, even in a relatively heavy rain. What's nice about this setup is that hose distance is relatively unimportant, and there is no motor to burn out if the float switch fails to shut off the pump, as I have observed occasionally with my pool cover pump. I just start the siphon with the drill pump, detach the drill pump, and walk away, letting the siphon run until the cover is empty. The down side is that once the cover is emptied, and the siphon is broken, it won’t restart until I restart it with the drill pump. Discussion: As already stated, the speed of the siphon is a function of the gradient between the reservoir and the drain, so unless there is a large gradient this wouldn’t be appropriate for large volumes or heavy rains. Because my pool cover is below the level of the drain, I continue to use a powered pump to drain it. With those caveats, this solution, as I have modified it, works extremely well, and fits my needs wonderfully. ... show more

  • Terrific solution for draining the pool cover!
Color: White
Okay, I didn't try one of the automated pump solutions -- the combination of wires going long-distance to the center of the pool cover to an outlet, the cost, the weight & reliability issues, just wasn't compelling. THIS thing just uses physics to drain the cover and it does an EXCELLENT job... once started. The little toy pump provided isn't impressive & I just used my mouth to get the flow started. So you need to restart it each time you have significant water buildup on the cover. But it's a few seconds and it starts right up and continues until the water has been drained. Sometimes, I have to move it around on the cover to find the deep center of a pool of water, also easy. But it's relatively light, so no cover damage. Siphoning/capillary action WORKS. Earlier, I bought a 1HP sump pump to drain the pool and I had some electrical outlet issues, so I used it as a heavy weight & a passive siphon -- same thing, just started the flow with suction & it drained and entire 24 foot pool without power to the pump until the last few inches! That pump is WAYYY too heavy to put on a pool cover, so this little SwimLine solution is PERFECT! For the price, why not? ... show more

  • Worth every penny
Color: White
We are new to having an above ground pool in the summer. The first year we had a lot of issues with debris and so got a cover, but then we quickly ran into the issue of not being able to remove the cover after any rain because of the weight of the water and letting that water into the pool meant all the debris on the cover went into the pool meaning more cleaning and the filter in the pump needing to be replaced more often and the chemicals needing to be rebalanced due to all the decomposing matter..... Cue the aha moment where I think, a simple siphon to remove the water on top first would allow the cover to be easily removed and prevent the debris from getting into the pool. I bought this siphon and it worked perfectly! The water stayed clear all summer with minimal effort on my part. It even made it easier to get most of the water out at the end of the season for putting the pool away. After the water was below the hose drain, I put this in the bottom of the pool and ran the tubing out through the lowest hole for the pump input. Once it couldn't remove any more water, it was easy for my husband and I to flip the pool over to empty the last of the water and let it dry. ... show more
