Proudly assembled in the USA and backed by a 3-year warranty, this pump offers reliable, energy-efficient pool cover maintenance. ## Description Product Description The WAPC250 is an automatic on/off water removal pool cover pump. Max. Flow rate is 3000 gallons per hour using 1-1/4" drain hose. Includes: check-valve with 3/4" garden hose adapter to reduce repetitive cycling, 25 foot power cord (always plug into a gfci outlet), 25 foot "pull to shore" rope included to help position the pump on the pool cover. When temperatures drop below freezing remove pump from service and store indoors to protect pump from damage due to ice. The pump has a unique protection circuit to protect the motor from a locked impeller condition possibly caused by debris buildup or from a frozen impeller situation caused by ice formation. When the pump is activated and a locked impeller condition is detected the unit will automatically shutdown to protect the motor from overheating. The pump will continue this on or off cycle for a period of time to attempt to free the impeller until eventually the unit will remain off for a period of 12 hours checking twice a day for a freed impeller. Once the pump is able to operate correctly the pump will resume normal operation. To reset this delay without waiting 12 hours momentarily unplug the pump From the Manufacturer 1/4 HP Auto On/Off Pool Cover Water Removal Pump. ## Features - Pool Cover Maintenance: The WAYNE 1/4 HP Reinforced Thermoplastic Pool Cover Pump is an addition to your pool maintenance.

Worked good at first. Now it cycles on and off when it is submerged beyond the indicated mark. Any ideas..** A: Your weep hole is clogged. You'll need to take the four screws out that you can see from the top when the pump is sitting normally. Do a YouTube search for Wayne pool cover pump weep hole and it should come up. http://youtu.be/qMB9YookU5Q. The hole can be hard to see...it's only about 1/16th of an inch dia. Good luck! **Q: Is the pump fully submersible?** A: Until two days ago my pump wasn't only completely underwater but it was completely under a foot of hard frozen snow and ice. Now I did unplug the pump knowing that a hard freeze was coming and also had to wait until the temps got above freezing in order for the snow and ice to thaw. But yesterday I plugged it back in and it still worked like a champ! **Q: What do I do to make my pump start workinjg?** A: Just plug it in, if it does not appear to be working the water level may not be high enough, the water needs to come up over the blue leaf guard (give or take) for it to start pumping to test that the pump is working just get a bucket fill it with water and submerge the pump, it should start pumping in a few seconds. Also test the plug and make sure the GFI is set. **Q: I have a plastic liner and then the mesh cover. So, do I put the pump on top of the mesh cover in the middle?** A: I have a concrete pool and a mesh cover suspended in air above the pool water. I place this pump below the cover on one of the pool steps to keep the water level from rising all winter. I used to use it on top of a solid cover to keep rain water from building up on the cover. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wayne 57729-WYNP WAPC250 Pool Cover Pump, Blue - CoverBlast Pool Cover Pump Attachment - USA-Made & Patented Pool Cover Pump Hose Alternative w/ 25ft.
