The new pool auto cover rain pump from Automatic Pool Covers Inc. has raised the bar on the industry standard with a 40-foot cord and cover blaster. 

Every Pool Patrol pool auto cover we provide comes with a rain pump and while the product was a fantastic product, we’re very excited to introduce an updated rain pump to the family. 


The features

The new rain pump from our partners at Automatic Pool Covers Inc. is a unique design that takes everything that worked about the old pump and improves upon it. 

This one-of-a-kind pump has a 40-foot cord—one of the longest on the market. This feature allows the pump to cover more area of the pool and may eliminate the need for an extension cord, depending on your space. 

The cover blast removes water faster than our previous model and removes the need for a garden hose attachment. Plus, the new design doesn’t require a tray. 

The new rain pump is available now for $299 plus tax and shipping. Order yours today.


What’s different?

The new rain pump takes the features of our previous rain pump to the next level. 

Before:

  • A shorter cord usually meant an extension cord was required to operate the pump. 

  • A garden hose attachment was required for water removal. 

  • Tray feature for pump that can be difficult to manage at times. 

Now:

  • The 40-foot cord is among the longest on the market, potentially eliminating the need for an extension cord. 

  • The cover blaster replaces the need for a garden hose attachment.

  • The new, improved design removes water faster than the previous model.

  • Comfortable handle for easy maneuvering. 

  • No tray to manage. 


Why should I use a rain pump?

A rain pump sits on top of your automatic pool safety cover and removes rain or other standing water. When that water accumulates, it can become a drowning risk or decrease the lifespan of your pool cover fabric. 

This new model will be the standard included when our pool cover specialists install new auto covers—but don’t be too jealous! You can snag the new and improved rain pump design from our team for $299 + tax and shipping. Get in touch!
