Customer Reviews
Great pump
Monday, February 21, 2011Wish it had included the stand for the pump. The pump works great.
Shorted out after < 1 season
Sunday, February 20, 2011This is my second Rule pump. First one lasted 6 years, which I understand is pretty good for a pool cover pump. Bought this for a spare one when my first started making grinding noises. The new one went in service about Oct 2010. By February, it was shot -- totally shorts when submerged (doesn't when dry). Also, unlike my old one, the new one stayed on and wouldn't turn off when conditions became icy, so I was always have to manually turn it on as snow melted. From reading other reviews, sounds like this is a common problem now with this pump. Moving to Little Giant ACPC-1700 next.

Stop staying on, shorting when submerged
Pool Cover Pump
Thursday, September 23, 2010I have used this pump to empty our cover for one Spring and it worked very well. It does a very good job of screening out debris and pumps at a consistent rate.
It won't burn out if the water is too low.
