Small submersible electric pump for getting water off cover – ?
February 25th, 2010 | 
Author: I have a cover over my pool outside, and during the off-season it often gets a large amount of rain water that accumulates in the middle of the cover several inches or more deep. Can anyone recommend a really good, small, reasonable electric submersible pump I can buy that I can plug in outside and toss the pump down in the "pond" of water & pump it off fairly quickly? I am sure nowdays some companies make some nice little portable pumps that are waterproof & submersible.
Thanks for any recommendations you can give me !!
Thx TC & Oil Field, good suggestions – Human-guy, no can do what you say, to start with its round/oval, not square – there are no "sides" – also the pool is 15 x 30, I don’t know if you realize how large that is but there is no way you can pull that huge of a cover tight enough so there is no ponding of water on top, u obviously have no experience w/ this situation.
I wish I could remember the one I used in Arizona for exactly that purpose …..I think it was “little giant”….but I can’t remember …been a few years.
I had a retractable cover and would throw the pump in the middle {it had a garden hose attached to it} and pump it out…….. here is a site you can check.
Little giant is also readily available at Ace I think …Home Depot

Unstirred of your idea,
Why not fix the cover tightly on all four sides with out having a bend in the center with a sloop on one side so the water flows out on its own.

Go to any home improvement center and purchase a small fountain or pond pump.

Any pool or spa supply store will have a purpose built pump for just this problem. I Have seen them in ACE hardware stores. If you google "pool cover pump" you will soon find a place to buy one online.
