Pool Cover Pump Attachment - USA-Made & Patented Pool Cover Pump Hose Alternative w/ 25ft. Range - Easy-To-Install & Use Year-Round - Replaces Traditional Hoses, Eliminating Tripping Hazard

This is the BEST pump attachment ever! Sitting on the pool cover sournded by snow and ice and lows in the single digets and this baby keeps the pump going as it shoots the water out and over!! It is amazing and worth the purchase!!!

Worked exactly how described, and added a little fun to this terrible winter! So cool seeing the water shoot onto the grass!! LOVE IT!

I use a Little Giant APC-1700 pool cover pump to keep water off of my automatic pool cover during the swimming season. Our pool guy set it up with a hose to exhaust the water onto the lawn and a rope to drag the pump into position. But the hose, rope, and electric cord get irritatingly entangled when you try to position the pump on the cover. So I figured I’d try the Coverblast attachment to replace the hose. It does work: it shoots the water far enough to clear my (rather narrow) pool patio and spray onto the lawn. But if you’re using a rope to drag the pump into place, be aware that if the Coverblast gets crossed up with the rope, it will knock the Coverblast flat (since the hose attachment on the pump is a pivoting type). So you either need to make sure the rope doesn’t get crossed up with the Coverblast, or you need to get rid of the rope and use a different tool to position the pump on the cover. That’s my next step: I just ordered a boat hook on an aluminum pole to shove the pump out onto the cover and drag it back when it’s time to remove it. Hopefully with the Coverblast and a boat hook instead of the hose and a rope, it will be easier to put the pump in place on the cover. EDIT: got a boat hook to replace the rope, and it works great. That’s what you need: good cover pump, Coverblast, and boat hook to push the pump out onto the cover and retrieve it (and reposition the Coverblast if it gets knocked flat in the process). LONG TERM EDIT +1YR: This lasted about a season and a half before the plastic snapped off at the attachment point. Still works well enough that it’s worth it to me at the current price.

It works as intended, but I wish it dispersed the water a bit instead of directing it in a stream. When we get a heavy rain it creates a hole and a rut running from the hole across the yard because of the volume of water forced into one spot on the yard. When it’s a big storm, I often feel like I need to run out and unplug it so I can monitor the distribution on the grass after the storm.

Set this up with Acquaer 1/4 HP Automatic Swimming Pool Cover Pump, 2250 GPH Submersible Sump Pump. Setup and pumping rainwater off of my pool cover and on my lawn and garden in 10 minutes. Great combo no hoses needed! Great buy!

I live in west central Ohio. Pool pumps freeze up. I like the idea of this snout, which could be made with any hose connector and PVC but this one has a venturi so it shoots the water farther as you can see in my picture. That said, I'm considering very carefully putting a small weep hole at the very bottom so when the pump turns off, water does not remain in the shaft. Once the cover is pumped dry, there's always going to be a wee bit of water left in this shooter tube since it faces up. That water will freeze, expand and crack as this is very thin plastic. What this does eliminate is the problem with my hose freezing up as well. I don't have to attempt to defrost a host. Bottom line though, the entire pump will freeze with a hose or this shooter. My solution is I have two pool pumps. when it snows a bunch or rains and freezes, once the thaw comes, I just pull the pump that is frozen into the barn and replace with the one in the barn that's ready to go with no water. It cost me $140 for a second pump, but I cannot have water building up on a $17,000 pool cover. It can only hand 400 lbs so if that gets exceeded, I then have a very expensive pool cover to fix. Easy and fast to just swap out pumps and have a back up at the read. Although the Little Giant pump I use seems very reliable, as long as you know how to clean out the breather hole under the cover. I have two of these coverblast tubes and am going to attempt to drill that small hole at the bottom so the shaft never has water in it when the pump stops.

Brilliant!!! Works amazingly well. Use it instead of a hose to throw the water 25 feet from your pool cover pump. Doesn’t freeze up. Just brilliant!

Worked good until it didn’t. First ice storm and the nozzle broke off the pump.

It makes your cover pump look like an elephant and it shoots water off the cover. I couldn’t be happier.

Works well but it is a fragile. Built very cheaply. Will break easily if mishandled. Expensive for quality.

If this review can stop just 1 person from buying this piece of junk then my time has no been wasted. VERY cheaply made. Shoots water right back onto your pool cover so it just goes around in a big circle. Right out of the box you can feel the cheapness of this product. Seller has a horrible return policy including 20% restocking fee and no paid postage on return as well so you can't even try it out. You are stuck with this overpriced piece of garbage. DO NOT BUY.
