Swimming pools are a staple of summer relaxation and fun. While investing in a pool cover can help reduce upkeep and increase safety, one of the challenges that comes with it is managing the standing water that often collects on top.
You might try siphoning the water off with a garden hose, but this method can be unreliable — especially when the water level is low. Thankfully, pool cover pumps offer a reliable and efficient solution to remove water from your pool cover quickly.
In this article, we’ll explore why draining your pool cover matters and walk you through how to use a pool cover pump step by step.
Why It’s Important to Remove Standing Water
Pool covers reduce the need for daily skimming by keeping out leaves and debris. But to keep your cover itself in good condition, you’ll need to remove the standing water. Here are three key reasons to stay on top of this:
1. Control Mold and Bacterial Growth
Water that pools on top of a cover creates the ideal environment for mold, mildew, and bacteria to develop — sometimes in just a couple of days. In addition to damaging the cover over time, this buildup can pose health risks, including skin irritation and respiratory issues. Learn more about mold health impacts.
2. Keep Mosquitoes at Bay
Standing water is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Some species thrive in nutrient-rich water, while others prefer clean standing water. Either way, within days, a damp pool cover can become a mosquito hotspot — or even an ecosystem for other pests.
3. Enhance Safety Around the Pool
Pool covers help reduce accidental drowning, especially for households with children. But if water collects on the cover, that layer itself can pose a drowning hazard — it only takes 2 inches of water to be dangerous. That’s why keeping your cover drained is essential to maintaining a safe environment.
When Should You Drain a Pool Cover?
For areas that receive frequent rainfall or snow, it’s best to check the cover regularly — especially after storms. In winter, try to shovel snow off before it melts into standing water. In dry climates, water may only need to be removed during wetter seasons like spring or early summer.
