Swimline 5420 Submersible Pool Cover Pump, 250 GPH
Half the electricity, all of the water gone.
The Swimline 5420 submersible cover pump, stocked under SKU PST-SW5420, sits flat on a winter pool cover and moves up to 250 GPH of rain and snowmelt off before the weight starts stretching the cover or pulling it into the pool. It is fully submersible and clog resistant, and it has only one moving part, so there is very little to service. The discharge is a standard 3/4 in garden hose thread and the 25 ft power cord lets the pump sit out where the water actually pools. It draws about half the electricity of a conventional motor driven winter cover pump.

Is 250 GPH enough for my cover?
For a typical residential cover in a normal rain, yes. If you get heavy downpours or you have a large in ground cover, step up to the 500 GPH model so the water clears faster.
Does the pump turn on by itself?
No. This is a manual pump, so plug it in when water collects and unplug it when the cover is clear. Do not leave it running dry.
What do I need besides the pump?
A standard garden hose for the discharge and a GFCI protected outlet, which NEC 680 requires for equipment used around a pool.

Let customers speak for us
The bulb was lost in transit and PST reached out proactively to ask if I wanted a replacement shipped out!
part was an exact fit for my old spa, price was great thanks
Fast shipping and great customer support. I appreciate all of the help in getting my spa up and working.
The cord worked perfectly when I upgraded my older Balboa spa and pump.
I had a leak in which water was leaking out to the waste line. I could hear the water trickling in the waste line. The spider gasket in this kit resolved the issue.
Shipping and delivery were quick. Would definitely order again from PST.
Fit perfectly and works great.
Awesome item. I can control my spa from my phone!! Love it. Item was shipoed out and delivered so fast. Hooking it up was a breeze.
The support staff to make the orders were outstanding; even though I made a quantity error. And the timeliness of all the repair parts I needed to get the OLD Tiger Shark running as good as new was wonderful. My pool is crystal clear.
Fit perfectly on our bubbler lightv
The only place I could find with the part I needed. Delivery was fast and the price was great. Best pool supply store on the web.
Part was easy to find and arrived a couple of days earlier than originally scheduled.
The ceramic spindle in the center of the original impellor broke. Replacement with this part was super easy and pump performs like new.
