| We have a solid cover with one mesh drain panel
like the fact that puddling won't happen on the cover and accept the trade off that there will be some clean up in the spring. question about keeping water level in check during the winter.
i have a manual little giant pump, but it is only the 1A model.
right now i have it on the step in the swim out love seat and just turn it on and off depending on the level. a few questions 1) does this set-up seem ok? 2) i've been good at not letting it run dry...but i may miss it at some point. will a few hours kill the pump? 3) is it ok to leave it in place like this all winter or should i take it in and out? i'm concerned about that being a pain, as i need to remove 4 springs to remove it 4) when it freezes, best to just leave it in and stop using it? think those are all the q's i have for now. thanks! |

| thanks scott do you prefer the little giant 500-APCP over the APCP-1700? |
|
| Under the cover, the 500's low profile is ideal. Scott |

| ordered, thanks! when it freezes do i take it out or just unplug it? |
|
| Just unplug it. Remember to plug it back in if there is a thaw. Scott |
