I have a plastic liner and then the mesh cover. So, do I put the pump on top of the mesh cover in the middle?

We haven't closed the pool yet, but we're going to try putting the pump on the plastic pool cover and the mesh cover over that because we remove the mesh cover after all the leaves have fallen (usually around Thanksgiving).

I have a concrete pool and a mesh cover suspended in air above the pool water. I place this pump below the cover on one of the pool steps to keep the water level from rising all winter. I used to use it on top of a solid cover to keep rain water from building up on the cover.

Hi, Thank you for your question! The only way to do this would be to remove the intake screen to reach the actual hose intake. If you have any other questions please let us know! Thank you, Mackensie Customer Service The Pond & Garden Wholesalers

There is no loop at the top of the liner. The liner lays over top of the pool wall, the plastic clip goes over that to hold the liner to the wall, the metal frame fits over the plastic clip and lastly the top edging goes on last. Does that help?

I have mine in a tray for this reason. Best way to align everything that I've found is to use a straw in the pump/filter so that the other part ends up with the hold in the right place.

I opened the little round button and put the vacuum hose on it, covering the whole circle. I also sealed the bottom tightly. Hope this helps.

We live in NJ and left it up all winter. We drained to below intake and out take openings and disconnected pump and stored that and lines. Bad thing was original cover tore so bought a winter cover from a cover company and cover was too small! Took forever to get pool cleaned and refilled, but now can't keep grandson out of it!

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.

That's the way I installed mine, beneath the dinette seat, only a few inches from the pump. I did build a wood mount, & secured the tank w/ a bent length of all-thread rod, cushioned by a left over piece of water line tubing. It works just fine, although I didn't install a shut-off/isolation valve.

I thought this cover would fit my hayward pump, but it had the electrical cutouts in the wrong places! The short answer is although the cover may fit over most of the pump it might not cover the entire pump because of the positions of the electrical connectors. Sorry I couldn't give you the answer you were looking for.

You may need to adjust the flow switch on the pump - it may be at the lowest setting and you'll need to move it up. Also make sure everything is lined up properly so that the water can flow to the top. Good luck!

Jake if you have room I would install it at the bottom of the sump by your main one due to the float switch that comes with this unit is timed to run so many seconds which basically is a full sump,that's by design.

No. I did not have to relocate the pump. The fit was great! I did have to cut length-wise, the plastic cover that covers the pump behind the original bumper, but all turned out excellent! Just make sure you have wrench extensions, and a deep-enough socket to bolt on. The threads are about 1 1/2 -2 inches long. I love the bumper. It actually came in the powder coat finish, which is much better than the glossy. Looking to buy one for my wife as well. Shipping was also great! very quick. Only a minor scratch on bumper, but nothing a little paint couldn't fix. Good luck.

Hi Allan O., thanks for your question, yes the inlet hose must be in the pool, pool cover and the outlet hose should be upward but not more then 10/15 feet, for example if you put this in your pool and the pump is at the bottom lets say 6ft down it will pump the water upward, the further deep you go the less pumping it will do and stress the motor more

I think it should be placed on each side of the pool liner. I put it on one side and did not get a perfect seal.

Take the cover off the intake side of the pump. That is where the water flows into the pump and then gets pushed out through the outlet connector.

I would say no, because it is designed to have water drop into the pan and then when level reaches the float level the pump kicks in and pumps excess fluid out of the pan. Holes in pump cover are only 1 inch diameter

I found that with my pool I have enough to cover the pool and a little extra that I pull up the sides and clip to the frame. this helps keep it from moving around in wind or from the water jet on the pump.
