The pump features an auto on\/off float switch that activates and shuts down the unit without manual intervention, reducing repetitive cycling and wear. Flow rate reaches up to 3,000 gallons per hour through a 1-1\/4 inch drain hose connection. A built-in check valve with a 3\/4 inch garden hose adapter is included to help maintain prime and limit unnecessary cycling. Pool service technicians and homeowners use this pump as a seasonal maintenance tool to protect pool covers from water accumulation and structural stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe WAPC250 is suited for residential in-ground and above-ground pool applications where water collects on the cover surface during off-season or between uses. The unit ships with a 25-foot power cord and a 25-foot pull-to-shore rope that allows the operator to position and retrieve the pump from the pool deck without entering the water. The auto on\/off operation makes it practical for unattended use during rain events or snowmelt periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuto on\/off float switch for hands-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum flow rate of 3,000 GPH using 1-1\/4 inch drain hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes check valve with 3\/4 inch garden hose adapter to reduce repetitive cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25-foot power cord included for poolside reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25-foot pull-to-shore rope for safe pump positioning and retrieval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use pump for residential pool cover water removal applications requiring a 1-1\/4 inch discharge connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation and use of this pump must be performed with the cord plugged into a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) outlet — this is a non-negotiable electrical safety requirement near water. Always power down and unplug the unit before handling or repositioning. Use the included pull-to-shore rope rather than the power cord to move the pump across the cover surface. This type of pump is typically serviced by pool technicians or knowledgeable homeowners familiar with NEC requirements for outdoor and wet-location electrical equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor Power\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Flow Rate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3,000 GPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDischarge Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarden Hose Adapter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Cord Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePull-to-Shore Rope Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 00040066214973\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WAYNE WATER SYSTEMS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: WAPC250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WAYNE WATER SYSTEMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347819462962,"sku":"WAPC250","price":322.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310551729.jpg?v=1782114424","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/wayne-water-systems-wapc250-pool-cover-pump-1-4-hp","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
