Method and device for removing water from a swimming pool cover

摘要

A device and method is provided for removing water that has accumulated on a swimming pool cover in the form of a directed stream or spray from a typical pool cover pump through a water ejection spout. The water ejection spout has a connector adapted to couple to an outflow connector of the pool cover pump, tubing extending from the connector, and a nozzle coupled to the tubing for expelling the pumped water. The water ejection spout is configured to discharge the pumped water in a directed stream or spray upwardly and outwardly from the pool cover pump. The tubing and nozzle may be configured to additionally discharge the pumped water in a directed stream or spray away from the pool pump, or another in a directed stream or spray over the pool pump. One form is configured to inhibit rotation and/or tipping of the pump/spout assembly.

主权项

1. A device for removing water from a swimming pool cover in conjunction with a submersible AC electricity operated swimming pool cover pump having a water outlet with an outlet connector that is threaded for releasable coupling to a correspondingly threaded inlet connector, the device comprising:
a correspondingly threaded inlet connector configured for releasable coupling to the threaded outlet connector of the water outlet of the submersible AC electricity operated swimming pool cover pump; an ess-shaped tube having a first end and a second end, the first end joined to the correspondingly threaded inlet connector; and a water ejection nozzle disposed at the second end of the ess-shaped tube, the water ejection nozzle having an orifice sized to increase velocity of ejected water over a velocity of incoming water; the ess-shaped tube and water ejection nozzle configured to expel water from the submersible AC electricity operated pool cover pump outwardly and away from the submersible AC electricity operated pool cover pump, and to allow water within the water ejection nozzle and tube to self-drain into the submersible AC electricity operated swimming pool cover pump when the submersible AC electricity operated swimming pool cover pump is not operating.
