Self-draining swimming pool cover

摘要

A drain assembly for a pool cover which includes a drain fitting positioned in a hole formed in the pool cover; a screen connected to the pool cover and positioned above the drain fitting to minimize the amount of debris entering the drain fitting; a buoyant barrier assembly connected to the pool cover adjacent to a perimeter of the screen to maintain a predetermined volume of water on the pool cover; and a flexible conduit connected at a first end to an outlet end of the drain fitting. A second end of the conduit is connected to an opening formed in a side of the pool. The barrier assembly includes a tubular shaped buoyant material housed within a pocket formed by two sections of material. The self-draining pool cover can also include floats for preventing portions of large pool covers from sagging into the water.
