The **Swimline 5436** (Cover Saver) is a hand-operated, non-electric siphon pump that effortlessly drains water from above-ground pool winter covers—no power required and self-stopping once the cover is dry.
What’s Included:
- Drain disc that sits on pool cover surface
- Hand-operated priming bulb to start siphon action
- 13′ (approx.) length of clear hose for routing water away
- Garden hose adapter and two hose clamp fittings
Key Features:
- No electricity needed—ideal for remote or cord-restricted locations
- Automatically stops when cover water is fully drained
- Portable and lightweight for seasonal storage and reuse
- Simple, user-friendly setup—requires only manual pumping to start siphon

- Model Number: 5436
- Operation: Hand-primed siphon; no battery or power
- Hose Length: Approximately 13 ft (clear vinyl tubing)
- Weight: Approximately 3.2 lbs (assembled)
- Flow Rate: Up to ~5 gallons per minute, depending on elevation and siphon pressure
Benefits:
- Prevents cover sagging and water damage due to standing water

Usage Note: Place the drain disc on the pool cover in a low spot, squeeze the primer bulb until water flows, and route the hose downhill as the siphon draws water away. It stops automatically once the cover is dry.
