With a maximum discharge of up to 4500 gallons per hour and a lift of 30 feet, it handles heavy covers, rainwater, or meltwater with confidence. The quick‑detach base lets you switch from a dedicated pool cover pump to a submersible sump pump in minutes, so one device covers two common jobs. It also helps protect your pool cover from heavy water that could sag or crack, especially during seasonal melt or storm events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSmart, user‑friendly design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump uses an external sensor switch rather than an internal one, which improves level detection and keeps maintenance simple. It starts automatically when the water depth reaches about 2.5 inches and stops when the level falls to around 0.75 inches, with a 30‑second dry‑run protection to avoid running dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2‑in‑1 versatility: pool cover pump and submersible sump pump in one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowerful flow up to 4500 GPH with a 30 ft lift\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal sensor switch for reliable detection and easy cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic start\/stop with dry-run protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick‑detach base for fast configuration changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 ft power cord plugs into standard 115V outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1‑1\/4\" NPT drainage port and 3\/4\" garden hose adapter with check valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt‑in overheat protection to reduce risk of damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates in water temperatures below 35°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad applications: pool covers, tarps, ponds, window wells, basements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical use cases you might consider\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeasonal meltwater and rain: drain off pool covers after storms to prevent sagging or tearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorm prep and cleanup: rapidly remove water from tarps and temporary covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasement and window well relief: quickly lower hidden water buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith CRESTWAVE, you have a dependable, flexible tool that adapts to changing conditions without promising specific outcomes, while offering multiple benefits that can help you manage outdoor water efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is the pump's maximum flow rate and lift?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Up to 4500 GPH with a 30 ft lift, depending on head height and outlet setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What safety and reliability features does it include?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: External sensor switch, automatic start\/stop with dry-run protection, and built‑in overheat protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"CRESTWAVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45739367628986,"sku":"B0F6V4CRB3","price":239.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/3536\/8890\/files\/crestwave-pool-cover-pump-4500gph.jpg?v=1774737528","url":"https:\/\/gardencanada.ca\/products\/crestwave-1-hp-pool-cover-pump-4500gph-with-external-sensor-switch","provider":"Garden Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
