INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the AutoDrain
Automatic Cover Water Removal System.
Proper installation and maintenance of your system will
ensure reliable performance of the AutoDrain system for
years to come .
The AutoDrain Automatic Water Removal System is an
advanced cover pump that brings modern technology
and convenience to your pool . The AutoDrain system
automatically positions itself on top of the pool cover
while the cover is closing . This will keep rain water from
collecting on the top of your cover, maintaining safety
and the reliable operation of your automatic pool cover .
GENERAL OPERATION
Operating your AutoDrain system is simple and easy .
The AutoDrain system will deploy while you are closing
your automatic safety cover . When rain water begins to
collect on your cover, advanced water detection technol-
ogy will turn on the AutoDrain system and evacuate
water automatically . When all of the water has been
removed the AutoDrain system will shutoff and wait until
more water collects .
When you are ready to enjoy your swimming pool, sim-
ply open your automatic safety cover and the AutoDrain
system will retract into the cover housing with the auto-
matic safety cover .

MAINTENANCE
The AutoDrain system was designed to provide you with
ease and convenience for many years . Properly main-
taining your AutoDrain system will ensure good perfor-
mance and longer life .
Clean the AutoDrain System Filter Regularly
The AutoDrain system was designed to automatically
remove standing water from the top of the automatic
safety cover . If performance of water removal begins to
diminish, it is most likely caused by a buildup of debris
around the AutoDrain system pump head . Cleaning the
filter grates will restore performance and extend the life
of your AutoDrain system .
There are two filter grates on the AutoDrain system
pump head . Remove any large debris from around the
filter grate plate on the underside of the pump head .
Visually inspect the yellow grate inside of the pump
head . If debris has collected in this area, remove the five
screws that attach the filter grate plate to the pump head .
Gently remove the yellow filter and clean it . Reattach the
yellow filter and filter grate plate with screws .
