How do I use the Cover Pump?

It doesn’t get any easier than this to keep your boat cover clear of water!

Simply use the included wall charger when you receive your unit. Plug the unit into the wall (120V US) for 3 hours to pre-condition the internal battery. After 3 hours, the pump is ready to use.

The Cover Pump will not need to plugged into the wall again as long as it remains outside and in view of daylight.

Set the pump in the lowest spot on your cover, lay the included discharge hose over the side of your boat and the pump will automatically remove water as needed, day or night.

We include 8’ of ultra flexible hose to use your boat cover pump. This is enough length to make sure your hose is able to reach over the side of the vessel for water removal. We’ve tested this on boat covers up to 30’ and the 8’ is the perfect amount of hose for easy setup and stowage.

How does the Cover Pump work?

This pump has built in water sensors that detect rising water levels. Once water is detected, It will activate to remove the accumulated water. Water detection typically happens with 1” of water or less, making this a true low-profile pump. The unit will pump until the water is removed and will continue to monitor water accumulation on your cover, activating when water is detected (day and night). The built-in battery system is designed for solar use and will provide enough power to remove 80+ gallons of water with just a couple hours of sunlight charging. The unit is fully automatic and will self-charge as needed.

Can the cover pump be used on all boat covers?

Yes! The Cover Pump is specifically designed for all boat covers (Sunbrella, canvas, polyester, pvc) providing you with low profile water removal and keeping 100#’s of pounds of water off your cover for months on end. Water weighs 8.6lbs/ gallon. A typical summer afternoon storm can drop 30+ gallons (258lbs) of water on your cover!

Keeping water off your cover will reduce the chances of stressing interior components (windshields, accessories) while avoiding the growth of mildew and mold. The Cover Pump removes water in real time as it accumulates.

Does the Cover Pump have to be charged after every use?

No. The unit will charge itself during daylight hours (even when it is less than “sunny” out). The Cover Pump is ready to remove water, day and night. The pump is designed to be left outside and in view of the sky whenever possible to keep its battery full and ready for use.

Can I use the Cover Pump as a stand-alone portable bilge pump?

No. This unit is specifically designed for boat covers and the removal of rainwater from boat covers.

If you are looking for dual use - standalone bilge pump that can be used on covers as well, check out our Raintaker Solar Bilge Pump.

What type of warranty is included?

The Cover Pump comes with a 1-YEAR NO-HASSLE WARRANTY.

We stand behind our product and we will do our absolute best to make sure you are 100% satisfied. The internal components are designed for intense summer storms and the unit is backed by Raintaker USA.
