Its bottom-suction layout pulls water down close to the surface, while an integrated automatic switch and thermal protection reduce the chance of motor damage. The pump ships with a 25-foot cord, adapters and a three-year warranty for basic peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the automatic on\/off switch work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump detects water and starts when water depth reaches about 2 inches, then keeps running until water is reduced to roughly 2\/5 of an inch. After reaching the low level, it runs 60 seconds more to clear residual water and then stops, preventing unnecessary runtime. This eliminates the need for manual monitoring in most use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic activation at ~2\" water depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRuns an extra 60 seconds after reaching ~2\/5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces need for manual on\/off control\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdeal for unattended outdoor covers and low-depth drains\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat drainage performance can I expect from this 1\/3 HP pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a maximum flow of up to 2,950 gallons per hour, the Acquaer cover pump moves large volumes quickly for its size, making it suitable for fast water removal from covers and shallow basins.
