Cleartide Smart Automatic Pool Cover Pump — 1/3 HP Submersible, 2,790 GPH, Auto On/Off & Freeze Protection, 25 ft Cord

Cleartide Smart Automatic Water Pool Cover Pump is a 2-in-1 submersible pump that automatically removes water from inground and above-ground pool covers, delivering up to 2,790 GPH with built-in freeze protection and smart shut-off.

Designed for winter pool care and general utility jobs, this Cleartide pump combines a quick-detach base and a powerful 1/3 HP motor so you can switch between a pool cover pump and a submersible utility pump in seconds. It pairs high flow and a 30 ft lift capacity with patented safety features — auto shut-off when dry or tipped, self-clearing airlocks, and continuous winter monitoring — so you can plug it in and let it run without constant supervision.

How does the pump know when to turn on and off?

The Cleartide uses a smart water-sensing system that activates automatically when standing water reaches about 1½ inches and stops once the level drops to the preset cutoff. In Auto mode the pump avoids float jams and moving parts by using electronic sensing; Manual mode lets the motor run immediately when plugged in regardless of water depth.

• Auto mode engages at ~1.5" water depth and stops at the factory cutoff level
• Manual mode runs instantly with no minimum water level
• Electronic sensing removes need for floats and reduces jam risk
• Continuous winter monitoring restarts pumping when ice thaws

What protections prevent damage or failure?

Cleartide built triple protections into the pump to guard against dry-run, overheat, and overload conditions, extending motor life and reducing maintenance. If the unit tips over or runs dry it cuts power within seconds; patented features also clear air locks automatically or with a single-button release so you do not need tools to recover the pump.

• Auto shut-off in 5 seconds when dry or tipped
• Self-clearing airlock system and one-press release
• Overheat and overload protections to prevent motor damage
• Continuous monitoring through freeze cycles for unattended protection

How easy is it to switch between cover pumping and utility tasks?

The pump’s quick-detach base separates in seconds so you can convert from a dedicated pool cover pump to a submersible utility pump without extra tools or parts. Included fittings and accessories speed installation and let you connect to common hoses or outlet points right away.

• Quick-detach base for fast role change between jobs
• Comes with elbow fitting, two adapters, and 25 ft cord and rope
• Handles debris with triple filtration and anti-lock rotor design
• 1/3 HP motor delivers 2,790 GPH and 30 ft maximum lift

What maintenance and durability features should I expect?

Maintenance is minimal: the clog-free design and triple filtration keep large debris out while the Smart Anti-Lock Rotor prevents jams. If an airlock occurs the pump either auto-restarts to clear it or you can use the one-touch release; the quick-detach base simplifies access for occasional cleaning.

• Triple filtration keeps leaves and chunks from entering the pump
• Smart Anti-Lock Rotor prevents and clears jams automatically
• One-press airlock release avoids partial disassembly
• Durable construction plus certifications (cSAus/FCC/IC EMC) and 3-year coverage

Who is this for: homeowners with seasonal pools who want a dependable, low-maintenance way to manage runoff on winter covers and occasional dewatering tasks, property managers who need an easy-convert pump for both cover and utility use, and anyone seeking a safer, hands-off pump with freeze-cycle monitoring. If you need a high-flow, clog-resistant solution that starts and stops intelligently and reduces winter worries, the Cleartide Smart Automatic Water Pool Cover Pump is built for that job.
