Abstract
A device and method is provided for removing water that has accumulated on a swimming pool cover in the form of a directed stream or spray from a swimming pool cover pump having an integral water ejection spout. The water ejection spout has tubing extending from the pump housing, and a nozzle coupled to the tubing for expelling the pumped water. The water ejection spout is configured to discharge the pumped water in a directed stream or spray upwardly, outwardly and away from the swimming pool cover pump and thus the swimming pool cover. In one form, the swimming pool cover pump with integral water ejection spout includes another water outlet configured to receive a garden hose. Piping and a valve allows user selection of the desired water outlet—namely, either the water ejection spout or the garden hose water outlet.
