Why it matters
The PCP01 starts automatically at about 5/8 in of water and shuts off after draining to about 1/3 in, running 20 more seconds. AgiiMan rates its 1 HP motor at up to 3,500 GPH and 36 ft of head.
Bottom suction removes water down to about 1 mm on flat surfaces. A thermal cutout at 221°F protects the motor, and it comes with three adapters and a check valve.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Starts at 5/8 in
- 1 HP
- Check valve included
Cons
- Short track record
- Import brand
- Large for a cover pump
Limitations to weigh
- On a pool cover, set the pump at the lowest point and keep the strainer clear of leaves.
- Rated flow is at little or no lift; through a garden hose or up a stairwell, expect much less.
