How does the LGW500500 compare to larger sump pumps?
The LGW500500 advantage lies in fitting where bigger pumps can’t. However, the sum pump still delivers efficient performance. It does work best for modest water flow needs.
Pro Tip: Always ensure the pump intake stays clear of debris. Small pumps perform best when water flow isn’t restricted by sediment buildup.

FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
Do I really need a winter pool cover?
Yes, using a winter pool cover is one of the best ways to protect your pool during the off-season. A quality cover keeps out leaves, dirt, and debris and limits sunlight exposure that causes algae growth.
How do I choose the right size winter pool cover for my pool?
Your winter cover should match your pool’s shape and be slightly larger than the pool’s actual dimensions. For above-ground pools, this extra material is called the overlap and allows the cover to secure over the top rails.
How long should a winter pool cover last?
The lifespan of a winter pool cover depends on material quality, UV resistance, and how well it’s maintained. Heavy-duty woven polyethylene covers with UV inhibitors can last many seasons. Investing in a higher-quality cover often reduces replacement costs over time.
