What makes the Swimline 5436 the right cover pump for above-ground pool covers?
The Swimline 5436 delivers reliable siphon drainage without the cost of an electric pump. Typically, the non-electric design is the preferred choice for pool owners who want a simple seasonal solution. Which makes it a practical and affordable option for above-ground pool cover maintenance.
What Do Pool Professionals Recommend About Non-Electric Siphon Cover Pumps?
Honestly, we recommend the siphon style all the time — especially to customers who've burned out an electric pump by running it dry or leaving it in the cold. No motor means nothing to fail. Prime it, set it, walk away.
Why Buy the Swimline 5436 from ShastaPoolSupply.com?
Shasta Pool Supply offers the Swimline 5436 at the best price online. Furthermore, our pool professionals can answer questions about cover pump selection and winter closing. We are celebrating 60 years of helping pool owners protect and maintain their investment.
How do I get water off my pool cover without a pump?
You can, but a siphon pump makes it a lot easier and safer. Trying to manually scoop or broom water off a cover risks tearing it or dumping dirty cover water into your pool. The Swimline 5436 just sits on top and drains water away through the included hose — no electricity, no mess, no risk of puncturing the cover.
- Hand-squeeze primer starts flow in seconds
- Directs water away from pool — keeps cover water out of the pool
- Safe on covers. No sharp parts, no suction risk
What is the best non-electric pool cover pump for winter?
For most above-ground pool owners, a siphon-style cover pump like the Swimline 5436 is the right call. It's got no motor to fail, no cord to manage, and it stops on its own once the water's gone. That auto-shutoff alone is worth it — electric pumps sitting in a dry, frozen cover is a common way people ruin equipment.
- No electricity or batteries needed
- Auto-stops when cover is drained — can't run dry
- 13 ft. hose included. Works on most standard above-ground covers

Thank you Dan for helping me out, very much appreciated!
