Heavy Rains and Overflow

by Kathleen

I had an above ground pool put in during late summer. Everything is working great. But I do have a question. I have the Hayward pump and sand filter and know to drain any excess water off. I also have a little Giant Pump with base for my pool cover that works well. What I was wondering is. Is there a leveler, skimmer, pump, etc. out there that can automatically drain off any excess rain water. I just hate the thought of any water running over the sides nor going outside in heavy rains/storms. Oh, and the pool has not overflowed yet as I did go outside and put the filter on drain. Thanks!


Hi Kathleen. I am not aware of an automatic pump system for draining the water off the pool cover. If anyone has any helpful tips maybe they could add them here.

I am glad you are enjoying your pool and wish I could be of more help.
