After a day of heavy rainfall, 10 inches (geez !), I need to drain some of the water off my winter cover. I have been looking around for an inexpensive pool cover pump. I'm wondering if the cheap hand siphon pumps work ok? , or is there a better model ? Also, how much water should remain on the cover ? Should some be left on the cover to help the cover stay in place, from wind getting up and under the cover?

thanks
