RunNico Pool Pump Covers for Outside Units - ABS Adjustable Pool Pump Motor Cover - Swimming Pool Motor Cover for Above Ground Protection

RunNico Pool Pump Covers for Outside Units - ABS Adjustable Pool Pump Motor Cover - Swimming Pool Motor Cover. I ordered this product to cover two of these motors --> A.O. Smith B2853 1 HP, 3450 RPM, 1 Speed, 230/115 Volts, 6.6/13.2 Amps, 1.25 Service Factor, 56Y Frame, PSC, ODP Enclosure, Square Flange Pool Motor. Both of these motors are on Pentair whisperflo pumps. I'm getting this detailed because if you have this same configuration you may not like these covers. As designed and instructed these covers did not fit my motors as they are too big for these covers. I made the covers work by eliminating the motor clamps and just resting them on top of the motors. You'll see in the attached photo that my motors are quite close to one another as well as to the Pentair Sand Filter and a cement block property wall so I have no concerns about these covers blowing away. The electrical conduit fitting diameter is very close to the width of the cover's knockout so the fit is snug and serves as 'sort of' an anchor. The extent of the contact on the top of the motor is a bit of the arch on the capacitor cover. I have read other reviewers complaints about removing the knockout for an electrical connection that should be addressed. Firstly do a dry fit of the loose parts around your motor before assembling anything and decide which knockout you need to remove and mark it so you don't forget. DO NOT assemble the parts before attempting to remove the knockout. Place the cover side on a piece of wood or some other sacrificial flat surface outside face down. Using a utility knife with a fresh blade and some patience, lightly score the outline of the knockout several times. You'll be able to see some thicker spots needing focused cutting but go easy. Heavy cuts will wander away from the outline and are a needless personal risk. Soon you'll see the knockout begin to loosen and become easily removable. You don't need dremel tools or multi-tools or grinders. Don't overthink it. I have also read complaints about how difficult it is to slide the sides on to the cover top. I can appreciate this. It is tight. I applied some Hi-Temp red grease to the ridge along the edge of the side pieces and to the contact spots on the top they go in to. If you don't have fancy grease you can probably accomplish the same thing with the silicone lubricant you use on pool parts like O-Rings or just some vaseline. I was able to push the sides into the top about 3/4's of the way manually. I finished up using a few taps with the rubber mallet I use to remove and reinstall my pump covers. I won't go into how to install the motor clamps as I didn't use them. I will address another review complaint I saw citing the fact that the cover wasn't large enough to cover the motor and the pump. Yes the description is a bit misleading. It does begin with "Pool Pump Cover..." before it goes on to say "Pool Pump Motor Cover." It is a MOTOR COVER not a pump cover. That should have been represented more clearly. The pump is full of water so it should be fine without a cover. Again, if you have the same configuration as mine and you have your heart set on using the motor clamps, this cover is likely not for you. I'm content with the covers resting on the motors and believe it will make servicing easier. I'm keeping them. Regardless of where you intend to use it and on on what you intend to use it, consider carefully the dimensions of the product. 13.4"L x 8.9"W

I was going to make a sun shade/weather cover for my pool pump motor, and then I stumbled upon this. For $20, I figured I'd give it a try. It's made of plastic, but it does the job and doesn't interfere with the air flow around the motor. It effectively keeps the direct sun off of the motor, and should add some life to it over the years. It attaches to the motor housing with plastic brackets. The plastic may dry out and crack over time, but the cost is so low and is so easily installed, that I think it's worth it. The motor costs a lot more than $20. I am running a Hayward 1.5 HP single speed vari-flo pump.

I have been using these covers for many years and work great. Easy to assemble and very light weight. Ventilation is good from all sides. Its not super sturdy so if something heavy falls on it there is a chance it can break. Great value for the money and size is just right.

DO NOT BUY! Returning this very low quality item. would give zero stars if I could. As other 1 star ratings, the item is extreme poor quality, flimsy plastic. the tops grey cover tabs that the black side panels are supposed to slide in are soo jagged sticking out, Panels will not easily slide in because of the poor quality tabs.photo attached. * others have mentioned too needing a rubber mallet hammer over and over to try to get panels to slide in *** I hurt my hand trying to assemble . I have a Porpoise Brand cover from a local pool store for $32 that has lasted 20 yrs in FL sun and only broke because of severe winds here in FL .

The RunNico Pool Pump Cover has turned out to be the unsung hero of my backyard oasis. Before getting this cover, my poor pump sounded like it was auditioning for a heavy metal band. Every time it kicked on, it was like, “Here comes the noise train!” But with this cover? Silence. Sweet, glorious silence. Design & Functionality: First off, the design is sleek and simple—not one of those clunky covers that make your yard look like a science experiment. It blends nicely, and the material feels sturdy enough to survive hurricanes and toddlers alike. (I can confirm it already survived a neighbor’s kid trying to sit on it during a BBQ.) Performance: This thing is vented perfectly, so the pump doesn’t overheat, which was my biggest concern. It also blocks out rain, dust, and random debris that usually finds a way into everything I own outdoors. No more worrying about stray leaves trying to sabotage my pump! Bonus Perks: The best part? It dramatically reduces noise! Now my pump hums quietly in the background instead of competing with my playlist for attention. It's like going from a nightclub to a relaxing spa—pure peace. Also, the installation took me about 10 minutes, which made me feel way more competent than I probably am. Verdict: If you want your pump to live longer, work better, and stay quiet (so you don’t lose your mind), the RunNico Pool Pump Cover is a no-brainer. It's like giving your pump a vacation home—and honestly, it deserves it after all the hard work it does. 5/5 stars, highly recommend! Now all I need is a cover for my neighbor’s loud lawnmower... 🌴😅

Can be awkward to install, and you might need to modify the cover clips depending on the motor physical dimensions. For Century motors the frame is the same size irrespective of its HP, likewise with most motors. Does fit over the capacitor, just not as simple as clicking into place. Adequate for the price.

Fits perfectly over my pump motor, protecting it from the extreme weather we have been getting in Georgia! Easy to put together and install with mulitple placements of the pump motor clamps to ensure a good fit.

Works great if have a round long pump. Our other one had a screen on it so had to finagle it but it worked. Would recommend.

Muito pequeno para o nosso motor

Buen producto y funcional, solo que fue muy dificil ensamblar porque al parecer no coincidian las endiduras.

Quality is terrible, one piece has a hole in it the other is covered in scratched from someone trying to scrape off areas. These look like defective pieces, that they put in a kit

This is one of the worst product I've purchased on Amazon! Very difficult to put together... poorly engineered. High possibility of breaking up while putting together. I wouldn't even buy it for free! Don't buy it!!

Macht was er soll und hält die Sandfilteranlage perfekt trocken und geschützt.
