Blue Devil Adjustable Motor Cover, water resistant

HIGHTLY RECOMMENDEDI have had one of these on my well pump for 15 years, and it still is holding up well, and has kept that pump running trouble free, even though it is exposed to the elements back behind the hedges.I am using this new one for the pool pump just to keep the rain and sunshine off of it trying to buy a couple more years of life for it.I see a good deal of negative reviews, and I am left scratching my head as to why?PRO:It looks better than an un-protected pump.This cover does in fact protect the pump well from rain, dirt, and direct sunshine.It seems to last a long time even in direct sun.Adds years to your expensive pool pumpCON:The only con is that the material is a bit brittle when handled harshly.I suggest that you take a couple of extra minutes to test fit, and figure out which size pump housing you are attaching it to. There are two sizes marked on the locking tab. L and S. Start with the L just double check before you assemble the cover.Also when cutting out the knock out BE CAREFUL NOT TO DESTROY THE COVER. It can be tricky, place the panel on an old phone book so you can SLOWLY work a sharp pointed knife or blade into the cut out. Do Not Force it, it will break if done too harshlyTAKE YOUR TIME DO NOT FORCE IT. Use finesse rather that a Tour De Force. If you get it right it will last a long time. And for $20 it is disposable...RIGHT?---UPDATE---A year of Florida sunshine later it is still good.5 Stars A++ RECOMMENDEDVOTE thumbs UP IF YOU FOUND THIS HELPFUL

Use to cover pool pump. Worked as designed. It is all plastic so wont take alot of abuse. Snaps together then snaps on pump. Fits multiple size pumps.

I bought 2 of these. One for my Hayward pool pump, and one for my J10 1HP Goulds water pump.The cover fit perfectly on the pool pump once removed the cable cutout, but removing the cutout is not easy if you don’t have the proper tools. I used a chisel and a hammer to cut through the recessed plastic. It’s very rigid and cannot be cut with a knife or scissors. They do say to keep scoring it until it’s thin enough to pop out, but I was afraid I’d slip and cut myself, so the chisel seemed safer.When it came to the water pump, the cutout was not going to work because of the pressure switch location. The vents on the side of the cover were interfering with the pressure switch box, so it required a modification to make it fit over the pressure switch and still line up with the pump bracket mounting locations. I had to use the large pump bracket location for the water pump so the cover would clear the top of the pressure switch.Since I had limited tools for cutting the rigid plastic, I marked the area I wanted to cut out, and I used a wood burner with a cutting tip to cut the plastic. It took some time to melt through the plastic, but it worked. If you have a Dremel with a disc cutter, that would probably work way better, and faster!All in all, the covers are aesthetically pleasing and will protect the pumps from sun and rain. Since pumps are a fairly expensive investment, I’m glad I bought these covers.

Excellent for the price. Does not fit exactly, but it is a "Universal" after all. It went over the pump motor fine and does its intended job. I cut a small area out to go around the output of the pump so it would slide forward and protect the front of the motor since it was long enough to still cover the back of the motor. does not go all the way to the ground on mine, but I may put plastic on the bottom to extend it a bit to stop water from splashing in on the sides. That might be over kill. It does protect the pump from the rain and sun.

This is a plastic pool pump hood or cover to protect the pump from the elements. You need to place the adjustable inserts to tailor it to your particular pump. Where it falls down is the help offered in tailoring it to your pump.The point of this is to cover an outdoor pump. It starts off well designed, but falls down on design thinking follow-thru. It gives only one possible placement for the power cable that is coming out of the side of the pump. They stamp out a removable panel and it is on both sides of the plastic perforated piece of sidewall. If your power is not in the ONLY place they made the perforation then you have to be able to modify it yourself and you have to be medium level handy. It would have been easy for perforations to be made and stamped into the plastic so you can make it conform to you individual pump.This is basic fail is on thinking the product thru and providing perforations to accommodate whatever your pump configuration may be. Obviously my pool pump has power coming out at a different place from where they expect the power to be coming out. One perforation is provided and if that isn't the right spot, you need to be prepared to make the modification yourself. It would have been easy to provide a multitude of perforations and you can punch out the right spot for access to your power entrance into the pump. They not only provide only one such place, it is in the very same spot on both sides of the "hood" lol. They could have perfed each side different. Bottom line, you need to be handy enough to make it fit for your use.The bad thing it, it is such a design thing to fix I am surprised it wasn't already incorporated.Look at your own pump and see what could be blocking this hood from simply sliding onto the pumps topside. In my case, the power comes out the side of the pump and there is no way to just pop the hood into place without modding the design. This difficulty level would be moderate to medorate high depending on if you can score and cut out a hole in the plastic.
