HIGHTLY RECOMMENDED This cover does in fact protect the pump well from rain, dirt, and direct sunshine.
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

Serves its purpose, but not easily installed
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.

Fits the pump perfectly
This cover fits my pool pump perfectly and keeps it out of the sun. Very well made and the price was good too.

Works as intended...
This item works as intended for the added protection of my pool monitor. It prevents rain water from entering the monitor compartment. This reduces water damage, which will lengthen longevity. It completely fits the pool motor all the way to the end of the motor with some overlap to spare. However, the fit isn't snug. It's relatively inexpensive, but the plastic material is somewhat flimsy & cheap.

Unsure if it is necessary
The media could not be loaded. I had to replace my pool pump and I wanted to make sure it is well protected, as much as a pool pump can be. My previous pump was not protected and only lasted 8 years, but it gave me nothing but trouble at the beginning of spring each year. Even though it ran during winter/fall too. So this was a recommendation from the new pool pump manufacturer and for $20, I figured why not. I am not a fan of the Mattel looking blue and white, so I rattle canned it black to match my existing pool equipment. Now it looks much better.As far as putting it to gather, for the most part it was simple, just that clip on the inside ended cutting my finger. Instructions were meh, but not terrible, take your time. Connects to the pool pump as designed and stays in place. Easy to remove and put back.

Plastic and will not fit.
This is made of plastic and it is not universal. We paid for a piece of junk. Would not recommend buying it at all.

Pool pump cover
I like that it covers the necessary part of the pump that would get more heat from sun exposure. It was easy to put together. Only gripe is that it's all plastic so you need to be very careful in assembly. I still gave it five stars due to the fact that it's an ideal fit.
