Abstract: A pump system or device is provided for removing water from a pool cover or sump, featuring a controller configured to respond to a signal containing information about the ambient temperature in relation to a pump and to provide a controller signal containing information to control the operation of the pump based at least partly on the ambient temperature. The pumping system or device me be configured to include some combination of the following: temperature sensing, including a Thermistor, to change control logic at temperatures below a specific level (e.g. below 35 degrees F.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery operated solar pump kit is provided including a solar panel to provide solar power via an electrical terminal, an inline submersible pump and a control box containing a pipe fitting, a rechargeable battery, an electrical fitting and an on/off switch. The inline submersible pump passes through a rain barrel, having a hose to discharge rainwater from the rain barrel, and a power cord, which is coupled to the rechargeable battery. The pipe fitting couples to the hose to receive the pumped rainwater and to a garden hose to provide the pumped rainwater. The electrical fitting couples the rechargeable battery to the electrical terminal of the solar panel and receives solar power to recharge the rechargeable battery. The on/off switch couples the rechargeable battery and the power cord to turn the inline submersible pump on/off to pump the rainwater.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery operated solar pump kit is provided to arrange in relation to a rain barrel, comprising comprises a solar panel, an inline submersible pump and a control box. The solar panel responds to solar energy, and provides solar power via an electrical terminal. The inline submersible pump is shaped to pass through an opening of the rain barrel, has a hose to extend out of the opening to discharge the rainwater from the rain barrel, and has a power cord to received electrical power to operate the inline submersible pump. The control box has a housing to contain a pipe fitting, a rechargeable battery, an electrical fitting and an on/off switch. The pipe fitting couples to the hose of the inline submersible pump in order to receive the rainwater being pumped from the rain barrel, and also couples to a garden hose to provide the rainwater being pumped. The rechargeable battery is coupled to the power cord of the inline submersible pump to provide the electrical power.

Abstract: A portable inline pump kit is provided featuring a pump having a fluid output port configured to pump fluid, and having a quick disconnect power input connection to couple the pump to a source of power; a portable battery or battery pack having a power connection to be coupled by wiring to the pump; a connector having a bullet connector to couple to the quick connect power input connection of the pump, and having another bullet connector to couple to the power connection of the portable battery or battery pack; an alligator style battery connector having a bullet connector to couple to the input connection of the pump, and having a pair of alligator style battery clips to couple to terminals of a battery, including a car or boat battery; a cigarette lighter connector having a bullet connector to couple to the power input connection of the pump, and having a cigarette lighter power adapter to be coupled to a remote cigarette lighter in, e.g.
