Atlantic TUP Series Pond/Pool Cleanout Pump
Complete Drainage for Pools, Spas, and Ponds
The Atlantic TUP Series Cleanout Pump delivers professional-grade performance for complete water removal from swimming pools, spas, and pond installations. Engineered with corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel and composite construction, this continuous-duty pump withstands harsh chemical environments including chlorine, salt, and acid exposure that would degrade conventional pumps.
Designed specifically for cleanout applications, the TUP Series features a compact diameter that fits into most standard pool drains, allowing you to drain water down to as little as 0.5" depth. Whether you're closing a pool for winter, performing major maintenance, or draining a pond for renovation, this pump provides the reliability and efficiency professionals demand.
Engineered for Harsh Environments
The 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion from chlorinated pool water, saltwater systems, and acidic treatments that rapidly deteriorate standard pumps. Composite components are chemically resistant and UV-stable, ensuring long-term durability even in demanding outdoor applications. This robust construction makes the TUP Series equally suitable for pool maintenance, spa service, and pond cleanout projects.
Advanced Drainage Technology
The shallow water bottom intake is engineered to remove water down to just 0.5" depth, eliminating the need for manual mopping or vacuuming to complete drainage. The compact footprint fits into most swimming pool main drains, allowing you to utilize existing drain infrastructure for efficient water removal.
A high-visibility low water level indicator band provides at-a-glance monitoring from a distance, so you can track drainage progress without constant inspection. This feature is particularly valuable when draining large pools or managing multiple cleanout projects.
Continuous-Duty Reliability
The continuous-duty motor is built for extended operation with double mechanical seals that protect against water intrusion and thermal overload protection that prevents damage from excessive heat. Flow-through internal cooling keeps the pump operating safely even when not fully immersed, a critical feature during the final stages of drainage when water levels drop below the pump housing.
This cooling design allows the pump to run continuously until the job is complete, eliminating the need to monitor water levels and manually shut down the pump to prevent overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this pump for both pools and ponds?
Yes. The TUP Series is designed for both pool and pond cleanout applications. The chemical-resistant construction handles chlorinated and saltwater pools as well as freshwater ponds.
How low can this pump drain water?
The shallow water bottom intake can drain down to approximately 0.5" depth, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for manual water removal to complete drainage.
Will the pump overheat if it's not fully submerged?
No. The flow-through internal cooling system is specifically designed to keep the pump operating safely even when water levels drop below the pump housing during final drainage stages.
What size hose does the pump accept?
The pump includes a backwash hose adapter fitting. Consult the product specifications or contact support for specific hose diameter compatibility based on your application.
Can I leave the pump running unattended?
While the pump features thermal overload protection and flow-through cooling, it's recommended to periodically check drainage progress. The high-visibility indicator band allows monitoring from a distance.
Is this pump suitable for saltwater pools?
Yes. The 316 stainless steel construction is specifically chosen for its superior resistance to saltwater corrosion, making it ideal for saltwater pool systems.
How do I maintain the pump?
After each use, rinse the pump thoroughly with fresh water to remove chemical residues. Inspect seals periodically and store in a dry location. The corrosion-resistant construction minimizes maintenance requirements.
Can I use this pump for continuous circulation?
No. The TUP Series is designed specifically for cleanout and drainage applications, not continuous circulation. Use dedicated circulation pumps for ongoing filtration and water movement.
