Abstract

Systems and methods for removing liquids from the surface of a non-porous material are provided. In one system, a dual-chambered siphon device includes a first lower chamber having at least one inlet that allows liquid from a surface of a pool cover to enter the first lower chamber, a float positioned within the first lower chamber that is configured to change a position within the first lower chamber based on a level of liquid within the first lower chamber, a second upper chamber that is in fluid communication with the first lower chamber, and a flap valve that is actuated by the float. The flap valve may be configured to seal an outlet in the second upper chamber when the flap valve is in a closed position and unseal the outlet in the second upper chamber when the flap valve is in an open position.
