I have had hand soap turn to sludge & ooze out of the pump into the cabinet leaving a gooey mess.

We all have that emergency stock.

Drain all your water lines and holding tanks.  Run RV antifreeze through both your hot and cold lines.  Don’t forget your outside shower.

Maybe remove your battery and store it in the garage or basement,

What else am I missing?

I used and now my brother has used the same cover so nice 2011. I always covered the pop up whenever not in use, because it was easy to take on and off.
I also have a cover for the hybrid and its actually not that bad to put on as long as you fold it right when you take it off. I only cover for winter, but it keeps it clean and come spring I can just pretty much go.

I want to cover it but I have been told that a blue tarp is a bad idea due to condensation. I want to avoid any mildew. Any suggestions?

It's there to prevent debris from entering the pump. This type of pump has 3 diaphragms. They lose their ability to prime over time. This  is the replacement.  SHURflo 4008-101-E65 3.0 Revolution

There was plastic shaving the the filter screen, not sure from where.
