Pool Winter Skimmer Protector
Gizzmo Super Winter Skimmer Protector
The New Super Gizzmo is a 16-inch winter skimmer protector with both 1.5-inch and 2-inch threads, designed for large, deep inground pool skimmers.
The Gizzmo Super Winter Skimmer Protector (MKW-6554), also known as the New Super Gizzmo, is designed to absorb the expansion caused by winter freeze-up inside inground swimming pool skimmers. Its 16-inch length is designed for the large, deep skimmers found on most inground swimming pools.
The Super Gizzmo features both 1.5-inch and 2-inch threads, allowing one product to accommodate multiple common skimmer connections. A generous bar-style handle assists with installation, while Teflon tape can be applied to the threads for a professional fit and to improve the watertightness of the threaded joint. The Gizzmo is designed for single-season use and should be recycled after use.
