On the gizmo issue, I don't rely on that solely for expansion, I pack the skimmer with noodle type closed cell foam. I guess what I meant is that the amount of water in the skimmer, at least in my pool will not lift the cover.Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. The incredible Ultra GIZZMO skimmer freeze protection device uses the unique sealed air cushion of the GIZZMO combined with a built in blowout tube.

Realize that the higher their water level is through the winter, the better it is for the pool cover.

If you have tile, and you do not lower the water level, then if the water freezes, it can expand outwards and actually crack the tile. I haven't tried the AquaDoors, which sound great, but only if I don't have to lower the water level. I actually thought of using another way that people suggested, an empty plastic bottle ( like antifreeze bottle) with some small rocks inside (so that it sink in the bottom of the skimmer) to replace the gizzmo. Then they used to have to remove the light and drop it to the bottom of the pool because if the pool water froze, it might expand and actually crack the light.

AFTER POOL WATER LEVEL IS BELOW SKIMMER, SCREW THE ULTRA GIZZMO INTO EITHER 1 1/2" OR 2" THREADS UNTIL SECURELY SEATED IN SKIMMER. plus with the rubber plug on, I can make sure there is no water back into the skimmer line, so no need to pour in the anti freeze.This will give a good seal and allow you to blow out the entire system from that one spot – but this is up to you. The question of aquadoors and skimmers / Gizzmos etc, has come up a couple of times today and there's something I haven't seen addressed yet. This warranty will be void if the accessory becomes damaged as a result of improper installation or use. If not use a rubber plug and then take a plastic quart bottle fill about 1/3 with small rocks and put in the skimmer.
