Gizzmo MWUG Ultra Skimmer Freeze Protection with Blowout Valve, 16- Inch

The gizmo is the best! I bought 2 different ones at a local store and based on where the the hole was in the drain, they would t quite fit. So, if you have an offset drain in your skimmer, this works perfectly!

Work fantastic and are a great valve.

This skimmer protector installs easily and provides peace of mind during freezing temperatures. The material feels durable and well made. It fits securely and does exactly what it’s designed to do. A must-have for winter pool closing. Highly recommended for pool owners in cold climates.

I was reluctant at first but I decided to give it a try, we get deep freezing in Massachusetts. I used to partially drain my above ground pool but I had a lot of problems after closing for the winter. I use water bags to hold a mesh cover over the pool, After repeated rains and snow, the water bags and mesh cover got pulled quite a bit becoming displaced and falling into the pool, or to the sides of the pool, big pain in the rear to replace the bags and stretch the cover. I used this gizmo, combined with a return plug and did not drain the pool at all. I was concerned at first because watershed gizmo did not seal tight, but after opening the pool early this summer, there was no damage to the skimmer or any other parts. It din not only save me work mantaining the cover and bags in place during the winter (because they did not move at all since the water level was maintained), but also saved me money in refilling the pool, and more importantly, I was able to open the pool in one afternoon, instead of at least two days as before. An incredible improvement from a cheap device. I wish I would have done it earlier! I do recommend it.

Exactly what I expected. Good quality. No issues
