THE ULTRA GIZZMO USES THE UNIQUE SEALED AIR CUSHION OF THE GIZZMO COMBINED WITH A BUILT IN BLOWOUT TUBE. When you cover a pool with a solid cover, any rain, snow or ice on the cover raises the pool water level. The skimmer covers themselves are strong enough to stand on, but have a finger hole which will allow water in. Because of the way that the cover straps are situated, some water will puddle in areas of your cover. The use of gizmos prevents the skimmers from cracking, plugs the pipes and allows the water level to remain high for the cover so that rain water does not cause a lake on top of the swimming pool cover – possibly causing it to fall in.

The Ultra GIZZMO features double threads with rubber gaskets; a blowout tube with a rugged cap and generous lug style grips around the top for easy handling and convenience. The higher you can keep the water in the swimming pool, the better it is for your swimming pool cover and there will be much less of a chance of the cover falling in.I've noticed that the people responding to the 2 threads are talking about IGPs and AGPs yet we're not specifying which kind is being talked about (I realise that some people have specified), which may be part of the confusion, I base most of my comments on IGPs, esp when the type of pool isn't specified - maybe we should all add afew more words to our posts defining which type we're addressing - at least for the closings, the two close quite differently and what applies to one is totally wrong for the other. The New Super Gizzmo is 16 inches long and installs in big, deep skimmers of most inground swimming pools.

The simple, easy-to-install Deluxe Pool Skimmer Gizzmo will protect the skimmer in your in-ground pool from freezing during winter months. Remember…the pillow is there to take up any expansion of the water which may occur due to freezing and possibly causing the above ground swimming pool wall to split.

I thought I can simply put some heavy stuff, like rocks or sands inside an empty bottle so that it can always sink at the bottom of the skimmer box and absorb any ice expansion. To cover this I cut a piece of plastic larger than the cover and place it under the cover and then secure the cover in place. Then simply place the gizzmo inside the skimmer and cover it with skimmer cover and put a heavy brick on top of the cover. Cover Draining: Although the mesh center drain panels of your cover will allow rain water to drain into your swimming pool, they are not designed to drain off every drop of water from your cover.Of course, mesh covers allow water to p*** through so the skimmer will fill if no aquadoor is in place. Warranty does not cover labour charges, cost of lost water or chemicals, or any other damages that may occur. With the plastic gizzmo screwed in, I still can see the little bubble coming out when I blow out the air, which I think it is not as air tight as a rubber plug.

If your water level goes down further than 18″, the cover could stretch out too much and either rip or cause anchors to pull out of your deck. Warranty Coverage: Marketing World Pool Products Winterizing Accessories come with a 30 Day Limited Manufacturers Warranty. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). If you experience a lot of precipitation over the winter months when the cover is in use, it is possible that the pool could fill up, no longer allowing the water from the cover to drain into the pool. Now days, since you can use the compressor to blow out the pipes, you can keep the water level in the pool high up…so your light can stay where it is.If there are sharp points that extend into the swimming pool, like step units or “ELS”, then it is a good idea to put rags or cardboard between the cover and the points on the swimming pool which extend out. With an IG pool and a cement deck, I think I'll use gizmos even if I find a way to keep the skimmers high and dry every winter just in case.
