It threads into the skimmer port and stands in the throat as a hollow body, so when the water left in the skimmer freezes and expands, the Gizzmo takes the squeeze instead of the skimmer wall. It also blocks the port, which keeps water from backing into plumbing you already blew out. A cracked skimmer is a wall repair; this is the part that stops it from becoming one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"gizzmo-spec-section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"gizzmo-spec-heading\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"gizzmo-spec-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGizzmo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal Super Gizzmo, 1 1\/2\" \/ 2\" MPT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel \/ MPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGIZ2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePST-GIZ2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinterizing skimmer protector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConnection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThreads into the skimmer port, size called out in the part name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHollow body absorbs ice expansion inside the skimmer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeason\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePool closing and winterizing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSold As\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \n  \u003csection class=\"gizzmo-faq\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"gizzmo-spec-heading\"\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"gizzmo-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"gizzmo-faq-q\"\u003eHow does a Gizzmo protect the skimmer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"gizzmo-faq-a\"\u003eWater expands when it freezes, and a skimmer full of water with nowhere to give is how skimmer walls crack.
