It blocks water and debris from filling the skimmer throat, where trapped water can freeze, expand, and crack the housing that is molded into your wall. Skimmer openings are not standardized between brands or between above ground and in ground pools, so measure the opening and match it to the fit listed in the part name before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"skimplug-spec-section\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"skimplug-spec-heading\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003ctable class=\"skimplug-spec-table\"\u003e\n      \u003ctbody\u003e\n        \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFor ABG Wide Mouth w\/11.5\" x 4 7\/8\" Opening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel \/ MPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAGWMH2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePST-AGWMH2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWinter skimmer plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFits\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkimmer opening called out in the part name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePool Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAbove ground or in ground, per the part name\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\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeals the skimmer opening through the off season\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=\"skimplug-faq\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"skimplug-spec-heading\"\u003eGood to Know\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"skimplug-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"skimplug-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I know this plug fits my skimmer?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"skimplug-faq-a\"\u003eMeasure the skimmer opening across and down, then compare it to the fit in the part name.

The skimmer plug seals the opening so the throat is not left holding water and leaves. Many pools also run a compensator or skimmer protector inside the skimmer to absorb any ice that does form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n    \u003cdiv class=\"skimplug-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"skimplug-faq-q\"\u003eCan I reuse it next season?\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp class=\"skimplug-faq-a\"\u003eYes, as long as the body is not cracked or deformed. Rinse it when you open the pool, check the sealing surface for splits, and store it dry and out of direct sun. A plug that has gone brittle or lost its shape will not seal a second winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n  \n\n  \u003cfooter class=\"skimplug-footer\"\u003e\n    Free Shipping\u003cspan class=\"skimplug-dot\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003e30-Day Returns\u003cspan class=\"skimplug-dot\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003eWarranty Backed\u003cspan class=\"skimplug-dot\"\u003e•\u003c\/span\u003ePool Winterizing Specialists\n  \u003c\/footer\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Skimmer Plug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44289628471361,"sku":"PST-AGWMH2","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.pstpoolsupplies.com\/products\/winter-skimmer-plug-for-abg-wide-mouth-w-11-5-x-4-7-8-opening-agwmh2","provider":"PST Pool Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
