Winter Skimmer Plug IGSDH, For Most IG Standard Skimmers w/8" Opening
Shut the skimmer down for the season.
Winter Skimmer Plug IGSDH (For Most IG Standard Skimmers w/8" Opening) closes off the skimmer opening when you winterize the pool, stocked under SKU PST-IGSDH. 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.

How do I know this plug fits my skimmer?
Measure the skimmer opening across and down, then compare it to the fit in the part name. Above ground skimmers run standard or wide mouth in several sizes, and in ground faces are larger again, so a plug that is close but not right will float loose or refuse to seat.
Does a skimmer plug replace the rest of my closing routine?
No. Blow out the lines, plug the returns, and lower the water to whatever level your setup calls for. 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.
Can I reuse it next season?
Yes, 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.

Let customers speak for us
The bulb was lost in transit and PST reached out proactively to ask if I wanted a replacement shipped out!
part was an exact fit for my old spa, price was great thanks
Fast shipping and great customer support. I appreciate all of the help in getting my spa up and working.
The cord worked perfectly when I upgraded my older Balboa spa and pump.
I had a leak in which water was leaking out to the waste line. I could hear the water trickling in the waste line. The spider gasket in this kit resolved the issue.
Shipping and delivery were quick. Would definitely order again from PST.
Fit perfectly and works great.
Awesome item. I can control my spa from my phone!! Love it. Item was shipoed out and delivered so fast. Hooking it up was a breeze.
The support staff to make the orders were outstanding; even though I made a quantity error. And the timeliness of all the repair parts I needed to get the OLD Tiger Shark running as good as new was wonderful. My pool is crystal clear.
Fit perfectly on our bubbler lightv
The only place I could find with the part I needed. Delivery was fast and the price was great. Best pool supply store on the web.
Part was easy to find and arrived a couple of days earlier than originally scheduled.
The ceramic spindle in the center of the original impellor broke. Replacement with this part was super easy and pump performs like new.
