From then on, closing the pool means snapping the freeze proof plastic cover onto that plate. The skimmer is sealed off and ice can no longer work on the throat over the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it saves money\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe usual way to protect a skimmer is to drop the water level below it, then bring it back up in the spring. That costs water, time and chemistry every year. With the skimmer covered, the water can stay where it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face plate measures 8-1\/4 inches wide by 8 inches high, with an inner opening of 5-7\/8 by 5-1\/2 inches.
