The Gizzmo sits inside and gives that expansion somewhere to be taken up, which is what keeps the skimmer from cracking over the winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing and use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Regular size at 9 in. The listing title calls it out for above ground pools, and the manufacturer description says the Regular fits the short skimmers found in both above ground and in ground pools, so measure the depth of your skimmer before ordering. If yours is deeper, the longer Ultra size is the one to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt closing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bar style grip makes it easy to hand tighten, and teflon tape on the threads gives a cleaner fit.
