Product details

The Poolguard Ultra Gizzmo is a skimmer freeze protection device for in ground pools, 16 inches long, with tapered pipe threads in 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch so it suits most skimmers.

How it protects the skimmer

Water left in a skimmer throat expands as it freezes and can split the housing, which is an expensive repair buried in the deck. The Gizzmo threads into the skimmer and its sealed air cushion takes up that expansion, so the ice has somewhere to go.

The blowout tube

What separates the Ultra from a plain Gizzmo is the integral blowout tube. It doubles as a suction line extension, so the lines can be cleared without lowering the pool water level first. The tube has a rugged cap, and lug style grips around the top give enough purchase to turn it in and out by hand.

Fitting and service life

Double threads with rubber gaskets do most of the sealing work, and teflon tape gives a professional fit. Poolguard designs the Gizzmo for a single season, so replace it at each closing instead of putting last winter one back in.
