The Gizzmo threads into the skimmer and its sealed air cushion takes up that expansion, so the ice has somewhere to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe blowout tube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitting and service life\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDouble 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Poolguard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48625743757524,"sku":"MKW-70-6555","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_87de2971-7417-4a75-a0b5-eecc315d04c8.png?v=1788690640","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/gizzmo-ultra-16-length-1-5-2-0-for-in-ground-pools","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
