It suits the wide mouth skimmers fitted to Olympic, Trevi and Aqualeader pools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is used\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClosing an above ground pool normally means dropping the water below the skimmer so the throat cannot take on ice. A skimmer plate and cover seals the opening instead, which keeps the water level up and keeps the liner supported through the cold months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the fit first\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove ground skimmer openings are not standardized. The outside measures 14-1\/8 inches by 7-3\/4 inches and the inside opening is 11-1\/2 inches by 5-1\/8 inches. Take a tape to your skimmer and compare both before you order, because a plate that is close but not right will not seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe face plate and the cover.
