How the Gizzmo Skimmer Guard Works:  Every pool has a skimmer. When water freezes it expands. The expansion breaks the skimmer. The Skimmer Guard absorbs the expansion. The water crushes the Skimmer Guard instead of destroying the skimmer. It's That Simple!  The Skimmer Guard is designed to absorb the expansion of winter freeze-up in skimmers only.
