Tips For Protecting Pool Skimmers From Winter Damage

Описание: From https://www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pag... - Your pool skimmer is one of the most likely parts of your swimming pool to suffer a failure during the Winter season. Freezing water can expand within the skimmer pipes or within the skimmer body itself push and push outwards Causing the plastic to break. There are some extra steps that you can take when winterizing a pool skimmer which will help you to likely avoid damage to the skimmer over the Winter season. 1st the use of closed cell phone would be a good idea as this will help to protect the pipes themselves should some water find its way back into them after you have winterized the pipes. In addition to that you should probably also use a few liters or a gallon at most of antifreeze inside of the skimmer pipes . Again this will help to protect them should some water find its way in there. The layers of protection like this is the single best way to protect pool skimmers from damage.

We are not done yet as there is more that we can do to protect pool skimmers from winter damage. You should consider adding antifreeze into the body of the skimmer itself but then also stuffing the body of the skimmer with empty pop bottles. Any kind of pop bottles or empty plastic bottles wedged into the skimmer should help to provide some resistance against freezing damage. Image. It is a very affordable layer protection which every skimmer could benefit from. Finally be sure to use a Gizzmo product which is designed to thread into the skimmer ports. This Gizzmo product is again just another layer of protection that we are adding to the skimmer body. Hopefully one or more of these layers of protection will be enough to prevent damage from freezing to your pool skimmer this winter.  For more info check out this video about winterizing pool skimmers:    • How To Winterize A Pool 2 - Skimmers
