Aquador Widemouth Skimmer Cover Kit 1010 — Easy Winterization for Vinyl Pools

Aquador Widemouth Skimmer Cover Kit 1010

Designed for vinyl pool owners, this practical kit makes off season care easier. Instead of draining water or wrestling with complex procedures, you simply replace the skimmer plate with the Winter Skimmer Closure Face Plate and snap on the freeze resistant plastic closure. The result is a streamlined winterization routine that can save you time, water, and chemicals while helping shield your skimmer from freeze damage.

With a focus on ease, the Aquador approach treats your skimmer like a reliable storage solution for the off season. Think of it as a durable lid that blocks wind and cold from reaching the delicate interior of the skimmer, so you can return to pool use with less cleanup when summer returns.

How it works

Install is straightforward using a Phillips screwdriver to swap the standard skimmer plate with the closure face plate, then snap on the plastic closure. The closure remains in place through seasonal temperature changes, providing a seal that reduces the risk of freeze damage and minimizes the need for fall drain downs.
