SimPoolTec IGSD-H In-Ground Pool Skimmer Plug
Part # IGSD-H — a winterizing skimmer plug designed to seal standard in-ground pool skimmers and protect plumbing from freeze damage during cold weather or extended shutdowns.
Key Features
- Skimmer plug dimensions: approx. 7-9/16" wide × 5-5/8" high — fits most standard 8" in-ground skimmers.
- Durable ABS faceplate with a RovaSeal™ foam insert that expands to form a 100% air- and water-tight seal.
- Plug installs without tools — simply press into the skimmer opening until flush against the faceplate.
- Provides full protection against freezing, water intrusion, and potential cracking of skimmer walls or plumbing during pool winterization.
- Chemical-, UV-, mold- and mildew-resistant construction for long-term storage and heavy-duty seasonal use.
Typical Applications
Use when winterizing an in-ground pool or spa to keep the skimmer and connected plumbing dry and protected from freeze. Also useful when shutting down the pool for extended periods or during transportation/storage of the pool cover — no need to drain the skimmer or pool water.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
At pool closing, simply press the IGSD-H plug into the skimmer opening until the foam expands behind the faceplate and locks it in place. No tools or modifications needed. Ensure the plug sits flush and the seal is tight; check annually or before removing in spring to confirm integrity.
Why Choose IGSD-H?
This plug offers a quick, cost-effective way to winterize your pool without draining water, reducing stress on skimmer walls and plumbing. Its secure, waterproof seal helps prevent freeze damage and simplifies pool closing and reopening maintenance.
Maintenance & Care
- Inspect plug and seal before winterizing — ensure the foam insert is intact and faceplate isn’t cracked or warped.
- Remove and store indoors during pool opening; rinse plug if necessary before reuse.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and pool chemicals to preserve foam elasticity and sealing effectiveness.
- On seasonal reuse, briefly test fit and seal before re-installing for the next winter.
