Product Overview
The Simpool Wide Mouth Skimmer Plug AGWM-H2 is designed to help winterize compatible above-ground pool skimmers without draining the pool or removing the existing faceplate.

The thermo-elastic RovaSeal™ foam helps expand and grip the skimmer opening to create a tight air- and water-resistant seal. This helps prevent water from entering the skimmer during winter storage.
Rigid Outer Protective Plate
The durable outer plate helps protect the skimmer opening against winter pressure, ice, and debris. This added protection helps support the skimmer during freezing conditions.

Benefits
The Simpool AGWM-H2 skimmer plug helps simplify pool winterization by sealing the skimmer opening without lowering the water level or replacing the skimmer faceplate. This can save time during pool closing and help reduce the risk of costly freeze-related skimmer or plumbing damage.
