Closing Question - Aqua Cover(skimmer)

[doggie]

I get page no display when I try that Gizzmo link. Anyway, maybe when they say 1 year they mean if it's actually done it's intended job and collapsed?

Try http://gizzmo.net
We use teflon tape every year on the threads - Doggie's comment on single-use-when-it's-done its-job is in line with my thinking. I do check it every year to see if its seams are sound - no air leaking when I squeeze it and hold it under water.
BTW, ours is an 18/36 inground pool too.
