Closing IG with Auto Cover

[aswetich]

To be sure I get the correct thing (Gizzmo) for the skimmer can you post a link to someplace on line that sells the one mentioned ? With the "Super Gizzmo" I assume I put teflon tape on the threads, screw it in, undo the cap, Blow the line, then place the cap back on. Since I will be leaving the water level up should I also put a closed cell foam noodle in the skimmer ?


Thanks

PS:
As far as my pool guy being a idiot you are totally correct !!

Asw, if you use the 'noodle foam' you can do as Al says and just make a tube out of pvc to keep the top out of the water (be sure to cap or plug the pvc to prevent water from entering the line as the pool fills with rain, snow and ice), the foam will take care of 'ice expansion. The real trick is to keep the foam from from floating, it's got to be wedged in so that ice will crush the foam and not crack the skimmer body.
If you go the 'Ultra-Gizzmo' route, pry the cap off before tefloning the threads and screwing it in.
