Simpooltech Aquador Skimmer Plug

No, the Aquador is designed for tool-free installation. You simply press the plug into your skimmer opening, and the thermo-insulated layer creates a secure, airtight seal.

The Aquador Standard is compatible with most common above-ground skimmers, including the Hayward SP1090, 1091LX, 1092, and the Aquador 1090. If you have a standard rectangular skimmer faceplate, it is likely compatible, but it is always best to verify your skimmer model number before purchasing.

By creating an airtight seal, the plug keeps the skimmer housing completely dry throughout the off-season. This prevents water from entering the skimmer and freezing, which is the leading cause of cracked skimmer bodies during winter.

Yes, it is constructed from rigid ABS plastic that is specifically engineered to resist UV radiation, harsh pool chemicals, and extreme temperature fluctuations. The Rovaseal thermo-insulated layer also helps maintain a secure grip on the faceplate despite changing weather conditions.
