SimpooltecDB-Series Above Ground Doughboy Pool Skimmer Winterizing Plug

Worked great.

Easier to install than some of the other options for plugging the skimmer. Prompt delivery, and arrived in perfect shape. No complaints here!!

It is specific to the doughboy, yet not quite designed for a perfect fit. Mine went swimming in the pool as soon as temps got below freezing

I bought this for my Skim Line skimmer, I have a Doughboy pool. It an old pool and I had some issues with rust around the skimmer on the pool wall. For this reason I did not want to change the face plate. This product was exactly what I needed. It just popped in the skimmer opening and even had a plug for the vacuum port. Easy to install, nice fit with no leaks. Granted, I've only had it in for a few days but if I could get a whole season out of it, I would be happy. It would be worth it to buy a new one every year if need be. Makes life easier, I recommended!

For it to be so easy to install, I couldn't have installed it wrong. Had small drip at first, no big deal. Put 5 gallon bucket under skimmer drip and would empty bucket every couple days. Then got first freeze and drip turned into whole skimmer freezing. Now after first freeze thaw, it s a 5 gallon bucket every hour. Not worth it. Will not buy product again nor recommend. In virginia.

Easily installed it took longer to get it out of the package then it took to install. Comes with the vacuum port plugnot sure why they don't make the Return port plug out of the same material. Return plug is no more that an 1-1/2 “ freeze plug which needs to be order separately or go to your local auto parts store.No more spring filling of the pool, awesome!

This works well and makes closing the pool much easier,,The product itself is great, I think it is very overpriced for a piece of styrofoam and that annoys me but I did order an extra as a spare! lol

Installed easily, still sealing pool water.
