Quick Tips
- Clean the skimmer face and winter plate thoroughly before applying the new gasket.

- Store in a cool, dry place during the summer to prevent the foam from drying out.

Care & Storage

- Let dry fully before storing.
- Store out of direct sun for longer life.
- Replace worn parts as needed.
PRO TIP
Apply a thin layer of pool-safe lubricant (Teflon or Silicone based) to the face of the gasket. This helps create a better suction seal and prevents the foam from sticking/tearing when you remove the plate in the spring.
Always follow label directions and safety guidance. Keep pool chemicals and accessories stored safely and out of reach of children.
