Growing up in the pool business, Jerry Hodak observed pool owners draining thousands of gallons of water from their pools every winter, only to pay to refill their pools again in the spring. Wanting to create a solution, in 1989 Jerry Hodak invented the first 2 part skimmer closer system with a faceplate and snap-on lid for winterizing skimmers.
Many years later, he created a better 2 part method of winterizing the skimmer utilizing a smaller, better-fitting lid and was awarded another patent in 2006 providing many improvements over his original patent, including accessibility to hardware for tightening and ease of installation and a lid that uses 40 percent less plastic, greatly reducing landfill waste.
In 2011 he was awarded his third patent to simplify the last two designs that didn't require changing the faceplate and he called it the Skimmer Plug™. This new plug is a first of its kind and is superior to all of the other skimmer closure or winterizing devices on the market, being more affordable, as well as much easier to use. The Skimmer Plug™ fits all skimmers without the need to replace the original skimmer faceplate. With no installation or tools required, the Skimmer Plug™ securely fits into the skimmer opening using our exclusive Rovaseal™ to plug the skimmer opening.
Today the Skimmer Plug™ is the most used method for winterizing pool skimmers and can be found in pool stores all across the United States and Canada saving our planet billions of gallons of water.
