ABSTRACT:
An ice protector for absorbing the expansion of ice within a pool skimmer during freezing conditions. The inventive device includes a hollow compressible container having a stopper engagable to the fluid conduit within the skimmer. The stopper is operable to plug the conduit and support the container in a vertical orientation projecting above the waterline such that freezing of the water will compress the container to preclude damage to the skimmer. The device may further include a plurality of extension caps attachable to the container to accommodate various skimmer sizes and to ensure projection of the container above a high waterline.
