Why does a gizmo compress water?
Basically the Gizmo compresses as the water freezes in order to prevent the expansion of the water as it solidifies from cracking the skimmer. Based on my experience it works. So weigh the cost of one versus replacing the skimmer.
Can a gizmo skimmer freeze?
Even IF the water level comes up enough to spill into the skimmer, any water that spills through will immediately drain out of the hole in the bottom. I actually see a greater risk of damage with a Gizmo in place - allowing the water to stay in the skimmer box to freeze.
