What is the winterizing kit and what does it do? How is it installed? Also, will Aquador Wide Mouth skimmer for winterizing fit this size skimmer?

This kit comes with the skimmer plate which blocks off the skimmer as well as screws, gasket and a threaded cap to plug off your return eyeball fitting. The winterizing kit will ensure that you do not get any water back in your skimmer or return lines, if you get water in the skimmer or return lines once the water freezes it may crack your skimmer or plumbing connected to the return eyeball fitting. The skimmer plate attaches to the front of the skimmer with screws. This part is shown as key # 14 through the following link http://www.optimusparts.com/onlinecatalog2006/sec_i/i-22.pdf If you have an Olympic, Jandy or Vogue skimmer we suggest this part over the Aquador.

Will this work for a Hayward SP1091WM skimmer?

Hi Joe - this part will not work for you. You would need this Winterizing Skimmer Door Cover Kit Widemouth 1010 for your Hayward SP-1091WM Wide Mouth Skimmer.
