      Skimmer drain cap

      Any clever hacks out there for plugging skimmer drains? I lost my plug

      I’ve seen new skimmers come with a nub of tubing connected and a clamp on the tubing to keep it from draining.

      Thanks Derek.
      Figured out that the red electricity connectors would close it up- I like the clip idea

      Wat? Don’t those clips have metal in them?

      2 part epoxy? Not entirely permanent but should be water (skimmate) tight.
