Are gizmos single use?

[Neemer]

I planned to reuse the gizmo I used last winter, but I just read an ad that said you should replace them each winter. Is this true or marketing?

I’ve had two in 12 years.

As long as there’s no holes in it they’re good. If there’s a hole in it water can get inside and freeze thus increasing the risk of skimmer damage.

That’s what I figured. Thanks.
