PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “I wanted to create an improved replacement for the original plastic cap that gets removed when draining water out of a swimming pool filter during winterization,” said an inventor, from Connersville, Ind., “so I invented the CRITTER CAP. My design protects the threads against damage caused by chewing mice, rats, chipmunks, or squirrels.”
The patent-pending invention provides an effective way to protect a swimming pool filter against chewing animals in the winter. In doing so, it eliminates costly damage by animals. As a result, it provides added protection and peace of mind. The invention features a simple and durable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for swimming pool owners. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.
The original design was submitted to the Indianapolis sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
