Intex above-ground framed pool

Skimmer Hack!

• I've updated the original design to allow you to extend the arm using a standard PVC pipe.
• Uses two M4 screws to hold the pipe in place (or you can glue it)
• For the ladder holder, I cut (2) 4" lengths of PVC pipe and drilled holes matching the M4 Screw locations so that the screw acts more of a lock than a tension mount. This works better because the ladder holder puts a lot more stress on the clamps than the skimmer.
• Works with the IEBIYO Pool Leaf Net that acts as the skimmer.
• If you want you can put chlorine tablets to the net to act like a Brominator.
• Water Jet tip causes the water in the pool to circulate into the net, skimming the pool (better than the regular pool skimmer Intex offers)
• Here is the Fusion 360 file if you need to tweak this.
• Here is the source for the Velcro straps
• Water jet fits firmly into the Intex 1.25 IN. small pool strainer outlet. Note Though not pictured below, this design is a 'remix' of the ladder stand off so if you print two sets they can be use in that manner.
