Intex pool Skimmer Stabilizer by mmverk
by Thingiverse
Last crawled date: 3 years ago
I have created this stabilizer to improve my skimmer performance and extend its lifetime. I have an Intex Ultra pool with metal tubing at the top. The skimmer is attached to the tube using a molded plastic hook and fastened with screws. I am using my 3rd plastic hook already because over time they just break. You have to screw the hook very tight to the tubes for the skmmer to stay submerged in the water and over time this puts too much stress on the hook.
I solved the tension on the hook by putting a small stone of about 0.5-1kg in the basket. The stone keeps the skimmer submerged but also pushes it down too much so it floated at an angle in the water instead of flat. So that resolved the tension but reduced the functionality of the skimmer itself which of course performs best when the top is flat in the water.
I solved this by creating a stablizer. The stabilizer slides in the backend of the skimmer on one side (the ' clamp' part) and rests with its other side using a disc against the wall off the pool. I have created it adjustable because you will have to vary the distance between the disc and the clamp when the water level varies over time. The distance can be easily adjusted by turning the screw.
The original design had glued parts but that did not work very well in the (choride) water. The glued parts quickly seperated and I moved on to this design. The whole design is put together by either screwing or pressing the parts together. The screw can be screwed into the disc and into the tube. The tube should be pushed into the clamp and should fit perfectly but of course this is depending on our printer. Using some sandpaper should do the trick. Or you can adjust it using the original F3D file.
Printed in black PLA and still doing well in the salinated and chlorinated water.
Enjoy!
