Garden Hose Pool Jet Syphon adapter

Garden Hose Pool Jet Syphon adapter This accelerates your syphon flow from the pool... Depending on the pressure it likely drain slightly higher elevation than your draw. Oct 21, 2021 updated male version with a cup instead of flat surface facing flow. Attach to the end of your garden hose and latch in front of one of the pool water jets. It prints for a 22mm open jet. It does not divert all the water from the jet as that may be difficult to do with a clamp in attachment. The pump is likely putting out more pressure and GPM than the clamp could hold back. It uses the pressure of the water exiting the jet to drive the syphon flow faster. Any water not being pushed through the hole will bleed out the sides so as not to restrict the pump flow. Just make sure you set a timer since the syphon won't stop on its own until the water gets down to the jet which is normally lower than you might normally set your syphon. Printing It can be printed theaded side down with no supports, but it will lack layer strength on the tongs holding the hose over the jet. I printed my final PETG version on its side with supports off the bed. .2 layer (.15 would created a better thread) .4 nozzle is fine. Male and Female version depending on which end of the hose you want to use. When I went to drain the pool with my first print I had already run the hose and realized I had the wrong end at the pool... so I added the adapters. Thanks rue_mohr for saving me all the time making a threaded cap for the hose end. You did all the work getting the thread to fit properly. Something that I find more complex than need be sometimes. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:693149 So did it work? Oh yeah. My drop is probably just over a foot over 75 feet so the gravity syphon is very slow. It took less than 20% of the time it normally would attached to the jet. If your jets are not 22mm let me know. Also, I think hose threads are different outside the U.S.... so if you have a different connection let me know and I will upload the code for you to make whatever changes you need...
