Intex Easy Set Hose Splitter

thingiverse

I created a modified version of the hose splitter. This fits inside the intex 32mm hose. It allows tapping off using standard 16mm irrigation hose, which is a push-fit onto a taper. I created a solar heater using 16mm irrigation hose and use the existing Intex pump to drive water through the heater. You will need to print two off - one as feed and one as return. They need to go on the outlet side of the pump (where it feeds back into the pool). Use the flow reducer version for point where the flow is split. Use the full-flow version for the point where the flow returns. You will need to print some hose clamps or use banjo clips to secure it. This version includes a flow reducer on the 32mm pipe to allow water to flow through the smaller outlet. ***UPDATE*** After a bit of testing, I found that reducing the hole in the larger pipe to about 5mm gives a good rate of flow through the irrigation hose. I'm achieving an increase of about 3 degrees Celsius in the UK at the end of August using a 20m length of black irrigation hose.
