Pool screen with quick connect parts

thingiverse

UPDATE: I've updated all the parts so they are sturdier and will last longer. Thicker connections and layers. Previous parts were to thin and would snap after so much use (eve at little use sometimes). I would suggest painting them or coating with UV protection spray. Enjoy and have a blast this summer I grew tired of not having a way to effectively vacuum my pool without having to forcibly remove the suction screen and adding extra parts just to remove them when done and forcibly reconnecting screen. So i designed this to fit the current 1" suction tubes that connect to the pool. Once the suction tube quick connect is inserted and secured all that is needed is to slide the screen onto it from top. Then when vacuuming is needed just simply slide off screen and slide on vacuum adapter and voila, connect your vacuum hose and start vacuuming. No need to remove any extra parts with no hassle. I also added an extra feature which closes off the second suction (if applicable in your pool) so you can draw full suction from the pump. I am currently thinking of more possible ways to connect other items to this. Ideas are welcome. I hope this will be of use to some of you as it is to me.
