Intex Pool Pump Inlet Plug
Description
This is a small plug I designed to use for the dual-intakes commonly found on newer Intex-style pools. I printed two of these to use when disconnecting the pump/filter for maintenance, etc. I also plan to use one to block one of the inlets while the other is connected to a pool vacuum to increase the suction as vacuums do not work well with the double inlet design (last year I would just cover one with a disposable plastic cup). My previous pool had only one inlet and one return, but it seems that (probably for some safety reason) many pools now have two smaller inlet hoses that "Y" together into the pump. This plug is designed for the smaller inlets. Update 24-May-19: Added photos. The print quality was not great as I printed at a fast speed, and I could have done some post-printing cleanup around the "handle" part of the plug, but it is a functional item that works as intended, so making it look nicer was personally not a priority in this case.
