Intex Skimmer Adapter for Bestway Oval Pool Frames

This functional adapter allows you to securely mount a standard Intex surface skimmer hook onto the elliptical frame profile of a Bestway pool. Because these two brands use completely different frame pipe geometries, this spacer bridges the gap to prevent the skimmer from twisting, wobbling, or sliding around when the pool water moves.

Designed explicitly for flexible TPU filament , the adapter grips the metal pipe firmly without scratching the frame's anti-rust coating. TPU naturally compensates for slight manufacturing tolerances and handles continuous exposure to UV rays, chlorine, and outdoor moisture perfectly.

⚠️ The Problem: Why you need this adapter

Without this adapter, the original Intex clamp cannot properly grip the oval Bestway frame. As shown in the image below, the skimmer quickly tilts sideways, hangs crooked, or slips completely out of place under the slightest water current or wave movement. This stops it from cleaning the surface effectively and can scratch your pool frame's protective paint.

📏 Technical Dimensions

- Outer Diameter (Skimmer Clamp side): 63 mm - Inner Profile (Bestway Frame side): Elliptical / Oval ( 47 mm x 31 mm ) 🛠️ Recommended Print Settings

- Material: TPU (95A Shore hardness is highly recommended for optimal grip and structural strength) - Infill: 20% – 30% (Gyroid or Grid pattern for solid physical resistance) - Walls/Perimeters: Minimum 3 to 4 wall loops to ensure heavy-duty clamping strength - Layer Height: 0.20 mm or 0.24 mm - Supports: Generally not needed depending on print orientation (check your slicer preview) ✨ Features & Benefits

- Perfect Fit: Tailored precisely to adapt standard 63mm Intex mount circles onto 47x31mm oval Bestway frames. - Non-Slip Grip: The flexible TPU texture firmly locks onto the metal frame, preventing accidental shifting. - Frame Protection: Unlike rigid plastics (like PLA or PETG), TPU soft-cushions the frame and stops paint scraping and rust formation. - Chemical & Weather Resistant: TPU will not degrade from exposure to sun, heat, or standard pool chemicals.
