I wanted to use the vacuum here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:941551 But I didn't want to glue the quick connect piece to the Intex cover that usually connects to the outlet that goes to towards the filter pump. Instead, I decided to make this piece, which replaces the Intex piece.
After I designed it, I found: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:179352 which is essentially the same thing I have uploaded here. I almost just downloaded it instead of printing mine.
