Summary

Bought the Bestway Skimmer for my 12 foot Steel Pro Max above ground pool last year.
I've never been happy with how the skimmer mounted, on the tubes it just came loose and on the plastic joiners it needed to be tied to the upright to keep it from floating up.

This adapter clips onto the two screws and then fits over the rib on the plastic joiners. The skimmer is now rock solid.

Update 05/11/2023 - I have updated the STL to include a slot for the rib in the pool bracket to go into, this allows the screws to be almost completely retracted making removal at the end of the season easier.

The PLA part lasted all year outside, but I have printed the new one in PETG ready for next year. There is a 5mm bridge in the new design which should print without support.
