My dad bought a Funsicle pool. Funsicle is made by Polygroup. Polygroup's claim to fame is being one of the largest artificial Christmas tree manufacturers on the planet. This should tell you everything you need to know about the included pump.

The bundled filter does technically move water. Whether what it's doing qualifies as "filtration" is a philosophical debate I'll leave to people with more patience than me.

He already had a decent Bayswater pump. The Funsicle wall fittings, naturally, speak a proprietary dialect of "round tube." So I designed two adapters: one for the inlet port, one for the outlet port.
 

Why PP?
Polypropylene is chemically inert to chlorinated water and pool chemicals, doesn't embrittle under UV the way PLA does, and won't dissolve into your dad's pool over a summer. It's the correct material. Full stop.

PP printing is a blood sport. Bed adhesion is genuinely hard, warping is real, and your first few attempts may go directly into the bin. I suggest PP. I will not be held responsible for your calluses. If you absolutely can't make PP work, ASA or PETG with a rubber gasket seal is an acceptable compromise. PLA in a chlorinated environment is not.
