PYTHON No Spill Water Changer, 7.5 m ( Brass Adaptor Not included )

Product Information

The secret and unique feature of a Python water changer is that both water removal and fill are handled by a connection to any regular faucet. I’ve been keeping fish for over 30 years and currently have 4 different aquariums – it’s an addiction. It didn’t really cost that much – not twice as much as the plastic versions, so I think it well worth it.

Make sure to use the larger 5/8″ hose (instead of a 1/2″) as the hose will probably have a larger effect on flow. For the larger aquarium, then yes, I’d recommend one as it’s a real back and time saver as well as helps to stop accidents with buckets full of water! It comes with either a 25 or 50-foot long hose, so you can reach a faucet no matter where your aquarium is.

Cleaning your aquarium on a regular basis is very important as without it invisible toxins can build up creating a hazardous environment for its inhabitants. Below you will find my opinion of the Python Water Changer and whether it’s the best and if it can connect to all faucets? For a larger volume, I think it would be worth making the PVC accessories out of 3/4″ (1″ is overkill).

I ask because I will be putting one together to do weekly 80-90% water changes on a 60 gallon pond, and while I ultimately wouldn’t mind retaining my fishies for a few hours while monitoring the fill, a higher fill rate would obviously be better. I have a python water changer system which looks like a great gadget - but I'm having problems fixing it to my kitchen tap. In addition to the siphon fitting, a python kit comes with an adaptor to connect the siphon fitting to your faucet, a hose that runs to your tank, a valve to shut off water at your aquarium (so you don’t have to run back to the faucet to stop flow), and a gravel vacuum attachment. I do need to remember to put prime in the tank, not to switch the external filter on again straight away (make sure water dechlorinated), and keep an eye on temp of water coming in (a sensor in the tank by where the new water comes in heels 3 with this).

I may have to add a some extra length to the bottom to make the siphon function but, frankly, as it is, I can’t always get the Aqueon to siphon, given the lousy water pressure here, so, not really a deal breaker if it won’t siphon very well. Its packaging is on point and, more importantly, it is the cheapest water changer on the market by a long shot. I have the band clamps snugged down as tightly as possible and it’ll be interesting to see if I get any leakage at the ends or not.

This attachment, which clips on the end of the gravel tube, prevented curious fish and shrimp from getting sucked up.Had to move all the furniture, remove the rug to dry it out, panic mop the floor before the water reached the tank and went under the stand.

The only adaptors included are for standard 3/4 inch (19mm) UK outdoor taps and the rubber universal adaptor.The downfall of this is that the siphon only works if your discharge point is lower than your aquarium.
