Re: where do you get your water from?
It's a waterchanger that connects to the tap, it draws water out into a sink and with a flip of a valve it fills your tank right back up
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: where do you get your water from?
I have a very long one that I have never been able to hook to my sink, the female doesn't match the male on my sink. But it will hook to the hose outside, and if needed one of my bathtubs. I think it is either 80 ft or it cost me 80$, I can't remember!defool89 wrote:So how long is your python? Lol Idk if i had one if it would reach my sink
Just a letting you know, that it might not hook to your sink, maybe only your hose outside. So you may only be able vaccum and drain with you python. But if it hooks to your hose outside you might be able to fill your tank.
Does that make sense?

Re: where do you get your water from?
It does. But i saw a video it showed an adapter. Hnm I'm sure you can get one art home depot. Are you taking off your filter off your spout?purplecandle wrote:I have a very long one that I have never been able to hook to my sink, the female doesn't match the male on my sink.

Re: where do you get your water from?
You don't need to use Aquasafe or Prime if you use reverse osmosis water but you will need to remineraliseG S P Freak wrote:Pufferpunk wrote:If you're buying RODI water from your LFS for FW fish, it needs to be re-mineralized. Your city/tap water is much better to use. Condition with Prime.I've been using Tetra aquasafe when I've used tap water, I'm gonna convert to prime soon lol, I can buy 100ml off ebay for 6.99 shipped. Anyways, my main question I've been trying to poke around at is... should I discontinue use of RODI water and use tap+ prime for my BW tank?Use Prime & your water won't smell like chlorine.

Re: where do you get your water from?
The "Python No Spill Drain and Fill" is a tap-attached hose for both draining and filling tanks. Carrying buckets is primitive and messy.
I am one of the minority who always per-condition their replacement water. However I always pump the per-conditioned water into the tank, I still do not carry buckets.

Re: where do you get your water from?
If your python isn't long enough... go to Home Depot or something and get 150 feet of plastic tubing for $10 and change the tube on your python. Easy and cheap. I bought the "ends" of mine second hand and bought the tube seperate. Works awesome.

Re: where do you get your water from?
IME, cheap plastic tubing does not work well, especially under vacuuming. Python's tubing is actually pretty high quality and is quite lasting. I still us one well over 25 years old which still has its original tubing. It is a bit discolored (a like brownish tint) but still works just fine. Having enough hose is obviously required, but having too much is inefficient and awkward.

i bought the exact same tubing that the "kit" comes with. It's all "cheap" tubing, but is overpriced in the kit. Stores have all sorts of grades of plastic tubing. Also, you would measure how much you require, depending on your situation. Mine is long enough for all my tanks to reach the drain in my basement floor... It also has a bit of discolouration, but nothing major. It's at least 5 years old already (tubing).
