I love my Pythonâ¦ Iâve owned one for the last 14 years. I moved to Europe and didnât ship my old one with me, which is why Iâve ordered this new one. My only gripe is that the faucet attachment pieces are mostly plastic, and they sometimes pop off my faucet under pressure. Otherwise, no complaints. Itâs easy to get replacement parts when needed.

So easy to use, the pregnant woman does water changes!
After reading reviews on this Python water changer and the Aqueon one, I was rather torn between the two. Eventually, I went with the Python and haven’t regretted my decision at all. I’m currently 8 months pregnant and have no issues doing water changes for our 55 gallon tank which would have been pretty much impossible for me if I’d had to haul buckets back and forth. If you want the short and sweet version, just buy this now. It’s the best investment I have made other than the fish themselves. A few notes below…1) I have a Delta kitchen faucet and there was no way to connect it to this, not even with adapters from home improvement stores, just due to how the aerator is supposed to seal on the faucet. Well, it could connect, but it leaked like crazy and was far less effective. Thankfully, I was able to use the brass adapter that came with the product on my bathroom faucet and that’s the one I use for the water changes now.2) I’ve noticed that the suction isn’t the greatest, regardless of whether I leave the water running in the bathroom while vacuuming or not (you can turn the water off once the suction has been established). It’s manageable but I find myself reaching for my normal siphon and a bucket to “pre-clean” if there are particularly dirty areas. This is probably due to there not being a great difference in height between the tank and bathroom sink. Again, works well enough most of the time, just not when I’m feeling really OCD about seeing debris sitting on top of my sand.3) The hose itself is very pliable which is awesome and makes the process very easy. 50 feet is a bit of a pain to roll up again, though. I am tempted to get a hose reel but that may or may not work well since I have to go pretty slowly and raise the coil above the sink level to get it to drain excess water in the hose when I’m finished. Minor annoyance given how much time and effort this thing saves me otherwise.4) Construction is solid. Yes, some pieces are plastic but they’re pretty heavy duty. As long as you don’t try to he-man the connection when you screw it on, you can get a tight fit with no leaks and no plastic cracking or breaking. Even if you do, there are replacement parts which is great and saves me from having to buy an entirely new one in the future.5) I saw a few complaints about the refill process, but again, no issues for me. I temperature match the water, reverse the flow so it starts to fill the tank and let it run. You can continue temperature testing if your water supply can’t hold a steady temperature, but that’s not the fault of the device. As it fills, I occasionally add 1/4 tsp of Seachem Prime until I reach the total dose for my tank. If you have a saltwater tank, well… your mileage will probably vary.Overall, I’d say I can be done with a 50% water change in 15 or 20 minutes. Totally worth it and I’m sure my fish are happier with more regular and quicker water changes!

Wonderful, Wonderful Time Saver
I purchased this kit to go along with a 40 gallon Breeder tank for two baby Mississippi Map Turtles. All of the research I did told me that turtles are extremely messy and need a diligent cleaning plan, to say the least. I didn’t use this product for the first product change, and it took me over an hour, and the tank wasn’t cleaned to my satisfaction. The Python 25ft No Spill Clean & Fill Kit made the difference for me.For starters, the whole kit is very easy to assemble. You won’t even need the instructions, but they are very detailed and cover the filling and draining stages in depth. The manufacturer also includes a parts replacement sheet, in case of a broken or missing piece. The product is as simple as screwing an adapter into the sink, attaching the hose, putting the end of the hose in the tank, and turning the water on. The kit drains surprisingly quick, and does a good job off getting under the rocks. It’s almost like a vacuum tube that lifts up the rocks and gets all the debris under it. If you have larger rocks, this product won’t really be able to pull them up, but its just a matter of moving the rocks around with the tube while you drain all the water.It took me about 20 minutes to completely drain, clean, and fill the tank up the first time I used this kit. This includes about a 5 minute period I spent looking for a piece of the kit that I misplaced. The water was crystal clear after the cleaning, and looked much better than the hand cleaning I did. I have cleaned the tank two more times since the initial test, and each time has taken me 12 or 15 minutes to get through the whole process. Most of the places I read said the turtle tank really needs to have a partial cleaning every week to two weeks, so the kit is a godsend. I work full time and go to school full time, so spending an hour once a week cleaning the tank was not something I was looking forward too.I would highly recommend anyone looking for a product to clean any size aquarium to look into the Python 25ft No Spill Clean & Fill Kit. Its value has been priceless to me considering all the time its saved me, and again for how good of a job it does. The price is reasonable anyway so if you’re on the fence with this product, just go for it. You’ll be happy you did.

So easy. 50ft of hose. You can also buy a hook separately for this. I have it hooked to my bathroom sink. Just had to take the aerator off.All you gotta do is put the vacuum in the tank and go turn the tap on until the water goes all the way to the tap and then you can turn of the tap. The suction is good enough to keep sifting the water. No need to waste water!! Most people dont know this. Once your done emptying, either put the hook on or if you dont have one, switch the green part on the tap part to fill and turn the tap back on. Add your conditioner directly to your tank before your start filling.Great quality hose, attachment are useful.All fish keepers with tanks bigger than 20 gallon tanks should have this!

Was easy to install on to my faucet and worked immediately. I removed approximately 1/2 the water from my 35 gal tank because it had heavy nitrites and ammonia. It was the first time I removed water and it make this task so easy. I decided not to ADD water to the tank with this system because I worried that putting the chlorine remover into the tank would not mix well with the fresh water and worried it would harm my fish. I would love to know if others have added water and how it worked for them. I would definitely encourage others to use this systen as it was so easy and did a great job.
