- Versatile and Reliable: Well suited for freshwater and saltwater aquariums of every size, the versatile unit both drains and fills aquariums quickly and efficiently using negative pressure from the running faucet. Heavy duty, air tight tubing promises optimal performance and ensures that not a single drop of water is spilled during use.

Product Description
Smaller, more frequent water changes are essential to maintaining the health and vitality of your beautiful, exotic fish. Without routine water changes, invisible toxins such as ammonia can quickly build up in your aquarium and create a hazardous environment for its inhabitants. The Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System is a complete ready-to-use unit which adapts easily to most faucets and makes frustrating, time consuming water changes a breeze! Instead of siphoning water through a tube with your mouth and lugging around heavy buckets and spilling water on the floor, simply attach the Python attachment to your closest faucet and begin cleaning! The water flows directly from tap to tank when filling up your aquarium, and when you are ready to empty, simply turn the nozzle and the water will flow directly from your tank and into the sink without hassle or mess. This convenient system quickly drains and fills aquariums, yet is gentle and mobile enough to not disturb sensitive fish or delicately placed decor while vacuuming gravel or completing other routine maintenance. Forget the struggles and frustrations! No buckets, no siphons, no mess, no tank tear downs...EVER again! The versatile Python unit is suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater aquariums of any shape or size! The Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System includes: hose, 10" gravel tube, switch, hose connectors, faucet pump, and brass faucet adapter. Fully compatible extended length gravel tubes (20", 24", 30", 36", 48, and 72") are available for applications requiring additional reach. Extended length gravel tubes are sold separately.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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!
Second of all,
This has made water changes significantly easier! It does waste a little water, as it powers the suction by using the running sink water up, and the more the faucet is turned, the more suction power. But the water wasted isn't much compared to the physical labor spent! I used to fill 5 gallon buckets of turtle water and dump them in the shower because I couldn't make it outside, and then I would take a hose and stick it through my bedroom window into the house to fill it up (risking animals getting outside and bugs coming in)
Now I can drain and fill my turtle tank without needing a second person to help me watch the animals and make sure none are getting out. The python also fills the tank much quicker than the hose did surprisingly. It did take me some time to figure out how to use it, as I'm bad at reading instructions (so I kinda just figured it out on my own) but with the help of someone spotting the tank to holler at me if it was working or not, I figured it out in less than 5 minutes.
I have bad hips and my friend has bad arms, so carrying 5 gallons of water halfway across the house was way too much stress on our joints. The python has made this so much easier, and I wish I would've made this purchase sooner.
$80 seems like a lot at first, but it definitely is worth it in the long run. It saves a ton of stress and time. So far it also is holding up quite well. I will update this review if the hose ever breaks or anything like that. I know I have a cat who loves biting into rubber, so I hope there are replacement parts out there.
And now I do the weekly/bi-weekly water changes as I'm supposed to do to keep my turtles happy and healthy! With the bucket method it was too much stress on the body to do bi-weekly water changes..
