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.

This will keep you in the aquarium hobby.
This thing is a godsend. I was seriously considering getting out of the aquarium hobby due to the constant filling and carrying of 5 gallon buckets to change water. This product was suggested to me and I took the plunge. This thing works! This beats the heck out of buckets. I bought one that was returned and quickly found out why it was returned. The adapter that comes with the product did not fit on my pull down faucet. I went to a local hardware store and found the correct adapter for about $7 US. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I will attach photos for reference.

    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.

  • Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2013
    I have always dreaded doing water changes in my 135 gallon aquarium so water changes were never done as often as they should have been done. They suggest changing one-fifth to one-quarter of the tank's water at least twice a month.
    For the past 45 years I have been carrying buckets of water to and from my 135 gallon aquarium to do occasional water changes. When I was younger, it wasn't that hard for me lugging the heavy buckets, it was just time consuming and I found it very boring filling up all those buckets with both old and new water.

    Now that I am almost 70 years old and have developed a back problem, it has gotten to be quite a chore for me to do water changes. We siphon and dump 20-30 buckets of water into the bathroom stool which is about 15 feet away but then I have to lug 20-30 buckets of clean water with the chlorine and chloramine removed from the laundry room which is about 50 feet away when refilling the aquarium.

    This week, we decided we had to do a water change and clean the aquarium. It was a job that I dreaded but had to be done.
    I just happened to run across a video on the Internet showing a young man doing a 40% water change of a 120 gallon tank in about 30 minutes. The video didn't show him doing much except walk away and return a few times, he was sitting down most of the time while his 120 gallon tank emptied and then refilled itself. It was a very poorly made video which didn't explain or show exactly what he was doing. In fact,the video was sped up and was only 3 minutes in length, but I got the idea. He didn't mention what brand he used for this task, he only referred to his being similar to a brand made in England. So I scoured the Internet for this brand but I was not able to find one for sale anywhere.

    I immediately began searching Amazon for such an item and I found this Python item, I read about how it functioned and it was just what I was looking for. I immediately ordered one specifying next day delivery. Since I am an Amazon Prime member, it was only an extra $4 for next day delivery.

    The Python system arrived the next day and I immediately hooked it up as per the instructions. It's so simple a child could probably do it.
    I have a very small bathroom with a small lavatory about 15 feet away. I never could use it to fill the buckets but with the Python system, I found that it was the perfect place to use the system. I connected their pump device to the bathroom faucet, hooked up the tubing to it and placed the other end of the tubing into my tank. I then went into the bathroom,and turned on the cold water. When I turned on the faucet, to my amazement my aquarium water began immediately siphoning into the bathroom sink. Using the large siphon tube, I was able to clean the gravel as the water siphoned out. After about 15-20 minutes, about 30% of my 135 gallon tank had drained and I was then ready to refill it.

    There is a shut off valve located in the tubing a few feet away from the tank end that allows you to stop the draining.
    I went into the bathroom, adjusted the water temperature to match the aquarium temperature, then as stated in the instructions, I pushed the bottom part of the pump up and turned it to the right to lock it in the fill position. Upon switching the valve to open, the water immediately began filling my aquarium. This device did in about 30-40 minutes what would have taken me most of a day to do using buckets. I now understand why the lad in the video was sitting most of the time, I was also sitting most of the time.
    My wife, who was skeptic at first, now thinks it is one fantastic device.

    My only main concern was adding tap water that did not have the chlorine and chloramine removed.
    As the tank was refilling, every few minutes I would squirt some Prime Water Conditioner in front of the filler tube. I am hoping it was sufficient in removing the chlorine and chloramine from the tap water and none of my fish die. It's now been 8 hours since the water change and they seem to be still in fine condition. Only time will tell I guess.

    I just wish I had known about this device long ago. My 45 year old son has an identical tank at his house, he says he will continue carrying buckets of water to and from his tank as he is also concerned about the chlorine and chloramine. My wife and I are betting that he will change his mind and get one of these Python systems for his tank if my method of chlorine and chloramine removal work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Love.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 13, 2015
    This is such a handy contraption. I must say it does indeed seem a bit overpriced, however, finding the appropriate adapter, faucet switch, length of hose, a matching vac hose, and the stop valve to create your own would be such a hassle, and possibly quite expensive as well. There's a super convenient stop switch at the hoover end, as well as one on the sink end, and it's a lifesaver that the hoover ended one is right on hand to either pause hoovering or pause refilling. It's nice that this has been pre-configured, all set and ready to go. I'm pretty sure what you're paying for is the design of this product, not the materials. It's competitors are all in a similar price range as well.

    I used it for the first time today. I quickly found the correct screw-on adapter for our kitchen faucet, hooked it up and played around with it to figure out what all the bits do, and I was promptly able to begin my water change.

    So long as your aquarium is higher up than your faucet, this thing has some SERIOUS suction power. It hoovered 14 litres in about 2 minutes. I'll have to remember to turn the tap down so it's slower next time! Refilling was just as simple. I spent most of the time just getting the water temp right coming out of the faucet before flipping the refill switch, and the rest was a breeze. The whole process is pretty quick, especially compared to the bucket method.

    We have a separate hot water tank for our mixer tap, and the fish are not bothered at all from any hot water tank contaminants, which was one of my concerns with this. Also remember to dechlorinate your tank for the replacement amount BEFORE pumping in the tap water, otherwise your fish my get some exposure to the chlorine coming in. I personally use seachem prime, which takes care of any heavy metals plus other bits too.

    Over all a great product, well designed and I'm quite happy with it.

    My brother encouraged me to pick up a Python prior to setting up my 40g cichlid tank, and am I ever glad I did. The 25ft length is just long enough to run from my utility sink to the tank, so luckily I didn't have to buy the hose extension. The supplied adapters also work with my faucet, so this is ready to go out of the box (bag?) for me. It's incredibly simple to use: put the vacuum end in the water, open the valve, attach to the sink and ensure its set to drain, not fill. Turn on the cold water just enough to start a siphon and you're set - head back to the tank and start vacuuming the gravel. Once you've pulled enough water, take the vacuum out of the tank and go get your fill temperature matched to the tank. Get the hose back in the tank and start filling. Like someone else commented, I usually add a full dose of Prime to my tank as soon as I start filling and the fish do fine. Once the tank is almost full I usually run back and switch the drain/fill valve to drain, and then run back to pull the vacuum. I've used the open/close valve by the vacuum in the past, but the seals don't seem to hold up against water pressure. This ends up with water flying all over the laundry room from the sink-hose connection.

    Pros:
    + Great construction for the most part. Hoses are thick, the siphon starts easily, the vacuum works well.
    + Comes with several faucet adapters to fit a range of regular and utility sinks.
    + Very easy and fast to use. The process described above takes about 30 mins for a 50% water change on a 40 gallon tank.
    + Once you get a system down, no spilled water at all (unless your Rottweiler knocks the hose out of the tank while its filling - very fun, believe me)

    Cons:
    - The seals on the faucet attachment don't stand up to water pressure as mentioned above. I wouldn't suggest closing the open/close valve unless you have a towel handy.

    Final word: This is a great accessory for doing water changes, I'd almost even say mandatory. I wouldn't ever set up a tank without one to be honest.

    Va bene per rendere i cambi d'acqua facili ma farei attenzione alla misura del vostro rubinetto. Essendo un prodotto americano non si incastra come si deve e quindi mi sono dovuta arrangiare.
