About this deal
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. Also, it would have been nice to see the heavy-duty Velcro straps included in the box, instead of sold separately. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, it hasn’t been studied and we can only go off anecdotal evidence. The purpose of the hook is so you don’t have to worry about the hose and gravel vacuum falling out of your tank when you refill.
Otherwise the basic python water change system comes in 25 ft, 50 ft, 75 ft, or 100 ft with the ability to extend either in either 10 or 20 ft increments.I got a big, stout, solid brass, lever handled shut off valve, with two female ends on it, for the tank end of my device.
However, changing the water in your tank can be extremely messy and laborious, but not when you have a good water changer but what is the best option? It comes with a 25 foot long tube for draining and filling, it gets rid of the need for buckets, and it stops spills too. Just like me, Lance hated hauling heavy buckets of water back and forth during weekly tank water changes.Those of you with deeper tanks might find the tube is unable to reach the bottom of your tank without getting your hands wet.
