Product Information

Maybe it’s because this is the only water changer on the market that’s made right here on American soil. Sure, the Aqueon water changer might offer a generously sized siphon tube, but those of you with deeper tanks won’t be able to gravel vac your aquarium without getting your hands wet. Imagine a gravel vacuum that connects to your faucet. That’s essentially what the Python water changer is. My DIY version will not have any compression fittings. They will be threaded fittings only, with teflon pipe tape on the threads.

It immediately became apparent why the other water changers use brass fittings – they are much more durable. 2. The twisting With Python water changers stretching up to 100 feet in length, coiling the hose up once you are finished with it can be a messy job.

Assessing the DIY Python Water Changer:

We actually preferred Aqueon’s handle to Python’s. Aqueon’s tube is also made of a more rigid plastic. It’s just that another water changer outclassed it in every single way, the winner of our best aquarium water changer test… However, when graded against other areas of performance, such as how easy they were to start, quality of materials and price, it soon became clear who the winners were.

Can Python Water Changer be used with saltwater aquariums? No, Python Water Changer is designed for use with freshwater aquariums only. If you have a saltwater aquarium, you should look for a water changing device specifically designed for saltwater tanks. Tips for Optimizing Your Use of Python Water ChangerWhat really separated them was the build quality – the hosing in particular. When using a gravel vacuum, you control the flow of water draining from your aquarium by kinking and unkinking the hose. So, I turn the switch to the off position and walk over to my kitchen sink. By adjusting the pump, water will no longer flow through it, but up through the hoseand into my tank.
