I love the emphasis on bucket spilling and shaking when filling up the tank. It really captures the moment. :)

Actually you don't have to run water for back pressure at all...simply turn on the water like normal with the valve closed and make sure the entire hose and tube are full of water. Invert tube in tank, get rid of any air bubbles in tube then go to the sink and open the valve. The back pressure will kick in on its own, no need to run water (not practical if you have a long extension it will take forever and waste loads of water).

This was the best and simplest review. Other channels were pissing me off not being thorough in explaining how to do this. Nice job

I adopted a 55gal tank two years ago and it came with one of these and I had no idea how to use it and became super frustrated with it. Now I feel like a fool for not looking into!! I was using it backwards and didn't know it hooked up to the sink. Been muscling water buckets forever now. Ugh. I'm so excited to use it properly. Great video! Tanks a lot!! :)

Thank you so so much! I've been needing to do a water change on my Axolotl's 20gal (soon to be upgraded to 30gal) and I had no idea how to use the python. My parents knew but whenever I asked them to help me do a water change or if they could teach me how to use it they said "later". I've been watching other python how-to videos and I just didn't get it, and now I do! Thats so very much!

I just learned about this magical siphon . Im buying one ASAP. I used to siphon all the water into a giant 45 gallon trash can... then I would put an electric water pump into the trash can ... then drain everything down the drain . this is definitely worth a try, im tired of making water messes.

Thanks for the video. I did my first water change/gravel vac with the python today. It was easier than anticipated. the hardest part is getting the temperature of the water right as your faucet can be a lil tricky to manuver. Although I was able to get it within 1 degree.

okay, I finally, (after 2 years of hauling buckets of water) bought a Python water changer kit! Wow I am so happy I finally did it! It works great! My one hour water changes now take about 10 minutes! I was a little nervous to add the water back into the tank because I normally put the water conditioner into the bucket and then pour into the aquarium. So I put some of the conditioner in first as well as half way through the fill and then a little more near the end. I have a 120 gallon tank and this is going to save me a lot of time. Thanks Big Al's! Love your store!

i couldnt get it to work at first. cussing and swearing help alot to get it to work. i love it. 2 thumbs up.

Sweet. This looks like a good buy. I was a little amused at the force of the water at the beginning of the refill process. Make sure all your plants are well rooted. Thanks for the video.

[cathyk]

this product is genius, i love it, no more buckets for me, i cant believe lived without this for so many many years

[ChelseaGirlStatus]

the only good that has come to me from doing old fashion water changes is i have some pretty buff arms now lol

[bayareabettas]

So I want to ask WHEN I drain water out from my tank, do I always have to keep the water by the sink running? I mean thats the way to create pressure so the water can be sucked down the tubing. Isnt it waste of water coming out from the sink faucet?

[johnhayes]

Great product. I have a 20 46 and just started a 75 discus tank. Save so much time. Watched video and directions were spot on. Highly recommend.

This beautiful invention put the love back into fish keeping

[freya]

Thank you my mom is wanting one of these systems and I wanted to see how easy it was to hook up and run with the hook attachment this was just the kind of video I was hunting for. Thanks for being informative, easy to watch and not having annoying music overlaid lol

Where can I buy that Big Al's sleeveless vest?

Ok so I received my python and watching the videos I was able to clean my tank and refil in under 10 minutes. This product is Insane. Just add water conditioner after removal of partial. Also new tanks remember to cycle the tank. Man this is a game changer. Upgrading to 125 gal from 55 gal and now looking forward to it.

Good videoI picked up this water changing system a couple weeks ago...the cost was my only hesitation but after one use I  was hooked.  Like the tip on the extended gravel vacuum and will be looking to pick one up for my 90G Tank. My LFS did not have the water fill attachment and may have to look into that too but not in a rush. Now I use my bucket to store the Python...

In order to drain the tank, you need to leave the tap water running?
