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.

I have a python for at least 25 years and would never part with it. I bought this one for my priest who is setting up a 55 gallon in his office. He has two smaller tanks and using buckets doesn't bother him. I suggested he try this because using buckets for water changes in anything bigger that a 20 gallon was no fun and would get to be a chore, putting off doing much needed gravel cleaning and water changing. This thing is so easy to use and makes cleaning your grave and changing water a breeze. I enjoy my fish so much more because I don't have the water mess and sore back from carrying buckets. Water changes are so easy and quick that you will be apt to do them on a regular schedule. Your fish will thank you. Clean water and gravel means less disease. This is a must have tool for anyone serious about keeping your fish healthy. Kathy

Excelente!!!! Muy practica, funcional y fácil de usar.

Universal adapter… questionable. The whole thing except the air pump can be built for eur20 from any hardware store. I did not manage to create enough suction from my gravity fed system to empty an aquarium. The taps connected to the main can’t be attached to the “universal” adapter. So far I am planning on returning it. Will probably go to the hardware store and see if I can find another adapter but…

I heard about this product for years but as I live in Australia it's not sold here so I never gave it much thought. After years of struggling with buckets, I saw many YouTube videos of North American fish keeper using the Python to change water with ease. I had a look on amazon and saw prime has these at a reasonable price including shipping to Australia, so I bought one. I have not looked back since, its the best money I have spent on a fish keeping accessory in my 15 years in the hobby. Note as I live in Australia, I had to buy adaptors to connect to our taps/hoses. I used both the hoselink us caravan adaptors and Bunnings north American sprinkler adaptor. Both worked with no issues, however the sprinkler adaptor connected to our garden hoses was the easiest. I now do 75-90 % water changes on all my 200litre+ tanks with ease. I use water conditioner (dose for the entire tank once) as the water is going into the tank and have had no issues (including with baby fish and my sensitive German blue rams). My nitrates are super low and tanks crystal clear. You can do less say 50% if you are worried about shocking your fish. In my opinion after filters and air stones, this is the most important accessory you could buy for a freshwater tank of greater than say 60 liters. Get one, it's worth the effort of adapting it your tap/water system. It will save your back and your fish will be much happier.
