Well I broke down a got myself a Python last night. I though this would be the answer to a no fuss water change but that wasn't to be. For a start, I couldn't get enough water pressure to drain the tank because the only place I can hook the python to was upstairs in the kitchen and my tank is down in the basement. ok no big deal. I have plenty of spare buckets and it was no hassle just to fill them up and empty them outside.
The main problem was the connecter to the faucet would not go out of the drain position. No matter how I tightened it, water just came out the bootom and out the sides. I ended up taking it off and just connecting the hose directly to the faucet. I fiiled the tank back up. Great. When the water level was good I closed the switch to stop the water flow. So I go back up to the kitchen and there's a fountain of water spraying everywhere because the hose doesn't seem to go tight enough.
:rant:
I'm taking this back. Don't know if I'll exchange it or just make my own.
