No spill HAHA.

That happened to me too! I did figure out the problem and it was a piece that I thought was suppost to move but apperently not. What end was it spewing out of? Mine was at the sink and it turns out ALL parts must be securley tightened!

I've had very good luck with the python. I don't use it the way it's meant to though. I still siphon without it (actually, i siphon through the python hose hooked to a garden hose that waters my yard with a long length of that "soaker" hose stuff. Or just into the yard without the soaker hose if we haven't had a lot of rain.

I only use the true python part (attached to the faucet) to fill the tank, which I've never had an issue with...

Make sure everything is tightened securely, and make sure you've not got the spout in the wrong position, since that could make a mess. Also make sure your sink drains properly, especially if you're using the siphon function of the python attached to the sink - that is a LOT of water that the drain needs to take in a short amount of time.

Good luck. I've had mine for about 5 years and wouldn't go without it for filling tanks!

I have been using the cheaper Lee's kit and its pretty much the same thing. I only use the the main part actually called an educator to start the siphon becasue its waste so much fresh water to use it for draining an entire tank. So I just start using it to suck the water out then pinch the hose off, shut the water off and undo the hose to place it either in the tub or one could hook it up to the sprinkler system outside.

Hmm it's a pretty simple device to operate, did you read the instructions?

Yeah and while I was reading the instructions, water was spraying on the floor from the faucet end.
