I found a link on how to build your own custom Python. I'm going to give it a shot. If I don't have to haul buckets I'll be happy!:dance2: If anybody has tried this before post your experiences. Thanks!!!

Here's the link

This is what i use. Its best to get a decent hose, some of the cheaps ones kink way too easy. Its still cheaper than a full clear hose most of the time, plus most of the wal-mart water bed fillers are cheaply made and i have gone through three in the past year, still on my original python
 
I used a waterbed type fill/drain gadget like the one in the article with my python once after breaking the one that came with it. To me it just didnt seem to work as well.
