Is my water pressure not good enough?

[NJ Devils Fan]

I have a python that I use to clean the tank, but when the water reaches the highest point in the tube(by my hand) it stops and nothing happens. I usually put both, the hot and cold all the way up for what seems to be the greatest pressure.

what floor are you on?

I've found the Python has the most pressure when hooking it up to the garden hose. I'm not sure if you have that option, but it works..

I tryed my 55 downstairs and the python only 1 floor up would not suck the water up!!! Does anyoen else have this problem, Now I hook it up to the sink 1 floor below me, adn it works fine. It should still get the job done, I have a lot of room in my basement and I am dissapointed I can't keep any large tank downstairs because the stupid python doesn't work
