What is a Python & what are the benefits?

I've never had to use any tap water conditioner before since I am on well water and have tested it for everything I could find a test for and it's very clean. I suppose I should just do a test on the water from the hot water heater and see if there is any problem. My back is starting to hurt from carrying all these buckets of water and I would like to use a python type method if I felt confortable with the healthyness of it.

Actually I just thought of something, since most of the supposed contaminents are in a semi-solid form. Then maybe all one would need is an inline filter similiar to those used inline for filling up a RV drinking water tank. I should probally do this and do tests so that I can feel satisfied that its free of anything that could accumalate and be harmful to any of my organisms.
 
Just a word of caution, Dr. D, don't overtighten any of the connections of the Python. I already cracked two connections from overtightening them.:mad:

Otherwise it is a great time saver. I drain about 1/3 of my tank and slowly refill it while I add water conditioner. So far the fish and plants seem fine with this after 6 months.
 
Devil...... just to clarify...... you're not talking about straight hot water, right? You mean water using the hot and cold to come to the correct temp.....or are you?

It's made of plastic so like someone earlier said, it can crack, but you can get brass replacement parts. Also you can get, a tube extender, and a carrying strap thingy. I wouldn' be surprised if you could get a hose extention also. You can even get pyhton shirts.
 
Is there anything really special to the python or could you easily make one with a T facucet hookup and a gravel vac?
 
This may sound stupid - do you add the (i use Tetraqua) directly to the tank, or is their an "access" port to add it before it goes in?

DUUUUUH........................:D
