Product Information

In a nutshell, this product is worth every single cent since it comes with a number of practical features and functions that surely makes cleaning and water changes in the tank a faster and easier job to manage. 6. Lee’s The Ultimate Gravel Vac 25′ Kit Today, we go hands-on with the Aqueon water changer, a handy device that will drastically cut down the time it takes for you to perform a water change! However, this comes at a cost. For the price of a good electric gravel vacuum, you could afford up to five of the siphon-style gravel vacuums. And once that’s done I would then attach my python hose to the shower thermostat in bathroom so I could put in the exact temperature of water into the tank that I wanted, you’ll soon learn the exact spot where to adjust water temps on taps etc and once you’ve ironed out the little bits and pieces, well worth it.

The latest change I made to was to accommodate the recent California droughts. Water here is resource not to be wasted. Using water pressure to pump water out of the tank wasn’t OK anymore (expensive too????)

Assessing the DIY Python Water Changer:

Below you will find my opinion of the Python Water Changer and whether it’s the best and if it can connect to all faucets?

Before I continue, I want to stress that cold water changers come with a slight learning curve. If you have never operated an aquarium water changer before, read over our how to use an aquarium water changer guide. It will help you avoid common mistakes that many beginners make. There is no denying that Aqueon’s water changer saves time and effort when performing a weekly water change.On the rare occasion that you can’t reach your fish tank from your faucet with the supplied tubing, Python also offer hose extensions which should sort it out no problems! These hose extensions are designed to simply be a plug and play. The 20 foot extension hose should be more than enough to cover you! Problems Yes. I consider a gravel vacuum cleaner to be an essential product for all aquariums – even those without gravel! Next, I screw the water pump onto the adaptor. When I tighten, I make sure that the ‘tee’ that the hose attaches to is pointed in a direction where the hose can be attached. Once that is attached, I screw on the female end of my hose. I went with a 10′ long hose as the tank is right next to the sink. If we get another aquarium and put it in the other room, it will be simple for me to get a 50′ hose. It’s not something we noticed on our first few uses. But it soon became apparent – the hose of the Aqueon water changer kinked easier than the other water changers we tested. I am unsure if it’s by design, but the model we tested came covered in a fine white powder – not something we wanted in our aquarium.

Still, there is no denying that you can get by without an aquarium water changer – it’s just going to take you longer to perform your weekly water change. By placing the tube end of the gravel vac over your substrate, you can vacuum all this gunk away, keeping your tank neat and tidy.
