Help, tank at stake!

[fishwhisperer]

ok guys.. i need some serious ideas to solve a problem, normally im great at this magiver problem solving stuff..

here is the problem: my sink is very very dumb, i hate it, the reason is; my python will not hook up to it, iv tried every adapter out there that replaces the airator, but my fuacet wont accept any of them, iv even tryd boiling a garden hose and trying to shimmy it over the spout.. no avail. any one else have this problem? if so please help

How is your tank at stake just because your python won't hook up to the sink? I don't really get it, please clarify

my step mom says that the jugs (im having to use instead of the python for water changes) look like trash and if i dont find anouther solution then im gonna have to get rid of my tank. my situation with living with her is on some wierd bounds right now and theres alot going on. so i can not afford to rock the boat on this one, and the python issue is killing me

I don't really get your moms reasoning. Just because the jugs are ugly she doesn't want you using them? Wow..

You could try buying a faucet adapter that goes on your hose and the sink? They're cheap and may work

tried it, the way the airator screws into the fuacet makes it impossible to use any adapters, iv bought a tottall of 6 different ones in hope of solving it that way

Remove the aerator so you can attach the adapter?

its the way its threaded, very deep inside the fuacet

Hmm...Idk then, I would just browse around Lowe's, Home Depot, or Menards in the plumbing department and see if anything there can help

I've never had this problem though, so I cannot really help much. & I'm out of ideas, so I'll let someone else post who has had this problem or knows how to help you. Sorry, & good luck man

The aerator should unscrew. This is where you screw in the adapter. Threads is threads, man. Typically, the aerator is a fine thread and the python is a coarse thread.

You could try posting a picture of the aerator and the faucet with the aerator off.
