screw the python.. just use a diy one.. ill post pics up in about an hour when i get the time.. lol
screw that just think of it as a workout like i do:) no really get the python but it uses water to remove and add so it uses alot of water... but my new apt has free water:headbang2 so i will be getting another one. i threw my python away about a year ago cause it got all smelly and nasty. probably coulda just cleaned it, anyway my faucet has a shower head thingy on it too so its a little different and the adapter they sell wont work either.
 
ok heres the most awesome way of changing water.. lol.. start the syphon and go do something else.. the only con is when filling you need to check on it all the time, otherwise you might get an overflow.. its happened to me a few times already.. lol


the little silver piece goes into the sink faucets.. and is only used in the winter when i cant use the garden hose outside..

syphoning doesn't waste water.. just start it up with the sucking method and run the hose to the nearest bathtub..

the clear part of the hose is so i can see what is going down the hose... in theory you could run the garden hose all the way up to the adapater and save some money.. :D

nope.. but i can clean my sand with it.. just slip the only fitting i have that isn't cemented in and put on a longer tube..

i have a seperate hose for gravel vacs..
 
I ordered the python adaptr and it still didn't fit on my sink
I guess I'll try lowes
