I purchased this kit to go along with a 40 gallon Breeder tank for two baby Mississippi Map Turtles. All of the research I did told me that turtles are extremely messy and need a diligent cleaning plan, to say the least. I didn't use this product for the first product change, and it took me over an hour, and the tank wasn't cleaned to my satisfaction. The Python 25ft No Spill Clean & Fill Kit made the difference for me.For starters, the whole kit is very easy to assemble. You won't even need the instructions, but they are very detailed and cover the filling and draining stages in depth. The manufacturer also includes a parts replacement sheet, in case of a broken or missing piece. The product is as simple as screwing an adapter into the sink, attaching the hose, putting the end of the hose in the tank, and turning the water on. The kit drains surprisingly quick, and does a good job off getting under the rocks. It's almost like a vacuum tube that lifts up the rocks and gets all the debris under it. If you have larger rocks, this product won't really be able to pull them up, but its just a matter of moving the rocks around with the tube while you drain all the water.It took me about 20 minutes to completely drain, clean, and fill the tank up the first time I used this kit. This includes about a 5 minute period I spent looking for a piece of the kit that I misplaced. The water was crystal clear after the cleaning, and looked much better than the hand cleaning I did. I have cleaned the tank two more times since the initial test, and each time has taken me 12 or 15 minutes to get through the whole process. Most of the places I read said the turtle tank really needs to have a partial cleaning every week to two weeks, so the kit is a godsend. I work full time and go to school full time, so spending an hour once a week cleaning the tank was not something I was looking forward too.I would highly recommend anyone looking for a product to clean any size aquarium to look into the Python 25ft No Spill Clean & Fill Kit. Its value has been priceless to me considering all the time its saved me, and again for how good of a job it does. The price is reasonable anyway so if you're on the fence with this product, just go for it. You'll be happy you did.

This thing is a godsend. I was seriously considering getting out of the aquarium hobby due to the constant filling and carrying of 5 gallon buckets to change water. This product was suggested to me and I took the plunge. This thing works! This beats the heck out of buckets. I bought one that was returned and quickly found out why it was returned. The adapter that comes with the product did not fit on my pull down faucet. I went to a local hardware store and found the correct adapter for about $7 US. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I will attach photos for reference.

Okay so first things first. I bought this myself, no discounts etc. I was previously using Aqueon's water changer in the 50ft length because of the distance from my kitchen sink to the fish tank. Really I needed a 28ft hose. So after the last one broke twice in one year I decided to try Pythons for $10 more out of frustration. However one of the BIG differences between them is the reason I was able to get the 25ft one instead of the 50ft.First thing of note: The part that connects to the sink faucet is MUCH shorter (and smaller) that the other. That means I can put it on the bathroom sink faucet instead of the kitchen and stretching it through the house. I have the old 'seashell' sinks with short faucets.Second thing: SUCTION!!!!! I mean oh my gosh! Siphoned out half my tank in 3mins. Didn't get clogged even when I sucked up half a tube of gravel. Accidently sucked up a fish too. But I pulled it out of the water and the fish dropped out. Angry but fine.Third thing: SIMPLE! No flipping of dials or toggles or levers or anything. The old one had like three toggles and it was like a guessing game to figure out which toggles had to be in the open/closed to suck out water (which it didn't-still had to use buckets) or refill with more water. It does have a lever, but here is the deal. The thing you screw into your faucet? Has a simple twist open/closed valve on the bottom. Screw the thing on your faucet. Stick the big tube in the tank. Open valve on the part screwed on your faucet. TaDa! The water suctions right out. Ready to refill? Twist the valve shut and tada! The water pours back in your tank.Fourth thing. Has a metal (MEATAL) adapter to screw into your faucet. Comes with a washer. Important because it is designed to work on inner screw faucets and outer screw faucets. Just remove the washer and off you go. Or don't. No fancy costly adapters to buy to fit your sink.Okay so those are the main point highlights. For the last three years I was saving money on a worse product, paying for it with time and effort. Still had to do buckets, had to have two hoses to vacuum, took HOURS. I just used the Python today and swear to god the tank was done in 10 mins. And that included opening the package, reading the directions, hooking it up to my kitchen sink then realizing it would fit in the bathroom and moving it, sucking out water and ick and then refilling the tank with fresh water. 10 MINUTES!!!!! Okay, so now I might actually do the 25% a week water changes. Since it took hours before I basically only cleaned it when I had to. Not anymore. So seriously, I am a garage sale/goodwill/walmart kind of person, but this right here is worth the money to buy. Pay the extra $10!!!!! You will thank yourself. Don't wait three years!

My brother encouraged me to pick up a Python prior to setting up my 40g cichlid tank, and am I ever glad I did. The 25ft length is just long enough to run from my utility sink to the tank, so luckily I didn't have to buy the hose extension. The supplied adapters also work with my faucet, so this is ready to go out of the box (bag?) for me. It's incredibly simple to use: put the vacuum end in the water, open the valve, attach to the sink and ensure its set to drain, not fill. Turn on the cold water just enough to start a siphon and you're set - head back to the tank and start vacuuming the gravel. Once you've pulled enough water, take the vacuum out of the tank and go get your fill temperature matched to the tank. Get the hose back in the tank and start filling. Like someone else commented, I usually add a full dose of Prime to my tank as soon as I start filling and the fish do fine. Once the tank is almost full I usually run back and switch the drain/fill valve to drain, and then run back to pull the vacuum. I've used the open/close valve by the vacuum in the past, but the seals don't seem to hold up against water pressure. This ends up with water flying all over the laundry room from the sink-hose connection.Pros:+ Great construction for the most part. Hoses are thick, the siphon starts easily, the vacuum works well.+ Comes with several faucet adapters to fit a range of regular and utility sinks.+ Very easy and fast to use. The process described above takes about 30 mins for a 50% water change on a 40 gallon tank.+ Once you get a system down, no spilled water at all (unless your Rottweiler knocks the hose out of the tank while its filling - very fun, believe me)Cons:- The seals on the faucet attachment don't stand up to water pressure as mentioned above. I wouldn't suggest closing the open/close valve unless you have a towel handy.Final word: This is a great accessory for doing water changes, I'd almost even say mandatory. I wouldn't ever set up a tank without one to be honest.

Va bene per rendere i cambi d'acqua facili ma farei attenzione alla misura del vostro rubinetto. Essendo un prodotto americano non si incastra come si deve e quindi mi sono dovuta arrangiare.

TenÃa dudas en comprar este producto pero no me arrepiento nada. Te cambia la vida; olvÃdate de cargar cubetas y ensuciar; los cambios de agua son rapidÃsimos y comodisiomos, yo tengo Discos y son mi exigentes en los cambios continuos de agua. Se los recomiendo a todo aquel que tenga acuarios de más de 20 galones. Esto es un artÃculo obligatorio para el acuario:
