Q: How do you dry the inside of the hose once it's been used? I'm worried about mold getting inside the tubing. I have it hanging, but it's still wet.

I do not know if my method may work for you as house mold or aquarium algae may be different from household to household BUT here is what I do and the tubing of my set has remained free of both. First of all the tubing of my set is clear not black and I can see if such problems creep-up. If they were to appear I would throw them out and buy a replacement at a hardware store for much less.I keep my tubing free of mold or algae growth by flushing it for a 2-3 minutes with hot water out of the faucet, as hot as it comes out. Then I reverse the flow with both hot and cold water on for max suction and pick up the house from the suction spout to a level higher than the sink valve to ease the drainage. Keeping the house higher than the sink and valve I move along the tubing all the way to the other end connected to the sink. This drains most of the water. An extra benefit is that the hot water has softened the tubing and makes it easier to coil it back into the inside wall of a 5 gallon bucket I use to store it.I hope this helps.

Q: can this hook up to a outdoor water spicket? My tank is not close to a sink but there is a water spicket just outside the window of the room that the

If your outdoor water hose can screw on a sink fitting in your home them they are likely the same size/thread. If not Aqueon might have adapters or you might find something at the hardware store but unlikely. To get a definitive answer you're better off asking Aqueon directly.

Q: Hi, need help! it works, but no matter the faucet turn, not enough pressure/suction to clean from under gravel. Please any advice? Thanks!

Having 40 plus tanks for a rescue I use several types of these anywhere from 25 to 100 feet. Trick I learned is make sure to fill the hose like your going to fill the tank from the sink faucet.Turn of the water. Place the siphon/vacuum in the tank water. Open the valves to vaccum the gravel or tank qith the water on like normal. Thus will hwlpnstart the natural siphon easier and you won't lose suction this way. I have done this with low pressure sinks. Also the attachment for the sink isn't the best and you can buy one like the other brands that works better and just use this hose and vacuum.

Q: can the standard 3/16 tubing fit this? i would like to use the gravel vacuum i have now if possible

3/16" tubing is the same size as airline tubing. Most gravel suction devices use at least 1/2" or greater. This unit will fit 5/8 naturally, or 1/2 to 3/4" with some slight modification. I hope this helps.

Quite Happy With My Purchase!

I had snapped off a piece of the original one and it would no longer screw onto the tap. So I ordered the new one from amazon. It arried in 3 days and what surprised me was the washers that came with it. The original didn't have all of them so it leaked around the tap when I was filling the tank. The new one is great..it functions perfectly and lo and behold no leaks. I am quite happy with my purchase.

Best thing I've ever bought for the aquarium

Best thing I've ever bought for my aquarium. I would recommend this as it makes the water changing so easy.Tips: After you start the syphon process release the water changer from your sink and put it somewhere else to drain (a.e. shower , outside...) so you save water. If not you'll take the water from the tank but in the same time you'll consume a lot of water from the sink that goes down the drain.Per total I'm a very happy chappy with my new water changer.

Fits my water changer

I needed this as a replacement because my last one got stripped and wouldn't stay in the sink faucet. Its been a few months and this one still works, just be careful to not screw it in too tightly.
