Python Aquarium Products No Spill Clean/Fill 50'

Keep an eye on the price if you are considering buying this, as it had dropped before my order had even arrived with me.. However it is amazing.. I just had my fastest, cleanest, easiest water change ever. Took me a bit to work out its connections and how to use it first, but I have taken some pictures to help others with how it attached to my UK kitchen sink. I removed the screw off aerator on the end of my tap, then needed to remove the thicker of the 2 rubber internal seals on the universal adapter, this left it a perfect tight fit on my tap with no leaks. I did find that I needed my water to flow pretty fast to create the initial vacuum but once establish I had around 25% water removed in a very short period of time. Not sure yet how to test my water temp with out it flowing back in once the attachment to turned on fill selection but thankfully I've filled buckets enough times now to have a good guess at where my levers are normally positioned. Just needed to add my Prime direct to the tank. After ordering I did find cheaper alternatives and was a bit annoyed but honestly I do not regret having ordered this one as it truly is of very good quality and will last a long time. I hope this review with my pictures to show the attachment to my tap will help someone.

The Python No Spill Clean and Fill Aquarium Maintenance System is an absolute game-changer for anyone with a fish tank! It has completely transformed the way I handle water changes — what used to be a messy, time-consuming chore is now quick, clean, and incredibly efficient. This tool makes the whole process so convenient. No more heavy lifting, buckets, spills, or cleanup — just attach it, turn it on, and you’re good to go. It siphons and refills with ease, all without disturbing the fish or creating a mess around the tank. It’s honestly one of the best aquarium tools I’ve ever purchased. If you’re serious about maintaining a clean and healthy tank without the hassle, I highly recommend this product. It saves time, effort, and keeps everything tidy — couldn’t ask for more!

I must admit I was a bit apprehensive before buying this as I was sure it wouldn't work as described, or wouldn't fit my tap or something else. I was actually amazed at how good this thing is. I've only used it once so far but it makes changing the water so easy that I was actually standing there at the end scratching my head wondering "Is that it ?" To make this thing work, they say you have to connect it to your faucet and turn the cold water on at full power to generate the suction for taking the water from the aquarium but I just can't bring myself to waste that much water. I tried using the cold tap to get the suction going and then turning the tap off but the suction just died away, so that didn't work. So what I did was, ran the hose form the aquarium, down my hallway, through the kitchen and out the back door and pointed it down a drain. Then I started the gravel cleaner normally and the water just flowed out of the aquarium, down the hose and down the back drain. When I wanted to refill the aquarium, I just connected the hose to my faucet, ran the water to get the right temperature (using a digital thermometer), and refilled the tank. I think the fish loved it as there were no buckets of water getting dumped on top of them. I also just added the chemicals to the tank as it started to refill. Job done. I'll never go back to using buckets and this is one of the best purchases I've ever made on Amazon. (No I don't work for Python, honestly !)

This is a really good product. You attach one end to your sink and add the other to the tank. Turn the tap on and let the water flow into the sink and it creates a vacuum and the water is syphoned from your tank. When you're done, you warm up the water to the correct temperature for your tank and flip a switch and it fills the tank. The tubing is thick and there is a mix of plastic and metal parts, but it all seems good quality. The only problem for me is that (With a 50ft tube) you have to turn the tap on full to generate the pressure to vacuum the gravel at an equal performance to my little hand held/big bucket combination. With a large tank, this is a hell of a lot of water to waste - I am surprised that Python do not offer a suction "pump" to use electricity rather than water as (again) it's huge amounts of water down the drain. Because of this, I find that I use my 20l bucket and gravel vacuum to empty the tank. It is more powerful in terms of cleaning the gravel if you have a hand pump attached to create the syphon and it's a bit more controlled. Then when I'm ready to fill up I use the Python. This saves a lot of time so I'm glad I bought it, but I do wish there was a better solution for getting the water out of the tank.

Guys, I need to thank youfro inventing/manufacturing this item, it has made my life 1000% more easier. I used tyo use bucketsa to fill my 6 aquariums, and it left a mess and took me ages to get it right. Now I just hook up the python, switch it to syphon and it suck all water and dirt out, then i change it to push and it fills up my tank nice and quick, i use a thermometer on my tap to amke sure i have the same temp, and add prime and stability at the point of entry of the water. No issues, no spill and most welcome never ever use a bucket again. My fish, wife and my back thank you so much!! definitly worth the price

Does not come with brass adjustable adapter as pictured, comes with a single use white plastic one.

This is the second one of this product I’ve brought. First brought it from a pet shop over 20 years ago and was so glad when I was able to replace it. It may seem a lot of money but the best product for cleaning out your fish tank without the back breaking work of bucketing water from the tank. I have a mixer tap as you can see in the picture, so if you have one like this you will need to get extra attachments - these are the black parts you can see in the picture. I kept mine from my old python which fitted the new one really well. Cleaning the tank was a dream as normal, painless. Would highly recommend this product. Looking at purchasing another one for my son ti clean his fish tank.

Game changer for changing the fish tank water. Been using for months and still in near perfect condition

I have a python for at least 25 years and would never part with it. I bought this one for my priest who is setting up a 55 gallon in his office. He has two smaller tanks and using buckets doesn't bother him. I suggested he try this because using buckets for water changes in anything bigger that a 20 gallon was no fun and would get to be a chore, putting off doing much needed gravel cleaning and water changing. This thing is so easy to use and makes cleaning your grave and changing water a breeze. I enjoy my fish so much more because I don't have the water mess and sore back from carrying buckets. Water changes are so easy and quick that you will be apt to do them on a regular schedule. Your fish will thank you. Clean water and gravel means less disease. This is a must have tool for anyone serious about keeping your fish healthy. Kathy

Universal adapter… questionable. The whole thing except the air pump can be built for eur20 from any hardware store. I did not manage to create enough suction from my gravity fed system to empty an aquarium. The taps connected to the main can’t be attached to the “universal” adapter. So far I am planning on returning it. Will probably go to the hardware store and see if I can find another adapter but…

I heard about this product for years but as I live in Australia it's not sold here so I never gave it much thought. After years of struggling with buckets, I saw many YouTube videos of North American fish keeper using the Python to change water with ease. I had a look on amazon and saw prime has these at a reasonable price including shipping to Australia, so I bought one. I have not looked back since, its the best money I have spent on a fish keeping accessory in my 15 years in the hobby. Note as I live in Australia, I had to buy adaptors to connect to our taps/hoses. I used both the hoselink us caravan adaptors and Bunnings north American sprinkler adaptor. Both worked with no issues, however the sprinkler adaptor connected to our garden hoses was the easiest. I now do 75-90 % water changes on all my 200litre+ tanks with ease. I use water conditioner (dose for the entire tank once) as the water is going into the tank and have had no issues (including with baby fish and my sensitive German blue rams). My nitrates are super low and tanks crystal clear. You can do less say 50% if you are worried about shocking your fish. In my opinion after filters and air stones, this is the most important accessory you could buy for a freshwater tank of greater than say 60 liters. Get one, it's worth the effort of adapting it your tap/water system. It will save your back and your fish will be much happier.

Been carrying buckets for far too long. Did my research and got me the 50’ Python. Turns out the only sink I can really hook up to is the deep sink in my garage (thus the 50’ and not something shorter). It’s more expensive to get the extensions than it is to just get the 50’. So that plus a 2’ intake tube. As I read in previous reviews, getting hooked up on a deep sink faucet can be a challenge too. Turns out, it’s true. I purchased the adapter that I thought would fit but it’s different. Fine thread vs. coarse thread really. If you look at my picks, the q1st is the stock adapter that will get you from the hose to a regular faucet. The 2nd is the adapter, my new adapter I got from a plumbing store ($4) and the handle to the deep sink faucet which I used to show the plumbing store guy what kind of thread I needed to hook up to. Voila. So that issue solved, I did my first water change tonight and it was AWESOME! This this works fantastic. Just as advertised. Easiest water change over ever done. It’s a little slow on the initial uptake but once the water hits the smaller tubing, the pressure builds up nicely. Switching over to fill (I got the fill hook tube too) was easy and clean. Switched the sink attachment to fill and it was done. Drained and stowed. Easy day. So...al in all the construction and pieces and let’s are all top quality and the price is right for everything. While they offer a few adapters they don’t have the one that gets you to a coarse threaded deep sink end. Easily solved but it was an extra step. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic solution if you don’t want to deal with multiple buckets.

So easy. 50ft of hose. You can also buy a hook separately for this. I have it hooked to my bathroom sink. Just had to take the aerator off. All you gotta do is put the vacuum in the tank and go turn the tap on until the water goes all the way to the tap and then you can turn of the tap. The suction is good enough to keep sifting the water. No need to waste water!! Most people dont know this. Once your done emptying, either put the hook on or if you dont have one, switch the green part on the tap part to fill and turn the tap back on. Add your conditioner directly to your tank before your start filling. Great quality hose, attachment are useful. All fish keepers with tanks bigger than 20 gallon tanks should have this!
