Siphon-style. This is commonly comprised of a hollow tube and a hose and is regarded as the most renowned device for cleaning the tank water. This comes in a broad array of sizes and ideal for use among newbies and experts. This is cost-effective, siphon and cleans your tank and does not generally require batteries since gravity does the entire job.

From plastic fittings that did not hold up to regular use to hosing that gives off a strong plastic smell and easily kinks. Sure, as a water changer, it’s functional, but based on our testing, we expect that you will need to replace it within a year of regular use. After spending weeks performing hundreds of water changes, we are confident that we found the best water changer on the market… Winner: Python Water Changer As the water drains from your aquarium, it will begin its journey through at least 25 feet of hose… This is the type of gravel vacuum you want. You will soon see that the alternative doesn’t compare…Python sells all these fittings separately. It would have been nice if they were included so that everyone, regardless of faucet style, could use the water changer straight out of the box. With Python water changers stretching up to 100 feet in length, coiling the hose up once you are finished with it can be a messy job.

First, consider the depth of your aquarium. If you don’t want to submerge your arm up to your shoulder, a deeper aquarium needs a longer vacuum tube. Alternatively, you could always grab a good pair of aquarium gloves to keep your hands and arms dry. Last week while doing a water change on the Cichlid tank the safety ????thingy did its job perfectly. A large convict cichlid somehow got in the gravel tube but didn’t get near the dangerous end. No tragic accident occurred! Whew! I’ve also broken one gravel tube, the threaded male end snapped right off the tube and the plastic compression nut started to disintegrate so the hose kept slipping off it. Mind, this is the only time the gravel tube broke, whereas 3 faucet pumps have bitten the dust in the same length of time.

How Does The Python Aquarium Water Changer Compare to Other Gravel Vacuums Like Aqueon?

Sure, the Aqueon water changer might offer a generously sized siphon tube, but those of you with deeper tanks won’t be able to gravel vac your aquarium without getting your hands wet. The brass adapter included in the kit fits standard-sized threaded faucets. We simply popped out our aerator and screwed the aquarium water pump directly into our faucet. All in all, it took less than 30 seconds to set up.

Unfortunately, this meant that we had to spend a long time cleaning the Hydromaxx to ensure that every last bit of dust was gone before using it. If you don’t want to use the gravel tube, it can be removed, allowing you to position the hose to drain water from your tank instead.Don’t panic – simply attach this extension hose to your water changer for an extra 20 feet of reach! What we liked… Whatever the reason, Python makes the best-constructed and most-durable water changer on the market. As the water passes through the faucet pump, this would then create the siphon and begins to pull water from the aquarium to your kitchen sink. Afterward, it is high time to alter the direction of the water and this may be done by means of adjusting the faucet pump’s bottom. Then, you will see that a simple pull and turn would immediately alter the direction of the water.
