Python for Water Changes?

[rmarrandino1]

I've read a lot of posts where folks are raving about the Python water changer that hooks up to the faucet.

Currently I use a bucket, fill it up, and pour in water conditioner to get rid of the chlorine.

My question is: By using the Python do you fill the tank directly from the faucet and then put the conditioner in the tank? Can they handle the chlorine for that short amount of time?

i used to do exactly what you're doing. now, using the python, i just add conditioner to the stream of water going into the tank. it mixes it up just fine. i've had no problems yet.

it rocks!

cbock,

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you add it as the water enters the tank or is there an opening on the hose that allows you to add it when the water comes out of the faucet?

sorry, should have been more clear....

there is no opening in the hose. as the water empties into the tank, i lift the hose near the surface and dump the conditioner into the stream of water coming out of the hose. there is enough turbulence created by the water that i'm confident it dissipates the concentration of conditioner quickly. and, like i said, i have had no problems yet.

no prob. and, i recommend bigalsonline as the place to get it. saved me a bunch. and today is double points day there.

oh and another thing. make sure you check your sink for the proper attachment. i had to purchase the universal adaptor.
