Python No Spill Clean 'N Fill

No Spill Clean 'N Fill? Use any faucet's water pressure to suction-clean gravel and refill your aquarium with fresh, clean water. It saves time, backaches, and is mess-free.

Discover the revolutionary water changing and gravel cleaning solution customers tell us is "the best product to come along in 20 years." The Python No Spill Clean 'N Fill easily adapts to most faucets, using water pressure to simultaneously siphon water from your aquarium and clean aquarium gravel. With a flip of the Python faucet pump, clean fresh water is directed back to fill the aquarium. Put an end to the backbreaking bucket brigade... and its mess!

Includes tubing, gravel tube, on/off valve, hose connectors, faucet pump, and faucet adapter. Comes in four sizes, ready to use. Measure distance from faucet-to-aquarium to determine which product to order. For fresh or saltwater aquariums.

Replacement parts available: Faucet Pump, Hose Extensions, Gravel Tubes, and Other Accessories.

To clean your aquarium:

1. Remove the aerator and washer from the faucet you will be using. Install the faucet adapter onto the faucet. NOTE: If you have male (outside) threading on your faucet, remove the inner ring of the faucet adapter, as it will not be needed.
2. Attach the faucet pump to the adapter or to the faucet directly if you are not using the adapter. Make sure not to turn the faucet pump too tightly when attaching - only slight pressure is needed.
3. Connect tubing to the pump by screwing connector to the side opening on the faucet pump.
4. Uncoil your No Spill Clean 'N Fill unit and check ALL fittings to make sure they are tight.
5. Make sure the switch is in the OPEN position.
6. Pull the bottom of the faucet pump gently down to the DRAIN position. Make sure your sink is free from blockage. Your No Spill Clean 'N Fill will run faster than normal faucet pressure.
7. Turn on the COLD water. Start with full water pressure. You may adjust the water pressure for power as needed.
8. Insert gravel tube straight down to the bottom of the gravel and hold it still, allowing the gravel to lift and churn to remove the liquid and solid waste. If fish or gravel are drawn into the gravel tube, you may interrupt the cleaning process by temporarily closing the switch and letting the object drop back to the gravel bed. Then, reopen the switch and continue cleaning.
9. When water in the gravel tube turns clear, turn the switch to the CLOSED position and move the gravel tube to a different area of the tank. Repeat steps 8 and 9 until you have removed the desired amount of water. Important: Extremely dirty tanks may require multiple cleanings. If your tank is extremely dirty, DO NOT clean it all at once. And DO NOT remove more than 1/3 of the existing water. If you need to repeat the cleaning procedure, wait at least a week before performing another water change.

To fill your aquarium:

1. With the gravel tube removed from the aquarium, make sure the switch is turned to the CLOSED position.
2. Return to the sink and adjust the water temperature flowing from the faucet pump to match that of your aquarium. We recommend using a small aquarium thermometer for complete accuracy.
3. Push the bottom of the pump up gently and twist 1/4 turn to the right to the FILL position noted on the pump.
4. Return to your tank, hold the gravel tube over the tank, and slowly turn the switch to the OPEN position. DO NOT LEAVE THE SWITCH IN THE "CLOSED" POSITION ANY LONGER THAN THE TIME IT TAKES YOU TO GET FROM YOUR SINK TO YOUR AQUARIUM.
5. Refill your aquarium. Please note: During the refilling process, the water is being aerated, eliminating some of the chlorine. If you choose to add water conditioners, you may add them into the stream of water as you are refilling the tank.
6. When the aquarium is filled, turn the switch to the CLOSED position and remove the gravel tube from your tank.

This is perfect! I love the python, I'll never use anything else! EASY and makes cleaning a breeze!

No spill is right! Completely easy to set up and use. I used it both to fill and empty out a large tank. I recommend the product.

Amazing product. Works just like you'd hope and does it amazingly quickly. Well worth the price. I couldn't buy the porter with it but I will definately get that in the future. The worst part about this is draining the water from the tubing when you're done and that wasn't a giant hassle really. I would highly recommend this to anyone not interested in hauling water all over the place.

We have 3 large fish tanks, and just bought the Clean N Fill. I can't say enough good about it. It makes cleaning your tank so easy, and with no mess. REALLY great product!

By far, this is one of the best inventions ever!! It is so easy to use, quick, and convenient. I have no idea why I waited so long to get this. No more buckets!

This is absolutely the greatest invention for aquariums EVER!!! I only wish I hadn't waited so long to get one!

Oh my goodness, I should have gotten this on day one. No more lugging around the 5 gallon bucket back and forth between the tank and sink. It's so easy to use. It also saves me so much time and it keeps the place clean. I changed my 16 gallon tank in about 15 minutes. Be careful where you buy this. I found out that Dr. Foster and Smith's has a brass female/male connector. If you were to get it else where, sometimes you could be getting a "plastic" one. I found that out from the Customer Service Rep from the company that made this item.

I have been working with fish for 20 years and the Python is the best thing to hit the streets. Simple to use; just hook it up to your faucet and off you go. I can fill my 55-gallon tank in less than 20 minutes using this and it cleans the bottom of my tanks with the greatest of ease. I STRONGLY recommend this to ALL aquarists!

The Python is GREAT! No more spilling water and NO MORE BUCKETS! And most important, it saved my back!.

Incredibly useful tool - this makes water changes and tank fills a breeze. It's inexpensive and extremely easy to use. I recommend it for anyone that has to do water changes. Well worth the money!

This is a very useful and practical tool. If you have a tank that is 10 gallons or more, you should save yourself the time and mess by investing in a Python No Spill Clean 'N Fill. I can't begin to tell you how much easier it makes cleaning your aquarium.

I love this product, makes cleaning a breeze. I don't know why I went so long w/out it!

If the Python had never been invented, I would sell my 75 gallon aquarium, which I dearly love, in a heartbeat. Need I say more?

Amazing! Even after reading the testimonials, I was a bit skeptical about this product. Could it really be so easy? Yes!! It took no effort at all to complete 25% water changes for both my 35 and 65 gallon tanks. No fuss and no mess. Would recommend this to anyone who has a fish tank over 10 gallons.

I have had mine for more than 10 years. I use this to clean four tanks. I have two at home and two at work that I maintain. LOVE the Python.

WOW!! This thing is amazing! We would never be able to live without the Python!! It makes water changes an absolute breeze!! It takes no time at all for us to do a great cleaning & partial water change thanks to this terrific invention! Highly recommend to ANY aquarium owner! We actually bought another one to fill & empty our toddler's pool (didn't want to use a "fishy" one...eww...) LOL. It lets us fill with nice warm water from our sink (put hose through out kitchen window) and then we can suck the water back down our drain, so we don't flood our flower beds! Awesome gadget!

I have a 20 gallon tropical and a 75 gallon goldfish tank and boy are they messy! I had to change about 25 gallons of water a week just to keep the water semi-clean. It used to be an hour of buckets, siphons, soaked clothing, dirty floors, not anymore. Enter Python, for water change in under twenty minutes, no spill indeed. Buy this, you will not regret it.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. It is so better than having to prime the hose on other products. It drains the aquarium so fast. It only takes me 5 min. to empty my 30 gallon tank.

Makes cleaning fun...at least for me it does. Everyone tried to talk me out of starting a turtle tank because of how disgustingly dirty things get, and the frequent backbreaking water changes necessary. The truth is, with this product, and other key items, this turtle tank project has been addicting! The Python makes things quick, clean and enjoyable. Now whenever any of my friends pull out this contraption, they're very, very impressed. Seriously, ESPECIALLY for big tanks, this is a must, must, must have!

Phil

What a great product. I had been holding off buying this because I thought it was expensive. I was wrong. This is worth every penny, no more heavy 5 gallon bucks, no more water spills on our hard wood floors. It makes weekly water changes a breeze and the tanks look better.

Keri H

This thing changed my world. I own an Oscar and they are beyond messy. Before I was huffing around buckets and mopping the floor after each water change; it would take around 45 minutes to clean and change the water, now I can get it down in 20. I love this product.

Really, how could you possibly maintain a large aquarium without this thing? It's not really a good product so much as a necessity.
