josh world Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 My house has two sinks and both canāt connect to a python system. I have a python and canāt use it. I also have this BRUTE trash can on wheels with this water pump with a 30 foot hose I use for water changesĀ . Any suggestions on an adapter or ideas or other ideas.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I'd replace the kitchen faucet with one you can attach to. Lose the soap dispenser and add a spray nozzle there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.W. Wetarm Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Take the chrome spigot off the bathtub spout. There shouldĀ Ā be a iron pipe nipple that you can work with. Might take a trip to the hardware store.Ā Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Tbh I have the same kinda sink so I just use my hose.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medkow74 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 My faucet is similar but not exact. It should have come with a tool to remove the aerator in your faucet. The aerator would be the larger of the two circles. Once that's removed you may be able to find an adapter to get to the Python. I had to use two different adapters.

ChemBob Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Check the pull down faucet. Mine unscrews from the hose. I couldn't match the threads, but I found a slip on rubber adapter that attaches to the python that works. The adapter was made by Camco and is called the Water Bandit.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streetwise Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 @Daniel, what are the size and materialĀ specifications for the Python hook extension you added? That flexible tubing looks like a more pliable material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flexible tubing looks like a more pliable material. I buy the inexpensive undergravel filters at Petco just to harvest the uplift tubing and I marry that with a 3/4" ID flexible hose from the hardware store. It just barely fits. You have to put the flexible tubing in boiling water for a second to get it pliable enough to slip over the Python and the uplift tube. I like the charcoal cartridges on the uplift tubes as they act as very effective fish guards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandy Pearl Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Here is a post where someone else had the same problem. You might be able to get a few more ideas from it. Good luck with getting this worked out! Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh world Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 I never had a under gravel filter before. That might be aĀ good choice because I have air running to all my tanks. thank you guys for all the helpš Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
