  • The venturi in a python-type water changer

    Check out how small the venturi is compared to a 5/8" hose adapter. No wonder water changes takes so long

      If you do, you can wave goodbye to the vacuum function of the python.

            I just use the valve to start the syphon, then I disconnect the hose and either route the hose to the garden or drain in the bathtub.

            What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

              The point is why are you using a Python to do water changes.

                No guys, I started this thread to show how small the venturi is in the water changer. Pure and simple.

                For all those who seem to care how I do my water changes, thank you, but I have that under control.

                  I would leave it alone. The pressure is would makes it suck faster. I use the 1262 to drain my stream tank lol fast.

                    Why not? I use my python to do water changes all the time. Drains in 15min and then I refill with carbon bottle

                        Not only that, when filling up the tank, the water exciting the venturi has to turn 180° and then 90° to get into the hose. Talk about head loss.
