Aqueon water changer problem

[Fishguy1111]

so, the faucet i want to use has a completely different output. The threading of my sink is on the outside, and so is the water changer head. Im getting really fustrated, cause the adapter they sell is the same way. Ill post a pic soon.

Did you try unscrewing the very top piece of the adapter and seeing if that fits your faucet?

You're gonna need an adapter like this

Amazon.com : Python Universal Adapter for Aquarium : Faucet Adapter : Pet Supplies

That's how mine works. Those are three separate pieces for 3 different thread fittings/setups.

If you bring the main head unit to your local hardware store, you should be able to get one to fit. It may require a few trips to get the correct size to fit the faucet......

Don't get to discouraged. I finally sprang for the python wc hookup only to find I needed a special adapter too.. after already buying the hose to sink hook up.. feeling pretty sad about all the $$ spent on plastic. Than I think about dry buckets for the rest of my days and I don't feel so bad..

The WC is a lifesaver! I did buckets for my 90 for 2 changes and got the aqueon changer. I couldn't get it to fit so I go to ace hardware and told the guy "I need this to fit in this..." He looked at me all confused for a minute and screwed in the adapter it came with. Needless to say I that was a very embarrassing moment lol! Anyway, I sent my husband a couple weeks ago to replace the adapter with a metal one because the threads on plastic were very worn. Try to splurge for that. Think it was like $6 (at ace). He said it was a hose adapter... Good luck and like brookster said, don't get discouraged. The trouble will be worth it!

Judging from staring at your photo for a while, it should fit without any other adapters. That comes apart in three pieces. In my pic, the top (with white tie) is a double male. It's not gonna work. The center piece is a female fine thread to male NPT thread. The third is a female NPT (garden hose) connection that goes into the Venturi.

I finally found a gasket thingy to adapt to it. 10 bucks for a little piece of silicon and brass...
