Aqueon/Python watsr changer

[Jconner3]

At my old place I used the aqueon water changer no problem, but here at my new house my sink didn't have the right threads or something and I ended up giving it away. Well, fast forward three months later and I'm once again tired of using buckets so I'm hoping to buy another water changer if I can find some sort of adapter to make it work. Any idea what exactly I need?

There's a plastic adapter that came with my Aqueon that I needed to use to hook it up to a sink. If your sink has a non-standard size, then you might need to get an adapter at HD.

you have a male threaded connector there. If the water changer also has a male threaded connection, you will need to get an adapter that is female threaded on both sides, of the appropriate size.

If the water changer has a female threaded connection, you will need an adapter with a female threaded (for the faucet side) and male threaded (if the size is different than what's on your faucet).

Same here.





It comes with this. It works fine.

Good to know. I vaguely remember mine not having a piece that fit, although I wouldn't be surprised if It had just been misplaced. Do both aqueon and python water changers have the same size adapters?

I can't speak for the Python. I use the Aqueon.

You can buy a higher quality brass adapter that should work from python.

The brass one from Python will fit the Aqueon. I used to have a Python, got out of the "fish business" and gave it away, but kept the brass piece. Got back "into fish" and got an Aqueon water changer. Brass piece fits perfectly.

You need a sink to garden hose adapter like this.

They usually have both male and female threads, so no matter what your faucet is like, it will work. You can get the brass version too and it should be cheaper.
