NP Dave. The Python is used by a large population of FW members on this site with no ill effects as long as the temp of the water being added is the same.
AND, you probably already know this but it bears mentioning, you add enough conditioner to treat the entire tank volume not just the amount you actually change.NP Dave.

What kind of fish do you have?To ensure all tap water is treated you treat for the entire tank volume, not just the amount replaced. I use a baby medicine syring and shoot it into the tank into the stream of the Python.
I adjust the temp of the water by using hot and cold. When we flush a toilet, run the shower, or even use the washing machine we don't have any issues with the water changing temps. Besides, I avoid using those things while changing water. When using the Python it only takes about 20 minutes to fill the tanks. That's not too long to wait. A temporary change in temp is not going to cook your fish unless you have the hot on full blast and fill the entire tank.
It's been about 2 years since I've lost a fish. And those fry died from using old food.
FishyAfrican Cichlids in the 150, African fry in the 29 (plus a candy stripe pleco), and in the 55 I have Angels, German Blue Rams, Hi-Fin Serpae Tetras, True Rummies, Boesemani Rainbows, and a tetra that the name is escaping me at the moment. I really need to update my pictures, it's been several years since I've taken new pics.
Nice shots of your tank!

I go by feel myself.Can I jump in and ask how you adjust the temperature of the water to be around the same? Do you go by feel, or do you test it with a thermometer? (I can't wait to get my python!)
