Problem with Python fill shut-off
Having problems using the Python when filling my tanks. Draining
works slick. The fill problem is using the shut-off while I walk to the tank. Last time I tried it burst some kind of fitting at the sink and sprayed water all over the kitchen (luckly the wife was out at the time). Anyone else use the shut-off valve when filling? Any tips? Bob |

Problem with Python fill shut-off
I don't use the shut-off at all for that reason - I fill the last
gallon or so by hand. How do you dechlorinate your water while filling? I add a bunch of chlorine remover to the tank before starting the refill and let it run in slowly - but I wonder how much of a chlorine dose my fish get. |

Problem with Python fill shut-off
Hi Bob:
I don't close the valve at the tank. When I have drained enough water I go to the sink and close the drain valve at the sink so that the water reverses direction. I found that the pressure buildup with the tank valve shut off does cause problems at the sink end and I was concerned that I would have your experience. Robin P. "Bob Alston" wrote in message om...

Problem with Python fill shut-off
Initially do not have the pressure turned all of the way up. Make
sure the fitting in the faucet as well as the one attached to the python it on correctly. I prefer to use the copper fitting inside the faucet, Marcus Http://www.Aquatic-Store.com On 16 Nov 2002 15:18:01 -0800, (Bob Alston) wrote: Having problems using the Python when filling my tanks.
