skynoch Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 My pythons valve cracked so I need a replacement. Anyone know where to pick one up in Edmonton? And if possible do they make a Brass one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachromis1 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Never seen a brass one, but I picked up a waterbed attachment at home Depot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruadh Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You can also get a replacement head at Big Als. They're behind the counter by the freezer.

Shai Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You have the option not to use one at all. I have a DIY python and at first I used a waterbed fill kit but hated how it wasted so much water in the sink. Instead I bought some hose fittings from Rona (cost a buck or two) and stuck those on the end of the hose so I can attach it directly to the tap to refill. To drain the tank I leave the end of the hose in the sink (or on the lawn) and use a powerhead in the tank to start the siphon. Once the water gets going the pump can be shut off.

skynoch Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks for all the help guys. I picked one up at big als since I didn't see any at the home depot or wall mart I went to. I need to use the pyton for draining and bottom cleaning in my basement tanks for suction since my sink is higher than my pond bottom.
