Kypros: Take a fitting with you and play until it fits. From experience: The thin wall stuff collapses under suction. To join two hoses, the plastic connectors can slip off (use hose clamp) or act as a blockage. The python 'shutoff' causes problems Once, I was building a thermostated valve thingie to mix warm water under the sink and feed to a supply hose (the old python) with a bigger diameter drain (to be pumped to water barrel). I think I have the parts finally, but never set it up :( My current set up uses a Mag pump w/ garden hose to pull water out. Use a Pondmaster 2800 for nascar style water changes. -Paul On Thu, 17 Sep 2009, Hostetter, Kypros wrote: > Hi I want to extend the size of my Python clean and fill.
