I am looking for one of these... or similar. It is the water changer that you hook up to your sink faucet and turn the water on to siphon.

This is the JL product. There are some others out there.

Do you need just the part that connects to the sink or the whole kit?

Somebody has to have one, I've got three! Originally they were sold with waterbeds, then Python started using them for water changes.

Haven't used them in years. I'll often buy the water change kits used for the softer hoses, and I get these things lying around. If you were local, you could just have one.

I know walmart use to sell just the sink adapters for waterbeds for like $5, not sure if they still do or not.

Geez. You can find them super cheap now that I know its a water bed adapter.

On Amazon I can get the Python adapter for $8.99. And cheaper.


Thanks for the leads. Hard to justify paying for one retail now that I know how cheap they SHOULD be!!!

most hardware stores sell them in the plumbing section. Ask for a dishwasher quick connector
