Hello again,
I've just had a very wet and frustrating battle, trying to get my diy python to work. All it is is a water safe hose with a shut off valve on one end, attached to the bathroom faucet via a python pump and adaptor. It works great to fill the tank, but I can't get any suction going to empty the tank. Even with both taps open full blast, it was so slow it would have taken me several hours to drain a couple gallons of water, and the amount of water thats going through the tap is ridiculous. My water bill would be through the roof! It just won't generate enough suction to pull water up the hose and over the lip of the tank. I finally gave up in disgust, dug out an old grave cleaning tube, and drained the tank in 5 minutes. Am I doing something wrong, or should I just take the darn thing back? I'm so frustrated, I spent all that time building a diy pain-in-the-arse. I can't think of anything else to do to increase the suction.
Opinions?
Thanks
