I was disappointed By Jeff on 5/2/13
Jeff wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI bought the 50' version of this, and was really optimistic. I have a pretty big tank (240 gallons), and was looking forward to avoiding buckets for the huge water changes. However, I found it less than ideal.
1) It seems really wasteful to flush the fresh water down the drain continuously in order to pull some saltwater out of the tank.
2) The connector that is used to hook it up to the faucet is really flimsy and is undoubtedly going to fail me in a few months.
3) Once you have emptied the tank of the water, the 50' of tube is full of waste water and is relatively difficult to empty.
I would not buy this again. I think I'm going to adopt a cart-based approach that uses a pump instead. -
Make sure your drain isn't too slow By Travis on 4/1/13
Travis would recommend this product to a friendThis product ended up being a wasted purchase. Nothing was wrong with the item, per se, but my bathroom sink drain is notoriously slow. All the snaking in the world won't make it run faster. This item has the best suction when water is turned all the way on, which continues to overflow the sink. Keep sink location in mind or get the longer hose to open up some drain options. -
SWMBO likes it By Jeremy on 2/20/13
Jeremy would recommend this product to a friendThis makes doing a water change so much easier by not having to carry buckets of water across the carpet. I took one star off because of the quality of a couple of the fittings that are used on the system. I still recommend that every one should have one of they just to make this part of life a little more simple. -
Best investment By Terrance on 12/26/12
Terrance would recommend this product to a friendThis is very easy to use. I just hate how fragile the plastic faucet connector is. Be very careful handling it and try not to put excessive pressure on it. I had to superglue some leaks for the connector...
I still love this product. I now watch TV while doing weekly water changes. -
Slow By Bill on 11/1/12
Bill would recommend this product to a friendSeemed to be a bit slowing than doing it manually. I hope its just a loose fitting but I couldn't find anything leaking. -

freshwater By Jason on 2/25/12
Jason would recommend this product to a friendthis thing works good in takin water out and cleaning the gravel but for retruning the water its is useless if u use a ro filter for your tank water. DO NOT USE TAP WATER. -

Can this be used with a sand bed
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Martin,
It can be, the wider end on the bottom helps to disperse the force so sand mostly stays in the tank rather then getting sucked down the tube. It also includes a valve that can be adjusted to change the level of flow so you can tune it to reduce the flow if you are getting to much sand.
Aqueon's water changer is an excellent all-in-one device.
Features:
- Durable plastic gravel vacuum with an attachable hose
- Easy faucet connector kit attaches your vacuum and water changer directly to your home faucet.
- Simple flow valve allows you to switch quickly from a gravel vacuum to a water changer.
- Special splash control helps reduce dirty water splashing in the sink.
- 50 ft hose or 25 ft hose
To vacuum:
- Attach water flow assembly to faucet using faucet adapter.
- Submerge gravel tube in aquarium water.
- Open water flow assembly valve and close gravel tube valve.
- Turn on faucet. Open gravel tube valve to begin vacuuming.
- To fill: Close water flow assembly valve and open gravel tube valve.
Connecting water flow assembly and gravel tube to hose:
- Unscrew and remove compression nut.
- Slide compression nut over end of flexible tubing.
- Push flexible tubing over hose barb where compression nut was removed.
- Slide compression nut back down flexible tubing and turn to tighten onto threads behind hose barb.
- Ensure that compression nut is securely holding flexible tubing in place.
