I depend on my python, I do about 100 gallons of water changing every week. It works well and it's easy. Suction all depends on water pressure of course.

I've got one and love it. I've got a 25ft that I use with my 55 gal. As far as draining, I use the faucet to start the syphon but then I actually disconnect the hose from the sink and drain the water into my flower beds in front of my house. I don't see any point in constantly running the water while I am draining when a syphon will work just as well. I can see the benefit to using this feature if I was having to drain to a higher location than the tank where a regular syphon wouldn't work.

For filling it is great. I leave the hose disconnected while I get the water temp correct. Then reconnect the hose and fill. You can just add your dechlorinator directly to the tank when you start filling. The chemical works instantly as it comes in contact with water containing chlorine.

Hope yours works out as well for you as mine has for me.

I also own a 25ft python, it is great, being new to the hobby. I dont think I would be as interested if I had to use buckets......
