Essentially what I do also, easy with a mixer tap.
..Noooo.... both green taps are shut during the whole water change process....the water drains and refills from the intake line side...........This got me confused, water from tap goes straight into the filter , yes i suppose its possible a small amount of dechlorinator might also be passing through but i would expect the concentration of chlorine to be much higher when it hits the filter directly rather than going into the tank first.
A good effort, but not enough thought, certainly not something i would do. I'll stick to the hose for both draining and filling.
Water from the tap goes no where into the filter mate........ti drains before the filter and adds back before the filter.....
I dont followexplain further!
Ah! You turn the green tap on the filter pipe and force it to go out of the spraybar/outlet? Now that i understand.
Beauty of this is that you dont even have to open the top if you got a lid....no spills either...( not that I am saying you spill water )

ah yeah course, understand now.
nice idea, shame my mixer tap wont accept any of the hoselock connectors as its such a lame shape. cant be bothered to change the tap.
Hozelock do different types of adaptors mate......check them out.....Noooo.... both green taps are shut during the whole water change process....the water drains and refills from the intake line side...........This got me confused, water from tap goes straight into the filter , yes i suppose its possible a small amount of dechlorinator might also be passing through but i would expect the concentration of chlorine to be much higher when it hits the filter directly rather than going into the tank first.

I think its a great idea, think some people have been sniffing to much prime the tap water should not go any where bacteria/sponges you have 2 taps which you shut off and for extra protection you could just shut off the bigger one that a key which joins to the canister but would not be needed

na it has a rounded top so the screw on attachements wont screw down on it without slipping off and there is no thread to fit one like you have onto it :\ bleh.
