Just a friendly word of caution (reminder) if you happen to use the python siphon. Make sure all parties involved understand the direction the sink adaptor should be. Pull it down and it siphons, push it up and it puts water back in the tank.

I had it all hooked up and had my wife turn on and monitor the sink while siphoning. She thought it was supposed to go up when I already had it down. Turned the water on and freaked me out!

Thankfully, it's a very long hose and no water got into the tank but it was a panic moment for sure!

That's all, have a good day!
