Looking for a faucet that will work with the python system, which I believe uses a standard hose barb adapter.

My other half is in full support of switching out the faucet on the utility sink, however her request is that it has a sprayer option. Herein lies my problem, I can not find any faucet with a pull out/down sprayer that I am able to also screw the python to.

Please, any of you DIY experts help me out here

TIA

The python also comes with an adaptor that you can remove the faucet tip and it should fit the faucet then the python fits the adaptor.

I don’t know if a specific faucet that has a sprayer, but if it has a standard tip that’s removable it should fit.

I can snap a photo of my adaptor when I get near it if that helps.

good luck.

I don't use the faucet anymore for the Python. I just clamp the end in order to secure it to the sink. It seemed to take way longer to get it going and a waste of water by running the faucet. Just my opinion. Gravity is still the main driver of the siphon. I just run it to the basement sink since I use the 75ft Python. That'll also make it easier to rid all the bad water from the tube when you retract it.

Can you still get the faucets that have the separate faucet and sprayer? I was considering one for my deep sink.

I got this as a package. A hose screws on the end and it will flex and spray.

That thing coming out the side I made to hook up my RODI. Ignore that.
This looks like what I need! Can you tell me the brand/model or link to it?

Tank and sink are in the basement, and about 60 feet apart. Unfortunately I have no options other than the python, or lots of buckets which I am not doing.
