I have been promising to do a Thread on the Tap Attachment Hubby made me, that has made doing Water Changes so much easier.
So here goes.
Attachment that goes onto the Kitchen Tap.
Parts used were, Piece of Garden Hose as long as you need it to be, an end of a Silicone Tube that hasnt been used of course, a Hose Clamp, and the part that unscrews off the Kitchen Tap, I think it's called a Perforator.
Place the Hose Clamp and the Perforater (misus the metal gauze piece) onto the Hose, shorten the Silicone Nozzle so it makes the opening bigger for better Water Flow, obviously the bigger the opening the Better the Flow, place the Hose onto the Silicone Nozzle push it on as far as it will go, then move the Perforater part upto the top of the Silicone Nozzle, then bring up the Hose Clamp tighten the Clamp as much as you can without breaking the Nozzle inside the Hose.
Now you should be able to remove the perforater off your Kitchen Tap, if it has one, then screw on the Perforator that is attached to the Hose onto your Tap and away you go, too much pressure from the tap may blow the hose of the nozzle so just go easy until you know how much pressure it can stand.
This is the part that I put into the Tank when refilling.
Take a piece of hollow Aluminium Tubing (we have a heap of this, its what we make our TV Aerial Elements out of for Supreme Antennas Aerials ), (If anybody is needing some I'm sure I can sort you out with some), Insert the piece ofTubing inside the other end of the Hose attachment you have just made, sometimes it makes it a little easier if you pop the end of the Hose in Hot Water to soften it, place a Hose Clamp onto the Hose, make a bend in the hose so it sits nicely over the top of your Tank when Filling it, then tighten the Hose Clamp.
No more having to carry Buckets and Buckets of water to refill your Tanks
This has been great for doing water changes, especially in my Discus Tank as I use pre heated water for their Water Changes, so this is easily adjusted with the Tap Temp.
Hope this has been useful to you Fishys Guys and Girls
Don't hesitate to ask any question
