Venturi Mixer Hot Tub Water Tube Pump Drain Aquarium like a Python No Spill WTA

The picture you can see is for the pump with all adaptors and hose - this is the most expensive variation - please select the variation you need. The first variation for £8.35 is for the pump alone with no adaptors.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT LISTINGS WITH DIFFERENT TAP ADAPTORS - THE CONNECTION TO TAPS IS THE WORST ASPECT OF THIS SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT LISTING.

This is a simple Venturi pipe. It is commonly used to drain or fill aquarium and other household items.

The item has a 3/4 inch female thread at the top and a 3/4 inch male thread at the side. The base of the pump is a simple on or off twist attachment. Twist one way to fill - twist the other way to drain. If required the base can be simply removed.

When draining an aquarium this needs to be attached to a tap with flowing water. The water falls into the sink or a drain. This causes suction at the side pipe. A hose can be connected to the side pipe and use to drain liquids from a fish tank or similar. This is especially useful when no height difference is available to otherwise siphon the water. This can be easily used to create the suction need for gravel cleaners.

The price of this item includes 10% ebay fees, about 4% paypal fees, £2.60 postage,  packaging, the original purchase price and a tiny profit. The variation with the hose weighs about 2.5KG and costs £6.20 + to post with a courier which is included in the price.

This is a handy little tool to have. It is very useful for a wide number of water filling draining and aerating applications. On the downside it is a bit fiddly getting it attached to a tap. It normally fits a garden style and size tap but otherwise uses standard garden type hoses and attachments.

The worst thing about this little pump - as lots of customers have told me - is connecting this to taps. Basically this can be done with simple everyday garden hose technology. With a little help from a garden centre everybody can do it.

To make things easier we have listed this in 4 variations, postage is free with all 4. Version 1 to 3 are with Royal Mail. Version 4 is with a cheaper courier because of the weight.

1. Simple Pipe with no adaptors as shown in the picture.

2. With a white plastic tap adaptor. This is designed to work with mixer taps. This is the standard python fitting. The aerator needs to be unscrewed from your mixer tap and this screwed in. The pump will then screw onto this adaptor from underneath.  - this will normally fit but cannot be guaranteed as there are many different types out there. . It will fit almost all modern normal mixer taps. Please look at your mixer tap before you buy this If you want to fit this you need to have space below the tap for the adaptor and pump.

3. With a set of 3 adaptors. a) the tap adaptor above b) a hose coupling to attach to your half inch garden hose c) a female adaptor for the side arm which will also click into the hose coupling.

4. With the set of 3 adaptors and a 15m roll of half-inch reinforced garden hose. This should be enough for your aquarium needs. The roll of hose weighs just under 2.3 kg and this is expensive to post - this is the main reason for the main jump in price.

Options one to 3 will be sent second class post. Option 4 will be sent with one of the cheaper couriers.

If anyone needs a different combination of adaptors please ask - I have a few :-)

We sell variations of this popular draining device with different tap adaptors please look at the others to select the one you need.

This item can be tricky to fit. You might crossthread it. You might have some leaks. If you persevere and are careful then you will be very pleased with this item. This is a branded item for filling and draining for many different applications sold in hundreds of thousands through the wprld. Please look at one of the hundreds of videos of this on youtube. 

If in doubt please do not buy this. Please inform yourself before buying. One in ten customers cannot get on with this item.

Please note that this is simple garden hose technology. It will screw directly onto a standard outside garden  tap in the UK. Inside a house it is trickier because all tap connections are different. If you have ever connected a hose inside your house then you can connect this. If you have never done this then please inform yourself before buying. My aim is to have satisfied customers who are pleased with the products. It has the same dimensions as any UK garden centre device that you can find.
