Review on πŸ’¦ Efficient Waterbed Fill & Drain Kit with 4 fl oz Conditioner for Blue Magic Beds by Mary Scott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad; could be better

I actually use it for water changes in a 100 gallon tank more than 50 feet from each sink. It works as it should - the directional control valve controls draining or filling easily. Actually, everything about this device is good except for the plastic it is made of. My first lasted less than a year before I had to replace it. The problem is that it's pretty light plastic. If you don't screw it onto the faucet tight enough, you'll end up with little drops of water running all over the place. However, if you tighten *too*, the plastic will be stressed enough and it will start to tear, and at that point it can't hold either suction or pressure. It's difficult at best to find the exact amount to tighten to the faucet. If the material was a little stronger I wouldn't be afraid to tighten it to avoid leaks. When replacing, I was careful not to overtighten and was only concerned with a little drop in performance and leaks. If it was a stronger material that could withstand being fully tightened after use, it would be 5 stars. It works well to do exactly what it was designed to do - it just needs to be more durable.

Pros
  • Not just useful for intended purpose
Cons
  • I'm concerned
