python cleaner + water changer

hello, i have a question about python water changer. The faucet adapter that came with python doesnt fit my faucet. I bought universal faucet adapter but i still cant make it work. it keeps coming off.
i see that my faucet is threaded inside and there is a net. but inside of my faucet is narrower than adapter... does anyone have any python adapter problem too?? how do i fix it?

I believe you can get a water bed adapter at lowes that will fit. You may have to unscrew the end off of your faucet to get it to fit.

Same problem I had... I tried the adapter but the faucet with the inside threads was too long and the universal didnt fit. I ended up finding that the phyton fit to my bathroom sink faucet tho, and that is where I use it. Have you tried other faucets and do you have a bathroom sink that is close enough for the hose to reach? My hose is the 50f long size, so I was able to do this and have it work out.
