It does matter to an extent. If your using the faucet pump that uses water pressure to create the siphon, then it doesn't matter. If your just using the natural height to pull the siphon, then it has an effect on it. It will still pull a siphon, but it just won't be as strong. I tried that once and noticed the lesser amount of suction. I ran the house outside to my yard and the approx. 5-6' height difference made a dramatic effect on the amount of suction.

Don't read this and thing it won't work by going into your sink though. It will pull a siphon and you will be able to clean your tank. You just won't be able to move very quickly and will take you a couple minutes longer to clean. Also, you won't have to regulate your hose as you won't be pulling to much water out at one time.

Hi,

does that mean the python has 2 hose - 1 to drain water out and 1 to fill water in?

thanks.
