I've hung short hoses outside for 2 days and they don't dry all the way

.

Thx for the tip Sharon.

Thanks for the offer Sandy

but I get enough water on the floor as it is when I do w.changes, even when just using the turkey baster & jugs of water, so I can imagine the mess I would make if I used one of those.

When finished I hang mine over a towel rack or the washcloth rack in the shower. If it starts getting mildew, I drop a weighted line through the hose and tie the other end to a suitable brush. Pull it through one time and your done!

Due to stroke I can't lift a bucket and then try to walk with it. For me, a python type item is the only way to go.

When all else fails, I use a powerhead with a gravel vac attached to the input to drain/clean/vacuum and then the python to refill
