help - faucet adaptor for filling pool

[S.Elise]

Hi, I am at a loss as to what one of these would look like, especially with my faucets. Can anyone describe or send a link to what I am looking for so I don't seem like a total dult at the hardware store?

We have purchased ours, but not tried it yet on the shower end. It does fit the hose though. We bought ours at Menards. I didn't know what it would look like ahead of time. But it has two different ends, gold in color. One end screws onto the hose and the other end screws onto the pipe coming out of the wall that your shower head is screwed onto to. Make sense? I explained to the person at the store that I wanted to hook a hose up to my shower and he took me directly to the aisle and handed me the item. Cost less than 3 dollars. Hope that helps.

There's a water birth equipment post in this forum somewhere (you might try searching) that has pics of the adaptors.

Thanks everyone, this was helpful. I ended up having to go to a plumbing supply store to get one that worked with my shower, but I now have it!

I am considering getting an adapter that works with my shower, as well. The one that came with the kit I got only works with my bathroom faucet, and when I did a trial run and drained it this morning, it took at least 1.5 hours to drain, since I had to do it so slowly due to how slowly my sink drains. It's really not that big a deal, but it would be nice if I could do it faster in the shower.

How well does using the Python pump attachment work when attached to your showerhead pipe? Does gravity affect function/suction?
