This is a simple well-made siphon that works. You stick the hose in the water, have the bulb at the other (lower) end of the hose, pumps 3-4 times and the water flows out. Then, if you want, you can take the bulb off, to make the water flow out faster. It will keep flowing without the bulb as long as that end is lower. The only trick is you have to make sure the arrow on the bulb is pointing the way you want the water to go. The arrow is not that easy to see, but it needs to point the right way. Apart from that, this works, and works well. Not the cheapest, but worth it.

Well made and easy to use. I needed something I could use for cleaning water out of my oil heating tank, this item made this job simple and can be used again if required.

Does the job quickly, easily & efficiently. I have two - one for diesel/petro and one for water. To transfer diesel from a 20 litre jerry can to vehicle fuel tank takes minutes - put one end into the jerry can, fit the large robust rubber bulb at other end, 4 of 5 squeezes of the bulb and the siphon starts to run quickly through the broad tube. You need to ensure the valves are the right way round at the two ends of the tube, but that's just common sense. Brilliant, and no risk of spIllage. Also invaluable for spill-free filling of lawn mowers, emptying large water butts eta. Excellent value for money.

The bulb fits a standard UK hose and is very efficient at starting the Syphon. I bought it to Syphon grey water from the bath into the garden in the summer and it seems to work well. I only needed the pump bulb though so the rest is superfluous and a waste, which is a concern for someone with concerns about environmental impact.

How refreshing a well made put together piece of kit for the right price, well it is American so wouldnt expect anything less

Excellent product. High quality parts. Works very well.

Its ok

Does not provide a continuous flow despite having the source higher than the jerry can. Siphon keeps breaking. Ensured the pump arrow are facing towards outlet, still no joy. It works as a pump but I kept having to prime.

tres bon produit et tres utile

I've several inexpensive siphons and this is the best I've found. The flow is easy to start using the bulb and the little brass valve that comes with it. If the source is higher than the destination, you just use the bulb to get the flow started (no sucking on hoses needed) and the liquid transfers unaided. You can speed it up by continuing to squeeze the bulb, but I'm satisfied to let physics do the work. I needed to drain the gas tank on a 900 lb. motorcycle with no petcock. It worked like a charm and the hoses are sturdy, easy to position and comes with clips and a guide spring to set up for a hands off transfer. No need for electrical pumps. The quality is very acceptable, well made. I have a dozen small engine tools and several fuel tanks. This makes my job a lot easier and the tool is fully self contained. Definitely worth the price.

LOOKS GOOD

I've only run water through this siphon/tube. ! month later, bulb sucks only half the time.

Summary: This is a fantastic, versatile siphon that works very well and provides great value for the money. It appears to be solidly constructed and looks like it will hold up well to many years of use. Review: I recently moved to a property that requires many more gas-powered tools than I have ever owned in the past, and filling some of these tools using funnels and the nozzles attached to normal red gas cans can be a real pain and invariably leads to spilling no matter how carefully I try to fill them. For example, attempting to fill my utility ATV with any combination of gas can and funnels just makes a big mess every time. I looked at a couple battery powered gas pumps, but they were either astronomically expensive for my purposes or poorly rated (mostly durability issues). Amazon linked this siphon from somewhere I was looking and I was intrigued by the design. I used it yesterday to fill all of my problem containers and it was a fantastic help. No more spills. WAY easier to deal with. I didn't have trouble finding a way to elevate the can above the fill port. I thought I would mostly use the bulb to fill things, but after experimentation, the "jiggler" cap is amazingly effective and produced a better flow, faster, than the bulb. I'm still learning how to use the siphon's features, but this thing is great and solidly built.
