By ~*Just Me *~
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2VEKN33VMZJWF This video review was made by my husband.
He purchased this on Amazon and is very easy to use and fast.
He made this video review because there is too a heap of persons who say they cannot get it to work, and it is just too simple!

Physics is your friend.
By Nikhil Ramkarran
This, at it is most basic, is a foot valve at the end of a hose. How it works:
1. The foot valve prevents liquid in the hose from flowing out that end.
2. Each time you push the end with the valve down into liquid, more liquid enters the hose but can not flow back out.
3. When sufficient liquid has entered the hose and the top of the liquid in the hose is under the valve (the end in the liquid) gravity takes over and your liquid will flow into the an empty container which is at a lower level than the full container.
The proper technique then is not to “shake” the end in the liquid but to push it down into the liquid so that each time it goes into the liquid, more enters the hose.
The foot valve does not form a perfective seal when you pull the end out of the liquid, so a little will flow back out. The key then is to push it down and pull it out reasonably rapidly.
Used correctly, this is a brilliant product which I have employed often over the past 2 years and which my mechanic had antecedently commended to me. And it is even for less now than when I purchased it. The instructions suck though.

It does work, with a little practice
By Loin Burger
I haven’t applied this yet in a “real” circumstance (i.e. siphoning gas from a neighbor’s car). But I did try siphoning water from my sink to my bathtub.
As others have noted, it was tricky to get this siphon to work peculiarly in shoal liquid. But after a little practice, abruptly it worked gorgeous well.
I found it worked best when I moved the hose genuinely straight in an up/down motion as opposed to just shaking it hopefully.
I think the good thing regarding this siphon is it is overall simplicity. It’s fundamentally a hose, making it finelooking lasting and likewise easy to clean.
The downside is that the ball bearing inside doesn’t create a great seal. Hence if you stop shaking the hose, the liquid will flow back into the source tank pretty quickly.
