The Original Safety Siphon 10 Foot High Grade Hose, 1/2" Valve Siphon - Self Priming Pump Transfers 3.5 Gallons of Liquid Per Minute - Great for Pools, Fish Tanks, Fuel, and More

I don't do a lot of reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised with how well this worked. I have a boat that had the gas left in the tank too long and it went bad. I bought a cheap siphon at a local auto parts store, and it was terrible. A friend of mine recommended one of these Original Safety Siphons, so I gave it a try. I got the 10' length to give me enough length to get the hose into the boat tank (which was on the trailer), and then I had the empty gas can that I was pumping it into on the ground, so the length was perfect. Primed it a few times and the gas was running smoothly into the can below. when you're ready to stop, just pull the end out from the tank and it stops immediately. Great product!

I use this to clean my 90 gallon fish tank. I have 2 large Oscar fish so I only have driftwood and very large rocks in there. They can move anything even heavy items if they don’t like where you put them unless I make them unmovable. It’s so easy with this to get right to the bottom and so powerful sucks all the shat out quickly. I have a window next to it so I just send it out the window. I had one before that was a wider hose and that one was difficult to get started. This is great!

When used to siphon out a hot tub (which had just had a lot of grandkid use and was somewhat murky) the siphon which started out with a good flow gradually slowed way down. It was because of hair and other debris that had been sucked up and caught in the ball-valve apparatus. A good method for cleaning is to take a small length of stiff copper wire (like ground wire from three wire cable) and bend a tight U at one end (about 1/8 diameter). Then insert this and move around and pull the junk out. Full flow returns!

I have used this a couple times both using the exact same setup. First time it transferred all but a quart or so. The second time I hand to keep working the hose in the container. It would not maintain a constant flow. I gave up with about a gallon remaining in the container. Checked for leaks, all appears good. Will continue to work with it. Hopefully it hets

I use a pool vac that uses a garden hose to create suction. Wile Im pumping approx 8 gallons into the pool per minute, I use this to syphon out approx 5 gallons a minute. It can sometimes take 10 or so pumps to get it going, but it does work perfectly. The tube is very thick. No complaints.

Cut off the copper and it works faster and better but I could of just bought the hose by itself for cheaper

The media could not be loaded. Working on my Lexus is350 2007 trying to take out the old gas in this car and replace with new. It did a wonderful job. Just make sure you jack up the car so gravity can take over.

I love this thing . It takes a couple shakes to get used to it . But man does it work !! I put my gas can on my truck and place the hose in the the filler cap on my motorcycle. Wah lah !!!
