Hyper Tough Manual Siphon Pump, 6 ft Hose, 36201WDI

This pump siphon works great once you get the hang of it. Make sure you read the included directions before using it. It pumps a little slow, but it gets the job done reliably. I use it to pump my wife's bath water for tasting, and it hasn't let me down yet. Overall, a solid product that does exactly what it's supposed to do!

This siphon pump is great for transferring liquids under the right circumstances. This pump will ONLY work if you are transferring a liquid to a lower location. The container where the liquid is originally placed must be above the container where the liquid will be moved to. This is because the action of this pump is mainly driven by gravity. So you cannot transfer a liquid to a location that is above the original container. The rubber bulb is only used to initiate the pump action. Gravity will then keep the liquid flowing until it runs out. The tubing is made of transparent plastic which allows you to see the liquid while it is transferring. This pump would be a good choice if you are transferring a volatile liquid such as gasoline. The reason being that this pump does not use electricity, which could be problematic and dangerous when transferring flammable liquids. I made a flow rate measurement and found that at a height difference of 18 inches, this pump produces a flow rate of 917mL/min (approx.), which is about 4 minutes per gallon. The larger the height difference, the faster the flow rate. To use this pump you must insert one end into the liquid to be transferred, and place your finger on the other end. You must make sure that the end that you entered into the liquid reaches the bottom of the container. Then, squeeze the bulb 2 or 3 times, to start the liquid flow. When done correctly, the liquid will now flow continuously, until it runs out, at around the rate of 4 minutes per gallon at 18 inches of elevation, and faster at higher elevation and slower at lower elevation. The back of the box has instructions on how to use and Warnings, in both English and Spanish. It is well written in box languages.

This review is for the product, "Hyper Tough" Siphon Pump. Let me first start off with, I Love this Siphon Pump!! It is very easy to use and works like a charm. It is a really well made item. You have 2 clear plastic tubes that both fit on each end of the black bulb. The short tube is 29 inches long and the long tube is 43 inches long. These clear tubes are very flexible and easy to use. You will be using the long clear tube to siphon with. I guided this long tube easily in to the container without any fuss. The black bulb is very flexible as well, and it fits in the palm of your hand really well and that makes for an easy task of squeezing. I gave this black bulb 2 to 3 squeezes and the liquid flowed through the tubes and the pump with ease. This is a great little item to have and I would highly recommend this product, as it works really well and is easy to use. A very well made product! All in all, it gets the job done easily! You won't go wrong buying this item!

I ordered two of them, one for gassing up the lawn mower and one for draining the oil. They are very handy and easy to use.

Use this to try to siphon gas out of a vehicle I purchased but decided to return. Nothing like giving $80 of free gas to a dealership. Didn't work for me, but I'm sure it's a good product for other needs.

The concept is good, but the squeeze bulb is very weak. I could not pump oil from my oil pan without manually working the bulb to it's full inflation. It needs a stronger bulb.

Didn't work at all. So disappointing.. It must have a pin hole in it somewhere but I couldn't locate it. Says return eligible until Thurs 12/10. Delivered 9/11, today's 10/17 not showing anywhere on here to request a refund!??

My car kicked the bucket right after I filled the tank. I bought this to try to recover some of the $100 I had just filled it with. The ball you squeeze doesn't work and the long hose was not long enough to get into the tank of my car. I have since tried to use it to remove old mower fuel that sat over winter. I managed to get that done but not without getting fuel all over the place. I had to put my finger on the end of the hose that was not under the old fuel to prime it. I was like okay but it wouldn't stay primed even with the open end below the mower gas tank. I recommend others buy from elsewhere.

Item arrived with both hoses pinched and apparently permanently reduced flow ability. Tried to siphon with it but was not successful. Other than those problems it actually appears to be fairly well-made, and looks like it would work. I was disappointed.

This may be the worst thing I have ever used to suction fluid out...fluid would go halfway and I couldn't even get it out
