Super Siphon Instructions:

  • Drain all liquid from the siphon before using.

  • Insert the output end of the siphon into the orifice into which you want to siphon the liquid. The siphon works off gravity. Thus, the output end of the siphon must be lower than the input end of siphon for the siphoning action to work.

  • Submerge the input end of the siphon (the brass end with the glass ball) into the liquid you wish to siphon.

  • Move the input end of the siphon vigorously in an up and down motion. It is important that the input end remain in liquid at all times to start the siphoning action. Once the flow starts, there is no need to pump the input end as gravity will maintain the flow of liquid.

  • Once siphoning begins, keep the input end of the siphon in the siphoned liquid.

  • To stop siphoning, simply remove the input end of the siphon from the liquid.

  • Store the Super Siphon in a cool, dry place.

  • The Super Siphon works with almost all liquids, including water, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, fertilizer, insecticides, thinners, paints, solvents, and lubricants to the thickness of 20 grade oil. All of the materials in the Super Siphon are antistatic, so the danger of sparks is minimized as much as practicable. However, when using the Super Siphon to transfer flammable liquids, exercise the same precautions you would normally handling gasoline or other flammable liquids. Do not smoke when siphoning flammable liquids. Avoid prolonged exposure to volatile vapors and keep volatile liquids away from eyes and skin. Never prime the siphon by mouth. Do not store the Super Siphon in such a manner that flammable fumes will be be contained and could explode. Do not use the Super Siphon for potable liquids if you have used the siphon for any other non-potable liquid. Failure to exercise reasonable precautions may result in injury, illness, or even death.
