Siphoning is the process of transferring a fluid from one container to another using gravity. It is a simple and effective way to move water without using a pump or other mechanical device. To siphon water with a hose, you will need the following materials:
- A length of clear plastic hose that is long enough to reach from the source container to the destination container
- A bucket or other container to hold the source water
- A bucket or other container to hold the destination water
To start siphoning, submerge one end of the hose in the source container. Make sure that the end of the hose is below the surface of the water. Next, suck on the other end of the hose until water starts flowing. Once the water is flowing, you can lower the end of the hose into the destination container. The water will continue to flow until the source container is empty or the end of the hose is no longer submerged in the source water.
