Does anyone know how to make one of these using pvc or plumbing pipe, I'm tired of replacing this part as they crack and become useless.
Do you mean the part that screws into the faucet and then into the main part of the water changes??Does anyone know how to make one of these using pvc or plumbing pipe, I'm tired of replacing this part as they crack and become useless.
You're welcome
When using this, do you need to keep the faucet running to maintain the siphon?
Actually, it's hydrostatic pressure that keeps the water flowing (I'm an engineer)
The reason I asked was that I could see the ball valve allowing air to enter into the siphon (from the faucet/plumbing connections, etc), potentially breaking it, and keeping the water running from the faucet would prevent this.
go to the hardware store and get one for draining a water bed its much cheeper
