The Safety Super Siphon hose does the dirty task for you. Just drop the pump end of the hose into the liquid you want to siphon and raise the hose up and down a few times to start the flow. The pump end contains a stainless steel spring and marble ball that creates a simple one way valve to let the liquid into the hose but not back out. Each time you lower the hose into the liquid a certain amount of the liquid is forced into the hose. When enough is in the hose, the siphon effect takes over and the liquid flow freely into your collection container with never a taste or touch to your mouth. This would be especially important to siphon liquids that are dangerous to even the slightest contact with your mouth. Hose is approx 6 feet.
