Siphoning water with a hose is a great idea to transfer small to large amounts of water from one point to another. It is a method that works effectively for both in-ground and above-ground pools. Through the aid of gravity and pressure, you can empty a bucket, a tank, and even a pool.
How do you set up a siphon?
To siphon water, start by submerging one end of a hose or tube in the water you want to siphon out. Then, put the other end in your mouth and gently suck in.

How does a self starting siphon work?
When the Siphon Tube is submerged into a beaker of water, water flows into the submerged end because of a pressure difference due to the surrounding water. The water attempts to reach an equilibrium level by flowing through the looping tube to get to the same height as the surface of the water in the beaker.
How do you pump water out?
