Siphon Pump Syphon
Why is my siphon to clean out my goldfish tank not working very well?
I have a syphon by Biorbe for my fish tank which has a pump that you squeeze to get it going. It doesn’t have very good instructions on it so i use it by putting the nozzle to the gravel and a bucket lower than the level of the tank, and squeezing the pump to get the water to come up.
However, i find it really hard to get any water up the pipe and when i do, harly any of the poo and debris seems to come with it even though i can see it floating in the first section of the nozzle. Where am i going wrong?
Thanks
If this is a “properly” designed tank siphon, the pump should only be needed to get the siphon started. Once the siphon tube is primed, gravity and the siphon do the rest.
The greater the flow rate, the higher the suction. This means the larger the discharge side and the lower the end of the tubing on the discharge side, the faster the water will siphon and therefore the better suction you should get.
