Gastapper Plumber's Siphon Pro includes 8' (2.44 meters) all-purpose hose

I bought this to deal with a recurrent problem I've had with a fuel line air lock on my van. The tapered end of the pump inlet fits a range of hose diameters and the pump works efficiently. The materials are good quality and the pump worked perfectly on its 1st use, pulling air and fuel through approx 4 feet of fuel pipe plus the mechanical fuel pump.

Such a simple tool but makes life so much easier save getting mouthfuls of liquids trying to suck liquids out yourself, product is well made with plenty of hose for most eventualities . Ideal for draining one section of my pond filter that doesnt have a drain plug thoroughly recommend it

This is a very useful piece of kit and I'd recommend it to anyone who would rather avoid a mouthful of dirty water! As I do water changes on several fish tanks every week its quickly proven invaluable, especially when I want to start a siphon on a longer length of hose. By the way it will fit to a range of hose diameters - I use standard "garden hose" which is 1/2" or 12.5mm/13mm but it also works well on 15mm and probably many others.I've knocked one star off because I do think it could be better designed in terms of the metal end pieces - the outlet end has a barbed nozzle for 12.5mm hose while the input end is tiered to fit inside 10mm to 15mm sizes. Ideally this end would be larger and also barbed so it could be left in place on some equipment, for example any pump that is not self-priming. For my specific purposes having two identical 12.5mm barbed ends would be ideal, though obviously much less flexible from a plumbing perspective.

Good old fashioned quality build. Instructions include many references about how to preserve the item's longevity - not the modern attitude to helping you to ruin it and then buy another. Would recommend without hesitation.The Hose Manclip is excellent and a very handy device to help hold hoses in place. I am using it on a varity of 20 litre containers and it fits all of them which is very helpful.In addition I can say that your siphon pump is the bees knees and is perfect for the job I’m doing. We make around 500 litres of comfrey liquid fertiliser for our garden each year. It is very smelly stuff and getting it on my hands is a nightmare and demands some drastic cleaning if I’m to be allowed back in the house.To say that the pump works well is an understatement. Normally, using a plastic siphon and a jug I can take a day to decant 100 litres of the liquid into smaller containers from the vats where we brew the fertiliser. This last brew was decanted, bottled and stored in three hours, mostly because I could use 19mm hose which speeds up the process with a vengeance.At last a siphon pump that is built to last, is easy to use and looks like it might outlast me. Many thanks for the product, I’m really chuffed.

The pump works great, has nice confident action.The supplied hose is nice, but NOT petrol resistant, even though this is stated in the description.After a week with fuel in the line, it's gone rock-hard and have shrunk and now is unusable.

Works well, The Priming bulb just replaces you're mouth, and is not permanently fixed, just hold the priming bulb up to the hose, a couple of squeezes, then you see the fluid flowing and just pull the bulb away, i first made the mistake thinking the bulb should be attached, but after communication with the seller, who explained the above to me! as the priming bulb is not permanently attached then this will increase its life expectancy and wont deteriorate as quickly.

The best ideas are usually simple and this is brilliantly simple. It is very well made and easy to use. Use it with the tubing supplied or any hose from 3/8" to 1/2" inside diameter. I use it to siphon kerosene from my heating oil tank into containers to use with an X300 flame gun or paraffin heater for the greenhouse. It will save me a fortune compared to buying paraffin in containers. Simple but brilliant piece of kit that will pay for itself many times over. Highly recommended.

This was a complete waste of money. Delivery was very quick, but the product itself is useless. The bladder that creates the flow is supposed to pull a vacuum in the pipe to get the flow started, but the non-return valve does not work so it is of no use at all. The pipe has a nice brass weighted end, but with such a badly made bladder system it is completely useless.
