I'll take the $2000. I think you mean "take the water out of the pipe", not "take the pipe out of the water".

If you lift the pipe out, it will hold siphon because the lowest drain point in the siphon portion is high enough to maintain prime.

No I took the pipe out of the water. And then put it back in and it worked fine. And that's what you said no way to so you owe me 20 bucks!!

Paul, why doesn't the water all come pouring out of a water cooler bottle when it's placed on the cooler?? Because the water level in the reservoir is higher than the neck of the bottle and stops air from getting in. Thats how his overflow is working with the upturned hook on the inlet. It doesn't let air into the upper part of the plumbing so the water does not come out.

You of all people should see that.

Because I will send you enough money to build another and still have enough left to have a few beers on me.


The original design that you posted isn't quite the same as what you have built, built to the first post what you are describing could not happen,the addition of the U in the tank and the difference in tank to siphon fall off dimension is the reason that you can hold siphon.

the photo in post 17 could or can be deceiving depending on the angle that it is viewed at so I must assume the original pic is what the unit was modeled on, I stand by my word, send me your PayPal addy and I will send you $200, but I do want the actual unit.

Paul

I don't need you to build me one, I have enough bits and pieces to build dozens of them.

I want that one..

A bet is a bet and I will be happy to send you $200 for that one, even though it isn't made exactly as the original pic it does do what it is supposed to do and a little more.


Paul

PS get a paypal account.

I didn't have Paypal until this week. It doesn't seem very secure to me. All someone needs is my email address and guess my password and they can clean out my credit card. I have more security on my cellphone account. Am I missing something?
