made easy

Almost everyone will have ex rienced a mouthful of vile tast- I liquid together with the istrations of spillage and air *ks when siphoning into small ntainers.

An easy way to overcome this to get a cork, screwcap or lilar airtight stopper and drill o holes in it.

Two plastic tubes should be erted in these, one so that it )trudes just through the bottom the stopper, and the other one that it protrudes nearly to the ttom of the container.

With the stopper inserted into container and the other end the long tube put into the •ply, a few sucks on the short e will start the siphon opera y =>* fhis device works well on any itainer or bottle.
