" ... Also, the pump portion of mine came pre-assembled backwards. ... "
" ... It seems like there was a tear in the flimsy plastic tubing or that there was a problem with the original manufacture. ... "
" ... However, several pieces that are unnecessary snapped off quickly and it sucks up gravel that is hard to remove. ... "
" ... It looks cheaply made one of the tubes connected to the pump looks like it melted or something still fits but come on. ... "
" ... The materials put into this siphon are on the cheap side. ... The hose is plastic as opposed to vinyl. ... The hose will fail if it gets any type of fold or kink in it in my opinion. ... Mine already came undone from the hose and now the plastic valve does not close half of the time while priming the siphon. ... If you remove the cap it will suck up any small to moderate sized gravel and will become lodged in the hose or in the priming pump. ... Bad design with cheap materials. ... "
" ... Broke in first use ... "
" ... Also the end that goes into the tank where the hose attaches is, as mentioned, very flimsy and if you don't hold it on the joint it will bend over and kink off. ... "
" ... Also the plastic isn’t very strong so it just kept bending making it difficult to control and get the job done properly. ... "
