To start the flow of water, fully submerge the tube in the water to fill it up. Then up your finger over one end to hold the water in, point it to your bucket and remove your finger.
dont fancy submerging my 10 metre length into the fishtank
think i will stick to the tried and tested method of sucking!
btw some of the gravel syphons have a flap that stops backflow of the water into the tank, you submerge the wider part of the syphon and then 'shake' it up and down until you have enough in the pipe to turn it downwards and the syphon starts itself
