Some photos of another homemade jet siphon water transfer device; this time from our 2015 seminar in Northampton, New Brunswick with the Jolly Farmer Fire Brigade. The folks fabricated a jet powered siphon tube from some 8-inch metal tubing and powered it with a 1-1/2" (38mm) hose. The device transferred water pretty efficiently during the two-hour drill. The key to its successful use was to keep a close eye on any back-siphoning when water power was shut-off to the tube.
Some creative fabrication made for a pretty effective water transfer device.
