...Where we can post ideas and moan about the implications?!
I have a question:
How do I get water out of my upstairs bathroom up over the sill and start the siphon action? DH and I experimented last night- he did something he used to do years ago back in Oz where you repeatedly plunge the hose up and down under water to build up a column of water which gets high enough to tip over the edge BUT he used to use 3-4m lengths of wide irrigation pipe, plunging up to a meter in and out of the water trough whereas we had a little garden hose and about 10cm to play with! He then tried filling the hose from the tap and plunging it into the bath (and suggesting I suck the other end!- I pointed out there was way more air capacity in the hose than my lung capacity!)... anyway, we eventually succeeded in getting the flow going but I don't have 25 mins a night to run 150 litres of water out of a bath and DH had to hold the end in the bottom of the bath all that time...
What I need is some sort of convenient pump, don't I? If only to start the flow going.
Any ideas?
