Use a clean, flexible hose or tube
Place one end of the hose in the water source
Make sure the other end is lower than the water level
Fill the hose completely with water, or use a pump to start the flow
Keep the water-filled end submerged
Lower the outlet end into the receiving container or drain
Let gravity pull the water through the hose
Keep both ends steady until the flow is established
Stop the siphon by lifting the outlet end above the water level or pinching the hose
