Because of gravity, water and most liquids seek their own level. This means that if left side by side, gravity would not be able to move the water in any direction. But if you were to move one container lower than the other then water could move in the direction of the lower level container through a tube or pipe that was attached to the bottom of the higher container. But if the tube used to move the water had to be raised higher than the upper container, suction would get the water moving in the direction of the lower container and then gravity would take over and the water would continue to move without further suction. A siphon doesn't "defy" gravity to work, but uses gravity to perform the siphoning action.

When will siphon will fail to work?
Siphons will fail to work when the liquid being transferred reaches a level equal to the highest point of the siphon. At this point, air will enter the tube, breaking the siphon effect and stopping the flow of liquid.
Can you siphon water uphill?
No, you cannot siphon water uphill because gravity pulls the water downward, making it impossible for the siphon to work against gravity.

The best, fastest and easiest way is to let the pump siphon it for you directly from the big tanks. Go to your local gas station and pay, then the pump will do all the work for you. :-)
Why does the liquid move into the siphon when air is removed from the siphon by the pipette?
When air is removed from the siphon by the pipette, the atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid into the siphon to fill the vacuum created. This creates a pressure difference between the two ends of the siphon, causing the liquid to flow into it.

How does a bell siphon work to regulate water flow in an aquaponic system?
A bell siphon in an aquaponic system works by creating a vacuum that allows water to flow out of the grow bed once it reaches a certain level. When the water level rises, it fills the bell siphon tube, creating a siphon effect that quickly drains the water until the level drops below the siphon's opening. This cycle helps regulate the water flow in the system, preventing overflows and ensuring proper circulation for the plants and fish.
How do you fix the siphon in your septic tank?
If you are having trouble with a bell siphon, you will need to replace it with a Flout dosing device. The Flout does not need a level tank to work correctly, only level water. And you don't need to replace the tank, just the bell siphon. Check this link for pictures. http://www.flout.net/rissyplastics2/id13.html
