What is the easiest and quickest way to siphon water from a wading pool with a garden hose without use of a pump?
If you have a low spot that you could put the end of a hose, than you could hook a hose to the other end and feed it water to get the flow started. After getting the water running, hold the connected ends under the water in the pool and take them apart. Keep the end from the hose going to the low spot under the water. Have something handy to put on the end in the pool to hold it down to the bottom. If there is no are leaks in the hose and you keep the end under water, it should mostly drain the pool.
The discharge end of the hose must be lower than the intake end. When the level of water in the pool falls to the same level as the discharge end, the siphon will stop flowing. To drain a pool completely, the discharge end must be lower than the lowest spot in the pool and the intake end must be place at that spot. To start the siphon you can immerse the hose completely in water to get all the air out, plug the discharge end of the hose with your thumb or a suitable cap as you drag it over the side of the pool, and uncap it when the discharge end is at a low point. This method of starting a siphon avoids sucking or inhaling on the hose end, with the attendant risk of aspirating contaminated water into one's lungs.

A simple device for moving liquids over obstacles without a pump?
One simple device to move liquids over obstacles without a pump is a siphon. A siphon works by creating a vacuum that pulls the liquid up and over the obstacle, allowing it to flow continuously. Simply fill the siphon tube with liquid, ensuring the end of the tube is lower than the liquid source, and gravity will do the rest.

My toilet does not flush well. Is there any way to fix it?
A common reason for his problem is that the diaphragm is worn and not lifting enough to create a siphoning action. The easiest way to fix this is to drain as much water as possible around the siphon, and then either replace the siphon or take it off and replace just the diaphragm.
What does a siphon do?
A siphon is a tube that allows liquid to flow uphill without the need for pumping. By creating a vacuum within the tube, gravity helps pull the liquid up and over a barrier. This can be useful for transferring liquids between containers at different elevations.
