Suction hose is ideal for the home (for aquariums, ) the garden (water butts, pools, ponds etc) or for your car (for removing petrol). The hosepipe can be used for diverse liquids (water, petrol, cleaning materials etc). Easy to use: Put the hose vent into the liquid, shake & off you go! If the other end of the hosepipe has to go into a watering can or bucket etc, make sure it is fixed so the liquid goes where you want it to go. After the pipe has been shaken in the liquid, you will hear a whirring sound & then the liquid will start to flow. The liquid will flow until the hose vent is removed from the liquid. The hosepipe is 1.5 mtr long.
