In the months to come ... just mumble auto-siphon (with a mouthful of food) everytime you sit down to a plate of homegrown salad or veges...

"Awtwosifoon"..... "what's that dear?"....... "Nofing dear" :D

i just got home from work and i tweeked it. lol not even one day running and i've already tweeked the system just like you guys were sayin :P

i took a new juice container from starbucks and drilled a hole through the side of the top and ran a airhose through that and outside the contraption and its working like clockwork now no dribbles at the start and no dribbles at the end..
i did an experiement with a water bottle cut apart and it didnt work because the mouth is too close to the same size as the siphon pipe.

but the square juice containers from starbucks work like a charm.
