Assemble the Components:

Ensure that all the components of the automatic siphon are clean and sanitized.

The basic components typically include a racking cane, tubing, and a pump mechanism.

Attach Tubing:

Attach one end of the tubing to the outlet or racking cane of the automatic siphon.

Submerge in Liquid:

Submerge the racking cane or the bottom end of the siphon in the liquid you want to transfer.

Start the Siphon:

Operate the pump mechanism as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This may involve pumping or pressing a button to start the siphon action.

The siphon will initiate, drawing the liquid up through the tubing.

Monitor Flow:

Keep an eye on the liquid flow as it moves through the tubing. Adjust the pump mechanism if needed to maintain a steady flow.

Direct the Flow:

Direct the other end of the tubing to the desired container or vessel where you want the liquid to be transferred.

Finish the Transfer:

Once the liquid has been transferred, stop the pump mechanism or lift the racking cane out of the liquid to stop the flow.

Clean and Store:

Disassemble the siphon and clean all components thoroughly. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and storage.

Tips

Ensure that the container receiving the liquid is lower than the source to facilitate the siphoning process.

Avoid introducing air bubbles into the tubing, as they can disrupt the siphon flow.

Practice proper sanitation to prevent contamination of the liquids being transferred.

Always refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of your automatic siphon, as designs may vary slightly.
