Siphon installation

A siphon is a tube-like structure from which liquid flows. Such a tube is used to convey water from a reservoir down to a lower ground level. Siphons in the broader sense could refer to different things that permit the flow of liquid through them. To be more specific here, siphons are tubes of varying shapes (most especially U-tube inverted)that allow the flow of fluid upwards above the surface of a reservoir or a structure at a higher level and then downwards where it is discharged at a lower level. The liquid at first could be forced into the tube by immersion or suction but then its flow upwards is unaided (without the aid of a pump), and its flow downwards is under the pull of gravity.

It is a wonder how something as necessary as a siphon has been of immense help to humans. Have you ever tried emptying a ground pool that doesn’t have a drain? A few people might think of using a bucket to do that. But for the majority of people, the first thing that comes to mind would be to siphon the water. How do you do it? Simply place one end of the water hose into the pool and the other purpose outside of the lake where you want the water to drain to and at a level below the water in the pool. Use suction on it, in this case, you can use your mouth to suck the water. Once the flow of water starts, allow it to continue draining the water on its own. That is the simple principles of science at work.

History has traced the use of siphons way back to ancient Egypt. It is said that the ancient Egyptians used it for their irrigation channels and in winemaking processes. It is still in use today for the same purposes and more.

There have been several debates as to what exactly makes siphons work. For some scientists in the past; it is the force of atmospheric pressure; some, however, noted that it requires air to be present. But, when practiced in a vacuum, siphon still worked. Scientists recently now came up with a theory that seems to be a better explanation. The method says that the major force acting in siphons that make them work is the force of gravity. The effect of gravity is what continues to pull the water through the tube even when the suction force has been removed. This theory depends on the fact that there are cohesive bonds in the liquid, which keep pulling the fluid like a chain. It could also be that the three- gravity, liquid cohesion and atmospheric pressure all work together to make the siphons function as they do.

They use of siphon is not restricted as it can be applied in so many scenarios. It can be used in draining gasoline from a fuel tank, draining ponds and pools, empty barrels and even in the sewage system.

Uses/applications of the siphon

Siphons are used both at home and for industrial purposes. For the residential dwellings;

They can be installed in the bathroom and incorporated into the sewer systems.
They form part of the kitchen plumbing work
They serve as the garden hose used in watering the garden.
They are used in draining fuel from the vehicles fuel tank
They are used for removing water from the swimming pool and also from the fish pond.

Industrially,

They are used in the brewing industry for easy and faster siphoning of liquor.
They are used in the oil and gas industry for siphoning both liquid and gas media from the central system or tank.
They are used in irrigation systems for commercial farming.
They serve as a means of flood controls.

Proper siphon installation

Siphon installation guide/instructions

It doesn’t matter whether you want to get liquid out of your aquarium, your pool or even gas out of your vehicle, siphon can serve any of the purposes. At one point or the other in your life, you might not apply the basic principles of the siphon to get a task such as the ones above done faster and easier. This is more reason why you need to learn how a siphon works.

What are the basic requirements?

You will require to have the source of the liquid to be transferred, a tube or hose which could be opaque or transparent (transparent one would be more fun though as you would be able to see the liquid as it flows through the tube), a place to drain the fluid to and a suction pump (not mandatory).

Before you start, you should know that a siphon cannot work effectively unless the source of the liquid is on an elevated surface above the container, unit, structure or level where you want to drain it to. This is because gravity is at work here.
Put one end of the hose into the source liquid and the other purpose where it is meant to drain to before you get rid of the air in the tube. You might want to suck it out with your mouth, but this is not advisable if you are siphoning specific liquid or gasses. You might be placing yourself at the risk of ingesting harmful substances. Hence a siphon pump is recommended for this.
You can also use the submerging mechanism. In this case, you don’t have to suck on the hose. Submerge the entire tube over the source of the water and have your thumb cover the delivery terminal firmly. Move the other end towards the receiving container while still holding the delivery end with your thumb and submerged. You can then remove your thumb and watch the water flow of its own accord.
To ensure the water flows continuously, you should ensure that the hose is entirely and not partly submerged in the water, else you end up with bubbles.
You do not need extra hands or expertise to make the siphon stop draining. You need to simply lift the hose out of the source, or if you are pouring into a small vessel, you can just lift the receiving container and the tube higher than the cause.

Siphon installation questions

• Question: What is the siphoning effect?

Answer: Siphon effect permits water to flow from a region of higher pressure to one of lower pressure. Here atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid up allowing the force of gravity and cohesive troops to perform the remaining action thereby pushing water or liquid molecules through the tube.

• Question: Why do I get water spraying all over the house siding each time there is a change in the water pressure? What can be done about it?

Answer: The problem could be with the anti-siphon valve or the failure of the water pressure-reducing valve. You might have to check the anti-siphon valve and have them replaced. Get the measurement of your water pressure and install a water pressure regulator. You can also get an expansion tank installed to help bring down the occasional spikes in force near the spigot.

• Question: My toilet siphon is not working. What should I do to salvage the situation?

Answer: You either call an emergency plumber or fix t yourself. If you will, to do it yourself, you have to first ensure that the toilet hook is firmly attached. The faulty siphon could be because of the failure of the toilet flap. If the flap has been torn off, you might have to replace either it or the entire toilet siphon. It is advisable, however, that you return the whole toilet siphon.

• Question: What is backflow in a siphon system? Why is it dangerous?

Answer: The siphon is a tube-like structure designed to move water in only one direction. However, if the water pressure reduces or there is a break in the path of water flow, it can cause the water to flow back in the opposite direction. This reversal in the course of water flow can draw contaminants such as chemicals, mud, dirt, fertilizers, etc. from the receiving end of the siphon back into the primary source of water. This would cause contamination of the whole water system, which could render the water useless or endanger the health of those using the pool.

• Question: How can I prevent the backflow of water in my siphon?

Answer: You can prevent back siphoning of water by installing a device called the anti-siphon valve or faucet. This prevents the backflow of water. The backflow prevention device as well is designed to close off whenever it senses a reverse in the flow of water. In this manner, it keeps out contaminants and other unwanted materials from the central water system.

• Question: For the sprinkler system, must the anti-siphon valve be installed above the sprinkler heads?

Answer: Yes, the anti-siphon valve has to be installed at a point that is higher than the sprinkler heads it is meant to turn on or off. It should not just be higher than the average height of the sprinklers, rather it should be higher than all the heads (about 6 to 12 inches higher than the most upper sprinkler head). If it is not installed this way, the backflow preventer that was built into the system will not work. Also, the valve will spill out water from the vent that was meant for air. Ensure that the anti-siphon valve is placed above ground level.

• Question: Why do anti-siphon valves leak water?

Answer: Anti-siphon valves can leak water because of a worn out rubber gasket, poppet or because of dirt being trapped in the lid. Whichever case it is, it allows water under high pressure to spray out of the valve whenever the faucet is turned on.

Various Models of Siphons

Siphons can be classified based on:

The shape of the siphon
The type of siphon pump used
And the use of the siphon

Types of siphon based on shape and design

The basic form of a siphon is actually inverted- U shape, which permits liquid to flow from a reservoir down to a lower level. But then also based on the manufacturers and purpose, there are other shapes of siphons such as:

The U- type siphon used for horizontal installations
The coil type siphon used for vertical installations
Pigtail siphon

Types of siphon pump

Manual hand siphon pump
Handheld electric powered siphon pump
Handheld battery powered siphon pump
Universal car/fuel siphon pump
Aquarium vacuum siphon pump

Types of siphon based on usage

Industrial siphons
Pressure gauge siphon
Sewer siphons
Shower siphons
Irrigation siphons
Bell and loop siphon for an aquaponic or hydroponic system

The pressure gauge siphon

The pressure gauge siphon is a simple device that is used to protect a pressure gauge from a hot temperature medium (above 1500F), e.g. steam. With pressure gauges, high temperatures can cause inaccurate readings or some sort of damages. Hence, pressure gauge siphons of recent have been designed to specifically meet the demand of the pressure gauges.

A good pressure gauge siphon should be able to perform excellently in any type of environment or media including an acidic environment. They protect the pressure gauge by allowing condensate to form and be collected in them. In this manner, the hot steam and vapors do not have direct contact with the indicator. They do not only act as steam protectors but also as freeze protectors. They are of different types such as:

The coil siphons
The compact gauge siphons
The U- type siphons and
The straight pipes and 900 elbows

Depending on the model, some are better used for vertical installations while some serve better for horizontal plants. A typical pressure gauge siphon can be made of several materials like carbon steel, stainless steel, brass steel etc.

Siphon accessories

Siphons are basically tubes that permit liquid to be transferred from a source to a receiving end, but then in some cases, siphons come with extra add ons that enables it to function better and more effectively. Depending on what the siphon is used for, it may or may not be compulsory to come with these features. Here we will list out some of them.

Siphon pumps

Generally, before the liquid starts flowing in the tube, a suction force needs to be applied. It is widespread for some people to use this force by sucking on the receiving end of the hose with the mouth, but this can be dangerous and inappropriate when you are siphoning certain types of liquid that are harmful to the health such as fuel. You certainly can’t use your mouth to suck on siphons connected to a sewer or an unclean source of water meant for irrigation.

This is where the siphon comes in. With the siphon pump; you can conveniently prime the siphon and trigger the flow of the liquid. Siphon pumps come in different sizes and designs depending on the purpose, but the feature they majorly have in common is that they come with a small motor that does the sucking action for you. You will only need a source of power such as a battery system or electricity in some cases to power the siphon pump.

You just have to push the switch on the pump and then allow it to do the rest. Siphon pumps are used to transfer different types of liquids. It is however advised that you do not use the same siphon pump for every kind of liquid. Reserve each pump for one particular liquid as specified by the manufacturer.

In the case of sewage, the pump functions to pump out the wastewater from the tank.

Siphon check-valve

A siphon valve has different functions.

It stops the water being transferred or discharged from flowing back into the system.
It prevents the transfer of water in the receiving order.
Some valves function to allow the inflow of air into the hose to bring an end to the siphoning effect.
Valves also prevent water spillage from the tube.

Siphon check valves basically permit the flow of liquid in one direction thus automatically preventing a reverse flow of the fluid. Because people tend not to understand the basics of check valves, a lot misunderstand it. Siphon check valves just like any other check valve are self-automated and do not need external assistance to open or close.

So long as a pump is involved, then a check valve might as well be required. Siphon pumps are used in different media such as liquid, air (gas) and steam. Aside from siphons, check valves are also applied in other devices such as vacuum breakers, header lines, sump pumps, boilers, steam lines, injection lines, etc.

There are different types of check valves being used today such as:

The ball check valve
Lift or piston check valve
Nozzle check valve
Swing check valve

Each has its own advantage and unique applications. You might contact your siphon pump manufacturer to help you select the best check valve to use. When choosing the check valve to use, you have to look out for the compatibility of the material that the check valve is made of with the medium that will be passing through it, its line size, it’s rating, its design, its dimensions and how it is installed (whether it is vertical up or down or horizontal).

Anti-siphoning devices

The anti-siphon valve/ faucet

The anti-siphon valve is required in many places in the house: in the kitchen hose connections, swimming pools, the toilet, and the bathroom fill valves. Outside of the home, they also form components of the siphon system. It feature includes a rubber-like seal that permits the flow of water in one direction.

The anti-siphon valve is a one- directional valve that prevents the backflow of liquid and is usually designed to stay in a closed position. It prevents liquid from being siphoned back into the central system when the pressure in the system fails. For the fuel system, the faucet is used for submersible pumps in aboveground tanks and can operate on two primary principles- the electric solenoid valves and the spring-loaded valves.

An alternate anti-siphon system, on the other hand, does not function as a flow prevention valve like the anti-siphon valve. Instead, it serves as a siphon breaker. When the siphon pump is turned on, this siphon breaker is closed (energized) but when the pump is off, the siphon breaker is opened (de-energized).

The siphon breaker acts by introducing air into the hose or piping as the liquid flows through it. If there is a leakage in the siphon or a valve is accidentally left open, with the introduction of air, only the amount of liquid held in that pipe at that particular point will flow out. Instead of a large amount of fluid to be lost from the tank or primary source, only a small amount will be lost. This is because the introduction of air has broken the siphoning effect.

The function of the anti-siphon valve/faucet in the home

The anti-siphon valve is essential in a siphon system except that most people don’t know about it, don’t understand it or simply tag it as “irrelevant.”

They prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the central water system in the home.
It helps prevent health hazards associated with the above mentioned.
They help safeguard the primary source of water used for cooking, drinking, and bathing.

Anti-odour siphons

Anti-odour siphons can be installed especially around the house to specifically target unwanted or rancid smells. They are useful in the balconies and terraces as they are designed to enhance the environment surrounding drainage holes and decks. They serve to eliminate the odor that could emanate from drain pipes up to the floor or roof.

Anti-odor siphons can also be installed with shower outlets to trap odor and in kitchen sinks for a similar function.

DIY siphon installation

Certain basic things may not look necessary yet when we check critically, we would notice they are, and we need them either around the home or in our work areas. Structures like the siphon system would appear insignificant, yet they are essential, as they save us a lot of time and stress.

However, one might be discouraged when it comes to the money that might be involved in getting professional hands to help with the installation of this system. If you are the type that like doing it your own way and won’t mind getting your hands dirty to get it installed by yourself, then you don’t have much to worry about. The good news is, siphon installations are not that complex and their usage is without stress as they only rely on cohesive forces between the liquid molecules flowing through them and the power of gravity to do their job.

DIY siphon installation for irrigation system

Farmers in the bid to enhance productivity and increase yield have devised various means to make sure that their crops get sufficient water supply. The two primary methods they use is the sprinkler systems and the siphon tubes. When both are compared, it is evident that the sprinkler system supports water economy more than the siphon system, but then the use of siphon tubes maximizes cost better. The capital, cost of labor, cost of operation and energy involved in the installation of the sprinkler system is usually higher than the savings that could have resulted from economizing water. One might as well say this defeats the purpose of installing the sprinkler system in the first place. Since that is the case, why not go for the siphon system?

What is the benefit of installing the siphon?

The significant advantages of using the siphon for irrigation is that it is cheaper and easier to install.
Again, once it is primed (once the suction force has been applied), it will need little or no power at all to operate it as the force of gravity will do most of the work.
The invention of the siphon tubes for irrigation is an improvement to the irrigation system as they maintain consistency in delivering water to the crop rows.
You can quickly shut them off by just pulling out the siphon tube.

How to install irrigation siphon tubes

If you live primarily in a place where water is an economic life, you might want to install irrigation systems to support your crops. The method of irrigation which was used in the ancient days whereby water from rivers where channeled to irrigation canals and then to ditches dug in the farmland was more labor- intensive as the process doesn’t just end there.

The farmers would still have to cut slots by the sides of the irrigation ditches using shovels to make way for the flow of water into their crop rows. And to stop the water from flowing, they would go through the complicated process of closing up the hole again. Aside from the fact that this method was labor- intensive, it even caused an uneven distribution of water in the farmland.

Here, we will give out some necessary steps on how to install your siphon tube yourself.

Make a concrete ditch section by the side of the farmland (this is applicable in a case where there is no natural reservoir or source of water around. Otherwise, you connect the hose directly to the source).
Using the hose, fill up the ditch you created with water.
Get a siphon tube with one end having an extra upwards curve. The purpose of the additional curve should serve as the exit end of the water. This is to direct the water in such a way that it doesn’t flush away or erode the soil in the farm rows.
Put the entrance end of the tube into the water in the ditch and position it a way that it is fully submerged into the water.
Place your hand firmly at the other end of the siphon to shut it off using your palm.
You then pump the tube in a forward and backward motion until the water starts flowing (mouth suction could have been suggested here, but the irrigation water may not be clean enough, or the tube itself might not be neat to be sucked on).
When the water finally starts flowing from the pipe, direct it to where you want the water to flow to and lay it down there.
Ensure that the exit terminal of the tube is placed on a level that is lower than the entrance end from which water flows into the tube. This is what enables the force of gravity to act on the fluid passing through the tunnel.
Try as much as possible to direct the water away from dirt to minimize mud.
You can go ahead and perform the same process on one or more siphon tubes. This can be placed strategically at different points on the farm, also depending on the size of your farmland.

DIY Siphon installation for your home swimming pool

A properly installed pool tends to maintain a reasonably consistent level of water. This is however also dependent on the number of people using the pool and the weather. With a torrential downpour or chemical imbalance in the water, you may need to drain the pool, or you might want to winterize. You may notice that your pool pump is broken. In the absence of a pump, the next easy option is to make use of a siphon.

This is a step-by-step guide on how to create a simple siphon system to drain the water from your swimming pool.

Equipment you need

A garden hose
Hose clamp
Hose cap

You should first check out the drainage area or system to be sure it can take in the whole volume of water without causing havoc or overflowing the street and adjacent critical structures. The local regulations for certain places may require that you siphon your pool water into your house drain.
Put one end of the garden hose into your swimming pool and slowly allow it to get fully submerged in the water in a manner that there are no air bubbles in the tube.
Holding on to that same end, lower the container until it gets to the bottom of the pool. Using the hose clamp, screw this end to the bottom of the pool while you use the hose cap to screw the other end while still submerged in the water.
Get this end with the hose cap out of the pool water and direct it towards the drainage area.
Place it on the ground and unscrew the lid to get the siphon started.
To avoid back siphonage especially when you are draining the water into a sewer cleanout or drain, ensure that a gap is maintained between the draining end of the hose and the drain. This will also prevent contamination of the pool.
If you want to drain the whole water allow it to flow on its own accord. It won’t stop until the other end comes in contact with water and air bubbles are formed in the hose. Since this end is secured to the bottom of the pool, this is not bound to happen until almost all of the water are drained out.
If you want to just drain to a certain level, however, you either raise the draining end of the hose higher than the water in the pool or you obliterate the tube from the pool to stop the siphoning.

You should take care to open up the hydrostatic valves that come with your pool before emptying the pool. This is to prevent destroying the deck and pool shell.

DIY installation of anti-siphon valve/faucet

Anti-siphon valves are the major types of valves used in irrigation systems. They are also used in hose systems both n and around the house. Irrespective of where it is installed- whether it is in a sprinkler system or hose bib, it still operates in the same way. What anti-siphon faucets do is to prevent backflow of water thereby preventing the water in the tube that might have been already contaminated by lawn, dirt, and chemicals from getting back into the main water supply of the house or the central fluid system.

If you notice your old anti-siphon valve is not functional as it ought to, you might want to replace it yourself with a new one. To do this is pretty easy, you only need a few essential hand tools such as:

Adjustable pliers
Pipe wrench
Vinyl plumber’s tape
Adjustable wrench

Now, let’s take the steps

You should first turn off the main water supply to the house from the first supply valve. Some valves come with a handle, which you have to turn in a clockwise direction or a lever which you have to pull perpendicularly to the water pipe.
Take off the garden hose or the sprinkler drip line in the case of a sprinkler system that is still connected to the spigot. This is where you will install the anti-siphon valve.
Put the faucet on and leave the water in the pipes to all drain off.
Using the adjustable plier or wrench, unscrew the spigot moving it in an anti-clockwise direction until it comes off.
Get a hold of a vinyl plumbers tape and wrap it at one end of the short-length pipe that accompanies the anti-siphon faucet. Screw the same purpose in a clockwise direction into the spot where the spigot was detached. Fix a pipe wrench near this connection and onto the pipe and have it secured.
Also, wrap the vinyl tape on the other end of the short tube and screw the anti-siphon valve onto the threads using your hands in a clockwise direction.
Has the adjustable wrench fixed onto the wrench pads located on either side of the lid?
Tighten the valve to the pipe and stop only when it is secured with the handle located at your position of choice. You can decide to leave it either on one side or upwards.
If you got to this point, congratulations, you got it done. You can then test your work by turning the first valve at the central water supply unit back on. Go ahead, turn the newly installed anti-siphon on, and let the water flow for about 15-20 seconds before turning it off.
Attach the drip line or garden hose back to this new valve.

Things you should note

Check out the pipe thread compound you are using. Do not use a product that is petroleum- based on the water pipe threads.
Whenever you carry out a plumbing activity that involves putting off the primary water valve to drain water from the pipes, do not turn off the man valve with a fast motion. Instead, you do this slowly to prevent the water in the pipes surging out suddenly and blowing out the washers.
Remember to wrap the vinyl tape into the pipe’s thread in a clockwise direction as moving it in anti-clockwise direction may cause leakage into the connection.

Siphon maintenance

Siphons just like every device need to be maintained. Irrespective of where they are being used, they are prone to damage and tend to have dirt and debris accumulate in them. Bypassing siphons and taking them out of service to be cleaned can be a herculean task especially those located underground or under busy roads.

Here are simple guidelines on how to take care of your siphon.

Specific tools can be used to clean out the deposited elements from the siphon. For the inverted siphon structures, the usual way is to transport the stored substances by a manual mechanism to the downstream terminal of the horizontal part of the closed tube before finally taking out the sediments.
You can use the flushing technique as well. In this case, water is made to flow through the conduit under a very high velocity for a short duration of time enabling the transport of large amounts of sediments.
Have the siphon cleaned once every quarter or once every two weeks using a vactor and a hydro jetter.
Smart covers may be installed at the upstream part of the siphon to enable the monitoring of the low levels of the fluid and also anticipate the need for cleaning to be done.
A trash pump with a suction hose may be inserted into the siphon for effective cleaning.
To help combat grease, you should use a degreaser.
The anti-siphon valve used for the siphon might present with issues like leakage as a result of dirt getting into the pipe. It may also be as a result of the rubber gasket wearing out thus causing water to gush out of the valve when the sprinkler or faucet is on. In that case, the anti-siphon valve should be repaired or replaced.

Hire a professional plumber for your siphon

Definitely, not everyone would be inclined to install a siphon themselves. Moreover, even though it seems like the processes involved is not difficult, there is still reason to get professional help especially when it means the complex applications of siphon such as siphons for the sewage system, irrigation system, and industrial purposes.

Why is it necessary you hire a pro to do your siphon installation?

A professional will draw a plan and design for the siphon system but if you are tempted to do the installation on your home just to save cost, but there are certain times you cannot install the siphon on your own. Let’s take, for instance, In the case of the irrigation system, you will need a design of the irrigation system. This doesn’t just end in mapping out the position of the sprinkler head, you should consider factors like the availability of water flow, the water pressure, the type of nozzle to use (as there are different types) and then where to place them to achieve maximum distribution of water. You may not know about all this, but a professional plumber would be well versed in this area.

• A professional knows the right components to fix and where to set them

Siphons are basically tubes for passage of water, but most times, they don’t function alone. That is to say, they come with other components such as the valves (for different functions), pipes, electrical devices, pump, couplers, backflow prevention devices, and filters. A professional would be able to select, rightly place and install the right ones.

• You will need an expert to prepare and lay the siphon pipes

The pipes actually come in different sizes and types. The type and size to be used could be dependent on the purpose the siphon would be serving and where it would be used. There are high chances that you with only a basic knowledge will not know the right type or size to select. Besides, if there is a need to cut the pipes to a particular length size, you may not be able to do that on your own. A professional plumber would help you install the right tube with the correct fitting to avoid faults and possible future leakages.

• A licensed plumber knows better about the valves too!

You may think you’ve got it all covered until it gets to the point where you have to fix the valves and you are lost in confusion. Let’s not overlook it, the valves are essential components of the siphon system. It is what basically controls the opening, closing, and passage of water through the pipe. It is like the regulatory system. But then, there are different types of valves designed to be as specific places and to carry out particular functions. A professional siphon installer would be in a better position to tell which valve should be used, where it should be fixed and how it should be fixed.

Cost of hiring a professional siphon installer

Hiring a professional plumber to install your siphon may or may not cost much depending on the location and the purpose that the siphon is meant to serve. That is to say, the cost would be relative to the complexity of the siphon system. If it is one that requires many components to be installed with is and is labor intensive as well, then you should expect that to cost a little higher than a more straightforward installation job.

Irrespective of that, on the average, siphon installation is not supposed to cost much when compared to the installation of some other building or housing structures. You might complain that it is expensive to hire a professional but hiring an amateur would do you no good either and you might flunk while trying to do it on your own. Hiring a professional would always pay off.

Cost of installing a toilet siphon

Installing your toilet siphon could be depending on the circumstance and how fast you want to get it done. To buy a new toilet siphon could cost you between €5 to €25 and then labor could cost between €50 and €250. On average, taking out, repairing and replacing the toilet siphon could cost you about €120.

How much a backflow preventer does installed in the siphon?

A siphon would definitely need a backflow preventer to prevent back siphonage. To install one on a new system, it could cost about €120 to €300. However, it could cost above €500 to substitute or retrofit one into an already existing system.

Cost of building a siphon irrigation system

Siphon irrigation system channels water right where it is needed at the root of plants; however; one should thus expect that it will cost some charges to have it installed. Installing the siphon irrigation system would cost about €700, and above because the valves and fittings could require about €180 to €200, the pipes would cost about €110 and a 50 mm siphon pipe plus fittings would cost about €300. The pay for labor would then be dependent on the professionals you hire for the job.
