Executive Summary
Product Purpose
Hand-Operated Bilge Pump: The primary purpose of a bilge pump is to remove water from a maritime vessel. However, the pumping function of the device makes the hand-operated version useful in a range of applications where a liquid must be drawn out of a source and relocated to a different area. Although the use of a device to remove accumulated water from a boat evolved from buckets, to hand-operated bilge pumps, and finally to electric bilge pumps, the hand-operated version of this technology is widely used on vessels as a backup in the event of an emergency. In addition to small boats, hand-operated bilge pumps are used in kayaks, canoes, rowboats, lifeboats, and a host of other personal watercraft applications in which a compact, light-weight, easy to use, and economical pump is required.
Siphon: The purpose of a siphon is to transfer water from a fish tank to a bucket located at a lower elevation. In addition, the attachment allows the rocks to become dislodged into the turbulent flow, thus cleaning off the algae, then returning the rocks to the bottom of the aquarium.
