Re: How to get that darn Gravel Vac started
The pinch and fill technique is also useful to get that tank-to-toilet garden hose siphon started for major draining purposes. If you're by yourself, and you don't want to flood your bathroom, you need to secure the hose at the toilet end first; often, putting it under the seat/lid is sufficient.
