Can this siphon be used for potable water?

Yes if it works. The marble/copper fitting fit was poor on mine. The clear tubing was kinked and was partially blocking flow. It wouldn't un kink. Permanent

It would be fine for potable water. Keep it clean and don't use it for anything else.

I think it says not for use with potable water. Look into a shark bite fittings - no soldering.

I would assume that it can. Might take a special fitting, although i doubt it. It is intended to be a drinking water faucet and most of those are connected to filters. This faucet uses a 3/8 compression fitting which is very commmon. I am very happy with my faucet as it matches my other Delta gooseneck kitchen faucet.

No. Siphon body has too large a diameter. It's meant to fill bottles from a gallon jar.

YES, it MOST DEFINITELY WILL cause a siphon to be created. Please see my review titled "Saltwater aquarium applications beware!" for more information.

I think it's too strong for your tank. I guess if you turn your faucet down, it won't overwhelm. A siphon sounds better.

Most likely but I don't think it is designed for that. It calls for water. I use bottled water with less impurities.

you could but you would need a long hose and would pobably need to keep pumping handle as I dout it would work as a siphon

Yes. This filter can turn mud into potable water. Tasting good is another issue. In desperate times, as long as you have water, you can get past the taste.

There is a siphon tube but it is not auto siphon. You have to get it started with water.

This doesn't seal well enough to be used as a sippy; it leaks. If you put a rubber ring under it (the same kind you would use for canning) it works fine.

Yes, as all siphons work as long as the out pouring tube (curly tube) is lower than the input tube (straight tube) gravity should make it work once you get the flow going. Put a 5 gallon bucket next to the toilet, keep and maintain the out pouring curly tube down at the bottom of the bucket. I would not want to do it with very dirty water, and then you have to clean out this little pump before storing back in the closet.

I would contact the manufacturer about that specifically, but I don't see why not. We use it to empty our yard when it floods so it sits in inches of water and pumps it at a good speed.

I am sure it can. I boil the kettle to fill my bottle. Although I have to say I sent this one back as it was so small and very expensive. I got a cheap one for only a few dollars and love it.

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

I dont see any reason that you could not use it. You can easily take the pump apart to check the impeller and the metal for connecting the hose appears to be brass. I used it to pump water through a solar heater for my spa and had no problems.

You sure can. I own 3 of these and fill all of them with tap water. No problems :)
