## Overview

The Aquaponics Bell Siphon Kit is a proven, easy-to-install system designed for 12" IBC grow beds. Featuring a patented 2-1 Bernoulli funnel top for rapid siphon action, a rugged 4" gravel shield to protect roots and save grow space, and durable thin-walled PVC components rated for 200 PSI, this kit delivers reliable, clog-free performance with minimal maintenance. Trusted by over 20,000 users worldwide since 2012, it includes all necessary adapters and water level extenders for precise water control in outdoor aquaponics setups.

## Description

We have had such good results with this simple design in our 2500 gallon IBC aquaponics system since 2012 that we are proud to make them available here on desertcart. Our siphons use the "Affnan" 2-1 funnel top design that assures an amazingly fast start and no we do not ever use a "trap" at the bottom because traps clog up down the road and cause failures. We also do not use the small "snorkel tube" you may see on other bells as that too gets clogged or breaks seal and we find it totally unnecessary (and very noisy) with our design which allows air to come under the bell and back up the down tube when it comes time to "break siphon". Simple and always trouble free with guaranteed reliable starts and stops. Also, we use a 4" gravel/media guard TO SAVE YOU GROW SPACE and they are easy to rotate in place to cut off any roots that are always trying to grow through any gravel guard. We rotate ours about once a month and that is pretty much ALL the maintenance these siphons ever need. Those 6" guards are unnecessary, expensive to ship and take up way too much of your valuable grow space. Our guards are made of S&D 200lbs per square inch pipe that boasts a larger inner diameter than schedule 40 for bigger hands like mine. Our bells have a porcelain knob held on with a stainless steel screw for easy maintenance (will last forever) or just for having a quick look. These are the prettiest, best working, "easy to adjust the water level" bell siphons anywhere. The only ones voted even better looking by our visitors are our "Clear Top" bells that we also offer for a bit more money. Kids love watching them work as well. The only thing kids love more is watching the fish. We have built and shipped over 20,000 bell siphons so buy with confidence. You get everything you see in the main photo including the 2 adjuster rings. A complete bell siphon ready to go in your 12" deep IBC media bed.

Review: Works great - Works perfect, definitely easier than building my own.
Review: Buy this, don’t build one, your siphon won’t be as good. - Great siphon. Once installed and the flow rate was adjusted, this thing has been running like clockwork. No issues and well made. The thin walled pvc makes it easier to work with and you can’t get that stuff at local hardware stores (at least mine). I wasted my time trying to build one with residential plumbing parts but after several hardware store trips and very little success I broke down and bought this siphon. So glad I did because not having to worry about that part makes aquaponics/hydroponics so much more enjoyable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Could this system be used on a rain barrel system?**
A: I don't think so.  A rain barrel is usually 50 to 75 gallons .  My bell siphons start in a tank of more than 100 gallons.  My larger are 250 plus gallons.  The siphons are sometime difficult to start.  A larger tamk would be better for the bell siphon

**Q: What size pump/gph would you recommend using for the siphon to work good on a ibc tote?**
A: I use an 800 to 1000 gal. per hour pump.

**Q: What is adjustable on this siphon?  is the 12" relating to the entire depth of the cut off top part of the ibc tote?**
A: The 2 rings you see in the photo will raise the water depth by 1/2" and 1" for starting seeds, planting seedlings and combined it will flood above the media to drive out bugs as stated in the description. As to your second question as stated in the description I cut the siphons based upon MEDIA depth so if you are filling your IBC right up to the brim with media then yes but most people leave an inch or so of IBC above the media. I personally leave about 2" so I can flood the grow bed without any spills. Media of course refers to the gravel, river rock, clay balls, etc. I don't care how deep your IBC is but rather how deep your MEDIA is. The siphon is designed to keep the system water below the media surface so you won't grow algae. I am being pressured to write a book on Aquaponics 101 I can tell. When I get time I will but meanwhile please investigate all the great primers that are already out there before you design your system or purchase pieces parts.

**Q: How much time will this take to drain a 200 gallon GB?**
A: 2 minutes
