I had a problem with low clearance between my water bucket and the tree. This addressed that problem by putting a refillable reservoir away from the low hanging branches and siphoning water from the reservoir into the tree bucket. The little squeeze pump made establishing the siphon easy and it was easy to monitor the water level in the reservoir (which reflected the water level in the tree bucket). I put a mark on the reservoir at the same elevation as the maximum water level that I wanted in the tree bucket and never filled the reservoir above the mark. It appeared that the siphon was lost on a couple of occasions but it was easy to re-establish it with the squeeze pump. A good simple device that I will continue using.

Took a 2 week vacation but didn't want our Christmas trees to dry up. Followed the directions on the video. Important to have the water level on your tank the same as your Christmas tree stand. Pump 10 times to remove any air from the tubes. Then you are set to go. Kept the trees green and watered.

Buy this -- it's simple and works really well ! I've been using it for 2 weeks now. But you will NOT be impressed when it arrives -- it doesn't look like much more than a piece of silicon tubing and a squeeze bulb. And that's pretty much all it is -- but that's all you need for this ingenious little contraption. It does have a couple key features: the tube that goes into the tree base has a copper wire inside the tube to ensure it stays straight in the tree base and allows you to hook it over the edge of the tree base so it stays in place. It also has a tiny checkvalve after the squeeze bulb to ensure the siphon is started correctly, and a weight on the reservoir end to make sure it stays submerged. You just fill up your reservoir (see tip below) squeeze the bulb gently 4 times to initiate the siphon and it's automatic after that.If you're not familiar with the siphon effect (imagine siphoning gas out of a car gas tank), it functions like this: as the water level in your tree base drops below the level in the reservoir, the (very slowly) falling water level in the tree base pulls water from the reservoir into the tree base. This will continue as long as the water level in the reservoir is higher than in the tree base. And make sure the reservoir end does not become uncovered in water -- that will end the siphon effect. Though in that situation you just have to refill your reservoir and squeeze the priming bulb again 4 times to restart the siphon.So here's the ULTRA-KEY tip: The water level in the reservoir can NEVER be higher than the top of your tree base -- otherwise the water will siphon right out of the tree base and onto your floor. So to get the most utility out of this device, your reservoir needs to be short but have a large footprint (wide and long). This will give you the most usable water volume (thus less refilling). Think of a short, but long and wide big plastic container with a lid (so pine needles don't drop in) that you can buy at Walmart for $8. Once you have your reservoir, set it next to your tree base -- or measure the height of the tree base -- and use a sharpie to mark on the side of the reservoir a level about 1 inch below the height of your tree base. That will be your max fill level. Then drill or poke a hole in the lid of the reservoir and drop in your siphon tube. Put the other end (with the wire) in the tree base and squeeze the bulb gently 4 times and done -- you won't need to water your tree for days ! Just keep an eye on the water level in your reservoir -- it will be equal to the water level in your tree base.Simple but works like a charm.

Update: I bought this last year and it sort-of worked. It wasn't consistent with water levels but it was good enough that I didn't want to bother asking for a replacement. I got it out to use it again this year, and it just doesn't work at all. There seems to be an issue somewhere that's letting air into the tube, which is lined with many tiny bubbles, and there's no noticeable water flow. I might try and seal it up with some superglue or something because it's currently worthless.Update 2: the pump bulb had an imperfection in it where it connected to the junction piece and was letting air in. I tried (and failed) to seal it and ultimately it broke. Haven't been able to make contact with the company. Meh.-----I bought this so that we didn't have to keep crawling under the Christmas tree to water it. It's very dry here so we found ourselves watering the tree at least once a day and sometimes topping it off so it wouldn't completely dry. For reference, it was approximately 7.5' to the top of the tree, so not small, but not huge.I tested this out using two large bowls before putting it in the tree stand. I filled a bowl with water and then set another bowl next to it on the counter. It didn't quite level out the water between the two; the bowl being filled was always an inch or two below the water level in the source bowl.I found similar behavior when watering the tree--I could fill up the water bucket but it would only drain it down partway before needing to be refilled. I read the instructions over and over to make sure I hadn't missed anything. The bottom was level to the tree stand--I even tried putting it a little higher or a little lower, which didn't make much of a difference. I also tried draining and re-priming the line multiple times.Ultimately the workaround was to just figure out the level of water to overfill the bucket so that it would still water plenty without running over the stand.So ultimately, I found this really quirky, but it still made watering much easier, as I only had to add water to the bucket (to the line I marked) every 2-3 days and it didn't involve climbing under the tree. Worth it.
