I have one of those, just don't turn the drill too fast or without water
for very long or it will melt.

My problem is that it is quite difficult and somewhat unpleasant to get

Have you ever tasted pond mud!?! I am wondering if anyone can direct me to
a vendor who offer siphon pumps which attach to a garden hose. Ideally I
would like something hand operated. No gas or electric pumps. I am
thinking of rigging a gas siphon, but none of these are designed to attach
to a garden hose.


Run over to the hardware store, and get a small pump that will attach to
a drill.

I got one, it connects in/out to garden hoses, self primes, and moves a
bunch of water.

They are less than usd$10 at the hardware store.
