I have a bucket with a link to a hose which I could siphon to a hose

These siphon systems are supposed to have a design that prevents back
flow. But I don't like to send anything through the garden hose that
is not potable water.



Don't consider anything coming through a hose as potable unless the hose is
marked food grade.


Yikes !

I am leaning more to just hand dispersal as the area is small and the
applications few.

My son Kurt gave me 4 glass balls with glass spouts pulled off it and
seems and it works inside that the water goes out as it is needed. This
house plant stuff but scale does matter.
I know of siphoning but wonder if the reverse is possible?
