little squeeze bulb with valve, used to prime siphon flows. Cone shaped rubber fitting slides inside and seals into any tube/hose, draws water up, expels airs out a 1/4" tube on the side. works fine for low "head height" applications, meaning if you have to only draw the water up a couple of feet. Does not do the job if you are trying to draw water up several feet, for example, i have a fluval 405 canister in the basement, 8 feet below my tank on the main floor. This squeeze bulb does not have enough volume to draw the water up that 8 feet, even when pumping it repeatedly.
I tried to use this but it didn't work...lots of pumping but no suction. I thought it would help me with some priming, but look on youtube for priming tips instead. This is a big waste of money, would not recommend.
This is something I have used for years to start suction in a turtle tank and pump. The rubber does go after awhile but it works great, just quite pricey.

I have been using Eheim canister filters for 3 years and consider myself a "cool guy" I always use my mouth to "prime" the filter after each cleanup. Unfortunately depending on how much water is being trapped in the hoses and filter, sometimes it may not be easy to prime the filter without swallowing some fish water!!!!! With this suction starter, you basically stick the starter to the outlet and give it a few squeeze (it may "swallow" some water but will spit it right now with a built in drain) and the filter starts to be filled with water right away! What a life saver!!!
its very usefull item if u hav eheim classic filters... U dont hav to suck water from your mouth. It does the job for you in better, cleaner and faster way.
