It's a circular chamber .. about an inch thick and 5 inches in diameter with a paddle wheel inside .. and two connections .. suck in, and exit out. and there is a crankhandle on the side, and a piston grip sorta. you hook the suck hose to whatever you want to start the siphon from.. crank the handle a couple of spins.. when you see the stuff coming out the exit connection ...at that point I take the hose off the suck connection and put it into whatever container your putting the old juice into. I'd call it a Siphon Starter/Sucker all right ..mine is a Black & Decker Jack Rabbit Pump similar to this one http://tommorrowtools.com/black-decker-jack-rabbit-pump/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=27%20Jun%202011%2007:08 I doubt I paid anything like 40+ dollars for mine though. Mine is orange plastic. Scott
