ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, including a primary container or tank for receiving fluid, and a secondary or dispersing tank at a lower level for receiving fluid in a controlled manner from the upper tank. Fluid transfer is perfomed by siphoning tubes, at least one primary siphoning tube being contained within the primary tank. The primary tank includes an opening with a fitting for attachment to a conventional source of water such as to a hose connected to a municipal water supply. The primary siphon tube effects flow of fluid to the secondary tank, which contains a plurality of smaller diameter siphon tubes, with each tube in turn providing fluid to a receiving area, such as one or a group of plant beds. A valve is provided for controlling the outlet of the primary siphon tube. Vertical adjustments can be made to the secondary tank siphon tubes provided for controlling the respective outlets of the secondary tank siphon tubes. The siphon tubes are configured to provide an inverted U-shaped portion within the respective tank, with the loop portion thereof in proximate relation to the upper level of fluid to be received within the tank.
