I got into habit of siphoning with small rubber tubes after reading Hoke etc. because you get less disturbance of settled materials through siphoning.
Technique is: hold tubing ends together, fill with water, hold finger over one end of tube which you place in receiving container. Put other open end of tube at least one inch above settled material to be washed etc.
I now believe siphoning with small tubing may cause you to stay in too close proximity to hot acids etc. for too long! Please always use fan or blower to direct fumes away from you.
Is this why I usually see pour instead on siphon in this forum?
I had a bad experience with inflaming my lungs. Went into pneumonia both lungs. The treatment at E/R was nebulizer for asthma type symtoms, new enzyme based antiboitics for a week. Tylenol for 103 to 105 degree temperature I'd run for almost a week. Bed rest. Should have gone to doctor much sooner than I did! Expensive mistake!
My formula was arrogance/ ignorance + casual attitude towards danger/complacency = Trip to E.R at 2am!
