I always start by filling the system with water like shown above. But I have had issues a few times getting it going an instead of filling it with water again and dripping all over the kitchen floor I just use my mouth. I have never had a contamination problem by doing this.

I've successfully started a siphon with a sanitized turkey baster dozens of times.

I use a 20cc syringe, it fits perfectly into the end of the tubing. I'm in medicine, so I guess I have easier access to large syringes.
Perhaps one of those turkey syringes might work, you know, the ones you can inject butter/garlic into meat. |

Also, I found the autosiphon won't fit into 1 gal jugs.
So if you're doing some experimenting you'll need to do it without the autosiphon. |

After breaking my autosiphon I decided to spend a whopping $3 on the standard racking cane. IT'S EASY! Fill tube with water, attach one end to the cane so it's snug, pinching the other end. Let the 'loose' end run off into a nearbye bucket or bottle (or my sump pump) and then move over to vessel-to-be-filled.
And a standard cane has a lot less parts to hide contamination too. |

I vote for the racking cane also. It is the cheapest and easist way to go and simple to clean/sanitize. I have to admit I am intrigued with the idea of the turkey syringe.

I'll be honest, i use a racking cane and siphon via the mouth. I get the flow going and then crimp the tube to stop the flow. I then dip the end of the tube into sanitizing solution i have available anyway and then place it into the carboy. No problems so far.
