Passive water system keeps failing! The cows need your help!

What happens here

The video begins with an introduction to the passive siphoning water system used to hydrate cattle directly from a pond. The system utilizes 3/4 inch poly pipe to transport water to multiple water tanks for the cattle. The primary issue is the system frequently losing its siphon, requiring manual re-priming by sucking on the pipe. The creator seeks advice from viewers familiar with plumbing or siphoning systems to diagnose and resolve this recurring problem. Potential causes discussed include extreme heat affecting the poly pipe and the development of air pockets within the system.

Goal: Understand the passive watering system and its primary malfunction (losing siphon)
