Abstract: A hose siphon for cleaning sand, dirt and other particulate impurities from tanks or vessels. The hose siphon typically includes an aspirator conduit for receiving the pressurized water and a main conduit for receiving the pressurized water from the aspirator conduit. The main conduit includes a suction end for fluid communication with the tank or vessel and a discharge end for discharging the pressurized water from the main conduit. As the pressurized water flows through the aspirator conduit and into the main conduit, sand filtering medium and trapped impurities are aspirated from the vessel into the suction end of the main conduit, and discharged from the discharge end of the main conduit with the pressurized water. A water discharge hose is provided in fluid communication with the aspirator conduit for distributing a portion of the pressurized water to the tank or vessel and maintaining a suspension or slurry of the sand medium and particulate impurities in the tank or vessel.
