I have used the little bottle for quite a while now and even used it twice on polypins. The downside to that is I have to lift the polypins off the floor to reach the little bottler and although they are not heavy it's not the easiest thing to do.

I have tried to attach some piping to the little bottler tap and then put the end of the little bottler on the end of the pipe but it leaks everywhere.


Anyot got any tips? If not, i don't like using the siphon but I might just have to!

And within 30 seconds of posting I find another post where someone is advising using the siphon tube. Now why didn't I think of that?! I did a search before posting, HONEST!
 
A general tip. If you have a 8mm outer diameter fitting, use 8mm outer diameter piping and then heat the piping in boiling water and work it over the end. This creates a very tight connection that will last and not leak. PVC pipe will stretch quite a lot when it's above 70*C or so and contract back again.
