Siphon Problems

I spent all day watching the grow bed fill and drain while making little adjustments to the siphon and simultaneously cleaning the workshop.  After fixing the forge blower for the 4th time,  I think it is finally done.  The main handle was constantly slipping and regardless of how tight I torqued the bolt, it never held properly.  I drilled a big whole in the shaft where the bolt can screw into.  As soon as that was fixed, I was spinning it and all of the sudden the fan stopped moving as quickly as before.  After I took it apart and replaced a screw that locked the fan to the driveshaft, the whole thing is going nowhere.

I still don't have the siphon dialed in.
