Its all gravity. Put water in the bowl and water goes out the hole in the bottom and up over the trap that is holding it in. All you are doing is adding enough force to push the water in the trap out and over down the drain.

These pumps are great in a pinch when you have to dump up hill or in a residential situation where you have to use a drain or toilet to dump your waste. Work wonderfully.
Assuming you use a lot of water. These things need a lot of water to work properly and the smaller the line you are dumping from, the more water you need to get it to work without solids building up in the tank.
