church, doing WC after WC!

Then you use two on/off valves (available from your LFS) and a
T-junction (ditto) together with some standard pipe (either the aquatic
stuff from the LFS or plain old hose pipe) and arrange it like this :-

B (leads off to waste outlet)

I like it!! I couldn't bring a pipe up to my last tank, so at B, I
connect a garden hose, and C goes to my canister input (A is my canister
siphon). To W/C, I turn off the canister power and open B (and close
another valve just above C). This backwashed my canister filter, by
forcing water into the spray bar and out the input. To refill, I just
pressurize the garden hose (and I open the valve above C to reduce the
pressure on the canister).

If I could run a pipe up, I'd do it like Alan showed, maybe incorporating
the backwash function to the canister again.
