a pic of my miller/mini sluice setup.. note the bolts in the bucket to mount the sluice and the holes in the filter/bucket....

this is the filter we use on my banker under the end of the sluice to filter out the sand and rocks.. sometimes we use 2 buckets, one smaller and one much larger in our water container to get the rubbish to settle out more... out of the sluice into the first bucket into the bigger bucket and then into the large black water container....
No matter which device you use the first bucket to catch the floaters and the waste overflowing into a second where you place your 12V bilge pump. The water is very cloudy but the sprays need less cleaning.

Bunnings & other home hardware type places have a heap of black poly pipe & corners, joins, T pieces, ball valves & hose attachments in different sizes. There's a couple of pics on my thead about the sluice I got.
I've been waiting for that question. The grubstake is designed so that when the flared area is level the sluice is at the correct angle. A normal water feed would have run off the back so I put a bead of silastic between sluice and bucket. 
I just pull it off when I want to take the sluice away with me.

Can't see why not. If the sluice doesn't need to be level a spray bar would work and no need for silastic.

Len i use a 2000gph bilge from supercheap on my highbanker for cleanups at home using 1" bilge hose. Works great. Highbanker is 8"wide.
. Can also use it on my sluice with my adapter. Sluice is 9"wide
Was thinking of getting a 4000gph pump and adding a ball valve to adjust flow
I know the answer to this is here somewhere among the innumerable pages of posts, but;
Can I use a very small electric pump to recycle whatever water runs through a small sluice? Recycling is good, yeah?
Cheers, and I hope you will forgive me for not spending days and days and days wading through the masses of (often extraneous) posts related to this subject.
Cheers,
