[QUOTE="goldbug, post: 10198, member: 393"] I think the little Steeltec is a great little pump for small to medium sized higbankers/sluices, and at 6.5 Kilos (dry weight) its easy on the back. I haven't had mine up and running as yet, but a buddy has one and had it going at Tuena a few weeks ago. He was stoked, it had plenty of output for his highbanker, much more than what he really needed even at idle. It was very quiet, that is compared to other pumps he heard going at the time. I guess it comes down to the style of highbanker one has and what sort of volume and velocity is required to get the riffles working properly.. I'm not sure if the stated flow rate of the steeltec is actually correct, I'll have to investigate that, I suspect it may be under stated, which is unusual as most pumps tend to overstate the max flow rate. I think the steeltec would be marginal for the larger width highbankers with hungarian riffles. A few of the forum members saw the Steeltec running at Tuena and were quite impressed with it. Its Chinese and cheap but seems to do the job for my mates highbanker which is a hungarian riffle style at around 8 inches wide. [/QUOTE]
