[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 6776, member: 378"] Hi Matt22, We have used a hand pump/sucker on several occasions. It's a home made one based off an old design using a boat bilge pump (purchased from Bias Boating) and 90mm PVC pipe. I'm in the process of building it as a backpack style unit for easy carry etc. It may cost a bit, I may even get the final tally for you but very much worth it in my humble opinion. Most areas I've used it to clean bedrock and suck crevices clean. It's a very powerful unit and has required a two man operation at times -this is why I'm converting it to a backpack. We actually caved in a brewers keg with it due to the enormous sucking power using 25mm hose. This is why we went over to the much stronger PVC pipe. I'll grab a photo or two for you today (still in the backpack build phase). I have one shot of the results of cleaning bedrock with it also. Kindest regards, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
