[QUOTE="Occasional_panner, post: 339081, member: 7956"] Another thing you could do is have a hinged gate that holds the material in the hopper, when you are happy with how it's been washed lift the gate up and let it drop out. That would be good for clay areas. Probably would suit your hopper really well as it's so deep. BTW those spray bars have backward facing slots cut in them and as per gold rat does with the black poly pipe I give the slots a gentle go over with a blowtorch, that opens them up a tad and gives a rounded surface that is probably less inclined to clog up. As you can see from the leaks in mine I just put it together with screws so it can be pulled apart for cleaning. A couple of turns of duct tape on the male ends before assembly stops most leaks with a tight fit (not done in that vid). My back spray bar with the 3 jets now sits a bit higher too to allow for a shovel to go in and scrape out material. I'll take another pic tonight. [/QUOTE]
