[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 210316, member: 357"] great list mate, number 15 that's a ripper none of that around here..... I start in a spot the next day you will come back to 10 blokes digging right there for no other reason other than you where :) i'm not so sure about the sock restriction myself, i think that setup would create alot of extra work for your pump if you needed any decent volume i'm sure you've worked out where you can use it and where you cant but with my setup i know with my 2.5 inch pickup i tried running a 2 inch foot valve and it was a huge difference in volume capacity and throttle required for volume so i use a 3 inch now and have no restriction mind you a 2cm rock can fit in the impeller without damage :) I'm not saying what you are recommending is wrong just that there are specific devices i.e. foot valves that are made to keep junk out and allow correct flow for each pickup hose size and each size pump. hope that makes sense?
