[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 274735, member: 414"] If you can afford a Honda WX15 they are only 9kg and pump around 240 litres/min at zero head ( $740) That is more suitable for a 250 wide sluice but may also run 300 wide depending on the type of mat or riffles you use and slope in the sluice. What type of mat or riffles are you running ? If it's gold hog mats I would say you need a bigger pump than 240 litres with that width , I like to have absolute minimum of 1/2 inch water over my mats and riffles , preferably more like 1 - 1.25 inches but I do shovel hard and fast compared to what most do.
