[QUOTE="HeadsUp, post: 68416, member: 414"] how wide is your sluice ? 7 inches wide or 16 inches wide ? what style / height of riffle in the sluice ? required pump size also depends upon how much head youre pumping ie how many metres in height is it from the water level to the place where the sluice will be set up ? also need to allow for the hose length you might be pumping through , 100 metres of hose has more pressure drop than 5 metres lets assume you are not pumping more than a few metres of head . an average sluice / highbanker might need 100 litres / min for an 8 inch wide sluice 10 - 12 inch wide sluice up to 220 litres / min 16 inch wide , around 300 litres / min the above based on setup close to the water level [/QUOTE]
