[QUOTE="Tuz, post: 67029, member: 2488"] Well, I got my new pump today, done a quick test on the highbanker and.. still not enough flow. Sick of playing around with these bilge pumps! Petrol power it shall be. I put some chunks of lead in some dirt to test it and it is catching the lead in the top section and blowing the light stuff further down but it's packing up behind the riffles. I have no doubt some of the flaws are in the design so, I might do another design of the sluice section and see if I can get any sort of improvement. Although, at this point, I'm losing motivation along with money that could have been better spent elsewhere. Sounds interesting Casper.. depending on how many you plan on using, it might be a little on the expensive side. Might pay to have a look around and see if you can find some cheaper alternatives or, as tone said, make a mold. Bit off topic there, Scott but it looks like some good ground to sample. You can never over-research. [/QUOTE]
