[QUOTE="shivan, post: 69478, member: 194"] G'day Lee, in my opinion the more this gets talked about, the easier it is for others to draw their own conclusion. Everyone has slightly different ways of looking at things, which brings up points others may have missed. I am probably a bit closed minded on the subject, but that probably comes from my reasoning. And like i say i could be totally wrong :o But all highbankers should work with bucketed water, they would not be anywhere near as efficient or effective but they still work, after all a highbaker is just a sluice with a hopper on top to wash and classify. What if i did not connect the hose to the highbanker? Say i had a nozzle on the hose and had someone aiming the hose in the top of the hopper? What about pumping water to a small tank/drum then gravity feeding water to the highbanker? I still think of the pump, hose and highbanker as 3 separate units, that are connected for the purpose of moving water to the highbanker. So i do not see the water pump as part of processing the material, as the sluice processes the material the pump processes the water. The sluice is operated by water which is delivered by the pump via the hose. That is what i mean by the pump being part of the process but not actually processing material, and the highbaker that process the material not being powered by the pump. Again this is just my way of trying to make sense of things, hopefully it will never get put to the test. [/QUOTE]
