[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 172364, member: 357"] Mate believe it or not its hard to buy a bad pump these days. Noone wants the negative feedback and theyll give you yoir money back before copping bad feedback on a ebay account. Ive bought numerous pumps and all but one worked fine. Will it work on yours? I suppose the question is how much water do you need? Width being the biggest deciding factor. Obviously you dont want to be running a 4 stroke flat out to get your 12k liters. Unlike a 2 stroke that thrives on full throttle a 4 will get very hot. Id say if you sluices are within 250mm your laughing mate. If you run deep riffles and 300mm wide you want a few inches over your riffles so a bigger pump while cumbersome can deliver more water for longer at higher altitudes and further from the waters edge. If you're going cheap lifen is a decent low end pump. Then tornado then rato. Good luck with it mate remeber yiu can always adjust you angke to auit whatever you have. [/QUOTE]
