[QUOTE="slowflow, post: 115157, member: 1071"] Yobskin have a look [url]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7872&p=11[/url]. Most people run a short section of suction hose before the sluice so it can bend easily without kinks. layflat kinks however you can usually organise a straight run from the pump & minimise kinks. If you have a reducer at the sluice, increase pump RPM a little & the resulting pressure will minimise any kinking. Convoluted hose = flow restriction suction hose = weight and is difficult to pack layflat = kinks (resolvable) packs well. All hose reduces flow through its length therefore it is best to have pump output size to the sluice & restrict there. My observation is that most use layflat from the pump. hope this helps [/QUOTE]
