Recirculating sluice box question

[mattisdell1983]

Hey guys, its me again lol. Just a question. I built a recirculating sluicebox using my royal 30" sluice box. I bought a 1250 gph bilge pump to power it and have the thing setup at the right angle of 2-1/2" to 3" and with everything at full power the thing just doesnt get the water flowing like it should. I am using a 7 year old marine deep cycle battery that has been used alot but im not sure if thats the problem or if there is something else the matter like hose size, etc..Can anyone take a look and see what might be the reason for the slow water flow? thanks alot, Matt

p.s. I am open to any and all suggestions

here is the youtube link

I would get a bigger pump an new battery and that should be the only thing you need to change. I would class down to 1/8 or smaller for that small sluice. The spray bar looks fine. Judy need more gpm. Good luck.

Why don't you just hook it up to your car/truck battery real fast? Are you in your garage doing this?
