this is my drywasher i change to ran water though it.the riffle tray moves 2 in with a 12 volt motor and speed control,it comes out easy. the hopper is screened to about 1/4 in and has a vibrating motor and a spray bar.pivots to dump the rocks.yes i putting a guard on that dam vibrater.the tailing stay in the 5 gal bucket and the water goes on to a fine screen .to get leaves ,sticks,bs then drops on a ramp that goes into 1st of 3 areas,a 1000 gph pump is in the 3rd .the water is pretty clean by then.it uses about 6 gal of of water,iam taking about 20 with me.when the bucket get full you just dump it.tell me know what iam doing wrong so i can fix it,be nice.

Looking at the width of your riffles, it looks to me like you need at least 4000gph. I run 2200gph for short riffles 8" wide. Measure your width, do the math and go from there.
