If you set it up next to a water source that you can dipper from then move the rocker assembly to the other end of the box so that dirty water etc. drops over the end to the ground instead of into the box. You will still need some water in box as ballast but then all you have to do is drain it when done rather than wash out some of the silt that has settled out of the muddy water that happens when you use it in the recirculating mode.

Good luck.

Awsome sounds great. Again thank you for helping. And another question? Does anyone know if its a good rocker? Does it work good compared to others?

About it's only limitation is that it is smaller than most home made ones but the major positive is that it is a self contained, recirculating unit needing only about 5 to 8 gallons of water. No other recircs anywhere that I have seen. There are only one or maybe two other units sold commercially. The one that I know of for sure utilizes a manual bilge pump so one can pump from a creek or a pond while at the same time rocking the box. Neat concept. Stream sluices are the much preferred units but they require running water with sufficient flow, drop and depth. Not always available especially here in the desert.
