Hookah tanks and sluice questions.

[N-Lionberger]

Hookah reserve tanks, I want to replace my plastic keene tank or add another so I can breath deeper, is there a max size for a T80? Apart from beer/soda kegs are there any other alternative tank options?

My dredge is almost as old as the hills and has these really flimsy latches on the sluice that pop open at the drop of the hat, I saw a fist size rock roll down the riffle ladder and they popped loose. Latching them down is a pain and hard with cold wet fingers, any recommendations on latches/alternative methods of securing riffles?

I want to convert the box to an over under, if using punch plate for the classifier what would be the smallest recommended hole size?

Dredge size, header box style info would help. I like dual sized punch plate(1 size under,one size for the first couple riffles up top. John PS. adjustable slider seperator tray to control water flow to under.

Check your pulleys sizes and convert them to a 2 to 1 ratio. Some older Keene's have over 3 to 1 with a 7" pulley on the T80. If you have 2-1/2 on the pump, then you want a 5" on the T80 as long as you have the motor maxed at 3600rpm. If you run with a lower rpm then you will need a smaller pulley on the T80 to keep it at 1800.
