Need opinion on pump for high banker

[NortheastProspetor]

Hey im building a nice little high banker and was wondering what size water pump I need.

The two pumps im looking at are Honda. I know their reliable and quite. I was thinking the WX10 or WX15, The Wx10 seems a little small IMO.

High banker specs-
52" x 10" sluice
24" L x 10" W x 5" D header box
2.5" piping w/ 1/4 holes

The wx15 is rated at roughly 75 GPM. For the Kind of money they want for it I would purchase an engine/pump combo from Keene or Proline. Only cost you 150 more, still a honda, way more GPM, plus it's an actual mining pump.

Just saying if your gonna spend that kind of cash squeeze off a little more for piece of mind.
Just my 2 cents

Ok thank you! What is the difference in the pumps?

Much more psi/gpm/ability to go farther and much higher up from the stream level. Also ability to dredge-go to Proline site and see proper design as grizzly bars are the worst thang possible to dredge on as losses horrific. You must modify(screened smaller) ALL footvalves to get clean water to your spray bars or instantly plugged with garbage. Some dredge footvalves now sold with HUGE screen holes at 1/4" squares to ruin pump,drill holes in sn/pj and bore holes in headers also. Sic sic sic game to increase sales . John
