Nice, what pump did you get? I think I need a better one for mine. I tried different homemade filters different meshes, but I think I just need a better brand it surges a lot and it's not a battery issue I tried that.

20 dollar bilge pump from harbor freight....works awesome
 

ive found that when the 12dc pumps start surging, its because the pumps insides need tobe cleaned,i.e. the filter or debris in the pump housing.

Yeah I shut it off and clean it and it works again but it's a pain I've tried filters. But if the mesh is too fine that makes it fail too. I almost think more powerful pump but then I'd need more than 12v and have to scale flow down. Think ill try some different brands first i guess. Thanks Russau.
 

I tried to post a video but I couldn't get to work....look for hb 20% off coupons in magazines I think I paid 16 bucks for it after coupon
 

I don't think this link works either, it took me to fb then said user not found. Make a YouTube channel
 

hmmm it worked for me.....hmmm
 

Maybe because it links to your fb? Or maybe your profile is set to private? Idk lol
 

yeah link doesnt work I don't have a Facebook acct either tho that I remember believe it or not lol
 

try the link now it said it should work
 

No sir. It'll probably be best to make a YouTube channel :) please and thanks
 

now try it and let me know.....jeez!!!!! hehe
 

yeah it was the privacy settings
 

yup california sluice works real well for the fine gold we have up here
