Danielkrupski said:Mdv I'm gonna try your idea out. I emailed angus about pump size and recommended flow for the boss model. Hopefully they get back to me. I was wondering if you sealed the sides up and bottom to reduce water loss. I want to do something but not make it permanent as I still want to use it as a stream sluice when water is flowing enough. Thanks

Great set up with the pump MDV but have some concerns as to the legality of running these with a sluice/high banker, need to read back through some of the older posts that have mentioned it but believe its illegal to use 'mechanical' devices?
(In Vic anyway).

Hi Tom,
I believe from all that I have read on this and other forums that using a pump with an Angus McKirk sluice is not illegal, at least not in NSW. I understand the reference to not being able to use a 'mechanical device' refers only to the method of extracting the wash-dirt from the ground.
Regards,
Martin

That seems to support what a few others have mentioned previously ..... They work well with quite a bit of flow going through them (need a 'test' pebble to consistently gauge correct flow?).
