I was asked to do a review from G0lddigg@ of this pump so here it goes.
http://www.rpchardware.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1155 <---The Pump with Price and Specs...
Testing was done at home and once I had figured my hoses out and how to prime it, fine tune it - it worked a treat of course I hadn't taken it out in the field and was happy that my Brother came for a day out with me and the two young ones Jacob and Kiara because he had worked with water pumps before in his line of work.
We finally got it running and purring along and it was awesome, ran with no hickups and after each cleanout which was two hours it started straight away, idling it until water flows through to highbanker then letting it rip before letting it Idle again and see the flow of water was perfect for the area we worked and the fine gold.
A big thanks to Hardyakka for selling me a high quality Highbanker which I made a small adjustment to so that the water could flow a little better.
Since it is my first Waterpump out of a 10 I'd give it a big fat 11 but that may change after several trips into the bush.
My Brother said man these pumps are awesome you can wash it with a hose because they are sealed tight....he should know because he worked with them as I mentioned before in this post.
Golden days ahead.....oh btw we managed to pull about 1.5 grams of fine gold out of the creek we were in.....split two ways we're not going to be millionaires but we had an enjoyable day and seeing the look on my two young ones faces when they panned down and saw gold in the bottom of their pans Priceless.
Of note when we first arrived my Brother said....where are you going to get gold in there and I said everywhere bro....I took a pan, sieve, shoveled two scoops of gravel in and panned it down, 7 pieces of fine gold and the look on my brothers face...Priceless again.
Oh btw I did my offering/giving of binded feathers and a rather nice piece of quartz and watched it float down the stream a ritual I will be sure to follow of the coming months and years.
Cheers Arthur
