Unless your sluice is quite small/narrow then that pump won't really do at only 100LPM. For around $200 you can get on from eBay that up to 183LPM.

What are the dimensions of your sluice? What kind of riffles are in there? Knowing that might help with estimating required water flow.

Yea my bet is he wants something with a smaller size, lower weight and smaller outlet. The one you linked to is quite large (50cm+), quite heavy (29kg) has a large outlet (3 inch). I understand you don't have to run it at full thottle but the 1000LPM max flow seems like a little bit of overkill. I know a few people do use these but still think its overkill. Just my thoughts.

This is the pump I use..... http://www.rpchardware.com.au/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1155
While testing I ran it full throttle to see the water flow, tested out in the field I ran it idling and am impressed with it so far....

Weight is 14kgs but it feels like10 kgs...

A number of members, including me, have bought pumps from Gavin. He provides great service and a good product.
Handy to get a kit with the hoses included.

How are you going to feed the water into it Jeff. Looking at your pic that looks more of a river sluice and would need to be re designed to feed water via a pump.
