[QUOTE="Smoky bandit, post: 474154, member: 7289"] Hi All. I was contemplating making a Pvc pump that will transfer fine sand /gravel to a bucket.The place I was going to use it has alot of flour gold in the gravel beds of the creek. My intention was to have only 5mm holes drilled into the end and to just suck out the flour gold and fine sand. The set up will pump straight into a bucket. My question to those that have used this type of set up is does the gravel wear out the plunger or the side wall of the Pvc very quickly . Do you recommend using a yabby pump with the ball valve conection on the end. And would you recommend using ball valves or brass flap type valves. Thanks in advance. :) :beer: [/QUOTE]
