[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 18788, member: 147"] The rubber flap helps smooth out the water flow and disperses the water more evenly across the box, The bubble brush helps eliminate bubbles which can interfere with pressures created by a vortex and supposedly cause fine gold to travel. They usually put this at the end of the skid plate just before the first riffle. 100mm of expanded mesh across the box before the first riffle will do the same job dispersing the water and bubbles. Personally i recon they're a waste of time in a correctly set up sluice. They are more appropriate to a large scale, high water volume sluice, such as the big commercial units. Good selling point in some sluices though, as you think you're getting something extra for your money, and they use them in "Gold Rush" so they must be good. :o Cheers Wal, [/QUOTE]
