Recirculating Sluice System Evolution

Upgrade After Second Field Test

Installed 90-degree outlet with a hose connector. Hot-glued covers over pump and outlet. Not shown is a brass tube to keep sand from entering the wire exit.




Added coupler so wire can be pulled through cover. Added push-button on-off switch. Eliminated couplers with hardwiring.




Added vinyl cover to keep water from splashing out. Cut lower end and bent it into a flap and drilled holes in low end to drain drip collection into sluice to further reduce water loss.
