Recirculating Sluice System Evolution

Upgrade After third Field Test

Set--up the evening before. Added a clay settling pan (cement mixing tub) with a wide drain overflow into the tub below where the sump pump was placed.  5" drain diameter was marginal. Had to keep adding water to satisfy pump demand. Removing clay from tub took a lot of time.


Fold-up and Velcro water deflectors worked.
