Model 625 HDP Bilge Pump - Gold Hand Dredge
High volumne hand powered bilge pump GOLD Hand Dredge. Makes for rapid draw downs of standing water laden with "Anchovies" (as in bait tank) silt, sand, rocks to 1 1/2" and GOLD. Great for working in unstable confined spaces too. Like when rafting through GOLD Country. With approx. 10 inches of stretch it delivers upwards of 57 cu. inches or 32. oz. of water with each stroke enabling you to easily pump 25 gallons per minute (See YouTube 32 gallon Video). Pulling the handle can more than double the mechanical force of incomming water compaired with siphoning thereby improving gold recovery from cracks and crevices.
The Model 625 delivers head too, capable of pumping water uphill, limited to your strength to push water against gravity and itself.
Zero pull resistance means less operator fatigue issues. Shorter stroke from any position means faster cycling compaired to standard canoe/kayak/boater hand powered bilge pumps. Heavy duty bellows won't collapse during even the most intense pumping activities. Want to see water move, then this is the bilge pump for you!
Good lift figures, an adult of average strength gage tested the Model 625 BP at over -10 in/hg, which translates to more than 11.3 ft. or 135 in. for water lift. A standard well pump max's out at 34ft. and that's with a pinned handle that allows for leveraged pumping.
Standard intake piping is (2) 18" sections with a locking telescope collar to give over 3 feet of depth, the standard length discharge hose is 3 feet. Different configurations and lengths are available on request, additional charges may apply.
Unique design eliminates sand fouling in the telescoping pipe assembly and the 360 degree swivel elbow bearing adding to the ease of operation when hand dredging for gold.
Also included are: a 1 1/2" multi function steel reinforced rerstrictor nozzle, Model 625 sipper/seive safety trap end cap for dewatering and trapping any whatever that was to heavy to suction out, an auxi1lary 1 1/2" coupling, a protective cover and a large sand bag for dissassembled storage and gravel collection.
