turn a two inch trash pump into a dredge

it comes with just about everything you need to get “started”. We like the Champion 2″ as far as “cheap pumps” go. Rocks, sand and gravel, up to about 1/4″ – 1/2″ can pass through these based on the pump. Most 2″ and 3” semi trash pumps are rated about 35 – 42 psi. Semi trash pumps will move large amounts of water with not too much PSI. Semi trash pumps and high pressure pumps. There are really two types of pumps for prospectors. I wish you had a link under the “pump section” on all of your Highbankers of the recommended Pump that will work for dredging also with your Highbankers. I then realized that some of the Trash Pumps only have 38psi. Is this because of the PSI? The HydroForce Nozzles require 40psi. You state in your video that a Semi-Trash pump will not work for dredging. She just had to power through the silt.We get a lot of “pump” questions, so I figured I’d grab some posts from the last year and put them into this post. My wife got stuck in our marina at los tide last time we were out. Unfortunately that much flow doesn’t happen where we are at. If you have good flow I know a lot of guys that just take an outboard out there and blow it into the flow. DONT GET CAUGHT. We are all dealing with it all over the delta.

Probably pretty sweet for bulking out an area, but inable to get into corners and underneath docks. When looking into this a while back, I remember coming across this thing. Piranha pumps seems to have a pretty cool, and cost effective, rig to do the bulk work and Y attachment to do yearly maintenance after that. I estimate about 750 cubic yards of sediment to get back into operating shape and then a yearly once over after that.Īnyone have any experience using one of these or had success with another product? Thankfully we are the second house from the opening and would only have to dredge about 300 linear yards. We have 30+ homeowners on the island and getting them to all agree to do hire someone to do it commercially every 10 years or so is like pulling out your hair especially since a lot of them don’t use the back slough and therefore don’t see the value. Probably around +3x of sediment, which makes it pretty much unusable except for a really high tide. Our back slough has filled in pretty bad over the last three years.
