The Pump Sock Pump Filter should fit over most small water and bilge pumps, preventing the intake of large debris and thus protecting your pump. It is especially useful for recirculating systems in gold extraction operations. If the sock becomes clogged with debris, simply shut off your pump, take it out of the water, and use your hand to clear the sock for continued use. Pump not included.
Protect your prospecting pump and help maintain reliable water flow with this Pump Sock / Pump Filter.
Designed to fit over the intake area of a compatible water pump, the filter helps prevent rocks, leaves, sticks, vegetation, and larger debris from being pulled into the pump.
It's a simple and useful accessory for gold prospecting, highbanking, sluicing, recirculating systems, and other portable water-pump applications.
Prospecting pumps often operate in creeks, ponds, tubs, and other environments containing loose debris.
A pump sock creates an additional barrier around the pump intake to help reduce the amount of unwanted material entering the pump.
It can help screen out:
Small rocks and gravel
Leaves
Sticks and twigs
Grass
Vegetation
Larger sediment and debris
A pump filter is especially useful when operating equipment such as:
Highbankers
Power sluices
Recirculating sluice systems
Gold concentrators
Cleanup systems
Prospecting tubs
Pump-fed sluice boxes
Other compatible water-powered prospecting equipment
Recirculating prospecting systems can quickly fill with sediment and debris as material is processed.
Installing a pump sock around the intake can help keep larger material from continuously cycling back through the pump.
This can be particularly useful when processing:
Gold paydirt
Concentrates
Classified material
Dry-land material
Samples away from a natural water source
The straightforward design makes the pump sock easy to add to a compatible pump setup.
Place the filter over the pump or intake area as appropriate for your equipment and make sure it remains properly positioned during operation.

1 – Pump Sock / Pump Filter
Water pump, hoses, highbanker, sluice box, fittings, and other equipment are not included.
Always make sure the filter is compatible with the size and configuration of your pump.
A pump sock can become clogged with sediment, vegetation, or other debris during operation. Inspect and clean the filter regularly to maintain adequate water flow to the pump.
Never allow a pump to run dry or operate with insufficient water flow. Follow the pump manufacturer's operating and maintenance instructions.
The Pump Sock / Pump Filter is an inexpensive way to add another layer of protection to your water-pump setup.
Whether you're running a highbanker, power sluice, recirculating system, or other prospecting equipment, keeping rocks, leaves, and larger debris away from the pump intake can help keep your system flowing and your prospecting operation running smoothly.
It's a great thing for the pump to keep the junk away from your pump and stop it from over heating. I will be getting more from the store when I get my wife her nylon socks as they are the same.
It's a great idea to keep the junk out of your pump and take the headache away from you. You are able to keep your pump running longer and not worry about it getting full of gunk and over heating. You could always use a pair of leggings from Walmart and get the job done as well and it's a bit cheaper, but it is up to you. I'm not putting the pump sock down, but it looks like the socks my wife gets from the store. I love it.
