Product Information

The Pump Filter Box 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.

Pump Filter Box for Gold Prospecting, Highbankers & Recirculating Systems

Help Keep Rocks, Leaves & Debris Out of Your Water Pump

Protect your prospecting pump and help maintain reliable water flow with this Pump Box 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.

Helps Protect Your Pump

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

Great for Gold Prospecting Equipment

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

Useful for Recirculating Systems

Recirculating prospecting systems can quickly fill with sediment and debris as material is processed.

Installing a Pump Filter Box 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

Place the pump in the filter box as appropriate for your equipment and make sure it remains properly positioned during operation.

Important Use Information

Always make sure the filter is compatible with the size and configuration of your pump.

A pump filter 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.

Simple Protection for Your Prospecting Pump

The Pump Filter Box 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.
