QUOTE (Mrs.CP @ Mar 11 2016, 07:53 AM)  In my opinion, this unit is used best for cleaning out concentrates and not raw material. For sure. Anything larger than what the Blue Bowl is designed for (#30 mesh or smaller) would scratch the inside of the bowl.... which would be bad. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Mine should arrive today, and I'm wondering about what Chris said earlier about bleeding off excess pressure. The pump in the kit is a 750, and the other pumps I have are bigger than that. Considering moving the valve back and bleeding off pressure, I think I'll try using a Y-split. My thought process is to be able to switch quickly from classifying to running the BB. I'm thinking put a nozzle on the other side of the split. Any thoughts on the utility or wisdom of that?

Eric, I just checked and I'm running a 500 pump, it is just right. I used to run a 750 but it gave up the ghost last year. I would recommend a Y for the 750. Most garden variety Y splitters have a built-in lever style regulator on each outlet. Combine that with a good spigot valve on the main bowl feed and regulating flow will be much easier.

Looks like the links to the pics at the beginning of the thread are dead.
