If memory serves if you have a 2200gph pump running only 1 1/8" hose you really only get about 1800 gph and if you want the full 2200 you need to run the 1 1/2" hose so just remember that. ![]() Also remember when you get above about 1600 gph you need to run the 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" hose size or you wont get full flow out of your pump. A 1250 gph pump works ok with an expanded mesh and traditional riffle sluice at 6" wide, but it's just not quite enough to get the Gold Hog mats working. You should be able to go through Amazon and get a good price on a bilge pump, I want to say the 1600 gph runs about $-2200 will run about $80-$90. I've had good luck with those in our recirculators and they hold up well. ![]() Now by electric I assume 12 volt and not 120? If you're going with 12 volt bilge type pump I recommend the Johnson/Mayfair pumps. If your flow is too slow the mat will just fill up with material and not exchange properly. ![]() At 6" wide you'll probably need 1600-2000 gph to utilize the Gold Hog Matting properly.
