![]() Like our original X-stream, this model is designed to work creeks and streams or totally submersible with the ability to replace the valve gasket in the field. While in use follow product instructions for orientation of the outbound valve.otherwise you'll get mostly water, not much material. 312.00 GOLD N SAND HAND DREDGE X-STREAM HYBRID PRO The best just gets better The X-Stream Hybrid Pro represents 2 years of development intended to enhance your prospecting experience. Get your bucket fairly full of water from the start and if it's totally under water, set a big rock on it so it doesn't want to float away.Ĥ. Just like with a gas powered monster dredge you'll jam it up if you hog the nozzle.then you'll get mostly water, not much material.ģ. Instead keep it just above or aside the material and let the suction pull your material in. Like any dredge you can't just jam it down in the material.don't hog the nozzle. Lay it aside with water in it until you need it.wet leather seals well!Ģ. Soak the leather pump seal over night at the beginning of the season so you get good suction (just suck some water out of the sink and leave the water in it).and/or when you get to your work site put the whole body of the pump under water and pull a few strokes to get some water in there.

My main reason for disappointment was the amount of material I was actually getting. BGT,5g bucket, Pump, and Shovel is a bit much to carry at once, a handle would help. The lid wont go on but I can toss it inside of my 5g bucket and its no big deal, but the pump itself could use something. The hose can be wound up to fit in the small bucket with the accessories. There needs to be a handle of some sort on the base of the pump to give you a stronger pumping action. It is very awkward to handle all the way around. Disappointed.Im sure some was user error but I was not able to get material the way I thought I would be able to.
