    A straight shot of water into the hopper is way better than spray bars when using small bilge pumps e.g. 1,100 GPH. It creates a boil effect at the front of the hopper box and saturates the material. Nice Gold Fox unit! Chris - are you still planning to use your Gold Rat machine, or has this new one replaced it?

    You might also consider (since you are into modding anyway) making your hopper a little flatter (and maybe larger) and giving the water more time to work the clay like a 'slush box' as they used to call it around here. Were it me in that, I would even think about making it a 2-stage rig, putting more than one layer of expanded with an inch or so gap between with smaller expanded on the bottom, for the water to blast that clay through. IMO clay is just more more more in as little space and effort as possible. Heavy pans brother!
