Air without Compressor 7935 7
Started by matt@rtmdesigns.com
I find myself in shallow water quite a bit with my 2' dredge and use my standard old snorkel to float on the top and stay in the water. Is there any way to extend snorkel to go a little deeper A couple of feet maybe I thought about a pvc pipe that the snorkel attaches to, use the 3-4' pvc and an innertube to float it straight up and down, and adjust the depth to the snorkel with the pipe in the innertube and a sock on top of the tube to keep bugs, leaves, trash out... any ideas ...

Dredge Jet Log Sizing 2958 2
Started by c.butters74@gmail.com
I'm attempting to piece together a smaller 2.5-inch dredge with a power jet. I go to Keene's website, where they offer 2 separate jet log sizes for a 2.5-in. They have it with a 1.25-in jet log, as well as a 1.5-in. What is the difference in performance between these two otherwise identical parts I am using the Honda GX200 6.5hp motor with Keene p180 pump. I am aware this is well above the necessary power required in a perfect scenario. I'm more concerned about whether the larger jet log prov...

Power jet, supply size. 3977 1
Started by c.butters74@gmail.com
I've recently upgraded my highbanker to a much larger size, and with that bought a new Honda keen 180 pump. My port supplying water to the dredge is 2in. I'm wanting to dredge with this but I am not sure why there are 2 different size options for the 3in power jet. They offer it with a 1.5in supply port as well as a 2in port, but I'm not exactly sure why, or what difference in performance this change makes Any experienced information on this would be great.

Priming a Keene P185H pump 4647 4
Started by jim@northpinesgold.com
We have a Keene P185H pump with a Honda GX200 motor for our 3' dredge. The motor runs like a champ. Our question is what is the best and easiest way to prime this pump. We fill the intake hose to full capacity with a small electric pump but still it doesn't pump any water. We put the foot valve up stream to try and keep the intake hose full. The foot valve has a one way flapper in it to supposedly keep the water from draining when the pump is shut down and it seems to be working however we...

I'm wanting to clean out stock tanks or ponds using my dredge 4128 1

Hello everybody, I'd like some opinions on using my pumps and hoses from my dredge to clean out the sand and sediment from my father-in-laws stock tanks on his ranch. I have two of the p180 pumps and since the material I have to move is just sand and silt I was wondering if i might get better results if i use a combination of a power jet and a suction nozzle. I'd like to do this for him as he has to hire a guy to come in with an excavator every few years to clean out the sand and silt that washe...
