On vacation i bought equipment without knowing too much about what I was buying. I was told when I was buying my 3 inch combo my pump would handle 4 inch suction nozzle.I bought a keene 3 inch combo with a p160 pump gx120 motor.it has all parts for a power sluice just missing suction nozzle hose and pressure hoses (1900 bucks for what got) not what I wanted because I wanted the monster hog until I realized price quoted didn't have a pump.after doing some research I found out I can only run a 3 inch suction dredge with this pump and my sluice needs to be 14 Inches not 12 inches wide.I was told my sluice could handle it but was given false info.new to mining and frustrated because I want to maximize material ran without upgrading.will probably loose money if I sell. What is your thoughts on my situation

Keep it, run it a bit and see how you like it. That will give you a better idea what you really need. I suspect that a 3 inch will do most if not all of what you want. Just my two cents.
