These pics are from "J" of Alberta, Canada, and the setup was on one of the many rivers in British
Columbia, where he was running these 25,10 and 1-micron bag filter units together. Each unit can handle
about 80 GPM, at 90 psi, as they have supporting baskets inside, steel exteriors. Pump is unknown, but
probably a 450GPM, plus a suction hose, foot valve, anti-backflow valve and assorted connectors and
here, a flat delivery hose to each unit, w/ shutoffs.  
He reports this is an average river in the area, bearing micron gold, powder gold and gold
sediments...most cannot be seen without a "loupe" or microscope.  He says that this water averaged about
1 cent per gallon , after leaching the bag sediments.  
He is now building a trailer-mounted set of larger bag-units, and a diesel pump to process over 1,000
gallons a minute. He reports that the leach system we described in the "Homemade Halox" worked great,
and has his gold in hand...and obviously looking to recover more.  
He advises all Americans to "Come on Up", , this is obviously a retirement income, no matter how old you
are

Please Check with Local Authorities for restrictions or permits  before placing filtration units.
