Tolerance between the rotor and the volute in the 4″ EDDY Pump easily allows the passage of a man’s arm, while the tolerance in a centrifugal pump is significantly less. How? The EDDY Pump’s open rotor design with no critical tolerances will allow anything that will go into the intake to be passed through the discharge without issues. This is not the case with The EDDY Pump since we have the tolerance to pump solid objects up to 11 inches! These scenarios inevitably lead to downtime for pump maintenance, hurting your bottom line. In harsh conditions with sand, sludge, rocks, slurry, normal dredge pumps clog, wear and fail more often. I also plan on using some sort of a float tube or such to make it easier on my back! I'll take a pic or 2 when I have it all together.EDDY Pump is a Dredge Manufacturer – Rent or Buy Dredging Equipment Shown.ĮDDY Pump is a Dredge Manufacturer, we build dredges and pumps. The whole package will probably weigh around 25 pounds or less (not including beverages of choice.Beer!) and fit into 2- 5 gallon buckets. I won't need the large volume pump for the sluice, (the stream will provide the power there). I am going to make an adapter so I can dredge and it will dump into a backpack sluice that I'll put in the streams I'm going to work. The rest of the set up is basically going to be pvc and some 3/4' hose and reducers etc. That and a small, roll up solar panel to recharge the battery and I figure I can get about 4 hours or so of continuous action out of the thing depending on the amp draw of the pump. I am going to use a 12 volt bilge pump and a portable deep cycle power pack like they sell at auto stores. Not a 2 incher, but something a little smaller to help in the cracks and in the holes.

I am putting together a portable electric dredge right now.
