used one for years now the easy way out is just buy the small one i assume from bcf attatch to a hose dig a hole to the water table and attatch the other end to your pump away u go we have made them out of stainless and poly pipe and pvc unless you are pretty handy this the easy way out dags

Without charging around the internet, whats a sand spear and what do you use it for ?

Mark where are you planning to use the sand spear?

The National Parks Nazis have banned them on Fraser Island. (God alone knows why - its the perfect place for it & now we all have to drink the treated crap from campgrounds).

You could use it to get water on Teewah Beach but you'd probably get hepatitis from the all the human waste buried in the sand.

I've seen them used on Fraser (pre-banning) and they were great, but unless you're going somewhere seriously remote, and staying there, they seem like a lot of mucking around & expense for not a lot of benefit.

just my 2cw. Good luck whatever you decide to do.

cheers

Mark,

This is the patent I refered to in an old thread. It has a good description and diagram.
