Recirculating mode of operation is used when either environmental effect is in question or when access to water is limited
(I.E. desert, high banking, creek side). The 5 gallons of water in the reservoir recycles as well as stabilizes.
In the re circulating mode, the Gold Cradle can not lose gold on it's own.
When in very fine gold area, if the primary matting has packed up, install a slower feed classifier insert then consider cleaning the mat more often.
If there is so much gold that some fines could still possibly be escaping, re run tailing tray and quickly call 503-357-3697 :) .
