YES. The black thing is a tri-jet. The footvalve is just an intake to get water to the pump. The footvalve is the gold thing under the dredge. That's a 4 inch footvalve. A 4 inch footvalve is for 5 inch and 6 inch dredges. A 4 inch dredge has a 2 inch footvalve. The green 3 inch hose comes off the 4x3 pump and blows hi pressure water into the back of the tri-jet. The oval part is the collector canister of the tri-jet. There are 3 tubes going forward off the canister. One on the top and one on each side. Tough to see them in the picture. That's the three tubes that blow hi pressure water into the jet flair.

The tri-jet was what I was wondering about. Haven't seen one of those before. Have you had a chance to try it out?

Nice looking unit. I'm curious how does the venturie work? Does it have a "foot valve" to direct the flow to the sluice? Ted
Is that a dredge or a howitzer? SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
