Just how does this work? I can't seem to find anything on the internet.

My understanding is that water & or a grit mix is recirculated through the vibe tumbler by way of a valve on the bottom of the bowl?

Just how is this accomplished? Or, am I way off here?

Is the "Flow Through" just a means of cleaning off the rocks in preparation for the next grit stage?

Does anyone use a "Flow Through System" with their Vibe Tumbler?

Perhaps I'm way off & this type of system isn't for tumbling rocks at all but for burnishing ammo casings?

I'd love to hear any & all opinions, advice & or knowledge on this & how it works.

Thanks as always everyone!

I did find this little tid~bit on an industrial site.

Separate pump and tank placed under the tub's bottom drain.
Water hose leads from pump to tub.
Water and compound can be recirculated between tub and tank, or a flow through operation can be set up.

Reason for the question though was because I just purchase a Thumler Ultra-Vibe 10 & the "Flow Through System" is mentioned in the description but no directions on what it is or how it works?

Thanks for the reply though stefan.
