I love it. I'm a bucket and hose guy but dang it takes a long time and wastes a lot of water.

I like this setup. No need to sit with my hands in a bucket and waste all of that water.
With this, I stir it up and go do other things while it clears out. Then I stir again. Repeat until the water is clear.

That isn't what it is doing. The water is filtering through a polishing pad.
The pump is in a basket which allows dirty water in, but not the sand. It pumps the water out and through another basket equipped with a polishing pad.
You just need to stir the water every hour and let the pump do the rest.
The water was crystal clear within a day or so.

i have a similar rig running right now at home.
