The idea i believe is to just stop you putting your hand and wash mitt all the way into the bottom of the bucket and into the grit which will be settled on the bottom. I could be wrong but i dont scrape anything across the grit guard.  :happy2:

^^ you are correct.

Alternatively... save yourself some money and get into the habit only putting the wash mitt it the top of the bucket... and not swilling it around at the bottom.

xjay1337:
I use the 2bm but have never used grit guards...pointless pieces of plastic, dirt can still get up through them...

Pointless IMHO. You should be getting the majority of the dirt off by a pre-rinse spray or a snow-foam solution not through contact washing. If there are large deposits left then something is wrong with your pre-wash procedure IMHO.

gobbleplease:
I like the fact your hose slots in to the middle piece it saves you holding the hose to fill the buckets, as said you don't really need them as you can just use the water at the higher level. I've got one in each bucket and if didn't get them with the bucket I probably wouldn't of bothered

coolhandluke:
Thats why I have never really bothered with one as I always lift the water from the top of the bucket.

Scottymon:
My two monster buckets came with grit guards so I use them, I do see fine silt at the base after washing, but would probably see this anyway.  As someone else said a decent pre wash foam and rinse will see most nasties away.
