The Dirt Lock Insert uses directional channels and a venturi-style flow to pull contaminants beneath the screen on every dunk, allowing you to work with clearer rinse water without adding pumps or accessories. Built from high-strength resin in Canada, this insert fits most round 3–8 gallon buckets and locks into place for durable, professional-level performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Dirt Lock Insert keep grit away from my wash mitt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe insert’s top screen and angled channels guide water and debris downward.
