The idea of the grit guard is not only to allow the dirt and grime to settle to the bottom of your bucket, but also to keep it there. The criss-cross supports on the bottom of the Grit Guard not only raise the grate from the bottom, but also prevent the water from being disturbed under the grate and thus preventing the dirt from being stirred up by the action of dipping your wash media in the water.
