Hi Carrie,

    Depends on your intent for the tumbler.  If you only plan to use it
    for steel shot and burnishing/finishing work, a flow-thru is not
    necessary. On the other hand, if you plan to use it with abrasive
    media for the full finishing system, flow-thru would be warranted. 
    The fluid in my non flow-thru vibratory tumbler (with stainless steel
    shot) has been downright filthy without having a detrimental impact
    on it's effectiveness. I use it primarily to polish/finish handmade
    rope chains, and it rocks in that capacity! 

All the best,

Dave
