Details

The Papa Pump provides a cost-effective and innovative method for a range of water delivery applications including off grid water supply, irrigation, livestock watering and humanitarian projects. This globally patented product delivers water 24/7 without the requirement for electricity or fuel by utilising the power of natural flowing water from a spring, stream or river.

Designed with longevity in mind, the Papa Pump uses a patented elastomeric valve which has enabled the pump design to be far more compact, lighter and efficient in comparison to ‘conventional’ cast iron ram pumps.

Manufactured from a modern 50% glass 50% nylon composite, it is extremely strong, rust-resistant and doesn’t contain moving mechanical parts that cease to function over time. The use of the modern composite material increases the durability of parts and reduces costs - for example, replacing the valves is a fraction of the cost of traditional valves.

Features

  • Utilises free water from your flowing water source using no fuel or electricity
  • Simple and cost-effective water pumping solution for farms, golf courses, humanitarian projects, etc
  • Manufactured from a modern 50% glass 50% nylon composite
  • Non-corrosive, lightweight and durable construction
  • Pressure tested to 50 bar - nearly 4 times their maximum working pressure and still remained unbreakable
  • Improved overall efficiency compared to a traditional hydraulic ram pump
  • Designed to operate 24/7 without fuel or attendance
  • Design is based on traditional hydro ram principles using the 'water hammer' effect to pressurise a portion of the flow
  • Patented elastomeric valve
  • Easily installed and maintained without special tools or equipment
  • Extremely low maintenance - no moving mechanical parts (inexpensive valves changed 2-3 years)

Based on the traditional hydro ram principles of using the 'water hammer' effect to pressurise a portion of the flow, it requires a supply flow and head of water to operate, to pump water over long distances and to higher elevations.

Water Delivery Principles

For your proposed Papa Pump site to be viable you must have:

A spring, stream or river with a flow of at least 50 litres per minutes and the watercourse must fall to give you a supply head of at least 1 metre. The supply head is the difference between the highest point of your watercourse and the lowest point across your land – the greater the supply head, the greater the amount of water you can deliver and the higher you can potentially lift the water.
