Choosing a Site For The Papa Water Powered Pump

The pump is fully adjustable to make you of all different flows and heights you need to deliver the water to so most sites with running water will be perfectly suitable. Don't be automatically drawn towards large rivers and streams. It is important to remember that a stream with low flow but which descends quickly can be as good as or better than a high flow with small incline. Don't be put off by what appears to be a 'flat' river or stream.

Select your Flow rate of water and distance the water drops from supply tank to where the pump will be...see how far it could go!

How to measure the Flow rate of your water source;

• The flow rate of your supply water source is easliy measured. This is quantified in terms of litres or gallons per minute. Remember it may vary throughout the year - Papa pumps are versatile and can operate with as little as 0.5 litres a second.

How to measure the Supply and Delivery Head of the supply water;

• The velocity of the supply water is caused by the 'Supply Head', or how much it falls from the Supply Tank to the location of the Papa pump. This effects the height to which the water is to be delivered (from the Supply to Storage Tank - known as the Delivery Head)

Papa pumps are versatile and can operate with as little as 50cm drop.

However, with a high Supply and Delivery Head, a Papa pump can supply water 100's of metres high and 1000's of metres from the Pump.
