How to Install The Papa Water Powered Pump
Having purchased your Papa water powered pump, it is important that the groundwork is carefully prepared - you can do this yourself.
However, you might need help with the groundworks if you do not have equipment or time.
If you decide to install yourself or have a team in to do it; make sure you follow our Golden Rules on site preparation to make the installtion smoother, safer and more effective.
Please see the below illustration of some previous installs to help you with how it works, click on the thumbnail images for an enlargement and description...

Installation Golden Rule Checklist
- Check the site for any public utilities such as land drains, electricity or telephone cables
- The terrain may be important if there is much groundwork to be carried out. Digging rock can be difficult!
- Check your land boundaries before undertaking long-distance groundwork. Neighbours can be very sensitive over such issues but remember, everyone needs water, including neighbours. Why not get them involved!
- Consider whether some form of filter or screening is required. Generally speaking, all but spring water supplies tend to carry unwanted debris at some time or another and a catchment tank beside a stream or river is a straightforward but necessary aspect.
In most cases Papa recommends for each customer to have a professional drainage/ ground works company manage the installation. Please note : whoever does the installation, always check the area for buried local electricity/ water mains and presence of other utilities.
