PAPA Pump Uses

There are many 100's of PAPA Pumps operating 24/7 providing long distance pumping solutions for businesses, farms and households all over the world.

See a typical case study here;

Our unique pumps use a patented valve design to extract power from flowing water. Thanks to the valve design our PAPA Pump is proven to have high debris tolerance (up to 4mm) Our pumps only need a small quantity of water to operate; as little as 5litres/ minute so many small water courses can be used.

PAPA Pump can be used to pump and store flood water to replace expensive Mains water;

The PAPA Pump saves energy associated with the cost of electric / diesel pumps and of course saves carbon emissions. By being able to operate in remote locations more water can be pumped and stored when it rains-rather than letting water go to waste. 

Why use a PAPA Pump? Sustainable & Low Cost Irrigation

As with many Agricultural demands, the Papa pump can be utilised as an irrigation pump lifting water from distant streams and rivers to irrigate greenhouses, plantations or crops.

Usually the PAPA pump feeds a header tank which can be programmed to water crops at the required time of day or night through drip feed infrastructure like this image.

With minimal maintenance, your PAPA Pump will operate for many years.

Polluted Water Pumping; Decommisioned mines or urban water courses can be a major source of pollution. Pumping this water can be impossible due to remote locations or the lack of electricity.

 Several PAPA pumps can be used in 'at risk' water courses, where a large % of polluted water can be pumped long distanced to a central location for recycling.

Each pump installation works 24/7 with no power needed and therefore represents an inexpensive and resilient way to help re-use water and reduce damage to water course eco-systems.

The lack of an electric connections means PAPA Pump can operate in areas where there is a high risk of fire and where electrical machinery could cause problems. Please contact us for information.


There are many uses for PAPA Pumps to save Mains water by pumping flood water to be stored and used in drought. PAPA Pumps also reduce energy bills from normal electric pumping systems and can be installed far from mains electric grids.
