unless that is a "fail safe" technique that is being applied while using the pliars to preserve the non-metal material, than my statement ramains, sir.

Great to have positive feedback. We try our best.

When we have our first ones going in we'll get one then for definite!

He lost all credibility with me when i seen that...

Hi Dane, The source for this system is a spring further back and the water that doesn't get pumped is returned to its natural course. Please see our other videos for more information or visit our website: www.waterpoweredtechnologies.com

The Papa Pumps requires a flowing water source, this is due to needing a supply head as the water pressure in this supply head is what powers the pump. So yes a solar pump would be best to pump the water out of the well to then feed the papa pump, the water exhausted from the papa pump (not pumped) could then be directed back to the well so none is lost. hope this helps, feel free to contact us at: info@wptglobal.net

For your use case, it would be best to simply use your solar pump to pump the water all the way to your water tower. The papa pump is just another version of a ram pump which typically has an energy efficiency of 60 to 80 percent. It doesn't make any sense to pump water to a holding tank to then immediately throw away a significant percentage of the energy you spent in pumping to the holding tank in the first place. Now for situations where you have sufficient natural head, then using a RAM pump makes sense. But in situations where you have to create the required head artificially by using an alternate energy source, then using a ram pump is nonsense.

It is not a well. It is the pump chamber (built from standard concrete rings). There is drain so that the water used for powering the pump is returned to the watercourse to reduce abstraction.

Useless for a well

And a bike is useless if you want to fly. The whole point with ram pumps is that they use available surface water to self power the water pump. If you have no alternative to a well, fair enough, you have to use a powered pump, but if you are abstracting water from the ground when you have an available spring, stream or river, you're nuts. You are also depleting aquifers and contributing to a world water crises.

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies it is illegal to draw surface water for public consumption in many places. You are also glossing over the fact that you need the kinetic energy of water ABOVE the level of the pump to make it operate. At $1,400 you could also use a solar powered pump without the limitations of a ram pump.

Everyone should check if there are abstraction limits in their area, but don't think it is OK to take groundwater and stress aquifers. Check out online how the world's aquifers are stressed by over abstraction of ground water. We constantly say that for the pump to work you must have a flowing water source that falls by at least one metre. The Papa Pump is just one renewable energy solution for pumping water, in some cases it would be better to use wind or solar, but if have a flowing water source this can be an incredibly simple and efficient way to pump water at very little cost. We have put pumps into Africa because the don't have a lot of sunshine (Uganda mountains) and solar panels and metal pumps are often stolen - so the Papa Pump was a good solution. Every situation is different.

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies Don't reply to sore losers!

If the pump becomes fully submerged in water the pump will stop due to the pressure on the exhaust becoming equal to the input

Yes please email us info@wptglobal.net

hello, The pump requires a running water source, as well as a drainage for the exhaust water so is therefore not suitable for well applications

You can, it would take longer to fill initially but it would still work fine

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies thank you, that's huge, I have a 3000 gal tank that will gravity feed my cabin... So this is gonna work for me... PVC prices have quadrupled... Thank you, I intend to buy one...

@@davidkostelny9368 Great to hear, if you email us at info@wptglobal.net we can answer any other questions you may have

No, the point is that you must have a very good seal. It should not only be water tight but also air tight - any air in the system will reduce the efficiency of the pump. Maybe we get PTFE sponsorship though! Just a thought.

You use water from a natural water source, a stream, river or spring. Because you are using smaller watercourses, you are protected from floods. And by using surface water, you are not affecting the ground water aquifers which are already under strain from over abstraction.

From higher than to where you are pumping. It seems like a nice compact version of a ram pump. Also the beating sound is consistent with a ram pump. But no idea what the function of the pressure vessel is in the design...

The water in the pump chamber is drained back to the original water course

It's not the pressure that does the lifting, the pressure vessel is only there to ensure a smooth flow and constant pressure for the pump. The pressure in the vessel is decided by how high up you are pumping to, please see our performance charts here: www.waterpoweredtechnologies.com/calculator/

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies ok but what determines how much water is pumped per second and how can we optimize that

@@ikobi That is the supply head, as in the fall you have into the pump,

@Ik Obi The greater the supply head the more water pumped

That pressure vessel seems different? I don't see it on ram pumps.

Our pumps use our Venturi valve technology to improve efficiency and reduce size. Please see our website for more information: www.waterpoweredtechnologies.com

There is no difference. It's a ram pump. Just uses a different valve, but the arrangement is the same and the principle upon which the pump works is the same. It's nice that the value they use is self starting, but that's all.

We call these channel locks here in the USA. Using them backwards as you were insures that you dont get the plastic fittings tight enough to split them before your wrench slips. So yes you were using them correctly for PLASTIC.

A little negative there Matthew. That is the whole point of zero energy pumps. They use no electricity or fuel - it's better for the planet. And don't forget some people don't have electricity so it is a good off-grid solution. If you are off-grid you can use a dirty diesel pump - not good. Or you can use solar or wind to extract water from a borehole - better, but you are depleting ground water which takes decades to recover. Or you can use the naturally flowing water available to you. And by the way, the water is not wasted, it is returned to the watercourse and reduces abstaction. Would you describe the water that flows through a water mill as 'wasted'? Both the water wheel and the ram pump use the water as power. Of course it is not the solution to every water delivery problem and if you want to use electricity instead of 'free' power, go for it.

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies not negative; pragmatic. You are using a lot of water to pump a tiny amount of water. a dirty diesel pump could accomplish the same task in minutes that your ram pump takes days to do. I never said it wasn't a useful technology under certain circumstances. But the water you use to power the pump is NOT returned back uphill to it's source. Ram pumps have been around a long time. Their uses are many. But there is no magic here. Your video glosses over the facts a bit. In an area where water is precious, this type of pump will waste a lot of water unless you design your field both at the delivery end AND downhill from the pump. You know they make solar electric pumps that waste no water at all right? The ram pump is not the only solution to the problem and certainly not the cheapest at the price you are charging. Of course, someone could build their own ram pump rather easily from hardware store parts, and many have. What is the value of your pump over a home made pump?

The pump is used by a lot of farmers who have available streams and springs in fairly remote locations. They could run a cable down for an electric pump or carry fuel down every so often to top up your diesel pump. But they have decided on putting in Papa Pump which pumps water (albeit a small percentage of the flow) to a storage tank for gravity feeding. The flow isn't a lot compared to a diesel pump but it works 24 hours a day without human interface. Any excess is simply drained or piped back to the watercourse. The diesel pump will do the job quicker by they do not need 'extra quick' water. Not many want to go down to the pump everyday to refuel, turn on or turn off, just so that you can get the water quicker. Not very pragmatic? Not for everyone in every circumstance but a real time saver for some. Also once installed, you save on fuel. And it doesn't pollute the planet. What's not to like?

@@Iceaxehikes Exactly... in areas where water is precious... it's quite dangerous to take to much water from a river, because it might cause big problems lower on the river... so yeah this kind of pumps are great even then, because you're pretty sure you don't use to much water. The "lost " water is returning in the river and feeding plants, or giving water to other humans and animals further down the river.

You're not bothering to think about it there. Imagine a different system. One where you have a turbine powered by the water. The output from the turbine is used to generate electricity, which in turn is used to power a conventional water pump. Obviously, the amount of water pumped would be a fraction of the water used to power the turbine. Would you call the water used to power the turbine waste? I think not. And the same principle applies to the ram pump. It uses the kinetic energy from a large amount of water to pump a smaller amount of water to a higher height. It just does so via a clever application of the water hammer effect caused by a value suddenly closing, causing a moving mass of water to suddenly stop.

You've got a nice big camera there Walt. 200 year old technology! - did you know you can make one yourself? Did you, or did you pay a reasonable amount of money for it? Have a look at our website. It will explain the differences between the Papa Pump and the traditional metal ram pump.

Compared to what? What is Humanity Now? No content on your channel.

What does this mean?

You're right. Not a plumber. We advise that people don't use plumbers as they tend to cut corners and compromise the efficiency of the pump. If you follow the instructions you will have a reliable water pump guaranteed for 5 years. You don't need plumbing experience to install this.

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies anybody can be a plumber hot is on the left cold is on the right and s h i t flows downhill if you can remember these three things you can be a plumber oh and don't hook the hot water side to the shit tank it'll stink neighbor found out haha

It is not plastic. It is a composite of nylon and glass - extremely hard and light. It is a redesign of a hydro ram - for the better - it has a patented new rubber valve which has improved the efficiency of the pump and reduced maintenance. Both of these new features means we are able to guarantee the pump for 5 years. Will you guarantee your $30 dollar pump for 5 years? Good luck. Now I'm off to buy a few wires from the hardware shop to make a radio for $5 dollars - how much do you sell your radios for?

@@Waterpoweredtechnologies lmfao first off "nylon and glass" so its REINFORCED PLASTIC! Theres a reason why even an INDUSTRIAL ram pump is cast iron and all metal parts minus a rubber seal on the flaps... The "home made" ram pumps you can build from parts at a store last farmers 20+ years if they actually put a screen on their intake. Im still dying laughing that youd think a radio is just wires...

well if you think a £20 pump will do the same job as ours, then best of luck my friend

Water Powered Technologies I belong from Pakistan ... We installed few pumps totally cost 280$ US. I will send u Link for details

I would rather you sent a video showing them pumping to a height of 100m!

Water Powered Technologies search. (rahmat ullah kundi) KZfaq . Watch Hindukash hotel chitral hight. Ramp pump delivery 250ft.

This is just a variation on a theme based on old ram pump technology with mechanical parts that wear and break. It's also a lot more than £20. We have installations that pump to well over 100m high 24/7 using patented rubber valves that hardly wear and when they do, they are very cheap and easy to replace. So show us a comparable pump if you want to compare prices. But thank you for the info anyway.

Using them backwards ensures that you don't get the plastic fittings tight enough to split them before your wrench slips. Anyway we don't install normally so this is just a demonstration of installing the pump.
