Papa Pump®
Powered only by a flowing water source such as a spring, stream, creek or river, the Papa Pump® uses patented ‘Venturi’ valve technology, to pump water to great heights and distances.

Seradisc®
The Seradisc® Filter is better by design − The Seradisc’s unique design has increased the screen surface area, diffusing the flow and reducing the velocity at any given point. This helps prevent vortexing and subsequent cavitation. The design also allows for the discs to be squeezed together or expanded apart, giving you total control over the particle filtration grades.
The parallel structure of the discs in the Seradisc® screen interfere with the circular formation of a vortex forming. The outer surface area of the Seradisc® filter screen is extremely large, so the velocity of water flow at any given point is relatively low. This dramatically reduces the likelihood of a vortex from forming from any point on the outer surfaces.

Sureflow
How it works − Papa Pump example − With a Sureflow system fitted to a Papa Pump®, as the level in the supply tank drops the float arrangement causes the rotary float valve to operate. This allows water pressure to act on the upper side of a diaphragm in the valve whilst venting pressure on the lower side of the diaphragm, thereby closing the valve and thus preventing water flow through the pump.
Conversely, as the water level in the supply tank rises, it will cause the float arrangement to reverse the pressure on the diaphragm and allow the flow valve to re-open, automatically restarting the pump.
At times of low-flow in watercourses, this system will also automatically restrict the abstraction of water when it is below a minimum level in accordance with environmental considerations. This allows the system to operate fully automatically to the mutual benefit of ourselves and the environment.

Venturo™

Hydromentum™
A full system for rain water catchment and distribution using the Papa Pump and other WPT products. The system does not require an electrical connection unlike most rainwater harvesting systems − although a solar or electrical pump can easily be added to increase the percentage of recovered water where required. Connection in both urban and rural environments, the benefits of utilising rainwater reduce the reliance on other water sources and reduce the effect of flooding by retaining water that would otherwise flow into storm drains or river systems.
A smaller domestic version of the Hydromentum RWH could be developed as a valuable contribution to that market. Economic drivers for this in many developed geographies are more likely to materialise pending future legislation for this type of supplement based on a sustainable urban development (SUDS) platform.
There are however likely to be current viable markets for this technology in some overseas regions where water prices are higher and/or water is less available.

Hydronetic
1 − Manufactured from a non-corrosive material.
2 − Utilises a replaceable rubber membrane
3 − Designed with an integral self-regulating air pump to automatically charge and maintain the optimum air pressure within the vessel
Uses include:
− Shock suppression for water or hydraulic systems which utilise intermittent flow
− Potential for domestic and commercial cold-water systems
− Hot water and hot water heating systems (domestic & commercial)
− Utility water supplies
− Industrial fluids transfer systems
− Marine water and fluids transfer systems

Matrix™
The Matrix increases the effective length of the supply pipe so that when the pump valve closes, the mass and momentum of the fluid is greater, thereby increasing the potential pressure increase in the delivery. (A standard Matrix module is 500 mm long simulating a 2.5m rigid pipe length).
As the construction material of the Matrix is rigid, it negates the requirement for steel supply pipes.
