Have you ever seen a water pump work without fuel?
Meet the Papa Pump®
Water is Life
South Africa is blessed with an abundance of land and sunshine… yet water is our truly scarce resource.
Even where it is available, the cost of pumping it is often prohibitive.
Imagine the power of transformation that water can bring...
At Hydropulse, we believe in regeneration. Water can unblock the ability to improve food security, building resilience and nourishing all aspects life and the economy.
The regenerative journey.. from food security to abundance!

Can Papa Pump work for you?
You need these 2 things ideally:
1. A water flow around 60 liters per minute.
2. A slope of at least 2 meters- can be across a fairly wide distance.
Then a Papa Pump can work for you!
Note: It can work work with less... talk to us to see how.
How much can I save?
SAVE MONEY
It takes approximately 40 litres of diesel to pump 1000 litres of water 50 meters up. (According to Google AI)
At R20 per liter of diesel, this costs R800.
If you do this daily, the monthly cost of diesel is R24 000
and the annual cost is R292 000!
SAVE TIME
No need to fill the pump with diesel or petrol every day.
Papa Pump runs 24/7!
SAVE HASSLE
5 Year Guarantee
Extremely low maintenance - changing "O"-rings every 5 years.
The first self-acting ram pump was invented by the Frenchman Joseph Montgolfier in 1796 for raising water in his paper mill.
Montgolfier is best known as a co-inventor of the hot air balloon.
FUN FACT ABOUT RAM PUMPS
PATENTED VENTURI VALVE - THE PAPA PUMP
In 1996 English engineer Frederick Philip Selwyn patented a more compact hydraulic ram pump where the waste valve used the venturi effect and was arranged concentrically around the input pipe.
Initially patented as a fluid pressure amplifier due to its different design, the Papa Pump was invented.
Additionally to this a large scale version, the "Venturo Pump" is also being manufactured.
How does the Papa Pump work?
Watch Phil explain.
(Phil is the inventor of the patented Venturi valve)
How can I use the Papa Pump?
Agriculture Farmers appreciate how much pumping water costs. They also know the true meaning of "water is life". With the Papa Pump, you can get water you your fields and your pastures for your animals. You can pump water for storage in the dry season. The pump runs 24 hours a day for free.

Rural regeneration This is a true passion of ours! With so many benefits, this is the ideal solution to regenerate our land. With better water access, villages can fundamentally uplift their communities. Enhancing food security is the starting point. Building on that it becomes possible to grow more of their own resources and flourish. We are ardent proponents of regenerative agriculture and would love to introduce these principles in these areas. In this way, the land becomes more and more productive, with life changing potential that also includes economic development - in a planet healthy way. If you are involved in water delivery or a Water NGO, please contact us to see how we can help regenerate our land.
Industrial For locations that have running water or as a way to generate electricity from water storage. Ask about our powerful industrial pumps - the Venturo. Think of the potential cost and environmental savings.

Mining Mines often have massive volumes of water flowing. Our Venturo pumps could be used to pump water out of the mine and/or to power pneumatic tools at a large scale. Please contact us to discuss your challenges.
