The PowerSpout PHP (Pelton Hydraulic Pump) is a water powered water pump. If you have a small falling stream and want to pump water to a higher tank (up to 200m) for domestic and stock water then this may be the perfect solution.
A PHP pump has the following advantages over a traditional water ram pump:
- Quiet operation
- Low cost plastic penstock can be used which is also light and easy to work with
- Pump different water to the driving source
- Penstock can meander down the riverbank
- No heavy concrete foundations
- Can pump from a small stream with a heavy silt burden and suspended grit particles without the need for a settling tank
- More than 1 PHP can be stacked on a common penstock, so only 1 size needs to be made resulting in a much better economy of scale and final retail price
- The same PHP unit be used on a wide range of sites as the cam offset (stroke) is adjustable
- Lightweight under 18kg
- Runs without the need for a shock absorbing dampener
- Oil lubricated for a long life
- Typical efficiency much higher than a water ram (at high heads)
- Flow is easily adjustable to meet specific needs
- Maximum lift/fall ratio >70:1
