HOW IT WORKS

As the water runs down the turbine housing it hits the turbine blades which are positioned inside the housing at an angle. This causes the main turbine shaft to rotate which in turn drives a double acting piston pump. The pump sucks water through suction valve and pumps it uphill.

LOW-HEAD APPLICATION

Completely self-contained, the turbine is designed to work from a low-head with moderate flows so can be suitable for a river with a flat terrain. The unit needs only a small fall to operate creating its own pressure to power the internal turbine. The pump then delivers fresh, flowing water directs from the source or more distant supply if the immediate source is unsuitable.

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

The turbine assembly is easy to transport, fast to install. It requires no specialist knowledge or tools-ideal for people with limited technical skills. The unit is self-contained and manufactured from durable, high-quality materials, resulting in minimal ongoing maintenance or remote location costs.
