Component anatomy
The dome creates and holds the vacuum.
Creates and maintains the vacuum that starts the siphon and keeps water moving.
Prime cycle visible through the chamber wall.
Shows the priming condition and water level so operation can be visually checked.
Vacuum confirmed at a glance.
Displays system condition for setup, commissioning, and monitoring.
Air extracted to keep prime under pressure.
Air is extracted from the pipework to keep the system pressurised and flowing at full capacity.
Geared isolation against ~3 m/s peak flow.
Slow, geared isolation against ~3 m/s peak flow. Slamming a ball valve shut would be destructive.
Steel chamber routes flow between parts.
Main flow chamber connecting siphon components and directing water through the unit.
Internal flow verified at a glance.
Provides a visible check of the internal flow condition inside the manifold.
Non-mechanical, wildlife-friendly backflow prevention.
A passive, non-mechanical weighted flap that prevents backflow. With no sharp impellers or motors, native eels pass through unharmed.
Set the pipe route, pipe size, inlet-to-outlet drop, and obstacle height. The screen estimates how much water each option can move, and what a pump would cost in power to match the same job.
On heavy marine clay in Kaipara, the installation lowered the resting water table, dropped open drain levels, and brought winter-wet paddocks back into productive use.
225 mm resting groundwater reduction reported within four days.
400 mm open-drain level reduction reported at Morelands.
76% reported first-year farm return, based on owner/operator economics.
