PP1 – Groundwater monitoring veteran

Waterra is focused on providing equipment that is rugged enough for field use and durable to give a good return on investment, and here’s the proof.

The very first Waterra Powerpack PP1 to be sold back in 1998 has just come back into our workshops for a service and it’s still going strong – 12 years later!

The PP1 actuator, which is designed for use with Waterra Inertial Pumps, was purchased on 27th March 1998 by Devon Waste Management.  The company own a total of four Powerpack PP1’s for groundwater monitoring sampling and monitoring at landfill sites across the South West of England.

This particular unit is still used for day to day groundwater sampling, as well as being part of the rental fleet.

Tim Davies our Sales and Servicing Manager (see photo right) commented that, “Despite the potential for a bit of “rough treatment” while on hire this PP1 has shown that with regular servicing and maintenance these units are very long lasting.”

The Powerpack PP1 actuator provides a fully portable, single operator unit powerful enough to lift water with Waterra inertial pumps from over 60m depth. Companies like Devon Waste use the PP1 because its compact design allows it to be carried to places that many other pumps just cannot be deployed.

Groundwater Monitoring Training - A Great Year

Waterra UK Ltd. have just completed another successful year delivering their CPD accredited groundwater  training courses across the UK!

Over 85 delegates have attended our two training courses held at a variety of venues around the UK during 2010. The two courses, covering groundwater sampling methodology and the use of dataloggers for monitoring groundwater levels, have been extremely well received.

A lot of comments have been particularly positive about the hands-on nature of the workshops.

"Good balance between theory and practice.  Excellent demonstrations."


"Very good to see a wide range of water sampling equipment presented with practicality and knowledge"

Waterra are the only training provider in this field with CPD accreditation from the Geological Society. Peter Dumble, Chartered Hydrogeologist and MD of Waterra says:

“This hard-earned accolade is only achieved by delivering impartial information on groundwater sampling and monitoring methods. We don’t promote any one method of sampling or type of equipment and our courses provide hard information, experience and choice.  We are happy to share our knowledge of what works in practice and highlight what's new in research and development from around the world."

"We are currently planning our course schedule for 2011.  We hope to add new courses to meet the demand for better training in groundwater monitoring practice. So look out for new courses in 2011!"
