The frostfree nosepump, an excellent riparian management tool, is ideal for dugouts and shallow wells where there is no access to electricity. Cattle pump their own water.

Installation Procedure for Dugout (Pond) - single or multiple pumps
- The water level inside the culvert will be at the same elevation as it is in the dugout (pond). Aim for static level of 10 ft.
- Begin trenching from dugout to desired pump location, leaving a berm of dirt at the edge of the dugout.
- Prepare culvert. Consider a floor in the culvert in the event that it is placed on a sand vein that may drain the dugout.
- Attach 1½" hose into the culvert
- Lower culvert into the trench so that approximately 24" extends above ground level. Culvert must be plumb! Backfill with clay and bentonite. Complete final trenching into dugout and lay hose into dugout - not on the dugout floor. (You might want to consider pushing the pipe through the wall of dirt into the dugout rather than trenching that last distance.)
- Install insulation sleeves in cold climates as insurance against freezing. (Minimum 8 feet of insulation)
- Purchase or build a metal lid for the top of the culvert.
- Follow detailed instructions and video provided to attach pump to lid and install in culvert.
- Install an insulated pad of approx. 20' x 20' around the pump to avoid mud, protect the water quality, and to reduce any likelihood of freezing.
- TURN IN THE COWS!
Spring Development - single or multiple pumps
- To utilize a spring as a source of water it is best, in the interest of preserving quality and quantity, to have the cattle gathering on higher and firmer ground, some distance away.
- This installation is similar to a dugout installation.
- Dig into the spring source and submerge a collecting tank or culvert which will become the reservoir.
- Trench a line from the bottom of the spring reservoir to a firmer sight which will become the location for the frostfree nosepump culvert.
Installation Procedure for New Well - single or multiple pumps
- Locate site for well. Some may consider using a well witcher (dowser).
- Drill 30" diameter hole (for 24" culvert) to water. Determine static water level and capacity of well. Each nosepump requires approximately 2 gallons per minute. Make sure your driller understands the system. The maximum lift is 50 vertical feet to the static level.
- Perforate culvert for inflow at depth of aquifer.
- Install culvert so that approximately 24" extends above ground level. Level culvert. Backfill with washed rock to top of perforations, then clay and bentonite (to seal for prevention of surface water contamination).
- Follow remaining instructions for dugout
Installation Procedure over Existing Small Cased Well - single pump only
- The casing in the existing well must accommodate the 3" cylinder which has an outside diameter of 4 inches.
- Use a method of excavating around the casing down to a depth of 9' - 12'. Install a 24" culvert around the casing so that approximately 24" extends above ground level. The casing must be centred in the culvert and the culvert must be plumb.
- Backfill and pack around culvert.
- Follow remaining instructions for dugout.
Installation Procedure for Pressure System - single or multiple pumps
- Install a 24" culvert.
- Bring the pressure line through the culvert, to a pitless adapter below frost line.
- Attach a float to the adapter.
- Attach a handle to the removable part of the adapter which will allow it to be pulled up to the top of the culvert for any service.
- Follow directions for dugout.
