Our original Zelda 1 was developed in 2009 to 2010. Zelda 1 was large weighing in at 9000 lbs and able to pump 500 litres per revolution. Zelda 1 proved that the early design had potential but the difficulties to implement changes due to its size and scale, it was decide to create a much smaller pump and return to Zelda 1 at a later date.
