Start the Ram Pump for 2023

What is the size required to pull up the water for high of 10 metres

Hey Seth, great video! I'm curious, could I use your ram pump to pump water back up to a storage tank to make a closed loop micro hydro system? I have a 1000 litre storage tank that is at the halfway point to my run of pipe (100' or so) where it then falls deadfall through the pipe to my microhydro turbine about 40' below (creates great PSI this way because I have such a short run. I'm thinking if I could use a ram pump to use water to pump the water back up to the 1000 litre storage tank, that would get me through times when there are smaller amounts of rain. I live by the sea as well, and I could easily pump sea water up to the storage tank as well. Thoughts on how to use your ram pump to do this?

This is the first time I see the video on this device, I absolutely love it.

Good job Friend....careful planning

Well done sir,simply brilliant

I think you should put a car tire valve on the top of the pressure tank. That would allow using a basic bicycle pump to fill in air into the pressure tank as needed. That should allow using much smaller pressure tank, because you can match the pressure in the tank with the pipeworks height.

You can probably also help starting the pump by cracking the output valve open ever so slightly. That will allow some water to fill the output pipe and keep enough backpressure to allow the pump to stay alive without enough water in the output pipe. The the see-through pressure tank you know that the output valve opening is good when the water level stays about the same.

Thanks for sharing ram pump👍

Awesome videos and great info! But I'm curious why you charge so much per pump? They can be made for a little over a 6th of the price I see yours on Amazon. Not trying to be rude, maybe shipping costs are crazy or something for you but I'm just wondering.

what if the pressure pipe is like hearth, balloon in round, flat bike tube do nothing much

Have you ever checked your silt bucket for gold dust?

What’s inside the cylinder?

Awesome video. I’m totally new to this and this video covered a lot.

unfortunately it is Currently unavailable.on amazon

😢❤

very good system bat i want have for the french

Thank you for sharing this with clear & concise explanation..Appreciate very much 😊

I can’t even get our 1/2 pump going. I don’t think I have enough head pressure. Not sure though, sometimes it’ll work for a few minutes then stops. I have to also keep the waste valve turned sideways some. Sent an email and no response.

The delivery pipe is is probably 10 ft tall and the drive pipe drop is about 3.5 ft. I can lower the delivery pipe no problem. I’m thinking my drive pipe pressure isn’t enough. But not sure.

Hello I'm interested it purchasing one of your ram pumps but have some questions. If I get the max size pump can I adjust the water out flow? My problem is my quarter acre pond is low but does hold water well. I want to fill up quickly when needed then the rest of the time just trickle water for a constant flow. Sorry for the dumb questions I'm new to this and was gonna purchase a sump pump for my problems but this is such a genius idea

I could really use a pump like this on my off grid home ! I have a year round creek and would love to take advantage of it ! The problem is the cost of your's is to much for my limited income ! I know you sell them to make money but was wondering if you could for diy people like me list the parts to build one ! I understand if you won't, have a good day
