Thanks Seth, once again another great video.

Thanks! Amazing stuff I had no idea I could do. Planning on buying off grid place!

Good one Seth. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills.

Brilliant; I do love this technology; made a few pumps but sadly have no natural water source, so they just sit in my garage. Maybe one day I'll be able to use them. Your videos are very well done and I like the way you present the information. Keep them coming.

I have actually seen your ram pump videos from years ago! I have enjoyed working with the pump for years. Having a creek makes all the difference. Thank you for watching.

Hello DieselJonnyboy: I have a creek and no Ram pump, just the opposite of your problem. Would you be kind enough to share your build plans and parts list? Thank you

Gute Idee. Ich spekuliere damit

In addition to my first question,,, it out in place 4 rain barrels in a series and/or parrell book up,,, what would the results be from the two book up methods compare to one stand alone barrel...???

If I have a fairly level river behind the house with a good heavy flow (but still to shallow for a good river pump), could I possibly put a larger mouth on the intake to funnel water in? Hopefully increasing the head pressure?

Is it possible to operate a ram pump without head by funneling the kinetic energy of a low sloped but fast moving stream into the pump?

How about if you dont have a downstream water...what i have is only a horizontal irrigation canal could it work?

Does the large pressure chamber pipe size determine anything?

So does it mean if you have a level flowing stream, you cannot use the ram pump?

Have you tried 1/2 “ swing valve and 3/4” one way valve? Wondering if the larger one way valve could reduce friction and increase flow.

That might be a fun test. Allow more water into the pressure tank per cycle. I assume if you went too big on the secondary valve it could stop the pump. Worth a try.

Can you turn this off and on like hooked to a faucet Or does it need to run continuously

Help, I placed a 5/8 x 100' garden hose in my stream but no flow out of it. The fall is fairly shallow, could be inches not feet however how do you get the water flowing down the hose?

Can you use somewhat flexible pipe (black poly?) for part of the drive pipe and use hard pipe for the final 25' {or another distance}? What are the tradeoffs (TANSTAAFL applies I'm sure) of such a system?

I have more head pressure so my pump is not working , but pressure fluctuates in winter I'm getting more pressure, in summer less :(

Great Video!! I think my rp is to tall.

@LandtoHouse

Too tall! I guess making a pressure tank with larger diameter and shorter length would help.

I have a very winding creek with a flow very similar to the one in this video. Will I be able to make a pump that can function with out a straight run drive pipe?

@LandtoHouse

4 жыл бұрын

Yes you can use a drive pipe that is not straight. It is better to have the pipe as straight as you can get it but the pump will work just fine with some turns.

It would help greatly if you increase the size of your supply pipe for example the half inch pipe you have supplying the pump should be increased to two in to get more water flow to the pump and more head pressure. Am I correct?

@LandtoHouse

The best effeciency is to use the same size drive pipe as waste valve. however if you have an issue with low head pressure like I do here you can tilt the valve to reduce the closing weight of the flap. This will allow the pump to start with less head pressure. if you go with a larger drive pipe you might run into issues with the valve closing and not reopening.

Can your pump push 300 feet up hill ??

If you use a wider pipe on the intake side and reduce it down so it fits the pump, will the head pressure increase?

@LandtoHouse

Жыл бұрын

No the head pressure would be the same no matter what drive pipe size you have. Its best to match the drive pipe to pump size.

Can you make a drum pump, with ram pump at the end? More fun.

I hope to this summer.

If a ram pump was used without much uphill, maybe 2 ft up per 100, but in a relatively flat yard 100ft from source in a closed pvc loop (300 linear ft), would the pump be effective, considering the closed pvc loop was mildly perforated for a sprinkling/leaking effect (hopefully increasing back pressure due to small enough holes.) Does that question make sense? Will it work? I did not mention pipe diameter, is there a diametere that would make this possible in the delivery pipe

Hi, this is Oneil. I'm living in Canada. And I would love one of your RAM pump.

Oneil Graham I’m not sure what he charges but you can get all the stuff from a homedepot or home hardware. Super simple to build. Check online for the Plans and BOM’s Depending on what size diameter to want it can be built for less than $ 150 Canukistan rupals. (Lol) Fellow Canuck here , from Alberta.

Yes. I also have a few videos on how to build a pump.

could you put a check valve on the end of the hose to see if you get more water bc of the pressure. thanks

@LandtoHouse

4 жыл бұрын

You mean the end of the delivery pipe? At that point the pressure is so low it would not do much. The reason the valve goes close to the pump is to relieve pressure of the water column going up the hill.

@mauroalvarezsi

@@LandtoHouse i do recall you did that on one of your videos and it did put out more water due to being able to build up more pressure. just not sure how much more vertical you can go utilizing check valves.

@LandtoHouse

Oh you mean place a non return valve in the delivery pipe close to the pump. Yes that helps keep pressure off the pump and allows you to pump up a little more.

Can you use ram pump on 30-45 gallon rain barrel as your source..?

@LandtoHouse

3 жыл бұрын

Yes you can. Do keep in mind that the ram pump uses a lot of water to operate. So if you had a 1000 gallons in a tank and used a 1.25" ram pump with 8gpm usage. That tank will be empty in 125 minutes.

Hi why don’t u attach a funnel or a hopper tub to help increase the volume of flow in the water intake?

@LandtoHouse

5 жыл бұрын

From my understanding a pipe with known head pressure will only pull a certain amount of water by gravity. Even if a funnel is added it will not increase the flow rate.
