Hi Seth, I hope to be moving onto a piece of land on a mountain with a downward flowing spring stream. I’ve been watching your ram pump videos with interest.Thank you for sharing your journey and knowledge. I’d like to install one of your ram pumps to pump the water to an elevated holding tank, about 4 metres up and approx 50 meters away from the stream.

First question: what size pump would you recommend? ( have I given you enough information?) Second: Although I’m practical, I’m not mechanically minded.I’m a novice natural builder Could you provide a glossary of the terms you use for the simpleminded? Kind regards.

Nice to hear that you are interested in using a ram pump. It is so rewarding to have water on your land.

So to get water to 4 meters you will need.5 meters of head pressure but 1 meter would not hurt. This will get you water to the 4 meters and have enough flow to work with. The 50 meters is not an issue. The size of ram pump depends on the amount of water you have in the creek.

If you have 8 gallons per min you can run the largest pump just fine. The smallest pump needs around 1gpm to function.. As for terms. (my brother in law is reworking my ebook to make it more clear) The pipe that feeds the pump is called the “drive pipe”.

The pipe that takes water to the end location (storage tank) is called the “delivery pipe”. Feet of “head pressure” is the drop in elevation of the creek. Those are the main terms that you need as you work. Other than that you need “waste valve” that is the valve that lets water out and the others are just parts of the pump like ball valves and unions. Let me know if this helps. Dear Seth, I purchased a 1 1/4″ Ram Pump Set last year thru a cousin in Texas, USA.

It operated well in my farm here in Philippines, submerged in a clear pond. However, after sometime both swing valves got busted and the pressure tank was damaged also. So I ordered replacement pvc swing valves sized: 1 1/2″ via EBay but I could not find any pressure tank similar to what you made at land to house. How much per unit of complete 4″” Dia.

Pressure tank? I need two units, so that i can have a spare. Your prompt response is highly appreciated. Miles Fidel A, Evora. That is a good observation.

The snifter valve is used to replenish the pressure tank with air with every action of the pump. My pumps use a partially inflated inner-tube to keep the water from filling the tank. I have started my pumps and let them run for many months non stop and never had an issue with water-logging. If the pressure tank is set on its side you will have water fill the tank some so I recommend leaving it upright. So basically if you have an inner-tube or a pool noodle in the tank you will be just fine.

Interesting questions. I have not worked with a funnel on the drive pipe but I have the suspicion that it would not make a noticeable difference. The drive pipe can only pull so much water and when it is in an unlimited water supply it still only pulls a limited number of GPM at the pump.

My best test so far for height is with the flex tube and 12′ of head. I will have to revisit this test and see how high I can get the water.
