Ram Pump Extended Waste Valve to Reduce Head Pressure

What can you do if your ram pump needs to be in a specific place and so does the water intake but there is too much head pressure? Well lets explore what happens when you increase the height of the waste valve so that the input head pressure is reduced.

Don't sweat the critics. Losers will always complain about someone else's operation, but never get off their own a$$ to work, help or show a better way. As far as I can see, you are the Youtube authority on ram pumps. Keep up the good work.

Another very interesting video, Seth. I enjoy all your video's. Everyone who watches picks up on something different. Don't let naysayers determine your direction. Us that are interested in learning enjoy your teaching. ALL THE BEST.:)

Actual experience here-
A cold weather ram pump will keep running continuously in sub zero weather if it is in tune and not subject to intermittent stoppage which would cause the pump to freeze and destroy itself.
If it is dependable and runs continuously, it will form a turtle like shell of ice around itself.
It is amazing to see how the temperature of the warm water feeding the pump balances with the cold air.
One caveat though, when the weather gets slightly warmer, the shell thins out and can droop onto the escape valve and if it obstructs the flow, it can possibly stop the action and cause the pump to freeze when the temperature drops once again.

Been there, done that.
Best wishes as you travel down life's road. God has a plan for you.

I appreciate you being so transparent in the videos. I look forward to you getting back into the swing of new normal soon.

Your dedication to shorts and a t-shirt is admirable. Keep up the good work, your content is a mild-mannered and educational breath of fresh air, YouTube is lucky to have you.

You are doing a fine job, Seth. A lot of $hit on your plate. Do what you can. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing man! It's very interesting. I have a drawing of the making of a ram that was featured in a 1960's edition of popular mechanics. I found the article on a micro fiche back in the early 90's. We made a copy of it, but here it is 2021 and still haven't tried making one yet.
I appreciate you explaining it as you go along.

Oh! The cold weather test would be great to see. My husband and I were talking about only being able to use a ram pump seasonally due to being in Ohio. Im interested to see the testing and results! Have a wonderful day

I appreciate how you do your videos, cause you do it your way, and a lot of the time it might be not complicated but we always get something out of them.

Love watching the ram pump videos we’re buying a house in Nc mountains with a stream and waterfall on it and we’re totally going off grid.

great vid as always i have always wondered if adding two pressure tanks to the ram pump instead of one if it will increase back pressure making it easier and quicker to fill the delivery pipe or would it hinder preformance

[danwilliams]

Keep sharing your learnings mate, I know I really appreciate the effort you put in. Great stuff. Cheers

Seth, I'm curious if adding or subtracting volume in the chamber would create the same affects as raising the check valve. Any idea?

Also, Take the negative comments with a grain of salt. While some maybe trying to give constructive criticism, others are just being negative for lack of better things to do. As with the 95% or better of all people watching your videos, I've enjoyed them all. Thank you for your research on these pumps and sharing them with the world.

I really appreciate all your vids, you have saved me a ton of time and I have learned a lot from you. Keep up the great work,

[aubreykirton]

Your video was great, keep posting them I'm learning

[andrewrice]

Im hoping this solution will solve my issues tomorrow. I think at this point I've watched every one of your ram pump videos 🤣 I have a ton of head pressure and cant get it to cycle

[urlicqeldromamakolligjazva]

Nice video.
I see nothing wrong with your videos. Then I know I don't have the exact same conditions you achieved this under and I have the alter them a little. So hey, I'm a human. If it works for and not for me, I'm not going to cry about it, I'll make a work around, alter it in a tiny way. So it does work.
We aren't still driving around in the old crank handles carriages (cars) of the past.
