Selecting the right Ram Pump Size

This video was filmed to go on the Land To House Website as a way to help select the right size ram pump. I also talk about Unboxing the pump as well as Drive pipes and Delivery pipe connections and material type. The video might not make sense as a stand alone video on youtube but should on the website.

Ram Pumps available on AMAZON

Keep Calm and Ram Pump On 😎 I always enjoy these videos about the magical pumping thingy. 😁

This is great! How I wish I had known. I would have been a successful farmer in my village. We have streams, creeks and rivers all over in my country but we lack the these simple techniques to make use of the water. Thank you! I am very highly inspired.

Thanks for the great info source -- great job !
I'm looking to push water up about 150 - 200 ft through about 250 ft of hose. I have plenty of gpm, and can find the required head pressure (1-7 = 25-30 ft), but wanted to ask if this was beyond the capacity of the pump in terms of height...

Hi, past buyer of 3/4 in ram pump. Love it, love it, but as we are close to ocean, starting to see some corosion. Can you make me a stainless steel pump? Thank you either way, love the pump so much, truly a wonderful contraption.

Thank you very much! I'm in Spain and I will definitely try this! I have a question, does the preassure tank affect the preassure of the system? I mean If I increase the size of the preassure tank will it matter or just a regular side one will be enough. Thank you!!

I have watched a few of your videos but you never get past the size of about 1” that I have seen. I wonder if you couldn’t make one big enough to run a generator. You always talk about head pressure. How about using a lake. That is a lot of head pressure.
Thanks
Bernie

Confused have a creek the pump needs to be lower then the creek level ??? Wont the low spot fill with water drowning the pump ?

[oldmanwinter]

Thanks Seth for making the great overview video. Nice to have as a reference so I don't have to waste time looking up various specifications. Very best regards from the Pac Nor'west.

If you reduce the output pipe size to 1/2", would it reduce the required input flowrate from 8 gpm to 6 or 5 gpm?

[henrylifuka]

Good morning sir, thanks so much for the videos i have learnt alot from the. Now i want to find out if the ram pump can be used draw water from the well. Am from Zambia.Regards

Hello Seth, I was curious to know if this system, or say out take hose delivering water can be adapted for use to supply water to a house? the idea here is to use a cement 1500gl cement cistern 40 feet above the house and then attach the Ram Pump in between the pvc to the main water copper pipe that supplies water to the house. The ram pump would be doing the job of a water pump to supply presure to the house for everyday use of water for showers, laundry, and bathrooms. Do you think it would work????

[linomontalban]

Thank you for sharing this knowledge sir ❤

[ShadoDmon]

was think of what happens if you put two ram pumps in series. or even two "pumps" attached to one waste valve either before both or in between them. so feed pipe, "horizontal valve"(<this one optional), air tank, horizontal valve, vertical valve, air tank, horizontal valve, exit pipe

[helgapipai]

I admire your tutorials.they Assist so mega ! Just a qstn? 'What would be the estimated appropriation for the pressure cylinder: Is to: valves? Cylinder tube height width diameter, its performance relating with what valves size?

[rogergordon]

Hi there... I want to use a Ram pump in a creek located in a Savannah like setting so there is not much of a drop. The creek has a good flow. Would a bigger drive pipe like a 4" or 2" increase my elevation... My elevation is 30 feet

[k.shultz]

Can you use a ram pump on a well?
Water in well 24 ft from surface grade.

[triclosan-devimpexindia]

Ram pump works inside water tank water level of water inside tank is 5 feet. Ram pump works or not inside 5 feet x 5 x 5 LBH space

[hour]

Can this ram pump design work without the pressure chamber? Neglecting the "ram" dampening part, will it still function as a water pump?

[garybaird]

Hi L.T.H. what will happen if you connect a water line to your wast valve and can you put the wast valve @ the end of line ( after the pressure tank) ? Gary
