Full Ram Pump Install 1-1/4'

Full Ram Pump Install for a 1-1/4" system. In this video my friend David and I install a large ram pump in his creek to bring water to his cold dip tub. The supply line is 1-1/4" pvc bringing water down 3 feet of head to a filter bucket. This bucket allows silt and debris to settle down on the bottom and not enter into the pump. The drive pipe is approximately 30 feet long. The pump is working on 3 feet of head pressure and is lifting water to 15 to 20 feet.

Happy to finally see someone who uses Water Pump pliers in the right direction

One of the great things about the way you made this video other than great content, is that you were talking about the pump and how it works as you were preparing to install it.For any additional information or visuals needed, you inserted a short clip about making the part.
You could give lessons to all the guys who video the entire process of cutting a pc of pipe and then holding it up to the camera for a full minute showing all of the sides. You nailed it perfectly.

I’ve watched your ram pump videos over and over again. I made my own following your guide. Thank you so much I now have water going into my tank. No power or petrol. Very proud mum of my first ram pump!! Look forward to more from you. Cheers 🍻 from New Zealand 😁👍

This new learning amazes me, Sir Bedevere!

I watched a clip of making Ram Pump from Thailand. I saw the effort. And your talents, I really appreciate it. Another clip that is worth watching. I hope there will be more new clips coming out for you to watch. I appreciate it.And if possible, use larger PVC pipes and replace the check valve with a larger one. Air compressor that does that Grow it by 4 to 6 inches. It may increase the water pressure up the hill to get a large amount of water accordingly. Go up and try it. I appreciate it again.

Spin your fittings when pressing them on. Prevents streaks in the glue that can leak.👍

[markcollard]

Always nice to have a good friend to do all of the work while you film it huh?

[josoffat]

Oh, gives me an idea to pump it to a rain barrel then overflow into the tub. That way I have a nice storage of fresh clean water 👍

For your filter, ditch the drill and saw slots in the pickup pipe for a simple filter without the need of an extra screen. I recommend a hacksaw width blade and saw about half way through the pipe with each slot

Hooray, the perpetual motion machine has been invented. By the way, there is a huge prize for his invention. What is the author waiting for?

[barrymilam]

You guys did good. I like the fact you put in the five gallon bucket to get rid of the air which helps the check valve cycle the way it should. I've seen a lot of videos on ram pumps, but your the first to use the bucket and it makes total sense. I've been a plumber for 48 years and I like learning new things. No I haven't built a ram pump yet, but I plan to.

[mariarosaasmar]

Thank you very much. I plan to build one for 1) filter the swimming pool 2) sun warm it 3) water the corn field with the waste. Wish me luck

[penpensupendi]

What a good thing to use in life, thanx

[larrybrigs]

What is more effective others are using double check yours are much simple

[timesurfingalien]

Install a holding tank. Like your own little water tower. Idk if a 2nd pump near the top of your hill would help. Seems like it would
