Start the Ram Pump for 2024

The Hydraulic Ram Pump was turned off and drained for the winter to keep it from freezing. Now that spring is here its time to start it up for the 2024 season of ram pump testing. I walk through each step of the startup beginning with the screen intake. This needs to be dug out and the silt removed to allow water to pass. I drain the silt out of the filter bucket and get clean water filling that back up. I get the drive pipe full of water and start the ram pump cycling. It can take a while to get the delivery pipe full of water up hill. Lastly I walk the delivery pipe to make sure that the water is getting to the top of the hill. The large storage tank is working well and ready to hold 330 gallons of water.

Outstanding explanation of how the ram pump works, especially with the clear pressure tank. Well done sir!

I started to get worried last week, as there was no Ram pump 2024 yet. But finally, it's here! :D Ram pumps on this channel are the best!

[GamerLudwig]

Glad to see the pump is still going strong

[jimginnyohio]

It’s alway fascinating when that valve starts clicking away on its own!

Nice work Mate. I use these in remote jungle locations during my work with the Indigenous People. Simple to build, Simple to maintain. Using the "magic" of sending water uphill to teach Science to the folks living there.

This is a useful device that Amish people might love, as no electricity is needed!

Good to see this Ram in action. We had one when I was a kid. It was made of cast iron and was quite could hear it from nearby but not up at the house.

Thanks for sharing this video. You have a great system!

[Gnarlydude-bj]

Love your videos been subbed since 2016

[offroadz]

Used to watch these videos of yours all the time during the pandemic. And I stopped getting them recommended. One day I was working and remembered the ram pump videos. Still impresses me even after 3-4 years.

Get the trees off of it and the pipe will grow, who knew. Lol

[snooter]

I really am not sure why I watch these every year, but I just can not fathom missing one.

[axolp]

Let the pump pumping the whole pumping season!

[NovaNocturneArt]

I would love to use something like this for keeping a little duck pond constantly refreshed

[jllaine]

Woo Hoo, glad to see the start of ram pump season!

[WaynesWorldGarage]

Outstanding. I bought one today. We currently use a 2 stage Davey pump to push water 400 feet away up maybe 40 feet. Pump works great, but sand from the creek in Maryland destroys the impellers. I'll try to fill an IBC from this and then pump uphill.

Fantastic. Great set up. Very impressed. Can I ask you two questions? 1. What do you mean by 7:1 ratio? 2. What is that valve called?

[micks]

I could not find the valve pressing stick on your merch page. How much are they?
