I’m curious about:
What do you figure the longevity of those check-valves is and have you had any go T.U.? (The valves are getting one hell of a workout);
what type piping did you use mostly? (Sch40, Sch80, )

(An interesting side note here: water ‘pressure’, or any liquid for that matter, has nothing to do with the ‘amount’ of it, only the ‘height’ [minus any friction if the liquid is moving]. Blew my mind when I first realized that. Think about that on the scale of something like Grand Coulee Dam.)

Pump that wild mountain spring 2 your door. Bet the flavor of that spring water is COLD & refreshing clean drinking water.

What is it made of? And what is the energy source? Just the flow of the water?

200 years ago when the greeks had aqueducts makes me think its probably thousands of years old

Can you do a big full video on how it all works? Maybe the math behind it too?

The pyramid of giza was a ram pump/generator.

How many GPM do you get out of a pump system like that?? Also 100 feet of fall over 600 feet of pipe should give you some incredible water pressure, have you ever checked to see what kind of pressure you’re getting at the end of the pipe?
