I made a waste valve with 2" coupling and 2x1" boozing, one of the boozing is inverted ang welded. I install a reducer from 1" to 1/2 inch for plunger rod. The plunger is made of hard rubber(truck tyre) around a inch thick with stud bolt as a rod. It can adjust to the desired cycle of the pump. I learned that it is better to have a slower cycle if the delivery distance is longer and higher vertical to lift.

You're the first one here to put emphasis on the little air hole below the pressure tank valve to replenish the air. Other posters here on youtube state that you need a bladder tank, a pool noodle or another elastic and compressible device to prevent losing the pressure in the tank. Keeping in mind that hydraulic ram pumps were invented in 1796 and successfully worked for more than 200 years without a bladder tank, this is the crucial element to make the pump almost maintenance free. My grandpa used an already old one some fourty years ago to deliver water to his garden. My cousin, who inherited it, said it is still working. In Swabia those pumps are nicknamed 'the diligent cobbler' due to their never-ceasing knocking sound.
@@frenchriverspringsmakes sens to me. I'm a plumber, and if i understand correctly, it just makes it so you always have air and thus, pressure in the tank? Because I imagine if the pressure chamber were to fill up completely, the pump would stop functionning?

your is THE best I have seen so far. I have not seen that crucial 1/16 hole under check valve sending water to Chamber on other YOU TUBE Presentation. Air being replenished in Chamber make the whole thing operate smoothly and work right. 40 years ago I did one of these for final practical Engineering project. I had to Machin the valve with adjustable length and weight. What you are doing is much better ; calibrating the SPRING. Try three different spring and a 5 gallon Bucket at the end of hose and measure the time; see which spring fills the bucket sooner. These Ram pumps are great for hilly areas with running water at lower levels. Depending on amount of water, one can put 4 of them next to each other. Great job, I hope everybody follow your design and read my comment. greetings from California , best wishes.
His ram obviously works, but does have problems if lifting to a greater height. I built a ram pump in 1978 and used it for 25 years lifting water 320 feet. For high lifting you must use STEEL Drive pipe and steel delivery pipe first 250 feet. Also for lift above 60 feet pump must be all metal. ( l have watched metal freon tank explode and fly over 100 feet high) My ram had 20 feet fall from water resavore through 1 1/2 inch drive pipe then union conecter to pump valve to steel pressure tank is 1 1/2 CLATON MARK one way check valve. Tank is 3 inch steel pipe. My clacker valve 1 1/2 inch SWING CHECK VALVE ( very loud). My delivery pipe is 3/4 inch steel water pipe to 4000 gal water tank. I got 4800 gallons every 24 hours.( approx 1 1/2 gal per min).
I have had mine in operation for over 3 years, 1 in. stainless with 30 ft galvanized drive line from a stand pipe. My fall is apx. 12-15 ft. Im pumping apx. 80 ft in elevation at 200 GPD. I do have to empty the pressure vessel (4in pvc) on occasion when I see it becoming week.
At about eight and a half minutes into your video you were talking about the heart beat. The optimal number of beats per minute will depend on every individual's unique setup. For my setup, about sixty beats per minute turned out to be just about perfect. A problem with my setup is the available water in my spring can be vary seasonally. During times when my creek doesn't have as much water in it, a faster number of beats per minute means less water wasted through the pump so my dam is less likely to run out of water. My ram pump has an adjustable stroke length on the valve and also some big fat washers for weights which can be to added or removed, as well as changing to stronger or weaker springs. I had to use a stopwatch and a count the number of beats per minute and keep measuring the pumped volume with a bucket and stopwatch at the other end. I made a graph of the performance curve and then settled on a number of beats per minute which conserved my dam water and still resulted in a pretty good volume of water delivered to my tank. For you it looks like you have an ample water supply for the size ram pump you made so maybe the speed of the pump will be less critical for your setup. Nice video, thank you for sharing it, it's always nice to see other people's ideas. You have a great setup, congratulations.
After reading your comment, that is exactly what you need to do! (I did the same thing) after that it's a matter of water management at your holding tank !
Just wondering, but would a third loose check valve on the inlet pipe from the spring cause more water hammer allowing for a great volume to enter the accumulator tank above?
The Hole is allowing a momentary vacuum break, and the "pressure tank" which is actually an expansion tank. Like what is on a deep well pump. Very neat idea using the reversed spring on the one way valve. Will try to build one like this. Thanks.
Finally! Somebody answered the question we’ve all been wondering. I though maybe it was to keep the pressure tank from being water logged. Or am I still missing something?
That ram pump is beautiful! The pope should fly down and bless it! Lol! Some ppl put a bicycle tube fillled up inside the pressure reservoir (air tank). Great job!
The purpose of the bicycle tube inside the air pressure reservoir is to isolate air from the water. Without it the air will slowly dissolve in the water creating a vacuum that reduce the pressure and effectiveness of the pump. I might be wrong, but his little hole in the check valve might serve the same purpose as the bicycle tube as it appear to replenish the air in the pressure reservoir with bursts of fresh air, so no problem with some of it dissolving in the water. I could be totally off the mark with that though....
What if you used the valve from a bicycle tube in that little hole, so that it acted as a one-way valve for taking air in? Would it result in better air pressure or would the difference be marginal? I've successfully used tubeless presta valves from the local bike store as one way air valves in a few projects before.
Usually the hole in the pipe has a tiny SS cotter pin in it or a piece of copper wire bent on both ends to restrict flow. I am building a ram with a schrader valve - tire valve, but made for old style water well tanks as an air entrance valve - it has no spring and it is stainless steel. Available at good well supply store, but getting out dated. Basically a tiny check valve - lets air in and water not out.
@@TheBryce98 There is no need to put check valve as snifter, water release only happen when delivery valve is closed and suck air when delivery valve is open, thus notbing affecting the pressure of the chamber at all. Snifter release water at a fraction of second before waste valve is open, we can say it dump water at the same time with waste valve, so no need to concern. Thanks.

@@frenchriversprings Same thing goes your way Gilbert....I won`t be around till Spring I think....stay away from the big city....don`t catch the covid....CHEERS
It would have a higher delivery rate, and would have started much quicker, if you hadn't lifted the pipe coming from the spring. Hydraulic rams don't depend on pressure on the inlet side in order to work, they depend on the SPEED of the incoming water. Flowing water possesses kinetic energy. If you halve the flow rate of the water, the kinetic energy drops to a quarter of what it was - and there's a drastic reduction in the flow rate out of the ram through the delivery pipe. When you lifted up that spring water pipe, the flow rate dropped very sharply - and there's the problem. The flow rate has to reach a critical speed in order to snap the waste valve shut, and cause the pressure spike which opens the delivery valve; the more you interfere with the free flow of input water, the longer it takes for it to reach enough speed to snap the waste valve shut, and the more water you waste out of the waste valve. Reversing that spring in the waste valve made it worse, because the the spring water not only has to overcome the weight of the waste valve to shut it - it also has to overcome the spring pressure as well. Those two factors significantly reduce the efficiency of the set up, and that's a real pity. I'm sure that if you turn that spring water pipe down to where it was to start with, take the spring out of the waste valve, and then connect your hydraulic ram in the vertical position again, you'll see a heck of a difference. HTH
thanks for the detail other instructions were missing. particularly showing that you can change the checkvalve and showing where you added the airhole. many people dont even understand that the air dissolve in the water.
I have several questions. 1- Can you tell what should be the ratio of the diameter of the outlet pipe to the inlet? 2- There are some other types of check valves that do not have a spring and have a hinge and pivot on one side, and based on their weight, the valve opens and closes, and they do not need a base in the middle of the valve to install the door of valve. Doesn't the middle diagonal bar of the valve make resistance against water? What is their disadvantage compared to this type? thanks
If there is water in a ditch without flow, can you use a ram pump to send water? Or it is necessary to have flow in order to work? What if the black tank was already filled with water at the beginning?
Now your talking Gilbert....that`s the way to go....no solar....no gas pump.....just do it the old way....that could probably water your garden with the sprinkler and even feed your fish pound.....dirty water for the activation and the clean river water on the push side.....you did a great job with this pump....did you now you can still buy the old ram Pumps the way the use to build then....when we meet we talk more about this.....CHEERS my friend
might sound like a dumb question... but I'm curious since I might add one to our cabin... could you build pressure at the top by adding another ram pump up where the end of the hose is, near the house? Thanks in advance for tips!
I was having a issue with the same type of check valve here, but now i see it's because i started with the other design when everything is in line. I get good pressure and flow, but cant get the check valve to work. I also used a plastic check for the pressure tube. When I first set it up, it blew the pressure tube off the rubber reducer attached with hose clamps. I had to add 2 clamps to each end. Its like 30 or 40 psi!
I noticed that you are losing water at your reducer on your 3 or 4" elbow this should be sealed tight so you don't lose any kind of air or water pressure that you are building up this may help you push more water through your garden hose.
Good idea,but I would be concerned about not enough water being moved to supply a generator with a reasonable out put. It could be used as a way to fill a back up water supply tower, to feed the house's supply should the power go out
if you have flowing water, you'll just lose some energy to the pump's inefficiency. so you're probably better off if you just put the generator directly on the water source.
Lay the delivery pipe back down and set the ram pump back on in vertical position with the delivery lying down as it was? If you do that you wouldn’t have to wait for water level to rise? I’m just asking...
Before i am wandering why did you take out the spring on your check valve, lately I realize that without removing a spring sometimes the ram pump is malfuctioning or stop,. I decided to remove the spring from my checkvalve of my ramp pump, it is much more better.
Yea, I have seen a lot of pumps made with stock valves with the spring load kept as is. But I guess when the pump is running, the water is doing the work of opening and closing, and the spring can just get in the way a bit. Either way will usually work I would guess, but you probably get a bit more flow without the spring, once you get it running. I think I would leave mine in if it was working good enough just because it would make priming easier to have that slight pressure for the water to work on.
Thank you so much for your advice on the check files I just modified them You know one could Use a bicycle pump to run air hundreds of feet down to the accumulator and keep it full of air
You also do not need to add a "snifter" hole if you use a commercial pressure tank as that snifter hole costs you a lot of water being pumped over time....been there done that to....
There is something funny about all ram pump videos. They show the output discharge of water just for a fraction of a second just like the first appearance of poltergeist.
I am wondering Something. Lets Say you have a inlet tube that brings water from a high elevation that you have a bladder tank. The pressure the inlet pipe has at the badder tank will determine how much pressure is asserted on the bladder tank. Now lets say you have two check valves before and after the bladder tank. Like you have here. Do you think this will work as well?
what happens if you just hook up the garden hose to the existing pipe? it will probably work fine? 20 feet... are you planning on going higher? do you have any plans to improve setup?
Thank you very much for your intention, but with all respect and admiration for your work, I would like to recommend that you divide the content into two videos so that you can give details about the measurements of the pieces that are used. By the way, in normal video speed.
I did one with almost the same set up, but my waste valve isn't cycling. Any thoughts what could be the problem? Is there at least a minimum fall of water? I simulated it with a homemade water source placed 2-3 ft high with 8 meters flexible pipe connected to the system. Also, my pressure gauge is not reading anything. Initial thoughts: i think the inlet water velocity is too slow
I made a waste valve with 2" coupling and 2x1" boozing, one of the boozing is inverted ang welded. I install a reducer from 1" to 1/2 inch for plunger rod. The plunger is made of hard rubber(truck tyre) around a inch thick with stud bolt as a rod. It can adjust to the desired cycle of the pump. I learned that it is better to have a slower cycle if the delivery distance is longer and higher vertical to lift.

Air being replenished in Chamber make the whole thing operate smoothly and work right.
40 years ago I did one of these for final practical Engineering project.
I had to Machin the valve with adjustable length and weight.
What you are doing is much better ; calibrating the SPRING.
Try three different spring and a 5 gallon Bucket at the end of hose and measure the time; see which spring fills the bucket sooner.
These Ram pumps are great for hilly areas with running water at lower levels.
Depending on amount of water, one can put 4 of them next to each other.
Great job, I hope everybody follow your design and read my comment.
greetings from California , best wishes.
Thanks for showing all the parts.
That is a thing of beauty. Thank you. Lots of great usable info. Thank you
nice design! thanks for the info
Cool project. Thanks for sharing
His ram obviously works, but does have problems if lifting to a greater height.
I built a ram pump in 1978 and used it for 25 years lifting water 320 feet.
For high lifting you must use STEEL Drive pipe and steel delivery pipe first 250 feet.
Also for lift above 60 feet pump must be all metal. ( l have watched metal freon tank explode and fly over 100 feet high)
My ram had 20 feet fall from water resavore through 1 1/2 inch drive pipe then union conecter to pump valve to steel pressure tank is
1 1/2 CLATON MARK one way check valve. Tank is 3 inch steel pipe. My clacker valve 1 1/2 inch SWING CHECK VALVE ( very loud). My delivery pipe is 3/4 inch steel water pipe to 4000 gal water tank. I got 4800 gallons every 24 hours.( approx 1 1/2 gal per min).
Are you saying that both the delivery and the drive pipe have to be 250 feet long?
I have had mine in operation for over 3 years, 1 in. stainless with 30 ft galvanized drive line from a stand pipe. My fall is apx. 12-15 ft. Im pumping apx. 80 ft in elevation at 200 GPD. I do have to empty the pressure vessel (4in pvc) on occasion when I see it becoming week.
all for the out house bidet
Good videos and authentic content doesn't need #ASMR sh*t. So relaxing to see actual work being done and not slomo closeups. Thanks for sharing sir!
Well done
I will try and build one
Solar hydroponic gardening For beginners 👍
At about eight and a half minutes into your video you were talking about the heart beat. The optimal number of beats per minute will depend on every individual's unique setup.
For my setup, about sixty beats per minute turned out to be just about perfect. A problem with my setup is the available water in my spring can be vary seasonally.
During times when my creek doesn't have as much water in it, a faster number of beats per minute means less water wasted through the pump so my dam is less likely to run out of water. My ram pump has an adjustable stroke length on the valve and also some big fat washers for weights which can be to added or removed, as well as changing to stronger or weaker springs.
I had to use a stopwatch and a count the number of beats per minute and keep measuring the pumped volume with a bucket and stopwatch at the other end. I made a graph of the performance curve and then settled on a number of beats per minute which conserved my dam water and still resulted in a pretty good volume of water delivered to my tank.
For you it looks like you have an ample water supply for the size ram pump you made so maybe the speed of the pump will be less critical for your setup.
Nice video, thank you for sharing it, it's always nice to see other people's ideas. You have a great setup, congratulations.
After reading your comment, that is exactly what you need to do! (I did the same thing) after that it's a matter of water management at your holding tank !
great info !! THANKS !!
w=sqrt(K/m) - a concept spring mass systems, remove the spring for slower operation. i love your work. I've not seen any other with a spring
Remove the sping so the ram effect would have time to happen.
You will have higher flow.
Divad Ignawm They don't normally have springs because springs will fail quickly from fatigue. Much better to use gravity.
@fassenkugel more pressure,more lift
Just wondering, but would a third loose check valve on the inlet pipe from the spring cause more water hammer allowing for a great volume to enter the accumulator tank above?
The Hole is allowing a momentary vacuum break, and the "pressure tank" which is actually an expansion tank. Like what is on a deep well pump. Very neat idea using the reversed spring on the one way valve. Will try to build one like this. Thanks.
Finally! Somebody answered the question we’ve all been wondering. I though maybe it was to keep the pressure tank from being water logged. Or am I still missing something?
How much pressure was in the natural spring before installing the pump & how far uphill would it push the water?
That ram pump is beautiful! The pope should fly down and bless it! Lol! Some ppl put a bicycle tube fillled up inside the pressure reservoir (air tank). Great job!
The purpose of the bicycle tube inside the air pressure reservoir is to isolate air from the water. Without it the air will slowly dissolve in the water creating a vacuum that reduce the pressure and effectiveness of the pump. I might be wrong, but his little hole in the check valve might serve the same purpose as the bicycle tube as it appear to replenish the air in the pressure reservoir with bursts of fresh air, so no problem with some of it dissolving in the water. I could be totally off the mark with that though....
What if you used the valve from a bicycle tube in that little hole, so that it acted as a one-way valve for taking air in? Would it result in better air pressure or would the difference be marginal?
I've successfully used tubeless presta valves from the local bike store as one way air valves in a few projects before.
Usually the hole in the pipe has a tiny SS cotter pin in it or a piece of copper wire bent on both ends to restrict flow. I am building a ram with a schrader valve - tire valve, but made for old style water well tanks as an air entrance valve - it has no spring and it is stainless steel. Available at good well supply store, but getting out dated. Basically a tiny check valve - lets air in and water not out.
Gerry DX I think three tennis ball are better than the bicycle tube.
@@TheBryce98 There is no need to put check valve as snifter, water release only happen when delivery valve is closed and suck air when delivery valve is open, thus notbing affecting the pressure of the chamber at all. Snifter release water at a fraction of second before waste valve is open, we can say it dump water at the same time with waste valve, so no need to concern. Thanks.

How did the schrader valve work for you?
You should have something support that. The amount of weight that's on the thing.. eventually leak and or break
Thanks for posting great video
Wow amazing.thanks for sharing. Do you know how many liters and hour it pumps?
You could use that to fill up tanks uphill and water your lawn? :)
Thanks for sharing. All these resources surrounding us, and most doesn't know how to take advantage of it
I really enjoyed your video thanks a lot !
If you turned the pipe back on its side like when you found it. Would you have more pressure? Because its lower on the water table?
Dg
probably a little bit every foot of head pressure you have above the ram pump means more potential lift...
ofc
I replied before I read all comments, I was wondering the same thing.
Is it 1 meter height pushes 15 meters height up a hill?
Great. Thanks, I'll check them out.
Congratulations, in Brazil this is called bomba carneiro , Or bomba de aríete . Valeu Fera

Thanks Gator! I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and Happy new year!

It would have a higher delivery rate, and would have started much quicker, if you hadn't lifted the pipe coming from the spring. Hydraulic rams don't depend on pressure on the inlet side in order to work, they depend on the SPEED of the incoming water. Flowing water possesses kinetic energy. If you halve the flow rate of the water, the kinetic energy drops to a quarter of what it was - and there's a drastic reduction in the flow rate out of the ram through the delivery pipe. When you lifted up that spring water pipe, the flow rate dropped very sharply - and there's the problem. The flow rate has to reach a critical speed in order to snap the waste valve shut, and cause the pressure spike which opens the delivery valve; the more you interfere with the free flow of input water, the longer it takes for it to reach enough speed to snap the waste valve shut, and the more water you waste out of the waste valve.
Reversing that spring in the waste valve made it worse, because the the spring water not only has to overcome the weight of the waste valve to shut it - it also has to overcome the spring pressure as well.
Those two factors significantly reduce the efficiency of the set up, and that's a real pity.
I'm sure that if you turn that spring water pipe down to where it was to start with, take the spring out of the waste valve, and then connect your hydraulic ram in the vertical position again, you'll see a heck of a difference.
HTH
The spring making the waste valve normally open ensures it is self priming
EXCELLENT, VERY WELL EXPLAINED. THE LIKE GOES
Suyun çıkış tarafını biraz daha daraltılmış olsa almış olunan su miktarı degisirmi
Amazing video. Impressed to the max.
Great work!!
Hey, great video! How long would I need to let it build up pressure, I used a 2 inch drive pipe 58 feet long
The flow length is a critical factor on the pressure and volume you will be able to get.
thanks for the detail other instructions were missing. particularly showing that you can change the checkvalve and showing where you added the airhole. many people dont even understand that the air dissolve in the water.
It would have been nice if you had explained more how the pump works and the orientation of the valves. I hope it worked well for you.
a pump that pumps up hill
Why would he need to wait it, it's got a spring. You could just put it back in.
It's much simpler than what he showed he did it the hard way, and he cheated by hooking it up to an existing pipe,
@@bobydarnell9428 This :/
You can pump water out of a pond uphill, with no electricity
I have several questions. 1- Can you tell what should be the ratio of the diameter of the outlet pipe to the inlet? 2- There are some other types of check valves that do not have a spring and have a hinge and pivot on one side, and based on their weight, the valve opens and closes, and they do not need a base in the middle of the valve to install the door of valve. Doesn't the middle diagonal bar of the valve make resistance against water? What is their disadvantage compared to this type? thanks
Impressive and helpful. I would like to understand what your hooking your ram pump to? Did you dig a well? How is it pressurized?
He said it's a Springwell.
Is there a formula on how to calculate the size of the ram pump relative to the height and lengt of where the water is needed?
🎉 thanks for putting that on the Internet and letting us see how are you did it.
wow! wow! thank you a lot for sharing. God bless you more.
Thank you very informative video Mr tudball
This one looks very simplified could you mind taking us step by step on assembling to installation
Good Job, nicely done
If there is water in a ditch without flow, can you use a ram pump to send water? Or it is necessary to have flow in order to work? What if the black tank was already filled with water at the beginning?
Amazing. Good stuff to know.
Now your talking Gilbert....that`s the way to go....no solar....no gas pump.....just do it the old way....that could probably water your garden with the sprinkler and even feed your fish pound.....dirty water for the activation and the clean river water on the push side.....you did a great job with this pump....did you now you can still buy the old ram Pumps the way the use to build then....when we meet we talk more about this.....CHEERS my friend
Thanks Gator. Ya I bet there pretty expensive to buy.
Does changing the size of the reservoir on top affect the frequency of pumping?
Do a video of how did you get water out of the ground.
Qual é a distância que tá jogando e a altura e vazão é grande?
Obrigado amigo e parabéns pelo projeto.
can u make a list of parts you used to build the pump?
Nice design, like the air hole to maintain air pressure. Can you tell me how many gallons per minute it pumps, assume this a 2” pump? Thanks
water source (the lake etc) is below both the valves? how did it initially pump the water into the valves in the first place?
The hole is a waste of pressure, you don't need the spring in the exhaust valve.
Ram Pump Springs Eternal.
might sound like a dumb question... but I'm curious since I might add one to our cabin... could you build pressure at the top by adding another ram pump up where the end of the hose is, near the house? Thanks in advance for tips!
Nice video full of information about rp thanks bro
Great presentation
A big constant of the valve speed would the volume or air space in the pressure tank
I was having a issue with the same type of check valve here, but now i see it's because i started with the other design when everything is in line. I get good pressure and flow, but cant get the check valve to work. I also used a plastic check for the pressure tube.
When I first set it up, it blew the pressure tube off the rubber reducer attached with hose clamps. I had to add 2 clamps to each end. Its like 30 or 40 psi!
Good job thanks
you've given me an idea of putting a tiny one-way valve at the tiny hole to draw air but disallow water out
There is a valve for that called a snifter valve
good Id
but the water and pressure loss is so small its not affecting the system
will not warry about that.
I noticed that you are losing water at your reducer on your 3 or 4" elbow this should be sealed tight so you don't lose any kind of air or water pressure that you are building up this may help you push more water through your garden hose.
Good demo.
Sick beat tho!
Great flow
Wonder if you could use this to fill a reservoir to run a small hydro generator off of for backup power
Good idea,but I would be concerned about not enough water being moved to supply a generator with a reasonable out put. It could be used as a way to fill a back up water supply tower, to feed the house's supply should the power go out
if you have flowing water, you'll just lose some energy to the pump's inefficiency. so you're probably better off if you just put the generator directly on the water source.
If you put a bigger reservoir can you increase the pressure?
The speed depends on the pressure that you need. Slowing it down will give you more pressure but less volume
Good you mentioned the different speed.
Very cool. Nice to use bronze. I wonder about that little skinny spring. How many years that might endure?
Lay the delivery pipe back down and set the ram pump back on in vertical position with the delivery lying down as it was? If you do that you wouldn’t have to wait for water level to rise? I’m just asking...
Before i am wandering why did you take out the spring on your check valve, lately I realize that without removing a spring sometimes the ram pump is malfuctioning or stop,. I decided to remove the spring from my checkvalve of my ramp pump, it is much more better.
Yea, I have seen a lot of pumps made with stock valves with the spring load kept as is. But I guess when the pump is running, the water is doing the work of opening and closing, and the spring can just get in the way a bit. Either way will usually work I would guess, but you probably get a bit more flow without the spring, once you get it running. I think I would leave mine in if it was working good enough just because it would make priming easier to have that slight pressure for the water to work on.
Thank you so much for your advice on the check files I just modified them You know one could Use a bicycle pump to run air hundreds of feet down to the accumulator and keep it full of air
Excellent video, Greetings from Venezuela, you can send me a drawing of how the valves would look after the change, thanks in advance
I was very impressed with your design. I am however wondering what happens when the entire air chamber is full of air?
Bubbles in the outlet, Excess of bubbles = bleed hole is too big
Sir this is great!!!! Can you give the parts that are need to make tha pump? Thanks
An alternate method might be to have a weight holding the valve open. The weight could be varied.
You also do not need to add a "snifter" hole if you use a commercial pressure tank as that snifter hole costs you a lot of water being pumped over time....been there done that to....
Great job!!
There is something funny about all ram pump videos. They show the output discharge of water just for a fraction of a second just like the first appearance of poltergeist.
Anybody knows if you add another line of modified check valve, get increase pumping pressure?. I think that should works. Greetings!!
MARAVILHA GOSTEI, PARABENS
I am wondering Something. Lets Say you have a inlet tube that brings water from a high elevation that you have a bladder tank. The pressure the inlet pipe has at the badder tank will determine how much pressure is asserted on the bladder tank. Now lets say you have two check valves before and after the bladder tank. Like you have here. Do you think this will work as well?
What direction do you install the check valves?
Soon i quit my job i will start farming and i get this idea to my farming plans
I you have a 1" diameter pipe but with two 1" waste valve, what can you call this, 1" or 2" ram pump?
How did you manage to raise the water to a higher level in the pipe that feeds the pump?
That's what a ram pump does...
what happens if you just hook up the garden hose to the existing pipe? it will probably work fine? 20 feet... are you planning on going higher? do you have any plans to improve setup?
Thank you very much for your intention, but with all respect and admiration for your work, I would like to recommend that you divide the content into two videos so that you can give details about the measurements of the pieces that are used. By the way, in normal video speed.
I did one with almost the same set up, but my waste valve isn't cycling. Any thoughts what could be the problem? Is there at least a minimum fall of water? I simulated it with a homemade water source placed 2-3 ft high with 8 meters flexible pipe connected to the system. Also, my pressure gauge is not reading anything.
Initial thoughts: i think the inlet water velocity is too slow
