Hydraulic Ram Pump 3/4" (Small) Pump Water Off Grid from Creeks and Streams without Fuel or Electricity

The fittings to build a ram pump are less than half this cost. However, many buyers would not have a clue when they shopped at their local home-improvement store. They don't understand the terminology: nipples, check valves, unions, pressure tank, ball valves, etc.Foremost, I've never shopped a plumbing department where everything was in the correct bin. If you are a rookie, don't even try. How much is your time worth?Land-to-House builds ram pumps that work. They arrive almost ready to use. It will be up to you as to how to connect to the device; and that includes both the front and rear ends.Connecting is the easy part. Any clerk can look at your device and tell you what it takes to complete the circuit.Usually costs less than ten bucks for the adapter fittings.A ram pump is a delicate balance of nature. Please watch YouTube to educate yourself. There is math and physics involved to understand how a ram pump works. Maybe you might get lucky and score on the first shot.But, a ram pump is akin to adjusting the carburetor and distributor on grandpa's old car. Doesn't take much effort; but it requires a lot of comprehension.Again, educate yourself on YouTube before buying. This is not a toy for the ignorant.My best advice is to test your pump in your yard before dealing with the creek. You can buy a cheap trash barrel to hold water. Set the barrel up on your porch steps. Find out exactly how much elevation is required to get your pump started. Also, test how much drive pipe is needed.A ram pump is a tool. You need to know how to wield that tool. Land-To-House makes a great tool. But, don't think this device is "plug&play."Before buying, watch the numerous videos of Land-to-House on YouTube; or visit his web site. Very informative. If, after all that you are still confused, don't buy this pump.Now, back to the beginning: What would you pay somebody to shop all those parts, and glue them together? Might realize this is a pretty good deal for the newcomer. Personally, I'm experimenting with different designs. Couldn't have got this far without Land-To-House. And, so far, his designs rule.Buy this pump only if you understand why it works. Great pump for the informed.

I am using the pump to maintain the water level of a farm pond. With about four feet of head and 22 feet of lift to the pond I am getting 1/3 gpm. I did not know what a ram pump was until I somehow stumbled onto one of Seth's videos. The physics of this simple device is really incredible. I had a problem with the waste valve not closing initially. Seth was very responsive to my inquiries, diagnosed the problem, and sent a replacement valve promptly. I would encourage anyone with a similar application to get one.

Ram pumps are amazing! It constantly pumps water.

Love this pump. Simple and I can see a long lasting pump

I got the pump today, so happy, I will have to wait until spring before installation. Have always wanted one as the property has a branch on it. Top to bottom is about 50 ft. in drop. Shipping was 4 days. Fantastic. Box was in perfect shape. All components were wrapped very nicely.Thank you so much Seth.

Product running as promised. I have 7 feet of drop delivering 10 gal per hr up 49 ft of elevation over 500 ft of 1/2 inch pipe. Good videos by the seller on Youtube. I had one question anout tweaking the pump the seller answered immediately and got it up and running. Only drawback I can think of right now is no ability to service the pressure chamber with the tire tube in it. I expect the tire tube will eventually need air and replacement.

The media could not be loaded. I liked the good customer service Seth gave me with returning my emails for advice. I have 6 ft of drop and 60 ft of drive pipe. My lift is probably around 40- 45 ft. Make sure your drive pipe.is gradual and not a roller coaster. I’m getting about 1 quart a minute.
