Hey Cody, flip your PTFE roll over so your rolling off the top, and it’s much much easier to roll on, I was watching you fight it a bit and it was getting to me! I loved the original series on the Ram pump saga!
Using Hemp would be even better because it gets bigger when wet and will seal a lot better. And you can rewind a bit when overtigthening without having to redo the hemp.
I would love to be there when he remembers the other side of the union is on his pipe in the stream. 😂 I wonder why he wouldn’t get brass nipples and fittings??
Wranglerstar: makes better cliffhanger endings than Game of Thrones. I've been waiting for this video... :p edit: oh man, of course it's another wait to get the explanation of how it works.
I landed on Wranglerstar looking for Ram Pump videos. The tutorial, detailing, the English, Quality and editing of the video, off grid living ooh countless things i can mention that i liked about made me subscribe to your channel. So going back to the Ram pump gives me more Joy watching
@@wimphilipsen2651 It runs 24 hours per day, every day. It doesn't get shut off unless he's working on it, or it gets plugged. 31.5 million times is correct.
@@wimphilipsen2651 The pump works from the effect of inertia. The water flowing down hill gets stopped by the check, but still wants to move. It overcomes the back pressure in the out flow and runs uphill until the inertia is balanced out. Then the checks reset and the water flows again. The water must continuously move the checks and develop inertial or the pump stops and must be primed to restart. The outflow can be diverted from the lines to keep the flow going without stopping the pump. A float valve will let the pumped flow escape. When the reserve tank level drops the float will open the feed to the reserve tank again. The check valves will still be clapping away whether the water is stored or dumped.
The better way to say it is it pumps water with no outside power needed. The pump uses the kinetic energy in falling water to build enough pressure to lift the water to a point and dumping the water it has taken the energy from. If you are trenching in plastic pipe remember to include some wire or metallic tape to be able to locate later.
don't forget to seed the trench once refilled, it will give you a permanent stripe in the grass to locate the pipe from an elevated or aerial view but not so noticeable as stand out like a sore thumb.
Or just say how it is: 'falling water' IS an "outside power". So is the material to build the punp, the building itself and let's not forget the maintenance...
I built a ram pump after you introduced me the concept I used it at my cabin which happens to be off grid it has a clean water spring about 200 yards away down about 50 feet lower in elevation. It pumps water like a champ when we stay there. I built a simple shelter for mine and it’s not a worse for wear as yours but in Georgia we also don’t have the winters y’all do.
Hey Wranglerstar I think you might find it beneficial to wrap the TFE Tape in the same exact way you did in this video just try flipping the spool 180 and putting your index finger through the hole with your thumb keeping tension on it. I think this method will help you efficiently put the tape on quicker and with more precision. Thanks!
Hi guys I'm welsh (from wales in the very not united kingdom ) trust me these work like a dream , its not spam or voodoo ,just Newtonian physics in action in its simplest form . Our local one was built almost 200 years ago ,it sits there ticking away 24\ 7 365 days a year ,local enthusiasts check it out every 10 years or so . To my knowledge it has never broken down or had any parts replaced . The only maintainanance required is sediment and weed growth removal from the fresh water source :-)
the likeness between you and my father gives me the chills. the scenes with you teaching jack how to operate the backhoe ... amazing. your a good man wranglerstar
Living on this mountain since the 70's without grid electricity, I found myself wanting & needing one of these ram pumps. I never got around to it partly because I had gravity flow then and had installed a 3,000 gallon tank way up the hill. Many things came into play and as a consequence I need one more now than before...Thank you for the encouragement and the excellent delivery, always thorough and tactfully done. You get a "Blue Star" / "Blue Wranglerstar" today.
Beautifully done Cody teaching the young one the ways of the Oiler. Check fluids, hydraulic, oil, coolant, diff, etc dont forget to blow the air filter and radiator. Remember blow out not in. More videos please. How about a complete service?
I didnt know what a ram punch was. Thanks. Honestly, as a person who grew up with no father or father figure, these videos help. I wish i could have had someone like you around.
A little piping tip. When working on pipe fittings arrange things so you can push and put your weight into it. So facing a vise and removing the fitting, have it to the right. The opposite for assembly. The tape and dope bit is handy, helpful when the thread is a bit rough.
A few years ago, the Navy filed a patent for a Zero Point Energy device. It is used in their second patent, a triangle shaped craft that can operate as a Hybrid Underwater Air Craft, the HUAC. The Navy personnel on the patent is Salvatore Piez (country savior). I really appreciate your channel, Sir!
You can use PVC parts for most of the system and spend a little more to get a Stainless Steel Check Valve & Waste Valve, if you want it to last longer. Great detailed video! Thank you for sharing.
iVE Subsribed long enough to say I have seen you change your ram Pump three times in the last 9 years. probably the best through line I can follow on the channel. I enjoy seeing you work on it every time you make a video.
Try using the thread tape roll the other way, so the tape rolls off closest to the thread, you will find it easier to roll it on one handed with more control over the tension and faster to apply.
I work for a water department and I personally was amazed by this, I’ve gotta say this is an amazing feet of engineering and you did an excellent job explaining it, thank you
I bought a Canon PowerShot A470, over 10 years ago. I've used it to make videos for my RUclips channel. I also take still photos. In one of my videos I took many still photos while I was building a shed for my motorcycle and made a time lapse video after I finished building it. After all these years it still works great. It also adds info in the stills that includes the date and time the pic was taken. I also had a fully adjustable tripod that the camera will mount on . I also have a Canon scanner/printer. Other than I sometimes have to push the paper to get it to feed, it otherwise is quite a nice machine.
Thanks for another cool video! Ignore the camera snobs... 4K is a fad and I think most of us don't really care about "picture quality"... just keep up the content quality!
Ram jet technology has been around a long time. We used them in plant utilities to pump hot water thru hvcc airhandler coils. So quiet yet pumped 185° F water without electricity.
A note to Jack. You are a very lucky young man to have a father that takes the time to explain how something works. Learn as much as possible now for no one knows what the future brings. Excellent program cody.
Hey Cody, you might get more efficiency by using a spring check valve in the #2 position. I've done comparisons and the forced closure retains more water and pressure. I used the stainless ones in a composite body, like they use in 1 1/4" well pipe.
Ok that was AWESOME Cody!! Two for one deal!!! Camera talk and review together with a ram pump rebuild and explanation!!! Super sweet!!! Further confirms my M50 purchase!!!
I honestly can’t believe you haven’t moved to rectorseal #5. Edit: never mind. On another note. Pipe dope is nothing compared to never seize as far as getting everywhere.
I respect your opinion on cameras, as you put together some of the most beautiful footage in the homesteading community. I wish I could afford to use what you use, but I'm not a professional. I am partial to canon as well. I'm looking for a new camera, hopefully I can find a canon I like for less than a thousand dollars. Good job teaching Jack machine maintenance. Lube it or loose it!
Switch to conbraco ball cheak valves. From my experience in industrial boilers they last quite a bit longer. Another good hit from steam fitters is to put a large hamer like a 3#er on one side of the thred to be removed. Then tap briskly on the other side of the threaded fitting and it will loosen a stuck rusted pipe thead much easier. I have saved many a pipe that would have been flattened or broke off by doing this. It would make a good video demo to test this.
I'm subscribed to three folks who flat love the thing so far. One of them said that it's not absolutely amazing at a few things but it's pretty darn decent at most everything and it's lighter.
Once upon a time when i used to do plumbing I always used ptfe tape and jointing compound for pottable water, except i used the thicker gas tape so I didnt have to wrap the thread so many times.
Rotate your Teflon tape to roll off in the opposite direction of your threads. (Roll off of the bottom, not the top.) You can control the tension on the tape.
Im glad to see you have a camera you enjoy, but what works for some may not work for others. many users use manual focus for total control while filming, also they use 4k so while editing they can crop and adjust the shot to be perfect. It's kind of like a fine woodworker and a heavy machinist, both use a cordless drill professionally but a lightweight compact drill may work best for the carpenter while a large powerful drill is needed for the machinist. Just thought i would chime in to add some perspective.
Yes, I understand this. You have a valid point if the camera comes with an attached cameraman. For the one mand band, manual focus is a terrible option, and for me, the extra time and processing power that is required to deal with 4k files makes the editing argument pointless. I am not a pro, I need equipment that doesn't prevent me from creating good content,
Watching you teach Jack all these invaluable skills gives me the fizz !!! He’s one lucky young man. You and the Mrs. should be so proud of the man you’re raising.
A little tip, put the thread tape on off the back of the roll. So flip the roll over. It's so much easier to hold the roll and run it around, and it naturally keeps taught straight off the roll.
EOS R is supposed to be awesome if you're mastering in 1080P... the one negative is the 4K crop. But other than that great. My dad is going to be picking one up soon. Yay cameras!
Two comment: 1. Our fluids lab ( Civil Engineering department) had a ram pump sold by Sears from years ago that had a balloon shaped air reservoir and the waste valve was vertical with the stem up so it fell open when there was no pressure and the water flowed through valve body lifting the check against the seat to stop the flow.. The top of the valve was cut to provide a turning motion to the valve so it would seat in different positions as it worked. 2. As someone who has taken care of brass fittings, check valves, and other soft metals, I cringe whenever someone uses a serrated jawed tool on brass. Or at least use a protector pad between the jaw and the brass. I used to grind in steam check valves for 175 psi use. It looked like those checks were not regrindable.
Wonderful, I have tried to instill into my son's intellectual knowledge the mind set of knowing what he is doing, (where 24' down is or should be). When you said "Look at me", I did that. Great dad instruction, my son has started teaching me. As I look into the winter of my life, he is seeing the Spring of his... miss my grandfather as he taught me.😢
We call it "Wasserpumpenzange" literally translated it means water pump pliers ;P which fetches nice to ram pump ;) nice greetz from Germany ;) Love your vidz. I learn so much every time.
As someone in the tech community, I may be biased but I disagree with you on how many people are watching content in 4k or at least more than 1080P. This is especially true for people watching on phones as so many phones have screen resolutions that are far over 1080P. Many large RUclipsrs do film in 4k because it gives them far more flexibility later. You can always convert down in resolution but you can't go higher.
Try applying heat with torch to coupler, check or T. The expansion pops rust loose allowing easier turning. Try using PVC nipples and they make PVC check valves also
Sorry to load up your comments but I've also used a screw driver and/or just a hammer to tap loose unions. Even gone as far as using a pneumatic chisel. Hitting in rotation on corner or point. Years working water and wastewater I've loosened galvanized unions rusted over 30+ year's
These tech youtubers are usually so very interested in tech that they will care about 4k and dynamic range and probably even grade their footage. But there were enough youtubers that said that if you don't care about that it's gonna be a fantastic camera.
There's a company that makes that same type of pipe wrench. It's called Bahco and they make the ones Snap On has. (As in the make them and provide them to Snap On) They make a larger size. You can find them on Amazon.
Hi Cody, I love my Canon camera, always have always will. I have never found a better camera, even using it underwater (200 meters) without any problems.
Pumps only have to lift the head. For example, you could have a 1000’ well, but the well fills up to within the last 50’. The pump would only have to lift the water 50’. Of course you would have a check valve inside the house to preserve bleak off of the pressure in the pressure bulb. You will still usually have a built in check valve in the pump to protect against excessive wear with the impellers floating against the diffuser head to maintain a positive head pressure and to prevent a negative pressure in the line between the pump and home.
Cody, try flipping the Teflon tape over the other way, it will be such a game changer, and another tip, 4 wraps minimum for best results my friend, nice work on the vid as always
Good day Cody. Can you please include the use and best application of the pump. I want to know if it can be used directly to pump water out of a well?👍🤔
Hey Cody, maybe its a terrible idea, but just a thought. Would it be good to put some sort of waterproof lubricant into those pins on the check valve before you put the new one on?
They are definitely making quality pipe right here in the USA. Probably not gonna find it on amazon .com though. The valve would make 31,536,000 movements in a 365 day period @ 1 movement per second.
Man this would make a very good collaboration with Destin over at Smarter Every Day. Dive in to physics of how it works and to make modifications to make sure it’s designed to be the most proficient!
Hi mate, love your videos. Just a suggestion: it's easier to apply the thread tape with the spool the other way around. A bit like toilet paper, some like it reeling off again'st the wall and others not. Regards Erich

I started scrolling to see if someone else said something about the tape. It was hurting my brain to watch

If the ram pump ran every second for a full year - it be 86,400 (seconds in 24 hours) X 365 = 31,536,000 flaps of the valve.

Jack is so lucky to get all that experience at that age. I'm 23 and I'm just learning the basics of home DIY by myself.
On the valve one flap a second equals 3,600 flaps an hour equals 86400 flaps a day equals 31,536,000 a year.

That's what got me started too!
Your using the Teflon tape wrong. Turn it over next time and it will tighten up into the threads and be easier to use!
Yep the outside of the Teflon roll need to be toward the pipe.
It is easier that way but I wouldn't say he was doing it wrong.
I wouldn't say he was doing it right 😂
I agree he should turn it. Definitely!
It's raining just as bad here on the east coast as I'm watching you get rained on. It's the wettest spring I remember in a long time.
Man, I gotta get one of those snap-on picks. It seems pretty helpful. I see you using that nearly every video!

Switch to conbraco ball cheak valves. From my experience in industrial boilers they last quite a bit longer.
Another good hit from steam fitters is to put a large hamer like a 3#er on one side of the thred to be removed. Then tap briskly on the other side of the threaded fitting and it will loosen a stuck rusted pipe thead much easier.

Oh please un roll the ptfe tape the other way. It will be so much easier for u.
He's ensuring a lot of comments by doing it that way.
Yeah he might have done it wrong intentionally...
It hurts to watch When you carry a roll in you pocket every day ....
Yes!
Yep, roll the tape off the bottom of the roll then there's always tension on it.
Love how Jack one-uped you about marking the bucket vs a stick. Smart kid.
I'm subscribed to three folks who flat love the thing so far. One of them said that it's not absolutely amazing at a few things but it's pretty darn decent at most everything and it's lighter.
I wish I had a creek on my property so I could put this to work! I'll have to settle for rain collecting.
Once upon a time when i used to do plumbing I always used ptfe tape and jointing compound for pottable water, except i used the thicker gas tape so I didnt have to wrap the thread so many times.
Knipex products are amazing! I have used the 12" slip joint pliers for over a decade. They make great gifts for workmen.
Rotate your Teflon tape to roll off in the opposite direction of your threads. (Roll off of the bottom, not the top.) You can control the tension on the tape.

Its the Republicans in lots of states that put bans / fines / charges on solor panel installs . protecting their local power monopoly company.
Turn your tape around and it's easier to apply to the pipe threads. Love your videos!
Try applying heat with torch to coupler, check or T. The expansion pops rust loose allowing easier turning. Try using PVC nipples and they make PVC check valves also
I will be waiting for a clear explanation of function for that method of pumping - at least as much as you can. Very interested.
That part at the end, great stuff... tried telling others that before with the digging and nope out they get with the rake.
I used to build a lot of high pressure pumps, flip the tape and apply it coming out of the bottom of the Roll. You'll have more control.
Sorry to load up your comments but I've also used a screw driver and/or just a hammer to tap loose unions. Even gone as far as using a pneumatic chisel. Hitting in rotation on corner or point. Years working water and wastewater I've loosened galvanized unions rusted over 30+ year's
These tech youtubers are usually so very interested in tech that they will care about 4k and dynamic range and probably even grade their footage. But there were enough youtubers that said that if you don't care about that it's gonna be a fantastic camera.
There's a company that makes that same type of pipe wrench. It's called Bahco and they make the ones Snap On has. (As in the make them and provide them to Snap On) They make a larger size. You can find them on Amazon.
Your right I watch mainly on mobile, but 144p is how I roll LoL. Uses much less of my limited data, and loads quick on my rural networks.
Hi Cody, I love my Canon camera, always have always will. I have never found a better camera, even using it underwater (200 meters) without any problems.
I love these things. They amaze me everytime i see one work. Good video
Air Photography channel does amazing honest reviews
Pumps only have to lift the head. For example, you could have a 1000’ well, but the well fills up to within the last 50’. The pump would only have to lift the water 50’.
Of course you would have a check valve inside the house to preserve bleak off of the pressure in the pressure bulb. You will still usually have a built in check valve in the pump to protect against excessive wear with the impellers floating against the diffuser head to maintain a positive head pressure and to prevent a negative pressure in the line between the pump and home.
Great video Cody. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪
Will be building one soon, thanks.
31,536,000 times poor check valve over worked and under paid like the rest of us
New camera looks great!
Love the ram pump tutorial and Great bonus footage!
Cody, try flipping the Teflon tape over the other way, it will be such a game changer, and another tip, 4 wraps minimum for best results my friend, nice work on the vid as always
Good day Cody. Can you please include the use and best application of the pump. I want to know if it can be used directly to pump water out of a well?👍🤔
Hey Cody, maybe its a terrible idea, but just a thought. Would it be good to put some sort of waterproof lubricant into those pins on the check valve before you put the new one on?
They are definitely making quality pipe right here in the USA. Probably not gonna find it on amazon .com though. The valve would make 31,536,000 movements in a 365 day period @ 1 movement per second.
"galvanized steel pipe manufacturers in usa" just give this a search in the good ole engine.
Man this would make a very good collaboration with Destin over at Smarter Every Day. Dive in to physics of how it works and to make modifications to make sure it’s designed to be the most proficient!
Hi mate, love your videos. Just a suggestion: it's easier to apply the thread tape with the spool the other way around. A bit like toilet paper, some like it reeling off again'st the wall and others not. Regards Erich
New cameras working a treat 👍
Looking forward to the install. Darn right it's cold in the midwest (Minnesota)!
"Look at me for a minute". A true teacher. Great job!
Great video. Fun to see a rebuild.
Love your videos wonderful family! Love watching you teach your son. He will always remember everything you say. Best time in his life.
South west Michigan here, our frost line is 41" minimum to pass inspection.
