I'm sure you know this already, you can buy a longer nut used to connect pieces of allthread. I like how you linked LTH in the description for prebuilt pumps. That is very classy.
Thanks, Joe. But let me notice, that your buffer tank should be mounted ahead of waste valve to increase the resulting pressure. In your current scheme you are loosing a part of power.
Wondering is adding a piece of pipe between the exhaust T and the exhaust check valve would build the pressure as well? Would that be the same as adding weight to the exhaust check valve, and if so, would a longer pipe create more pressure? Built one of these in 1-1/4 inch and have yet to use it. Nice video
Build a bigger tank and put a tire inner tube in the tank with some air in it it will add air hammer effect in the tank. Maybe a well bladder tank would work.
So this will maybe sound silly, but couldn't you attach a funnel type contraption around the waist valve to then carry said waist water to another holding tank of sorts just for collecting and or to have a second source for another smaller pump? (assuming you have enough left over fall Hight still)
Do you plan on selling just the waste valve individually? I think the market really needs something better than a swing check valve. Would love a comparison video when it’s complete
Could you do an Arduino to control a servo motor to hold the valve down for a setable time? A little complex and would take some time and research but that would be really cool.
I still don't see a water recycling unit in place, capture the waste valve and solar powered pump it back to the tank, as well as your outlet pipe (coming from a country that's just come out if a drought, seeing all that water going to "waste")
@@JoeMalovich i am sure you have seen an ad for it by now it will become right shortly. lol, youtube is full of free energy machines there's a lot of voltage floating around too. lol
@@mog5858 Yeah, that's why everyone has their own personal "free energy generator" in their house and no one has to pay an electric or gas bill anymore. You know, because "free energy generators" work so well and are so ubiquitous.
By far the better of the videos I've seen, consistent, high volume, perfect for my plan and use of a ram pump for cattle in Mexico.
Great Video, Now if only I had a creek to pump water from.
Thanks for your time and effort in sharing your project.

I think you need to measure the pressure at the same height as the input water level... Otherwise you're seeing gravity in addition to the pump.
pump the waste water back up the hill for your hydro turbine and make another one :^)
Very cool!!
List of materials and its measurements pls
Pretty cool; thank you.

yeah there wouldn't be any reason for that not to work
How much pressure does it get?

That's what I've been thinking about, but I don't think I could make one smaller than 1.25", maybe 1".
Just make 1” and 1-1/4” still way better than a swing check valve that wears out in a year. Currently there zero on the market
Joe printed valve is better
Watching many , many pump videos , very obvious difference
Where to buy that homemade pressure tank?😂
Did you ever start selling this valve?
It is so cute :)

If you're using electronics... You'd just do hydro power and an electric pump
@@ZorligI wou not know, but wouldn't an arduino and a servo would be pretty cheap?
@@jaycweingardt11 sure but how are you going to power it?
An electromagnet might be easier to implement. One that releases on a pulse of electricity would be somewhat electrically efficient.
@@Zorlig a portable phone charger and a cheap 5v solar panel.
This would work good for irritating a garden with a sprinkler head..
Absolutely.

That's what those square white bibs are for, and I already have the electric pump. I just hardly have any free time anymore.
the whole thing is that a ram pump works with no electricity. they are simple and they work. you can get a free lunch.
@@mog5858 where can I get this free lunch?

Dude, first time, the ground around the pump is soaked wet from usage.
And?
@@JoeMalovich Prove of much success...
you really dont need a ram pump for down hill flow I think most of the likes are from kind people or stupid people
Ummm ok?
@@JoeMalovich Kracker is correct but the outcome here is the proof of the pump working in an outstanding capacity.
