I remember we had a ram pump in our cabin up in Polebridge, MT when I was just knee-high! Thank you for the reminder of this wonderful contraption!
What a awesome way to pump water and very reliable,I remember when you put the pump in and it's still working fine, so that shows how very reliable they are. Thanks for another great video.
Yes Mrs Wranglerstar's mother is from Sweden.
Great to see the ramp pump up and clicking away again.
I would like to thank You for Your time in making the Your Videos , I find them very informative and useful, Your a Good Man!
Thank You all very much!, and God Bless You and Your Family!
Ah, the good ol' ram pump! I think it was that video that got me to this channel. Another reason to love this piece of mechanical art
What a nice pump system. I wish I had a water source for a ram pump.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the video, Cody! Was feeling really horrible, but this cheered me up.
Thanks for teaching me something new about Ram Pumps!!
Ahh been looking forward to sitting down and watching a couple vids. Got my cup of coffee and I'm ready to go!
Plastic should not be used for the drive pipe. Steel is required.
Bert, thanks for answering. I did, however, watch the first video on the ram pump being built. I understand the purpose/function of the pvc compression chamber part of the ram pump unit.
My curiosity was directed to the up-line "stand pipe" shown in this latest video. The up-line "standpipe" in this latest video is open at the top, and is there to relieve the shock forces on the supply line that are generated by the check valve closing. Being open also allows it to act like a vacuum breaker.
Yet another excellent video. Keep them coming!
you really should raise the area where the pump sits, just a wooden platform for the pump to sit on through the winter so it's not submerged. also, have a shut off valve at the top of the drive pipe to shut it off during the winter if you're not using it and have another valve at the pump with a T joint so you can empty the drive pipe to eliminate any chance of breaking the drive pipe with locked in water. you have the right idea for buying the supply pipe though. still a great design.
it looks like your intake is a PVC pipe.
might i recommend that you use a large reducer to go up to about 6" or 8" dia pipe. then using a hole saw drill a number of holes in the larger pipe. wrap the whole assembly in your screen.
this all equates to slowing your intake so foreign objects are less likely to stick to your screen. and even if one of your multiple 'inlet holes' gets plugged, you have more to rely on.
just trying to limit the amount of maintenance / time you spend on it.
great work!
Great video and information as usual. Thanks Wranglerstar
Rocking the spyderco bushcraft. Nice!
Ram pumps are magic. :)
Another good video
good work . plz make some telescope , air horn
you should put a coupler on the end of your intake pipe so it has a flared out area and the screen cannot slip off so easily
Do you have a Swedish heritage?

You moved the inlet. In part 2 of the installation video, you dammed the water coming from the metal corrugated pipe and ran your inlet into that pool of water to draw from. In this video, it appears that the inlet was moved to another pool of water at ground level. Maybe below where the corrugated pipe outlets? I wonder why the change?
I wondered the same thing, Rockraider3.
Amazing! So interesting. Thanks for sharing
great vid , thanks
Great vid. Can you make a vid on pressure washing machines and how you keep them in good working order?
very cool - thanks again for sharing.
Pretty neat!
i love your videos. i am a fairly new subscriber. you are quite inspiring and i believe you are the real deal, very genuine , thanks for sharing with us
Can you explain the adjustment to the check valve? By turning it are you lessening the height to the check valve, lessening the amount of water weight sitting on top to close the valve? Ect.
how much head do you have to drive your system. you could make dam and drive a generator. if you live near a mountain stream there great for that. i love the way you think and do things. I learned allot just watching your video's thanks
On the supply side, the feedline had a "standpipe" that you passed. Is the standpipe capped to trap air, or is it open? What is it's function? Thank you for your answer.
Lacretia stand pipe gives you more pressure in the pump
just asking a couple questions. What do you do for a living? what state are you in? and how do you get water to your house in the summer/winter?
He did in his video on how to build the Ram Pump.
Noodle compressed by freezing? Spring us here in Montana too.
hi, you should paint your tank, the uv rays will burn the plastic and will need replacement in a few years.
So the pump does not use parastaltic pressure?
Why did you use steel? why not black poly pipe? would be easier to lay in my mind.
Great video! Do you find making the pump out of mostly metal components is better than mostly PVC? Thanks
Did you ever add a second water tank like you were talking about?
Great educational video as usual, the pump is pretty nice, but I read that those units are very inefficient, most of the water goes out the waste valve. Is this of concern to you or would the water from your pond run off anyway?
They're water-inefficient, but that's a necessity -- if you want to pump the water up higher than it has come down, the energy to get it up the hill has to come from somewhere, and that "where" is by lots more water falling down to the pump than is getting pumped up. These things are useful where there's a lot of water available -- if you need all the water that's coming out of your source then you need to find another source of energy for the pumping.
If you use White Water hose it is certified for consumption it gets rid of the plastic taste
what do you actualy use this for this is awesome video
Ok so i want to pump water from a small pool through black hose to heat it and back into the pool now i belive i can gravity feed it down to the pump and it will work from what i have seen but i cant be wasting all that water how can i get my over flow waste water whatever you want to call it back up into the pool? Could i hook a hose to the one thing that is wasting water on the ground?
Cody I just wondered if you had a couple of these running could you use to power a water wheel to partially supply you with electricity, further enhancing your ability to live off grid
+Zack Schaffer You can't use this for a water wheel. It uses ALL of the energy in the water to pump a FRACTION of the water uphill. There isn't any energy left to run a water wheel.
I disagree. The water coming from your discharge is a fraction of the input... however the discharge water still has energy. It would be more efficient to run the water wheel down by the pump and use the same source of water to turn a water wheel and run the ram pump. However you could also put a water wheel at the top (Discharge) and gather that energy as well. IE one idea I had was to put my discharge several feet above my collection tank, and then place a water wheel between the discharge and the tank to harness the energy of the discharge water. Might not be much, but it's 24/7.
can this technology be used for drawing water up through a well and if so, what's the approximate depth?
It will only work if the water can flow from the well to a lower place with enough drop to run the pump. If the water is so low in the well that there is no place for it to flow out it won't work. If it is a flowing well that raises the water enough so it can drop a ways to create some pressure to run the pump it should be able to work.
What is a "stand pipe" used for in the supply line?
Sam Daniels increasing the pressure
thats a good pressure gage lol
but the aluminum screen didnt last, maybe multiple stainless steel screening seems like a good longer lasting
What is the stand pipe for?
therianstrauss stand pipe gives you additional water pressure in the pump
durability, the steel pipe will last much longer and not become fragile in the cold winter.
what boots are you wearing
Hello buddy,
i am student with mechanical engineering major. Actually now i am doing my thesis which Designing and Creating mini Ram Pump as yours in the video.
One Question, are you having any references such as e-book, journal, article or else abour ram pump in theory ?
hopefully you can answer my question, and exactly this is very favor for me...
before thanks
in our book "modern homesteading" we have a small bit about ram pumps but you can find a ton online - been around forever
how big of the pipe can we make ?
how big can you afford
I don't the price
JUST REMEMBER one 90 degree elbow = 100 foot pipe
Robert Teske
I can't ever click where it says click here.
Why does your water look like explosive diarrhea?
You didnt credit who taught you this.
Since you have shown the ram pump several times can I assume that you have a water right to divert that water? Up here in Washington that can put you in jail quick depending on what watershed you are in.
bahhhhh humbug
