Start Up the Ram Pump for 2020

After a rather mild winter its time to get the ram pump back up and running. Looks like we will be digging out some silt and finding the screen intake.

In my Hydraulic Ram Pump setup I have a screen intake that pulls water in to feed the system. This is made from 3" pvc pipe with holes drilled into it. I then take window screen and wrap it around the pipe. The water that comes into this pipe travels down a supply line to the next stage of the system.

The Bucket intake is a very important part of the ram pump build. This allows for an air free water source and keep a lot of silt out of the pump. To make this bucket I simply let water from the supply line dump into the top of the bucket. The I use a product called Uniseal to install the drive pipe midway up the bucket. One the bottom I have a drain plug that lets me drain the silt. The extra water empties the bucket and goes back to the creek.

The water travels down the drive pipe. This is a 1" poly pvc pipe to match the size of ram pump that I have installed. The more ridged the drive pipe the better the water hammer effect will be and the higher you can lift water.

The ram pump that I have installed can be purchased at the Land To House website and on Amazon. Links:

The water tanks on top of the hill are supplied by water on the bottom. I like this setup as long as the non return valve is working.

Lastly I have a poly pipe traveling down the the garden spot so that I can use the water in an irrigation setup.
