Hydraulic Ram Pump Build

Building my first hydraulic ram pump using plumbing fittings, brass valves, polyethylene pipes, fire extinguisher as a pressure chamber etc. It has 50 m of drive pipe, 1 m drop. It pumps water up to somewhere around 4 meters through 3/4" garden hose that is 80 meters in total length. The homemade hydraulic ram pump pumps 1,5 liters per 40 seconds which equals to 3240 liters per 24 hours. I had to build a small dam to provide additional drop for the water in the creek that reaches the pump via polyethylene water pressure pipe. I changed the swing dump valve to a regular sliding valve since swing valve got jammed at times and was not reliable. I am really happy with this project. I've wanted to build it for several years now and seeing the water come out from the garden hose on the top is a dream come true. The pond with a stagnant water has now artificial flow through in the dry season. Thanks for watching! Ram Pump in Estonian - vesioinas.

Hi from New Zealand, we are a Nation of getting it done. I too have a home built Ram pump. Been going 7 yrs now. 1 thing for you to do is swap out the fire extinguisher pressure vessel for a bladder pressure tank off an old electric pressure pump. Job sorted, mine had a bike tube in the old one, that burst. 15psi is adequate. Good luck m8.

Hydraulic RAM pump projects are basically magic.

@DonnDIY 5 жыл бұрын

Hydraulic ram pump working principle: water rushes trough the drive pipe and the waste valve and slams it shut, the occurring hydro shock forces water up through the second valve underneath the pressure chamber. When the pressures equalize the second valve closes and now the compressed air in the pressure chamber forces the water uphill through a smaller diameter tube.

If you have a stream with dirty water that's near a clean water spring, look into a dual acting Ram pump. Uses the water from the Stream to pump the water from the spring. Even though they both go into the same chamber somehow they don't mix!

Good video as always. We use a ram pump to pump our spring water into a tank for more pressure. We've found that a smaller ID pump tends to pump more then a larger ID pump(the smaller pumps have less wastage). Did you put anything in the fire extinguisher(like a pool noodle, or pipe insulation)? We started out putting pool noodles into 4" PVC pipe capped off on one end and necked down to the size of the pump. Pool noodles work pretty well though as time goes on they start to get compressed and water logged and need changed. We've started to use diaphragm tanks they last about 2 or 3 years before they rust through. That's still alot longer then the noodles. We've never tried just air in the tank. If your worried about the pump freezing just submerse it in water and let it keep pumping. The feed line and the output shouldn't freeze if the water keeps moving. Great video as always, thought I would share some knowledge my dad and I have learned over the years.

:D yeah, we (in czech republic) love the combination of standart metric with imperial plumbing :D it could get really interesting/annoying in fact :D for example - pressure gauges can have 1/8", 1/4" 1/2", M12x1,5 or M20x1,5 - and small things like this can make/destroy your day. :)

@shlepkovac3759 4 жыл бұрын

funny thing, even though the part itself has an imperial measurement on it, in some cases the catalogue in the shop has the measurement in metric. So for example if it's an 1 and 1/4inch it will say 32mm in the catalogue. It's stupid

I'd get rid of the last green pipe and straight to the pond, that will have much less friction and give you more pressure and volume. Further more, if its just 1 m drop, you can put an elevated 220l barrel on a ramp 10m from the pump, and connect it to the stream at higher level. This will give you higher drop of 1.5-2 m, and shorter distance to the pump... again, less friction inside the tube.

I use a ram pump at my cabin. I found that the larger the tank the more pressure I get. I use an old well tank with an inflatable bladder. I also get better results using a foot valve at the waste gate. I can add weight to keep it open longer. These will move a lot of water. Great idea for your pond.
