The Ram Pump Design Manual *Calcs Pressure Elevation Measurements Sizing Operation*
In this video we discuss the logistics involved in designing a ram pump. We cover everything from site selection and analysis to measuring elevations as well as calculating Hydraulic Ram Pump data to determine water delivery, pressure, volume and more. Included in the video (and below) is a ton of resource information from calculating expected delivery volume to standpipe sizing as well as pump operation theory. Included are some video clips that show my 1.5 Inch pump operation in the field with detailed explanations. If you want to build a ram pump for your homestead, farm or bugout shelter, this manual will help you determine if your site will support a ram pump and calculate the best design for your property and terrain. See below for many other videos that go into greater detail if you are looking for more specific information.
