ram pump anyone?

Making one. should have it done this weekend, hoping to try it out. If you dont know what it is google it. I have a spring and want to pump water up a hill to a tank and then use gravity pressure to run it to a cabin build site.

Pretty cool. Never heard of one before. How much elevation change do you thing you will have. How big of a tank will u have.

1st try didnt work. I don't think I have enough water from the spring. Going to try to pipe another spring in and Y them together.
Gotta go up hill about 18 ft. Probably just use an ibc tote. I think they r 275 gallon. Then it will be on top of hill and I can use gravity to cabin site. Guess 60 ft drop.

60 ft elevation should give u 25-30 psi at the cabin. Not bad

Could u put a collection pool upstream of the pump.

Possibly. Have a swampy area just above where I capped off the spring. Trying to keep it as clean as possible. Dont want a crayfish stuck in the pump.
