How to Build a Hydraulic Ram Pump

The Virus is changing how people around the world are living. 

It’s spring and garden season is here, people are making gradening plans for this seasons crops.

One issue that is always important to address, is how will I water my garden. Below is an example of a water pump system, for your garden, that uses no electricity, no gas, it’s all natural and has stood the test of time.

The Hydraulic Ram uses the energy in flowing water to lift a fraction of that water to a much greater height. he Hydraulic Ram Pump has been around for quite some time now, the first device in the modern era is reported to have been devised by an Englishman John Whitehurst in 1775. His design was not automatic and was controlled by opening and closing a stopcock.

Easier than carrying water by hand but sure sounds like it was still a lot of work and very time consuming.

The first reported fully automatic hydraulic ram was developed by Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier (of hot air balloon fame) in the late 1700’s (1793-1797).

The original design performed well on first start-up but suffered from a design flaw which caused a loss or “dissolving” of air in its pressure chamber. This in turn caused an intensive banging in the entire mechanism.

It was his son Pierce Montgolfier that solved the problem by developing and designing-in the air or “snifter” valve to reintroduce air into the chamber. (Most home built designs try to either simplify or work around the complexity of a snifter valve).

Skip forward to the present and not very much has changed design wise in the last couple of hundred years. 

There are several designs of the hydraulic ram pump but the one that I like the best is the “inline” model shown here. This design is based off the Clemson design.

All parts are PVC except for the brass check valve and innertube. This video shows how to make a 1-1/4″ ram pump but you can use this design to make a smaller or larger pump just keep the check valves the same.

In this video I address most of the problems someone new might encounter when setting up their ram pump and starting operation on a new installation.

I go over the various things that can cause problems for startup and operation of a Hydraulic Ram Pump.

Diagnose and correct your ram pump issues and problems. In the video I mention a web page that I found last year that had all the design specs that I built from.

I retrieved the bookmark and the web page had been deleted. So, I will find a new source for that info and post it here when I do.
