Product Description
Hydraulic Ram Pump
An old technology that allows you to pump water from a creek or river.
-The 1-1/4" ram pump requires at least 8gpm to operate.
-You will need a minimum of 2 feet of fall (head pressure) to get the pump running correctly.
-The driving force behind the ram pump is “head pressure” this is the drop in water between the source and pump location. You will need at least 2 feet of head pressure to get the pump going.
-You can expect to get a ratio of 1:7 head pressure to lift. This means that for every 1 foot of water falling into the pump you will get 7 feet of lift out.
-In order to setup the ram pump you will need two additional components. A drive pipe, to bring water to the pump, and a delivery pipe to take water to the desired location. The Drive pipe needs to be the same size as the waste valve on the pump. In this case 1-1/4". You can use Steel, PVC or Poly Pipe. It is recommended that the drive pipe be longer than 15 feet and shorter than 100 feet. The Delivery pipe can be any size you like. Even a garden hose will work. (Some additional components might be required to connect pipe to the pump depending on the type pipe you use)
-Once the required pipes are installed and the pump is in location you will need to start the pump. Initially you will need to manually press the brass swing valve to allow pressure to build in the pressure tank. Once the pressure has built the pump will cycle on its own.

If you are unsure how these things work, or how to set one up, Seth does a great job of showing the ins and outs of the whole process. He also has a lot of videos where he tries different things with his ram pumps to see what works and what does not. I highly recommend checking out his channel. I read a lot of reviews before I bought this pump and one of the biggest negative comments that I saw was in regards to the pump requiring both, a steady flow of water as well as a significant drop. Seth goes over this thoroughly in his videos as well as in his description. If you are unsure whether or not your location will be suitable, I recommend checking out his videos. Just as a quick reference, every 1 foot of drop in the drive pipe generates 7 feet of lift in the delivery pipe.

Foremost, I've never shopped a plumbing department where everything was in the correct bin. If you are a rookie, don't even try. How much is your time worth?
Land-to-House builds ram pumps that work. They arrive almost ready to use. It will be up to you as to how to connect to the device; and that includes both the front and rear ends.
Connecting is the easy part. Any clerk can look at your device and tell you what it takes to complete the circuit.
Usually costs less than ten bucks for the adapter fittings.
A ram pump is a delicate balance of nature. Please watch YouTube to educate yourself. There is math and physics involved to understand how a ram pump works. Maybe you might get lucky and score on the first shot.
But, a ram pump is akin to adjusting the carburetor and distributor on grandpa's old car. Doesn't take much effort; but it requires a lot of comprehension.
Again, educate yourself on YouTube before buying. This is not a toy for the ignorant.
My best advice is to test your pump in your yard before dealing with the creek. You can buy a cheap trash barrel to hold water. Set the barrel up on your porch steps. Find out exactly how much elevation is required to get your pump started. Also, test how much drive pipe is needed.
A ram pump is a tool. You need to know how to wield that tool. Land-To-House makes a great tool. But, don't think this device is "plug&play."
Before buying, watch the numerous videos of Land-to-House on YouTube; or visit his web site. Very informative. If, after all that you are still confused, don't buy this pump.
Now, back to the beginning: What would you pay somebody to shop all those parts, and glue them together? Might realize this is a pretty good deal for the newcomer. Personally, I'm experimenting with different designs. Couldn't have got this far without Land-To-House. And, so far, his designs rule.
Buy this pump only if you understand why it works. Great pump for the informed.
