Solution Overview & Benefits

Ram pumps use the water hammer effect from built up water pressure to lift a small percentage of a water source to an elevated position. While they do not require an outside power source, an abundant water source such as a stream or spring is necessary and the pump must be placed in an area of land set at a lower elevation than the water source. When installed properly, water running downhill through a delivery pipe will build up pressure in a chamber in the pump, which is then used to pump water through a smaller diameter delivery pipe over a greater distance or an elevation even higher than the original water source.
