It takes in water at one "hydraulic head" (pressure) and flow rate, and outputs water at a higher hydraulic head and lower flow rate. The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that allows a portion of the input water that powers the pump to be lifted to a point higher than where the water originally started. Ram Pumps can operate 24/7 using free flowing water down a slope or fall. Can be used to pump spring water or creek water to hydrate gardens, livestock, lawns, or your home, or can be used in remote areas with no infrastructure. Generally, for every 1ft (0.3m) of drop you can pump the water 7ft (2.1m) up. -make sure you have enough flow at delivery to drive the pump (for this 1/2'' pump, flow requierment is 2gpm (7.6 l/min) -make sure to use corrrect drive pipe length: 25-100ft ( 7,5-30,5m) -make sure IN/OUT pipes are 1/2'' in diameter (same as pump) -recommended minimum 3ft od drop (cca. 1m) -make sure the pump is clean for optimal operation -make sure back pressure is sufficient PUMP DIMENSIONS Length: 317mm / 12.4in Height: 705mm / 27.8in Tank diameter: fi50mm / 1.97in Pump assembly diameter: fi12.7mm / 1/2'' Weight: 1600g / 3.5lb All components are Potable-water safe with Lead-Free brass and PVC.
