Love listening to the constant beat of our ram pump.
These things work wonders in areas where electricity isn’t an option. All that is required is some PVC pipe and a little bit of elevation. 1 foot of intake drop will create roughly 7 feet of lift.
We pump from a creek bed to a 55 gallon drum about 75 yards out into one of the pastures. From there a few simple fittings and hoses and we have water to the animals. Thinking about tapping an overflow hose that can be moved around for some extra irrigation over the dryer months.
Tank sits up about 4 ft to give some pressure. All in maybe 15 feet of lift across that distance. #homesteading #water #pump #livestock #farm #grownostr
