Hydraulic ram pumps have been very important equipment since the time of its invention that dates back to nearly two centuries back. Ever since, it has been the most popular pump for rural areas that are uphill and need to draw water for their daily needs. Here are some interesting facts that you need to know about the hydraulic ram pump.
Hydraulic ram pumps do not need any electricity to work and are simple DIY installaions. All they need is the potential energy of flowing water, a form of energy best found in waterfalls.
With this energy, a hydraulic hand pump can provide up to 15 per cent of the total water from the water fall to higher elevations. The elevation could be up to 5 times the height of the fall.
Modern pumps can provide water to higher ground levels even if provided with 6 feet of falling water on the condition that the flow should be continuous.
