A hydraulic ram pump is a pressure pump primarily used to pump water in remote areas where a power source such as electricity or fuel is limited or unavailable. A ram pump operates solely on the flow and weight of water, in other words it’s a water powered water pump.
When set up ram pumps are very reliable and run for many years with little to no maintenance required due to only having two moving parts. Hydraulic ram pumps are an ideal solution for off grid water location permitting. You could also combine a pump with a storage tank and a micro-turbine and you can store energy, for free, 24/7.
