Using gravity to pump water nonstop without power! Full water system install!
What happens here
Connect the poly drive pipe to the ram pump's inlet using a union. If using poly pipe, ensure the connection is secure with hose clamps. Previously, the connection came apart in cold weather without proper clamping. The poly delivery pipe will then be laid across the ground and up the hill towards the water tank.
Goal: Establish the water supply line to the ram pump.
