Using gravity to pump water nonstop without power! Full water system install!

What happens here

The poly delivery pipe is extended from the ram pump along the fence line, secured with rebar stakes, and leads to a galvanized steel stock tank located uphill. The pipe feeds into a Dare-O-Matic farm tank float valve, which automatically controls the water level in the tank. This system provides a continuous supply of fresh water for livestock without the need for electricity. The low-flow nature of the ram pump means it slowly but consistently fills the tank (approximately 300 gallons per day). While resilient to cold (down to 17 degrees Fahrenheit), it's important to regularly check for ice buildup around the pump and debris in the intake filter to ensure continuous operation.

Goal: Provide a continuous supply of water to the livestock tank.
