The Hydraulic Ram Pumps came from my own need to pump water for my animals. I recalled my father telling me many years ago about ram pumps and their amazing potential. Intensive research ensued and I read all the literature I could find and ran many calculations. With my own Pump designed, built, and pumping away merrily the next step became obvious. Here was an opportunity to supply others with a pump of superior quality and best of all my sons and I could build them together. When you buy from us you support our family and put well-deserved spending money into our boy's wallets. My goal is to build a ram pump that is user-serviceable and durable. With proper maintenance, they should last 100 years or more. I never want to sell a replacement pump due to the original pump being non-rebuildable. We believe in creating products that are more economical to repair or rebuild than buy new and contribute to the throwaway culture that has become so pervasive.
