The ram pump is an off grid water pump that does not need fuel or electricity to run, only flowing falling water. There are several factors to consider when selecting the right size ram pump for your needs.
1. What is the flow rate of your water source? The ram pump uses water as the force to activate the waste valve. Each size ram pump needs a specific amount of water:
1/2in needs 2gpm
3/4in needs 4gpm
1in needs 6gpm
1 1/4in needs 8gpm
2. The amount of water that the ram pump can pump in a day depends on input head pressure and lift height. But also depends on the ram pump size. These are the max values you can expect with an ideal install:
1/2in 300GPD
3/4in 600 GPD
1in 1000GPD
1 1/4in 1440GPD
3. The ease of installation makes a difference when working with the ram pump. Smaller pumps are easier to work with as the pipes are smaller and getting the air out of the line can be less of a challenge.
4. Price. Take a look at the price of the pump and determine what size best fits your budget.
5. Sound. The ram pump has a waste valve and water hammer pressure wave that both make noise when cycling. Smaller pumps have a quieter clicking sound while larger pumps have a more notable sound.
