FAQs about Pumps

How high can a ram pump lift water?

• Hydraulic ram pumps are used to move water uphill without relying on electricity or gasoline. In general, you can estimate a 1:7 ratio, meaning for every foot of drop (head) that you have, you can potentially raise water around 7 foot.

How many types of hydraulic pumps are there?

• While there are a variety of pump types, there are generally three main types of hydraulic pumps. Gear pumps are typically used for truck-mounted hydraulic systems. Piston pumps are used when high-operating pressures are needed. And finally, vane pumps can be used on utility vehicles like aerial buckets and ladders.

How far can a 1 horsepower pump push water?

• The first question to ask is if the well is shallow or deep. A shallow well allows a pump to suck water into the well pipe; however, a deep well will not easily allow this. For a 1 HP pump, the push range can vary from 40 ft. to 80 ft. uphill.
