I have built and bought hydraulic ram pumps. I have bought the books from England, called ram builders all over the US, and searched the net. Don Wilson's book has the clearest directions I have seen.

Mr. Wilson's "how to book" wins a thumbs up for clairty and simplicity for the do-it-your self reliant types

Not only an informative booklet on the topic of hydraulic ram water pumping, but filled with clear diagrams, part lists and sources, and thorough set-up and troubleshooting sections. Even with a minimal water flow, this pump performs! Although the price to build it in todays dollars is more than indicated, you can't go wrong with the sturdy, dependable design. I've been moving water over 1200 feet at a 100 foot rise for over 3 months, averaging 600 gallons in a 24 hour period. Highly recommended for entry into this fascinating method of pumping.

How many times have I heard people say "my Grand Dad had a Ram Pump on his farm". Yet the ram pump today has been almost totally lost in the modern fast paced world we live in. Which makes this book so important to have the ability to pump water uphill with no electricity required. Now thats saying something about the ram pump and the great book which covers from A-Z the plans for building your own pump. Get this book.

I thought it was some kind of joke when I openeed the package. It was supposed to be a book. Just know before you get this that it's a pamphlet and not a book. Highly overpriced if you ask me.

I bought this book because I wanted to build a hydraulic ram pump and that's exactly what I did. Don Wilson's instructions and diagrams were clear and to the point...I followed those directions and I now have my own pump. Mr Wilson also included a small section about how to construct a concrete water tank. My new water system is an important step towards my goal of off the grid living.

This book is very good !
I 'd read this ,now I try to make Hydraulic ram pump !
