The Complete Hydraulic Ram Manual - Paperback

by Tom Moates (Author)

The classic authoritative work on ram pumps, The Complete Hydraulic Ram Manual, is now back in print! Originally published in 2000, this book was widely available through the independent living magazines at the time and was the book that launched The Homestead Press. We are delighted to make available again this informative manual on how-to build your own ram pump from off the shelf plumbing fittings and other readily available parts. The original book blurb states:

"Tom Moates is a well known author whose work has appeared in the US, Canada, and the UK in such magazines as Mother Earth News, Country Journal, Harrowsmith, and New

Age Journal. Much of this work promotes renewable energy resources and covers many user built technologies like solar panel trackers and electric conversion vehicles. The Complete Hydraulic Ram Manual is his answer to so many calls and letters with questions about the ram pump how-to article "Poetry in Motion" which ran in the 1996 April/May issue of Mother Earth News. He and Carol, his wife, built their off grid house on a 20 acre homestead in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. They produce their electricity with photovoltaics, pump their mountain spring water with the ram pump described in this book, and garden organically."
