Our MIND BLOWING Off-Grid Water System / diy ram pump install

[@EpicMiniLife]

Seems like a small thing, but a full water system is quite an achievement. Awesome!

[@kathrynmauro8673]

True. Small but essential for a better quality of life.

Regarding multiple trips to town for parts: 40 years ago, I was in the same boat, and while I had a pretty decent little hardware store in the mountains that was 20 minutes away (40 round trip), the bigger stores were over an hour away. I started a plan where if I needed two, I bought four. Slowly over time I built my own hardware store. : P I am still amazed to dig into my boxes or tubs or bins today and pull out exactly what I need, and it has a price sticker of 49 cents that today would be $3.00. It's really an investment of sorts because you not only save money and time not having to run to town as much, but the prices! There is one catch. My shop today is 36' X 48' with three bays. It's pretty much full of my "plan" I started 40 years ago. : P

[@ncubesays]

My dad's the same and has boxed tidbits from various hardware stores over the years! It always feels extra special when he fixes something for you with a part he bought in the 90s.

[@QueenB572]

Sadie is one of the healthiest looking toddlers I've seen for a long time. So fun watching her over time. And... congrats on your water! Another thing to look forward to from your vids.

[@deegeevieira8860]

I can't believe how much Sadie have grown and how smart she is. She observes everything her parents are doing, by the time she's a teenager, she will be helping her parents. I love it.!!! Blessings to this beautiful Family 👪 🙏👐❤❤❤

[@hubertwebb9869]

❤❤I have watched many farmers set up a ram pump, but it is always still exciting to watch every time. I think it's the enthusiasm of the people who just recently discovered it.

[@sunnywatson2696]

It is great that you have another water source that wont cost you extra money or electricity. Keep up the great work.

[@LandtoHouse]

Nice to see you working with the ram pump. It can be a life changing tool.

[@brianleonard6885]

My father would be so proud of you 👏 he was a master plumber. I'm very proud and happy 😊 xoxo love ❤️ yall.

[@enduroebikeaddict]

Good job with the Ram Pump, It should work. 1 foot of water = 0.433 PSI, so 40 PSI is 92 feet in elevation, so if the top of your storage tanks are below 92 feet in elevation from the Ram Pump, you will have flow. Make sure that you filter larger debris going in the Ram Pump so not to break the seals of the valves. Keep it up... Cheers from Canada

[@laurashepard3099]

Think you have your consultant! 🎉

[@BoomerTex]

Yep - I was about to say the same thing when I saw your comment. At 26:15 Jordan says he thinks it only needs about 30 feet elevation, but from what we see in the shots they showed us I have to believe he is way off. So first they have said that Rodrigo's house is 9 meters tall (about 30 feet) and the bathroom area seems to be at about the height of the top of Rodrigo's house. They also showed what looked like going downhill from around Rodrigo's quite a bit so at least another 30 feet down to the river. Then they also took it downhill from there to the pump, no way for us to know how far, but probably only a few feet. Also the gauge wasn't showing fully 40 psi but more like 36 PSI which would get more like 83 feet elevation with no pressure left at that point, so realistically between 75 and 80 feet. My guess is they will be able to get the water easily up to the level of Rodrigo's house where they will need to build a holding tank and either setup another ram pump there or use an electric pump from there since Rodrigo will need electricity at his house anyhow. But this is all a guess since we cant see everything. All in all though an incredible feat. Congratulations Jordan!

[@enduroebikeaddict]

@@BoomerTex They can make it work regardless by lowering the ram pump in relation of the water source to increase lift. Ram pump will have about 1:7 ratio of feet of head to lift, meaning that for every 1 foot that the ram pump is below the water source, it will raise the water 7 feet. Worse case, he will have to do some more digging... What I would do personally to find out what is required, would be to attach a laser pointer on a level and set it on top of their highest storage tank and use a measuring tape to measure the height at the ram pump location. After this is known, then you will know the vertical fall required for the ram pump by using the 1:7 ratio of feet of head to lift. He's a smart guy, he'll figure it out. Cheers

WOW! Jordon you are THE MAN!!! This is sooo exciting and I can't wait to see what's next!🙌🌈 Sadie is so adorable! Her spirit and enthusiasm is such a mirror of you both and a true joy to watch unfold❤❤❤ Stay safe, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋

[@ThisOffGridLife]

I CAN imagine this feeling!!!! We have a creek similar to yours 500m away from our off grid home, we don't know if we can run a ram pump , but after this video you bet we are going to try!!! The flow is about the same as yours and we need to pump ours ~ 120' up and over a hill to get it to our cistern. I have been celebrating with you this whole video because it's working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Been watching you grow for 6 years. Absolutely all the love, and congratulations!!!!!!

[@TheHavasu_77]

Another HUGE helpful thing that Jordan can do for his allergies, if you can find it, is locally made honey! I have allergies living in the Mojave Desert that I never had when living in CA. Someone told me to find locally made honey and put it in hot water and drink, or just have a spoonful everyday, and BOOM! Allergies WAY less than before! Love you guys, and I love your Lola’s Farm! 🥰❤️
