Zewel Ram Pump

(Zero Energy Water Elevated Lift Ram Pump)

"With no moving mechanical parts to wear out, the ZewelRam Pump is probably the simplest
and most cost-effective water pumping solution, delivering water up to heights of 150 meters and
over long distances 24/7 without the need of electricity or fuel!"

Many of the world’s aquifers are now in distress – pumping ground water from wells or bore
wells IS HARMING THE ENVIRONMENT!
The Zewel Pump utilizes flowing surface water-
not ground water- and so does not impact on the
water table.

Although its design is based on traditional hydro ram principles using the 'water hammer' effect
to pressurize a portion of the flow, the Zewel Pump uses patented elastomeric valves. This
enabled the design of the pump to be much smaller, much lighter, and more efficient and they
don't contain moving mechanical parts that wear out! Our pumps are manufactured from modern
50% glass 50% nylon composite which was specifically developed in Italy as a metal
replacement - it's extremely strong and stable and doesn't corrode. We have pressure tested our
pumps to 50 bar - nearly 4 times their maximum working pressure - and we can't break them!
Applications for the Zewel Ram pump
1. Pump and Store for later use

The economic and environmental solution using the Zewel Pump to mitigate flood and drought
water problems.

The concept is simple. Store water when abundant and use it when there is a shortage.
And there are huge benefits from a Zewel Pump & Store system, not least the large savings on
water bills.
If we first look at a farm WITHOUT a Pump and Store System...

During the wet season, drinking troughs are filled by public water - livestock can enter the
stream to drink and cause pollution. The stream floods and can cause damage.
• Bank Erosion
• Cattle polluting the watercourse
• Public Water used for livestock watering
• Possible flooding damage
During the dry season the stream flow diminishes and more public water has to be used to
supplement the water for livestock. More mains water is needed for crops. Water bills soar.

• WATER CRISIS
• Large amounts of public water used for livestock
• Stressed crops need more water
• Thirsty livestock pollute stream and damage banks
...then we look at the benefits of a farm WITH a Pump and Store System

During the wet season, water is pumped with a Zewel Pump up to a large storage
tank/lagoon. For many farms, using this water will reduce public water bills significantly and
will also mitigate flood situations. Because water is delivered to the farm and to the livestock,
there is no need for them to enter the watercourse which can be fenced off, helping the
environment.

• Zewel Pump has NEAR ZERO RUNNING COSTS

• Enables good water catchment/environmental management
• It is possible to almost eliminate costly public water
• Stores water for dry season

During the dry season the stream flow diminishes but even with low or negligible flows, the
Zewel Pump can still deliver water to the storage tank or lagoon. The stored water is then used
for livestock watering and/or irrigating crops. Crops benefit from better irrigation. Public water
is used less frequently and therefore water bills are kept down to a minimum.
• Crisis avoided with good water stocks
• Stored water is used for livestock and/or crops
• Pump can still work with small and variable flows
• Wellwatered livestock, crops give better yields
• Use of mains water kept to a minimum
 2. Agriculture & Livestock

Pump and Store

The idea is simple - you pump water when it is plentiful to a storage tank at the highest point on
your property - to use where and when you need it! You can gravity feed the stored water to
animal troughs, for irrigation or to your home for domestic use. You can even use it for micro
generation to help power your home or business.

productivity on your land(and it doesn't matter if you're a smallholder with a few livestock and
crops or a company with a large plantation!)
With the Zewel Pump, you can obtain free water for livestock, irrigation or general use
 3. Off Grid Water Supply

Pump water continuously, even from the smallest spring

Whether you decided to go off-grid because you are concerned about global warming, or you're
so far away from public water or electricity supplies that you don't have a choice then you are
probably looking for a low cost, reliable, easy to install solution to move water around your
property.
Because the Zewel Pump operates 24/7, even with small water sources, it can deliver significant
volumes of water over long distances and to elevations of up to 150 meters. Containing NO
moving mechanical parts that wear out, just our patented, simple, long-lasting EPDM valves, you
get reliability and longevity.

This makes the Zewel Pump a great solution for minimal visual impact on the environment - no
solar panels, no windmills, no wires - once installed many people will be unaware of the pump
except for the gentle heartbeat of the pump beneath their feet.

How the ZewelPump can work for your Off Grid Homestead

If you have water from a spring, stream or river and it needs to be delivered to your property, the

 5. Commercial & utility

Water delivery solutions using no fuel or electricity means large scale cost savings!
If you run a water intensive business like a golf course, plantation or fish farm with access to a
flowing water source on or near your estate, you may be in for a very positive surprise because
an investment in a Zewel Pump should payback in a couple of years and then give you free water
for life.
Stop paying for drinking quality water when you don't need to!
Using drinking water (public supplies) for cleaning, watering and sanitation is costly and in a
commercial operation it is like pouring money down the drain.
If you have a nearby stream or river, you can install a Zewel ram pump and deliver water for
free! And a simple Zewel ram pump system can often save you paying for costly infrastructure
and pipework, in rural caravan sites, fish farms, remote treatment plants and plantations.

How Green is the Zewel Pump?

The Zewel Pump is a renewable source of energy that uses no electricity or fossil fuels. This
graph shows the estimated amount of CO2 emissions generated by pumping 20m³ per day to a
height of 100m over a period of 10 years.
The Zewel Pump emits Zero Carbon Dioxide!
As many of the world's aquifers are now in distress, pumping out ground water from a well or
borehole is harming the environment. That's why the Zewel Pump uses available surface water -
NO GROUND WATER - and so does not impact on the water table.
Water delivery Calculater

First work out your basic layout. Position your catchment at the highest possible point of the
watercourse. Then position your pump chamber at the lowest practical position. This will give
you maximum efficiency and maximise your delivery.
When you have estimated your Supply Head and Delivery Head (as the diagram below) you can
then work out how much water you can deliver to your higher level storage tank.

Check your estimated water delivery in 3 easy steps:

1 Enter your Supply Head in metres to the nearest available value in the drop-down list
2 Enter your Delivery Head in metres to the nearest available value in the drop-down list
3 Enter your Supply flow in litres/minute to the nearest available value in the drop-down list

Zewel Multi Pump Systems

If you need more water than a Zewel Pump can provide but don't need the full output of a
Ventura, you should consider a Zewel Multi-Pump System - you can run up 10 pumps in parallel
using one supply tank, one supply pipe trench and one delivery pipe to give you an incredible
water delivery. The other advantage is that while you are performing maintenance on one pump,
the rest keep going giving you uninterrupted water delivery.
