If you have access to back issues of BACKHOME Magazine, I think Summer 92
or No.8 is what you need.  The article is listed as Making Water Pump
Itself.  Also Volume 41, page 74 of HOMEPOWER magazine has complete plans
for metal water ram.  Maybe others have leads on an all plastic model.
There was a lot of interest in water rams back in the hippie days so old
Mother Earth News would be another source.  Mike Miller
