Another development on this front is the Glockemann Water Pump developed
by Glockemann Peck Engineering in South East Australia. It works on similar
principles to the ram pump although it is cheaper, almost silent and more
efficient. Ralph Glockemann lives near Magic Mountain in South Eastern
New South Wales and works closely with long standing Permaculture Designer
Hugh Gravestein. I first saw a working prototype at Ralph's property in
1993 and it worked wonderfully well. Their ad in Earth Garden Magazine
details the following:
Reliable water powered water pumping
Easy to operate
No fuel costs
Pumps to a head of 200 metres
Versatile
Install in any creek or river
Runs quietly
Minimal maintenance
Low supply drop, as little as half a metre
