Water ram in river

[muddtree]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a hydraulic water ram pump. I have about 30 ft of 2" PVC feeding into the pump. It's around 2-3 ft above the ram pump.

My issue is the ram check valve is not burping. I don't know if there is an air leak or just not enough pressure flowing into the pump.

Height and pressure 2.31 ' per lb doesn't matter if the the.pipe is 1/4" or 2' it's all the same. Look on you tube for some pointers. Also look at these operating problems.
