flux, thank you very much for helping me work through a frustrating problem. I know you mean well but your last post but it is more in the realm of the ideal vice the practical .. at least for me.
For less than 1/1000th the cost of even a low-end commercially manufactured ram pump -- professionally installed, I have two less-than-ideal, amateurishly-made-and-installed ram pumps.
Bottomline: I've water pumping up to the top of the hill. Will the pumps cause me trouble in the future? There's no doubt in my mind, but that's life at the lower end of the social-economic ladder. I have a 25-year-old truck (that runs well) ... practical, not ideal.
After having said all that, I must say: Thank You! I sincerely mean this: your help (and Scott's too) was invaluable. Without it, I may have stewed over the problem for weeks before getting the kinks worked out.
