Out with the old in with the new!
33 year old 4” Williamson Rampump base had rusted out so we replaced it with a 100mm Black Panther Rampump base, installed new Black Panther valves and used the old pressure tank for another 33 years of pumping 30,000 litres a day.
Mark had over 20 years of experience with Williamson Rampumps before developing the Black Panther Rampump.

Why Choose a Ram Pump?
Zero Running Costs — Runs entirely on the natural flow of water from your stream, creek, or spring. No electricity, no diesel, no solar panels — ever.

Eco-Friendly — 100% green technology. Zero emissions, no fossil fuels — just cleverly uses the energy already in your flowing water.
