[QUOTE="Claypipe, post: 541897, member: 17597"] Hi folks, not trying to raise false hopes here, but I have an idea to throw up for consideration. As it is reasonably clear that power operated Walbankers and other highbankers are no longer permissible in NSW, what about using the non powered hydraulic ram pumps to pump the water into the banker? The technology has been around for over 40 years and has been further refined by some over those years. As I understand it, all you need is water in the watercourse, a fall of between 0.6 metres to 1.6 metres from the water inlet to the non powered ram pump an you have an everlasting flow of water. Not sure whether the water pressure would be sufficient to run the Walbanker but might be worth looking into. Heaps of other advantages with this approach, apart from being legal, lighter to carry, noiseless, at least half the cost of a petrol powered water pump, no fuel to carry, no fuel running costs, no running costs apart from replacing a low cost diaphram once in a blue moon, and should pretty well last forever...... Just a thought Regards Ron :idea: [/QUOTE]
