The modern Hydram uses a very old principle of physics in a simple but effective way to move
water from a stream or river to places where it is most needed. Where there is suitable clean
water available, it can provide supplies to remote houses or communities, allow irrigation of inaccessible areas and maintain feed water for stock in areas at a distance
from water sources.

The working parts are limited to rubber valve discs and maintenance is simply a matter of
ensuring waterways are clear and flowing freely.

The Hydram has two requirements in order to work, a supply of continuously flowing water and the ability to locate the Hydram at a point lower in height than the flowing water. The Hydram can work off alls as low as 1 metre and under suitable conditions can pump water up to heights of 150 metres. Within reason distance is no object.

1.	Water flows with considerable force and speed down an inclined drive pipe into the Hydram.
2.	The water spills out through the waste valve until the pressure on the disc in the valve causes it to close. This causes the pressure in the body to rise.
3.	Due to the high pressure, water flows from the pump body through the delivery valve into the air vessel.
4.	The air vessel absorbs the momentum of the water until it is stationary at which point the delivery valve closes and the waste valve opens.
5.	The water trapped in the air vessel is pushed out through the delivery pipe and into the storage tank.
6.	The complete cycle then repeats again, automatically 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
