Has anyone ever used a ram pump?

The reason I’m asking is that I want to know if they can work and pump water continuously?
I’m planning on using a creek that’s close to my pond to pump fresh water into throughout the year. The spring never dries and puts out a good bit of water, and the pond can drain out the water properly.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Lot of variables involved. Flow rate of source water and elevation change being pretty critical components of the equation.

There would need to be a significant fall, from your water source to the location of your pump I think.
If you have that, it would probably work pretty well. It's a really simple concept without many moving parts.
As a matter of fact, I think it only has 1 moving part and that's a check valve.

Is your creek big enough to run a water wheel?
