Ram Pumps in Commercial Buildings for Drainage
Ram Pumps in Commercial Buildings for Drainage
(OP)
Greetings
I saw this video about ram pumps and it seems like a very good idea to apply to a drainage sump pit in a commercial building.

However, I have never seen such an installation. I only have experience with centrifugal submersible pumps. Is there a reason why ram pumps are not used in commercial building's drainage? Can anyone share his/her experience for a ram pump installation in a commercial building?
Thank you

You also have to have a noisy air compressor giving you power.

If the building houses, say, a forge shop, no one will notice.
If the building is populated with office space, everyone will notice.
You may even get complaints from occupants of adjacent buildings.
